Chia’s Poem and Thankfuls

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Hi folks, it’s Chia week around here. It started with me going to Mom and Dad’s church last Saturday where the priest “blessed” me. Dad said Father Robert would have to drive the demons out first, but the priest just laughed and said the blessing would take care of it. Then Mom took me to a place called The Greenway where there’s a huge dog park and lots of trails to walk. What was even better was that I got to walk the trails twice cause the first time Mom lost her glasses and we had to go try to find them. I walked really nice, too, probably cause I had just gotten blessed! In fact, I’ve been a very good girl all week (so far), so maybe the blessing did help make me a better girl! In fact, I’ve been so good that Mom said I could do the poem today. With lots of wags and thanks to  Angel Sammy for the picture this week and for Brian’s Home Blog for Thankful Thursday, here’s my poem.

I’m Blessed and Not a Stinker by Chia

I’m tired of being a bad girl, tired of being a stinker,
Tired of wearing this costume, so now I’ll be a sinker.
I’ll just jump in the river and go to doggie heaven.
But what are those folks doing? They’re yelling, “No! That is a sin!”

“Hang on, dear poochie,” said they. “We’re here to save and love you!
You’re blessed and good (and pretty.) We promise we won’t eat you.
They carried me back to safety. I ran on home to Mommy.
I really love my Lucy. I’m blessed and not a skunkie.

Thankfuls, hmmm. I’m really thankful that I get to sleep in the big bed with Mom and Dad every night. I’m thankful that I get to eat the best food ever. I’m thankful for my sister Lucy…well, and for Xena too. She’s funny, she keeps grabbing toys to get me to play with her. And sometimes she even drags her bed into the living room like it is a stuffed animal to get me to play. And I’m thankful for Riley, too. He’s not so bad, ya know? OK, I’m gonna go cuddle up with Lucy now and take my nap.

XOXOXOX Chia

  13. Lulu: “That’s exactly what people would do if they saw you stuck on that bridge, Chia, they would save you! Humans may not agree on much but it seems like they always come together to rescue us dogs when we need it. Just the other day I saw a video of them making a human chain to pull a dog out of a steep-sided concrete flood channel.”
    Charlee: “I’m sure they would do it for us cats, too, if we cats didn’t know how to take care of ourselves.”
    Java Bean: “Ayyy, what about the old firemen-rescuing-a-cat-from-a-tree thing?”
    Chaplin: “That only happens in the movies.”

  20. Chia excellent job on your poem but you are definitely NOT a Stinker and you must promise never to do anything dangerous like go out on a bridge like the wiggly-wobbly one in the photo poem today! Stay safe !!!

    Hugs, Teddy

  21. Wow, Chia!! We loved your preamble to your poem and we think your take on the photo prompt was very original!! You know how to write a good story/poem! And that you ran back to your Mommy after you got off that wobbly rickety bridge!

    We bet it feels good to have doggy furblings…yup, we know!
