Thank you, Rolf. Thank you, Elephant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolf: I wish Possum and Muds could have had Thanksgiving dinner with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Bear: I do, too, Rolf. But it was important for them to see their biological families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolf: Well, I understand that. I&#8217;d like to see my family, but Switzerland is just too far away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharpie: And I&#8217;d like to see my siblings in Korea, but it just isn&#8217;t possible this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ms. Bear: I&#8217;m glad we have each other. We may not be biological family, but we are chosen family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rolf: Besides, we have all my favorite foods \u2014 we have soft food AND kibble AND biscuits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Sounds of eating)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharpie: Mm, that was good.
