Happy Thanksgiving from VetLocator.com<\/p><\/div>\n

This morning I got up a few minutes later than normal and walked slowly downstairs to be greeted by 3 sets of anxious eyes and dancing paws.<\/p>\n

I was LATE FOR BREAKFAST.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ll bet you’ve had similar scenes in your house too.<\/p>\n

And as I began the morning ritual of gathering up the food bowls and preparing the morning special pet food mix, the dancing and love flinging in my direction intensified to a fever pitch.<\/p>\n

It’s nice to be adored \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I know my pets give thanks each and every time I feed them, and for each moment I take time from my busy schedule to spend just with them, and for sharing my life with me.\u00a0 And you know what?\u00a0 I feel exactly the same about them.\u00a0 I give thanks to them each day, for giving me such pleasure in their company, and such love.\u00a0 They remind me to be real because that is what they understand most.\u00a0 I thank them for that.<\/p>\n

And I have much more beyond sharing my life with my pets.\u00a0 I give thanks to the wonderful veterinarians that fill the directories we share with you.\u00a0 I’ve learned from these dedicated folks that being a veterinarian takes a special kind of person, someone who starts out with a love and need to help animals and matches it with a desire to heal.\u00a0 To generalize a bit, as a group, these are some of the nicest, most caring folks I’ve ever met, and I’m thankful for them.<\/p>\n

I give thanks for being part of a great team at VetLocator.com. It’s a pleasure to work here.<\/p>\n

And I give thanks to you as well.\u00a0 And I know your pets do too.<\/p>\n

In our Daily Paws newsletter, I mentioned the video I created showcasing our Thanksgiving Pet Pictures<\/strong>.\u00a0 I created it using Animoto<\/a>, a super simple online system that has a basic free account you can use to create videos from your photos or video clips and your favorite music.\u00a0 Animoto<\/a> will also host your video on their site and will even upload your video to a YouTube or Smugmug account if you have one.<\/p>\n

I uploaded the video to my personal YouTube account and then watched both videos side by side to see which service was better. I decided I liked the one hosted on Animoto<\/strong> the best because there is no bar at the bottom so it is actually a bigger image. Very nice.<\/p>\n

Below you can see the video I created and at the bottom of the video is the logo which links to Animoto<\/a> so you can make your very own videos if you want to.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
