It’s been a long time in earth years since I’ve hopped into my blog. But time moves differently where I am. I know it’s been ages since I’ve therapized at the children’s hospital or was Toto in a play or, well, any of the important things I used to do there. 8 years, 5 months and 10 days to be exact, but it seems like just yesterday. I’ve watched as finally, this year, Mom’s been able to tell people, without crying, about all the wonderful things I did. And now I’ve been called on to write a poem. Here’s why. 1. We were at my Auntie Jens and had just gone to bed. The bedroom had what I now know was a closet with full length mirrors on the outside. I couldn’t stop staring at the “other schnauzer” across the room! and 2. When I went on walks with Riley and he lifted his leg, I always walked under the stream.
OK, come on, let’s do this.

The Other Me by Lexi the Schnauzer
Hey you there, you baby boy,
Are you here to steal my toy?
Or play a game? It seems a shame
That silly dog we can’t annoy.
Let’s make a plan, just you and me,
To see how naughty we can be
And chase her from our room tonight.
Hey let us both on her hair pee!
I’ll hit her with my super power,
But first I have to drop my trouser.
Why is she walking close to me?
Oh no! She likes a golden shower.
Xena: Thank you, Angel Lexi, my mentor and my friend. I’m so very thankful that you sent our Mommy way down into southern Georgia to adopt me. We do some of the same things you used to do together, and it’s a lot of fun. She’s my Mommy and I’m her baby girl.
Chia: Well, if that’s the route we’re going, I’m thankful that Andrew brought me here and stuck me in a grooming kennel and Dad heard me crying and Mom found me and fixed up the nice kennel upstairs that I still love to lay in. And that Dad wouldn’t let me go when Mom found me a new home and that Mom finally fell in love with me and won’t let me go either.
Lucy: OK, so I’m thankful that Mom brought me to my furever home. My first year of life I lived with a mean man. I’m thankful that no one has ever, no, not ever, been mean to me here in my furever home. Now my name is Lucy and I smile a lot and people say, “Awww, I love you, Lucy.”
Angel Lexi: My work here is done, at least for now. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I’m gonna go back and hang out with Spike, my unicorn friend.
Oh, and thanks so much to my angel friend, Brian, for continuing to host Thankful Thursdays every week.
Xena: I’ll be sure that Lexi gives Dennis the message that y’all miss him.
Lucy: I hope not. I’m still a bit afraid someone, someday, might be mean to me, though.

We send you a lot of hugs on a special cloud – we know your family and all of your friends miss you but we also know that you and all the Angels are still “here” keeping a watch over us!
