Xena’s Thankful Poetic Thursday

Xena: We’re finally back with a working ‘puter. And we’re not letting Mommy set her coffee cup anywhere near her ‘puter anymore! As always, we give our thanks to Angel Brian who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the fun picture every week.  I saw all that yummy milk and hopped right in to help lick it up.

Don’t Cry over Spilled Milk by Xena

Janie had just gotten her milk from the table
When she tripped o’er her own feet and wasn’t able
To keep it from spilling all over the floor.
That was the last of it, there was not any more.

Janie, Liz, Dell and Belle all began to cry;
The cats rubbed her legs and meowed loud and high.
Her schnauzer said, Stop! Let’s clean the floor
Don’t cry over spilt milk, there will always be more.

Now it’s time for thankfuls. I’m thankful I get to cuddle up under the covers with my Mommy every night. Sometimes I get too hot and crawl out from under blankets. Then, when I get cold and start to shiver, it wakes Mommy up and she pulls me close under the blankets and holds me until we fall asleep again.

Lucy: Since I don’t sleep under the covers, I’m thankful that Mom puts my sweater on me to keep me warm at the foot of the bed. Although I often creep up along her leg to touch her and Dad while I sleep

Chia: Seems like we’ve got a theme going on here. OK, so I’m thankful that I’m the best cover diver in the house and sleep anywhere I can get to under the covers. Lots of times, though, it’s right in between Dad and Mom’s legs.

That’s it for today. Have a good end of the week and weekend and we’ll see all y’all soon!

  2. Chaplin: “Yep, coffee and computers don’t mix. Dennis used to tell us the story of how Mama’s laptop kept overheating and when Dada took it apart he found it was full of coffee around the fan. Not because Mama spilled her coffee, but because she left it unattended next to her computer and Tucker would go and drink from the mug, and he was a sloppy drinker!”

  3. Oh my, what a mess!!!!! Of course lapping up a lake of milk is a cat’s dream come true. (Are you sure one of the cats didn’t cause the fall? You know how they love to block the path and trip someone just for fun. lol!!!) So happy to hear everything is clean, liquid-free, and back to normal now. Love your cozy poem!!! (I say this as I’m burrowed underneath 6 warm blankets on my bed…NOT a fan of cold weather!! 🥶)

  4. Xena: Sometimes I get “stubborn” cause I’m already cozy on the extra pillow on the couch and won’t come to bed. When Mommy doesn’t insist I come to bed with her by carrying me into the bedroom, I get cold during the night and go to the bedroom door to be let in. Then Mommy gets up and lets me in and we cuddle like she tried to do before she went to bed. *sigh* It’s hard when Mommy’s usually right.

  6. I can add to your list of thankfuls. you can be thankful you live with your mom and dad because if you lived with me, you would not be in my bed. we had Max in bed for 16 years and it drove me c crazy because I am a light sleeper and find it difficult to go back to sleep if anyone touches me, that includes bob, and that is why we have a dual KING bed. you are blessed to have a bed at your disposal.
