Thankful Day 9

I'm thankful for animals today. Much like the scenery, I'm sure everything has its purpose in the world or food chain, but so many of those animals are just fun to look at or pet. Take fish, for example. I don't even know how many different kinds of fish there are, but a lot of them-especially out here :)- are just really pretty with all their bright colors, and I think they're funny because of how the get around. Or how about birds? So many different kinds with different colors and different sounds they make! Not to mention the dogs and cats we usually keep as pets (or family members!). I'm also thankful for zoos and aquariums where I can go look at all those animals all at once. We don't have a zoo out here, and it makes me miss the tiny Abilene zoo where I could feed the giraffes! Good thing I can just put on a snorkel and check out the natural aquarium at the beach :)
