Grateful that we took a chance and adopted a large dog at an older age, so far, so good. He's got some arthritis, but it's not that bad. Almost every animal I've had, large/small, horse/dog, ends up with some kind of arthritis. I think people do too, as they get older, they get worse arthritis. He was about 7 when we got him and we've had him for over a year so he's over 8 now. These are estimates though. He's a joy.

Is that Luke? He makes your gratitude list a lot.


Right now I am grateful that both dogs are in the den with me because their presence fills me with joy.

Yes, he's Luke, a big, black German Shepherd/Great Dane mix. He's been treated pretty badly in the past, but he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. Of course, he gets a little bit spoiled, but not too badly. I am grateful for him. Sorry if I bore anyone!!

Worked till 4am this morning, then 4 hours sleep.

Now Bedtime - 9:30 pm.

But setting the alarm for 0100 to ensure i have enough time to complete my project to hit deadline, plus a bunch of other stuff and prep for a client meeting at 1100.

Grateful though, that I do have clients, my business is still in business and that people value what I do.

Grateful to be sober writing this.

Go well everyone.
