Thankful and Poetry Thursday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Thanks to Angel Sammy for the fun picture this week!

A Surreal Tale  by Xena Schnauzer Warrior Princess and Critter Hunter

I saw a critter stirring,
it looked to be fair game.
It saw me coming toward it;
I ran without fear or shame.

Through leaves and trees and prickly brush
Cross streams and meadows wide,
Up hills, down vales, the chase went on,
E’en through the Great Divide.

Then suddenly it’s mate appeared
And they began to kiss.
I listened as they said goodbye
Don’t think I can handle this!

I retraced my steps and arrived home
In time to eat a meal.
When asked what fun the day had brought
I made up tales less surreal.

So now a critter family lives just beyond our shed.
I tell the babies stories when they settle down for bed
About the time their dad and I crossed hill and dale and streams.
They sleep and I’m their godmother in all their precious dreams.

Now it’s time for my thankfuls! First, thanks to Angel Brian, for hosting Thankful Thursday!
 I’m thankful Mommy took me to work with her last week and again this Tuesday.

And I’m thankful for the warm sunlight!

Your friendly neighborhood schnauzer, Xena.

  2. I love tissue paper……so did my predecessor Angel Sammy. It’s crinkly and noisy and makes a very comfy thing to lie on. Mom gives me a fresh piece every week which I promptly crinkle up to suit my needs – I know a lot of cats who enjoy a nice sheet of tissue paper – it’s a great toy!!

    Hugs, Teddy

  13. What a cute poem Xena! You have strong willpower though, I think I still would have gone after those creatures!! Sun puddles are the best, especially when you are with your Mama at work!

  19. Xena! That was a most amazing and wonderful poem about a truly epic adventure……! So happy you joined us for poetry day – it’s always fun isn’t it. Looks like you scored a nice sunny spot for a snooze. I have trained my Mom to have a piece of tissue paper available in each of my favorite sunny places in the house so I can enjoy FULLY my house-naps. Humans are sometimes tough to train aren’t they!

    Hugs, Teddy
