Thanks to Angel Sammy for the fun picture this week and to Angel Brian for hosting Thankful Thursday!
Hey there, friends! You may – or may not – have noticed that I’ve gotten to do the posting for a whole week long! It’s been a blast! (Mom says it helps keep me outa trouble.)

But all good things must come to an end…or at least slow down for just a bit. So here’s my last post before my brother and sisters get their turns…for maybe weeks…who knows?! **wiggles**

Partying (or Tie Up Your Boat Better) by Chia
We found a little island in the middle of the river.
I said, “Let’s stop and drink some booze e’en though it kills your liver.”
We drank and laughed and barked and howled until we all fell over.
Didn’t notice when the river round the island moved in closer.
Or when the boat we all came on broke free to float down river.
We fell asleep and spent the night til we all had to pee.
The boat was gone, and snapping turtles waited in the lee.
I saw some ducks who had no legs attached below the knee,
I knew I wasn’t jumping in – didn’t want that to be me!
Finally our pawrent appeared to rescue all us three!
The End
Now I’m passing the keyboard over to Xena who’s got some thankfuls today. Take it away, galfriend!
Xena: Uh, thanks, Chia. I am sorry for Lucy who lost her church privileges for reasons I have sworn to her to keep secret. But I am thankful that I have been chosen to be the new church dog as long as I don’t pee on the carpet.

I pooped in the room next to the office, but that was easy to clean up and I was only in a little bit of trouble. Now Mom’s taking me out to potty more often. The treats are good and it’s a good gig if you can get it (and not lose it, Loosy!)
Your friends, Chia Mia and Xexe
Chia: Pee Ess, when do I get to go to the church with Mom?
Everyone: NEVER!!
Mom’s note: Chia would be a great church dog if she didn’t have the chance to run out the door that’s just outside of my office and get squished on a very busy road!
*wags* I got all the available church dog slots this past week! And I was a GOOD girl. XOX Xexe

Maybe something harder to clean up than poop…..

It’s Mom who banned her, so she might get to go back once Mom treats the “affected” area. Not that Lucy “affected” an area. Uh, I would never say why Mom banned Lucy….uh. Guess I’ll say bye now. XOXOX Chia

Rushing the door is never a good idea, C. You can practice not doing it at home, and then maybe….. Maybe.

I doubt Xena will complain about more frequent potty calls! I’m glad no one holds that small transgression against her.

Lulu:”Awww, we’re sorry to sorta kinda hear about Lucy’s maybe accident. We are sure you will do an excellent job, Xena!”

We love your poem, Chia. It’s too bad Lucy lost her office privileges, but we’re sure it was only an accident and not her fault.

Great Poem Chia! you are getting better each day.. except of course running out open doors. Now Lucy needs to take over and tell me why she can’t go to church. I know in my heart it is not her fault, she is da best dog ever even though 2nd to Beau… i can’t imagine what could be worse than pooping in church..

WOW Chia you sure did a great job with the poem – it’s a wacky photo but I guess if you like peace and quiet it would be a nice spot to stay for a day or two (until you run out of food). Sorry Lucy has been banned from church (!) – but Xena gets a chance to take over as Church Pup. Hope everything works out for everybody!!! Thanks for joining Angel Sammy’s Poetry fun…..you ALL are great poets!
Hugs, Teddy
