Thankful Poetic Thursday by Xena

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Good morning! Chia’s still asleep so I’m doing our post today. If she wants to keep this birthday month of blogging to herself, she’d better get up earlier! Thanks to Angel Brian for hosting Thankful Thursday as well as Angel Sammy for the fun pictures every week. Here’s his picture and my haiku poem for this week.

There’s scooters for all ages
But none for a dog.
I don’t want one anyhow.

That’s my first haiku. Whatcha think?

I have to tell y’all about what’s going on in my Freestyle world that I think I’m happy about. Mommy took me and Chia a coupla weeks ago to practice, just the 3 of us. It was supposed to be Chia’s turn to learn a dance routine and go get her first title this November. Mommy wanted Chia to watch and learn from me, since she imitates me a lot. So I got to dance around the floor first with my Mommy, then I had to go in the kennel while Chia went out and tried it. I quickly discovered the kennel door wasn’t latched, so I ran out and joined the fun. Instead of stopping, Mommy kept going with both of us. Sometimes me and Chia danced right next to each other and sometimes we danced with Mommy between us. Mommy was so thrilled with what we did that we went back last Friday and met Miss Julia there so she could watch us and help with suggestions. BTW (that means By The Way), one person dancing with two dogs is called a Brace. Miss Julia videoed it. Mommy says please remember, this is only the second time we’ve done this, and we’re just “piddling around” out on the floor. Chia’s still got a lot to learn.

I didn’t think I was going to get to do Freestyle again this year, but I don’t mind sharing a performance with the long dog as long as I get to dance, too. Besides, I’m a lot more experienced and confident and can kinda push her around out there teach her things. So that’s my thankful for today. Oops, she’s waking up. I’d better hit “publish” now. Have a great rest of the week and do what you love!

  9. Lulu: “You follow your mom very well out there! So attentive!”
    Java Bean: “Ayyy, I also like to run out and get involved when Mama and Dada try to do a little dancing in the living room or wherever!”
    Lulu: “Do you really dance, though? Because it looks like you mostly just run out and hop up and down and put your paws up on Mama.”
    Java Bean: “Sí, that is just what I said! Dancing!”
