Hello! I am joining my dear blogger friend Maria in posting daily gratitude. Join us if you wish – it can be anything you acknowledge – a moment, a view, a thought, something more tangible, anything. Post a word, a paragraph, or a photo, and tag your posts #DailyGratitudePractice2026.

Tonight I am grateful and hopeful that we may have a nightly routine for my boy. He’s been having a issue with play aggression and has bitten us several times, with Bill getting the worst of it. After doing some research (and I have a call into an animal behavior specialist) I tried a play session with him tonight, his wobbly toy with treats that he has to bat around to get the treats to come out, wet food for dinner, then he gets his harness on, which acts like a thunder shirt for a dog. Until bedtime, then his harness comes off.
After dinner he jumped up into his cat tree, curled up and went to sleep. It’s only the first day but I’m looking forward to doing this with him and seeing if this calms him down in the evenings.
