Canadian's give thanks: Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, especially those who are isolated this year
I hope you all had a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! The pandemic has made it difficult for families to get together this weekend. I know how isolating it can be living alone and not being able to visit family. Virtual visits and phone calls just aren't the same. I missed the hugs, the homecooked meal, and the playtime with my nephew. To all of you who are alone this holiday season, I want to send you my love. It's tough but we will get through this. Hold your pets and cherish the moments that you have with the people you love. Find ways to visit from afar. But most of all, stay safe.

and in many homes in North America the family members include pets. According
to a 2013 survey by Ipsos- a leading market research company in Canada-
57% of Canadian's own a pet. In the United States 67% of households have a pet

people with disabilities while others soothes people suffering from depression.
Either way there is plenty to give thanks to when it comes to pet.
