Lucy with Thankful Thursday Poem

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

This is Lucy back again on my birthday month, having fun with a picture by Angel Sammy And, as always I’m thankful for Angel Brian, who does such a great job at hosting Thankful Thursday. Here’s the picture for this week:

The Pool and the Cool Hound by Lucy

The game got cancelled, so what can we do?
How ’bout something different, something new?
There’s a new kiddie pool in the back yard.
So they stripped to their shorts with disregard
For children or pets who might be around.
They said, “Look! That pups laughing! What a cool hound.”

OK, so I don’t actually have “hound” in me. I’m 1/3 AmStaff, 1/3Pit Bull, and 1/3 Boxer. My Mom says that’s a really great mix, and I’m proof of it. *wags and full teeth smiles* But I’m thankful I got to do the poem again this week. And I’m thankful the snow has gone away, too.

Chia: I’m thankful Mom took us to the dog park last Friday. And she didn’t yell at me even one time to stop pulling.

You can see that there was still snow and mush on some parts of the walkway. And wow, look at Lucy’s crazy shadow! I’m thankful that dog isn’t coming after me. Hey Luce, why did you kinda hang back so much? Mom was being super nice with her soft voice on the whole walk and didn’t even try to slow me down.

Lucy: I guess cause she kept wanting me to cross in front of her instead of behind her. I was just trying to be polite. But she said I was going to knock her down with the leash pulling against the back of her legs. I felt bad I almost knocked her down, so I stayed back behind her.

Chia: Next time, Luce the Deuce, just do what she says. She had to keep gently saying, “Come on Lucy, hurry up Lucy, come on up front with us, Lucy.” Although, come to think of it, that did take the focus off me.

Xena: Yeh, Lucy, why can’t you and Chia just be perfect walking companions like me? *wags* My turn for a thankful. I am thankful that I am a perfect walking companion for my Mommy, and don’t pull on the leash or lag behind! Once in a while I stop to sniff, but that’s just my natural curiosity, and Mommy understands that.

Lucy and Chia: Phhthhhhh!

Lucy, Chia and Xena the Perfect Walking Companion wishing you a Happy and Thankful Thursday!

  8. Lucy, you were the perfect addition to this poem prompt!

    Us two always pull…though Dalton is the worst. He takes petcretary for a walk, I Benji would walk sedately beside her, if I wasn’t trying to keep up with Dalton. He has to pee at every upright blade of grass…I sometimes only stop once to do that, BOL!

  14. Good thought. But, Yes, I’ve taken each of them alone, and nothing is different with Xena or Chia. Chia, especially, always pulls hard unless I keep correcting her. To give you an idea of how hard she pulls, her nails scrape backwards on the road and get filed that way. Good thing she isn’t any bigger than she is! Lucy does do better alone, cause she’s not worried someone (Chia) is going to get in trouble. She’s such a sensitive soul.

  21. after closing reading your story, I am now pondering how Lucy, or Chia would walk, if alone with mama, have you tried that? Beau walks really well, butt I wonder if he had 2 other dogs if he would. just saying

  22. Lucy you did a really fabulous job with your poem for the photo this week! YAY FOR YOU! I think adding a pup to the picture was the RIGHT thing to do too. Pups just wanna have fun for sure. Thanks for being part of our poetic fun dear friend!
