As we're gearing up for Thanksgiving, we want to spend some time feeling thankful for not just family but for "chosen family" - friends, pets, close coworkers, neighbors...the people that are in your lives because you want them to be.

So for today's "Friendsgiving-themed" Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention friends or pets?

Thanks to listener Ben for inspiring this idea.
