A Dog’s Thankful Thursday: Xena’s Family Fun

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*

Gettin’ Down with Grandma by Xena

I went to the home to visit my grandma.
The desk sent me to the room that’s called Hee Haw.
My Grandma was there and she sang real good.
But why was she singing ’bout life in the hood?

Hey Grandma, I crooned, you sure actin’ Sus.
“You ain’t got a clue, girl, so you should just shush.”
Well Grandma, I see that you fixed youself up.
“Well what would you know, you just a wee pup!”

Like that back and forth we went with street slang.
Her dissin’ me while together we sang!
I howled and she belted a tune ’bout the gang,
Then finished our song when the supper bell rang.

That was a fun one this week. I wish I had known my grandma. She sure did love Angel Lexi lots and lots, and I bet she would have loved me, too. I don’t think she knew any more than I do about street gangs or “the hood,” though.

Sus: Short for “suspicious,” used when someone’s behavior seems shady.

Chia: Thanks, Xena and now it’s time for my thankful. I’m so happy brother Andrew came to see me over the weekend. It feels like furever, though, and he needs to come back. Not only that but Miss Jentry came on Sunday and fixed all the folks a Mexican dinner. I got to taste a little bit of it. I’d eat that for supper any day!
Lucy: I heard that I may get to start going back to work every Wednesday again, beginning in July.
Xena: I’m thankful that my itchies are gone. I don’t have to wear that cone on my head anymore, or those jammies on my body to cover my tummy. Thank you Jesus! (I went to church this week.)

Here’s wishing everyone a good end of the week with no fleas or seizures or ticks or thunderstorms!

XOXOXOXOX Xena, Lucy and Chia

  1. Exactly!!! We trust no one. Romance is the last thing we want. We have emotional boundaries now like the Berlin Wall. Takes years to chip away at them. lol!! I’m so glad you found a man willing to stick with you and do the hard work of rebuilding your trust. He is a treasure!!

  3. I kinda figured this wasn’t your first marriage. We tend to jump into marriage waaaaaay too fast when we’re young. I’m so glad you finally found happiness!! I’ve had my own share of bad-news men relationships. The trauma they cause changes you forever.

  4. 2 husbands and lots of experience with bad and deceptive marriages ago. We’ve been together for almost 20 years and happily married for almost 17 of them. We both wish we’d met when we were much younger.

  5. How about that!!!! What a sweet love story!!! That’s exactly what you want. A man who wants to marry you so badly he will persist for years and never give up!! How old were you when you finally said Yes?

  8. The week wasn’t bad except for missing my hubby who is with his Mom up in Fort Wayne. Looking forward to Saturday when he’s coming home. (He’s also caring for his sister’s hobby farm while she’s out of the country)

  9. What a cute poem!!! You did good!! I hope you’re all having a better week this week. I know my crew is. After major dental surgery on Wednesday, recovery on Friday, a scary fall on Saturday, and a relapse on Sunday, my cat herd is more than ready to return to peace and quiet this week. We had enough of the “not fun” excitement last week to last for the rest of the year. lol!! Looking forward to a peaceful summer. Thank you, Jesus (in advance!!).

  24. Xena: Yes, no more poison ivy! Brother Andrew and Jentry aren’t really company…they’re family!! Chia gets so excited when they walk through the door that she pisses herself.
    Chia: Shut up, Xena.

  27. As Gran twirled around, and her skirt swung up high,

    and a tiny tattoo I could see on her thigh ..

    Oh Granny I winked, oh Granny I crooned …

    just don’t show all those boys your moon!
