Hi folks! *wiggles all over* It’s me, Chia!!! Wow, I had some fun with this picture that Angel Sammy sent us. Oh yeah, that reminds me. Thanks to Angel Brian for hosting Thankful Thursday as well as Angel Sammy for the fun pictures every week. Xena sort of got in on the action, as you will see. Here goes!

Who’s My Dad by Chia
My Mom and Dad went out on a date;
I think it mighta been somethin’ they ate,
But when they returned
I was very concerned.
Were their bodies switched? What makes this their new state?
Mom’s got all the stuff and Dad’s walking so oddly.
Xe’s going with it. I think it’s ungodly.
Maybe it’s witchcraft!
If so, then I think that
We call the priest to end all this folly!
Chia: Wow, I’m thankful MY Mom and Dad haven’t switch bodies. And I’m thankful for getting to go on our family walks every morning with MY Mom and Dad. We go real early before it gets hot.
Xena: First I want you to know that I absolutely would be able to tell if something like that happened to our folks. My Mommy would still pick me up and love on me, and carry me in to bed to sleep with her even if she was in another body, cause she’d still be my Mommy!
I’m thankful she’s still her, though! I’m also thankful for the yummy ground beef we got at several meals this week. And the avocadoes. And the strawberries. And..well, all the good food we get.
Lucy: I’m thankful Mom hasn’t sent me to dirt-a-holics anonymous yet. First, I rolled in it all the time. Now, I can’t seem to stop eating it. She’s threatened to buy a basket muzzle to put on me when I go outside. She did google what causes pups to do that and there were so many things that can cause dogs to eat dirt that it almost made her dizzy. The first one she’s trying is feeding me more of my regular food. I can get behind that! (Or in front of it, as the case may be.)
Oh, yes, I’m also thankful Mom’s still taking me to work with her on Thursdays. (She wipes my mouth off before we get in the car.) I’m being very, very good, too! (There’s no dirt to eat there, but that’s not really what I meant about being good.)
Chia: Ok, Lucy Deucy, we’re gonna call it a day. Everyone have a great Thankful Thursday!
Excellent poem

Chia: Thanks!!!!
Miss Amy: I can’t be positive, dear friends, but she and Xena and Chia had full blood panels done this past spring (April, I think) and all was purrfect. It could also be worms or lots of other things. You should google it and see the long, long list, and it would take at least $1000 to follow up on it all! Yikes! Just going to hope it’s a passing thing for right now – and feed her more – and see how long she keeps doing it.
Lucy: *hangs head* I’m sorry….

Lucy: I just had a complete bloodwork thingie done a little earlier this year and everything was good so I don’t think it’s anything I’m missing in my diet. I guess I’m just a dirt-a-holic… 😦

If I only could get the fridge and cupboards open… but then I’d be a bad girl. Except for being a dirtaholic, I always comply by the rules. Lucy

Good job being poetic this week you all! As for eating dirt – I’m pretty certain that there are much better snacks for you dear Lucy than dirt. Just check the refrigerator and cabinets and I’m SURE something yummier than dirt is waiting for you to “taste test” !!
Hugs, Teddy

You did such a good job with your poem. Well done, Chia. Wait, good dog Lucy’s eating dirt? Oh my-you’d better go back to rolling in it-it has less calories. 😇 We look forward to hearing about Lucy’s next visit at the church. I’m sure she’ll make everyone smile.
