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.
Xena: Since I didn’t want to deal with a mess of baby pandas, I asked Lucy to do the poem this week. This is right up her alley!
Lucy: Thanks, Xena. And she’s right; I love babies of any kind. So let’s get this poem going!

Panda Sitting
I started sitting baby pandas
And next thing that I knew
I was planning a New Years party
For baby pandas in the zoo.
They were so excited
With the treats and toys and fun
I had to watch them closely
That no one took off at a run.
They rolled around and giggled
And said I was their new Mom.
I couldn’t be more happy;
I love each and every one!
Thankfuls!
Xena: I’m thankful that my Mommy is finally starting to feel better from that nasty flu that I hope flew away and isn’t scaring me with her hacking and coughing and blowing.
Chia: I’m thankful I could be Mom’s therapy dog while she was sick. I stayed with her and cuddled her and I think I heard her say I’m her new favorite dog.
Xena: No! I don’t believe you. You should be thankful I don’t bite off your tail for saying that!
Chia: *grrrr*
Lucy: Stop. Mom loves us all. And we’re all her favorite pups. Now be thankful I don’t lay on you.
Xena (Mommy’s favorite), Chia (Mom’s favorite) and Lucy: We wish you a very happy and healthy New Year!
Very Nice Lucy and OMDs was I sorry to read your Mom and Dad have the horrible crud that is raging all around.
Healing hugs
Cecilia
