Lucy’s Thankful Thursday and Poetry

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Lucy: I’m thankful for Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the fun picture every week. I hope no one is upset that I added one little detail to the picture – do you see it? Now for my poem.

Double Jeopardy by Lucy

The workers drove a jeep of blue,
Climbing the cliffs of Timbuktu.
To build a house upon the top
Despite the precarious drop.

Then suddenly there did appear
A huge creature with lots of hair,
Blocking the path they must traverse;
They feared returning in a hearse.

Slowly they did back away
While hoping Sasquatch there would stay.
‘T’was not a place a home to build
Unless you were in a Big Foot guild!

Wow, I sure hope my Mom and Dad never decide to do something like that. I’ll have to say, “Just leave me here!”

Chia: I was very sad when Miss Jentry went home on Sunday evening. I curled up in bed with Bro Andrew and cried for a while. But I’m thankful she’s coming back this Sunday…maybe even sooner!

Xena: I’m thankful that our twice a year vet visit to have blood drawn for our DNA heartworm test is done. I don’t like going to the vet. I hide under the chair.
Chia: Hey Xeboo, didn’t you hear what happened? Mom set the vials of blood with the cold pack on top of the car before she helped us back into the car, then she drove away. She didn’t realize what she’d done until we got to FedEx and she couldn’t find the blood they stole from us. Dad’s taking us back again today for “another stick.”
Xena: Noooo!! *shaking and hiding under the kitchen chair*

Lucy: I hope all our friends have a good Thursday and no one tries to steal your blood.

  6. Charlee: “I’m right there with you, Xena. I try to hide under the sofa when Mama and Dada are looking to take me to the vet. I can always tell!”
    Chaplin: “Yes you can! And that’s why after breakfast they lock you in the office now on vet days, so you can’t escape.”
    Charlee: “Shut up.”

  10. I don’t know, the pistol may be the worst… and our 2nd sticking has gotten postponed until next month cause of everyone here getting sick and because of the holidays and FedEx delays (with blood). So, no reprieve, just a little longer to worry about it. XOX Xena

  16. You’re right, Teddy. And she had already locked herself out of her car that morning and had to call AAA to get back in where the keys sat on the passenger seat. She found out yesterday that she has the flu or something and that explains why her brain isn’t in good working order. Poor Mommy. XOX Xena

  20. Lucy!!! What a fantastic poem you wrote for that SKEEEERY photo! It’s perfect – totally including the Sasquatch monster waiting on the corner…..AND as for your Mom leaving your very own blood on top of the car and driving off – well – you know what? Humans are not QUITE as perfect as we wish they would be sometimes but they love us and probably feel AWFUL when they do something like that so forgive and forget. After all – they feed us!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

    Huggies, Teddy
