Happy Thudsgiving! Thud is a 3-year-old, big, giant phloof of a dog. An Australian shepherd mix, Thud could use a job. Unemployment has left him a bit anxious — and somewhat overweight — so pass the lint roller but hold the gravy, please. Soft, silky and fluffy, Thud is friendly and ready to knock you down … I mean, knock your socks off! He needs a family who can handle a dog who doesn’t realize he’s over 100 pounds. You can visit Thud at PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 West 1st St., Aberdeen. They are open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Thursdays from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Please call 360-533-1141 or visit them online at www.pawsgh.org. Find them on Facebook and Instagram. PAWS will be closed Thanksgiving day.
