I want to thank ZA Maxfield for having me on the blog today. It’s always fun to hang out with friends. I’m thankful for my friends.
This time of year makes me think of all of the things I’m thankful for. There’s the craziness of gift buying, the zaniness of traffic, plus the weather. There’s so much stress that can get a body down.
There’s one surefire way I find my zen, though. My critters. The cats and dogs.
When I’m stressed and need a few minutes, one of the cats or dogs know. They seek me out. I’m greeted with wagging tails and a kitty head-butt. I wouldn’t change it for anything.
I’ve got three cats—each with their own personality. The orange one is the angry old man cat. He’s the oldest and has been through the most. His tail is crooked and was snapped in half when he was a baby. I love his quirk. He doesn’t like many people and prefers quiet. When I’m really blue, he knows to find me. The black cat is the most social. He truly thinks he’s a dog. He follows me around like a puppy and eats the dog’s food. He’s more comfortable with the dogs, too. He’s not the most lovey-dovey, but that’s okay. He knows how to be around when I need to scoop him up for a cuddle. Then there’s the fluffy black and white cat. He’s the troublemaker. He stays out of sight until there’s something he shouldn’t climb into/get into/destroy…then he shows up. He keeps me on my toes. But he’s a cuddler. If I’m upset, I find him. I’m thankful for them each in their own way. The fuzzy face staring at me when I’m sad, the pushiness wanting to take my seat, but staying close and the knowing…I’m glad they’re in my life.
Then there are the canines. The dogs aren’t the cuddlers in the same way as the cats. I’m thankful for them, too, but in a different way. My dog—yes, DH and I have our own dogs…not because we chose to have a dog each, but because the dogs chose us—loves to be right next to me. Like, if I go somewhere, she has to be there. If I’m sitting on the couch, she has to be right beside me. If I walk out of the room, she has to know where I’m going. She’s silly and loyal. She knows, just like the cats, when I’ve had a rough day. She’s stinky and drooly (being part basset hound tends to bring out both qualities), but like I said, she’s loyal and I wouldn’t want her any other way—okay, maybe not the stinkiness, but there are always baths. The big black dog, DH’s dog, personifies the big, goofy dog. He’s lovable, cuddly and pushy. I’m not his person, but he’s still a good sport. He’s the player and the roughhouser. He helps me forget my troubles.
All of my critters are strays, either adopted from the animal shelter or from the pound. They’re silly, goofy, pushy and wonderful. The pets are quite the characters, but I wouldn’t have them any other way. They brighten my day and have featured in many of my stories. Without them, I’d probably be bored.
Keeping with the theme of thankfulness, here’s a little bit about my Thanksgiving story, Harvest Moon:
Harvest Moon by Megan Slayer
Moon Series, book 2
Also part of the Bleh! Turkey! Series
MLR Press
Contemporary, Paranormal, Holiday
Short Story
M/M, Anal Sex
What’s a guy to do when the time to be with family is the time he dreads the most?
All Matt Green wants for Thanksgiving is to propose to his boyfriend in the most epic way he knows-in front of their families. There’s only one catch. His boyfriend, Reed Jordan, doesn’t do family gatherings. To be honest, Reed isn’t wild about Thanksgiving, but he won’t say why.
Matt’s willing to do anything in order to get Reed to talk, but will it make the holiday perfect or or ruin all of Matt’s plans? The Harvest Moon just might be the right omen to make everything all right.
