Dog are reason to be thankful

I’m thankful for my dogs. I had a dog when I was born he was older than me but he sadly died when I was around five years old.

Two years later when I was around 7 my parents surprised me and my older sister Lexi with a new puppy. His name is Cooper he was a chug which is a pug and chihuahua mix. He is so cute I still have him he is currently 4 years old. Two or three months ago my family got a puppy French bulldog. His name is Koa which means fierce warrior in Hawaiian.

I am also thankful for a good family, nice house, and good food. I am really thankful for a shop which is currently in progress it is going to be awesome it is going to have a loft, basketball hoop, a pool room, and a man cave.

I live in a rural area so I go in the woods a lot and I like it so I’m thankful for that. I’m thankful for my 3 best friends I moved her when I was in 3rd grade and they were my first friends now all of us are family friends and they are like brothers to me.
