Zeus and Beauregard - a Great Dane and a Cairn Terrier puppy that thinks he's a Great Dane

Memories of joyful moments more than a decade ago when our cairn terrier puppy used to play with his Great Dane best friend, Zeus, in Craigleigh Gardens Park, in Rosedale, Toronto, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Our wee lad passed away this week, he lived a joyful life & was well loved ❤️

Each year I am reminded that the fourth Thursday in November is the observance of a National Day of Mourning for indigenous Americans. It's an opportunity to reflect on Native American heritage and the role Thanksgiving played in the lives of their ancestors, my children's ancestors. #gratitude
