Lucy: I’m thankful for Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the fun picture every week. This week I’m also thankful that my little sister, Xena, handed over the controls to me to do the Thursday picture poem. As a thank you, I’ve included her in my poem!

When Pigs Dance by Lucy

I saw these baby piglets
And how my heart did swell
I knew the could be dancers;
That they could do it well.

My Mom got them their outfits,
My sis Xena taught them moves.
I gave them lots of loving
And moisturized their hooves.

Their very first performance
Took the audience by storm.
The crowd threw fruit and petals
So again they would perform.

In time they got much bigger,
And did not want to dance.
They moved out to a pig farm
Where they soon found romance.

Now they have their own piglets,
As cute as they can be.
Maybe some day they’ll learn to dance
And come to visit me.

I’m thankful I get to go to work with Mom regularly now. I was so happy to see Pastor today that I was jumping up and doing twists in the air. I got a new yummy treat from Thomas the Mailman. I was excited and started to walk away, but remembered to go back over to his truck to thank him. He liked that. And Mom brought my cookies, too. I got rewarded with one every time I went outside to go potty. That helped me realize that I had to go potty a lot!

Xena: Like Lucy, I’m thankful that I’ve been going to work with Mommy a lot more. And I’m even more thankful that she’s not making me wear those horrid “Big Girl Panties” at work. Oh, and I’m thankful that the weather has been getting warmer during the day, like in the 60’s F.

Chia: I’m thankful that I’ve had a few more walks around the neighborhood because of the nicer weather. (Mom’s a lightweight when it comes to walking in cold and wind. She says she doesn’t want to get sick.) And I’m thankful that Mom took me and Xeboo to practice our Freestyle last Sunday. I heard we’re going again this Sunday too! Woohoo!

With *wags & wiggles & hops* Lucy, Xeboo, er, Xena, and Chia

  19. Lucy! What a GREAT poem you wrote! We love it……the piggies are so adorable I asked Mom if we could get one for me to have as a playmate but she didn’t think it would be a good idea! Darn! Anyway, I’m glad you are now your Mom’s regular work partner – I know you have fun don’t you. Xena I’m sure you’re happy not to have to wear those big girl panties anymore. Sometimes we have to learn stuff the hard way. Sending all of you big huggies.

    Love, Teddy
