First, many thanks to Angel Sammy for the challenging picture this week and to Angel Brian for hosting Thankful Thursday!
Rafting to Death by Riley
I went on a rafting trip with the boys;
I was told don’t bring any bones or sharp toys.
The river was smooth and warm on my paws;
I was careful about not using my claws.
We suddenly flew over a small cliff
Way up in the air my hiney did lift.
I screamed like a girl, waiting for the rebound.
We landed in rapids; someone yelled, “Touch down!”
I almost flew out then hung on for dear life.
I even had glimpses of the afterlife!
Dear God, save me, get me out of this mess
And in your church I will never more piss!
(Oh, wait, that was Lucy.)
Lucy: Riley! You promised!
Riley: Nope, that was Xena who promised not to tell on you. You just told on yourself, my friend. I’m thankful it wasn’t me! And I’m thankful I got to visit with my Auntie Jen over the weekend and sleep in the bed with her while she was here. After she left, My Person Andrew came back over to stay with me. I’m so thankful he does that. I’ll be sleeping in the bed with him until Tuesday when he has to go back home. Then Lucy will sleep with me (if she’s not mad at me, but she doesn’t know how to hold a grudge.) With my enlarged heart and all the coughing and trouble breathing, it makes me feel better to have someone sleep with me.
Well, that’s it for today. *big wags* Riley

I wish I could still jump on their bed but it’s a bit too high for me nowadays. But I can get in the “guest” bed down the hall, so Lucy stays in there with me.

Lulu: “HANG ON TIGHT, RILEY!!!”
Java Bean: “Ayyy, it’s good you have Lucy to sleep with you. I don’t like to sleep alone either, which is why I always cram myself into the bed between Mama and Dada whenever I can!”

That’s a great poem, Riley. We don’t think we’d like to go rafting at all! Having someone to snuggle with while you’re sleeping is great.

Riley – that was a FANTABULOUS poem! My Mom and I both said we would never risk our lives like that raft full of risk-takers are in that photo……it’s just too skeeeery for me to even think about. You are a grand poet and the worlds knows it (hey….is that a poem??).
Hugs, Teddy
