Xena’s Poem on Thankful Thursday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Xena:  I’m thankful for Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the picture every week. Let’s see what Angel Sammy has in store for us today. Oh, and you’ll notice I hopped into the picture! *wags*

The Guest by Xena

You brought home a guest without asking me?
Just how stupid can you possibly be?
The sand’s not been raked, a bed not been made.
Nor the pool cleaned out, in which she would bathe.

I’m sorry, sweetheart, her Air B&B cancelled.
I saw her there, all lost and dismantled.
Let’s get known for our hospitality;
I’ll help you get ready so she is happy.

Then we can offer our home for a profit.
Where more can come and pay out-of-pocket.
We won’t charge her, she’ll give great reviews!
It’ll cover the cost for our ocean front views!!

The End

Chia: You’ve been listening to Mom and Dad trying to plan their September vacation, haven’t you Xeboo?
Xena: I’ve told you to stop calling me that? *sigh* Yes, I have, and we’re not going to get to go with them.
Chia: With any luck, brother Adam and my Jentry will stay with us!!
Xena: I was asked to go on vacation with our folks, but I might get really afraid way up high on an airplane, so I’ll stay here.
*pause*
Chia: Liar! Hey, wanna play?
Lucy: Well, I guess I’ll be doing the thankfuls this week. First, I’m thankful that Chia’s been on some herbals to help her settle down a bit and stop attacking me. I think she might be playing at first, but then she gets all stiff and serious. I hate to have to put her on her back to make her stop.
I’m also thankful that all the bad storms with all that awful thunder has stopped. And I’m thankful I get to sleep in the big bed with my folks and sisters. I’m really thankful for the new family that moved in next door with all the kids who love me and let me lick in their ears. More about that another time. *big wags*

Xena: *while running after Chia* Thanks for joining us and we’ll see ya next time.

  2. Lulu: “There has been lots of crazy scary thunder and big winds back East! I would be hiding under Dada’s desk the whole time.”
    Java Bean: “Ayyy, I don’t understand why a human wouldn’t want their ears licked. Well, to each their own I guess. Charlee shoves her whole nose into Dada’s ear a lot of the time and he seems to like it just fine.”
    Charlee: “Yes, but I’m a cat, so it’s extra special when I do things like that.”

  12. That is wonderful!! Thanks for the info. I’m going to check it out on Amazon. I’ve got to go to PetSmart on Saturday. I’ll see if mine has it. Love the fact that it works so well. Does it irritate her intestinal tract?

  14. Pet Honesty Hemp Calming
    I think Amazon carries it too for the same price. You could get on Amazon and see what all is in it. After a couple of weeks of it with breakfast and supper Chia got a bit too sedate. So I’ve cut back now to once a day. I can see where it helps her control herself better.

  16. How interesting!!! I have bought the PetSmart chews for cats for several different issues like immune system boost, l-lysine, skin issues, etc. Some are really good!!

    I sure hope your herbs work Chia….it took me a long time to be able to play with Rosy without getting mad at her(for no reason).

  21. Lucy: Mom and Dad are going away overnight some weekend this month and our 15 year old neighbor Claire is going to come over and take care of us…you know, feed us, let us out, love on us. I don’t think she likes her ear licked…maybe she’ll bring her little brother Thomas who loves it!

  23. What an adorable post!!! I love all your conversations. And Chia is on herbals to calm her? My fav for that is liquid (non alcoholic) valerian I get at Vitamin Shoppe. A few drops in the water or on food does the trick. Smells horrible (as you know), but fortunately cats think it smells like chocolate and they love it. I have tried some CBD crunchy cat treats at my local CBD store. It didn’t seem to have any effect on them at all. I also got some CBD drops a few months ago for agitated pets but haven’t tried that yet. One of my special needs cats gets manic sometimes so these remedies are for her. What kind of herbal remedy did you give Chia?

  24. GREAT JOB on the poem!!!! Love it! Also, want you to know you guys aren’t the only ones being left behind when the humans take a vacation. It happens to me every October when Mom and Dad leave me at Paws A While hotel for their vacation, and I’m spoiled rotten and have a great time TOO (but don’t tell them I said that).

    Hugs, Teddy
