Xena Goes to Work

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

It was Thursday morning – the morning Lucy has started going to help Mommy at work every week – and Lucy refused to go. Mommy quoted an old song, saying, “It musta been something you I said.”*

Anyhoo, after I saw Lucy heading back to bed, I was halfway down the stairs even before Mommy decided I could go with her. I think my enthusiasm helped! I’m sure that Chia already knew there was no way in doggie purgatory that Mommy was going to take her!

Here I am enjoying lounging in a sun puddle.

Do you see the halo around my head? It must be ’cause I was in a church, right?

I greeted Pastor with soft woofs and big wag, and he was happy to see me, too. He pet me and said he had missed me. Then Thomas the Mailman came. Mommy opened the door so I could run to where he parked the truck in the parking lot right in front of the sidewalk to the church door you see in the picture. Mommy yelled, “Don’t step on Xena.” (One time he almost fell trying not to step down on me cause he hadn’t seen me up on the step to his mail truck!) Mister Thomas likes me and is always glad to see me and gives me a treat! He didn’t step on me.

After having a big day of running back and forth to Pastor’s office and checking everything out to be sure nothing had changed, I was pretty tired. As you’ve probably seen in the past I do love to sleep in this chair. I was just waking up when Mommy took my picture.

I think maybe I’ve paid my penance for being a naughty girl at the church and I’ll be allowed to go back again. Besides, I did a good poopie on our walk at o’dark-thirty this morning before we headed to work. I’ll see y’all again soon, when I’m not at work. *wags* from a happy schnauzerina

*The song is “I Died in Your Arms Tonight” by Cutting Crew.

  4. It sounded purrrfect to us, BellaDharma. We’re just glad our Mom isn’t trying to sing it. When our brother Andrew was 4 years old, Mommy was singing to him (or so the story goes) and he said, “Please don’t sing anymore, Mommy.”
    Thank you for giving us all the words too. It is a sad song. XOX Xena

  6. “Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
    It must have been something you said
    I just died in your arms tonight

    I keep lookin’ for somethin’ I can’t get
    Broken hearts lie all around me
    And I don’t see an easy way to get out of this
    Her diary, it sits by the bedside table
    The curtains are closed, the cats in the cradle
    Who would’ve thought that a boy like me could come to this

    Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
    It must’ve been something you said
    I just died in your arms tonight
    Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
    It must’ve been some kind of kiss
    I should’ve walked away
    I should’ve walked away

    Is there any just cause for feelin’ like this?
    On the surface, I’m a name on a list
    I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
    I’ve lost and found, it’s my final mistake
    She’s loving by proxy, no give and all take
    ‘Cause I’ve been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

    Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
    It must’ve been something you said
    I just died in your arms tonight
    Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
    It must’ve been some kind of kiss
    I should’ve walked away
    I should’ve walked away

    It was a long hot night
    She made it easy, she made it feel right
    But now it’s over, the moment has gone
    I followed my hands not my head, I know I was wrong

    Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
    It must’ve been something you said
    I just died in your arms tonight
    I, I just died in your arms tonight
    It must’ve been some kind of kiss
    I should’ve walked away
    I should’ve walked away….”

  11. Lucy’s ok, Miss Monika. Mommy spoke firmly to Chia to try to get her to stop pulling on her leash on the EMW, so Lucy got scared of Mommy. But she was fine when we got home from work. XOX Xena
