Chia’s Poetry and Thankfuls on Her Birthday Month

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Chia: It’s still my birthday month and I’m trying to make the most of it, with Xena’s blessing. She just turned 8, so she must be getting soft in her old age.
Xena: Hey! Watch it or I might revoke your blogging privileges Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going back to bed for my nap.
Chia: *whispering* See what I mean? Anyhoo, I’m thankful for Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the picture every week! Last week I said I bet I get to do the poem again this week, and I was right! (I think Mom had a bit of influence on the decision too. I saw Xe get an extra treat.) Here’s the picture and my poem!

Almost a Baboon by Chia

She’s made good progress painting our Dad’s face.
There’s red and black squiggles all over the place.
Now if she just adds some eye makeup too,
He’ll look like a baboon who belongs in the zoo.

The end

Chia: Thankfuls, hmmm. I’m thankful I don’t have to get a full table groom every month like Xena does. I would be tons thankful if I didn’t have to get my nails dremmeled every coupla months! Let’s see. Oh, I’m thankful that we had hardly any fireworks last Friday. They don’t bother me, but I get tired of seeing my sisters shake. It’s a bit disconcerting. Mom asked me why I don’t try to comfort them like I do her when she’s upset, and I just don’t have an answer for that. Oh yes, and I’m thankful to all of you wishing me a happy 5th birthday!! It’s really cool to have so many on-line friends. Also, Miss Jentry came over last Sunday, I think to wish me a belated happy birthday. And she celebrated her son Connor’s 21st birthday while she was here. He’s moved in with us and is settling in the downstairs “in-law” suite. I’ve heard that Connor and his Mom lived here for a coupla years back when Conor was like 8 and 9 years old. He knew Angel Lexi and Angel Riley. Angel Riley used to sleep in bed with him

Connor and Riley

Lucy: I’m also really thankful there were only a few fireworks! And that I’m back visiting with all my Al-Anon friends at work.
Chia: Oh yeah, I heard the folks are going away tomorrow and Saturday nights to 2 big dances in Knoxville, a couple of hours from here. And that Miss Clare from next door and her little brothers and sister are going to take care of us. Woo hoo! *great big wags* We have fun with them and I’m extra good when they take me for walks. Her sister is kinda small and I don’t want to pull her down the road. (Mom’s thinking about hiring them to walk me at least a few days every week…that would be a great late birthday present!)

Guess that’s it for now, friends. Hope everyone is doing great and doing what you love to do!

  4. Lulu: “Happy continuing birthday month, Chia!”
    Java Bean: “Ayyy, do you think the new residents of the in-law suite will have you down as a guest to sleep in bed with them like Angel Riley did? It is nice to sleep with humans, it’s the safest bed in the house if you ask me!”
    Charlee: “We hope your mom and dad have a fun and safe trip!”

  8. MOL! Your poem was funny!

    We are glad the fireworks weren’t too bad where you are. There were tons here for the whole weekend, but they don’t bother us, thankfully.
