Xena the Sitter on Thankful Thursday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

A BIG thanks to Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the great picture every week! Did I mention that this is my birthday month? That’s why I’m getting to do all the poems in June! Here we go!

What Do I Do?? by Xena the sitter

I, the schnauzer, was left to care for these twins.
Their folks shut the door, and thus it begins.
I ran to their toy box and brought them some toys.
But nothing I did could please these wee boys.

I thought, hey, a cartoon! That’s just the ticket.
But which one to watch, that’s the sticky wicket.
I scrolled and I thought, I really should know…
And then I found it! The Ren & Stimpy Show.

Joshie got scared at some of the violent stunts,
But Johnny just laughed when Ren died all at once.
I finally jumped down and laid in their laps.
That’s all they needed to drift into their naps.

Next time the folks are going out on the town.
Don’t look for the schnauzer, I won’t be around!

The End

Xena: Just so y’all know, I wouldn’t really babysit. Angel Riley absolutely loved toddlers and little kids, but they scare me. I’m thankful that we don’t have any in our house.

Chia: I’m thankful that Mom’s been taking me on some car rides. I just wish I got to go to the church, too. I want to meet Jesus.
Xena: You don’t meet Jesus at church, you just…
Lucy: Give it up. Xena, Chia doesn’t understand.
Chia: You two just want Him all for yourselves!
The Mom (interceding): Chia, every time someone is kind to you, you’ve met Jesus. His Spirit lives in all of us, we just have to show it to others in our actions and our words.
Chia: Uh, can I still go to work with you?
The Mom: I’ll let you know when you can go.

Lucy: I’m thankful that Mom sent some of my spit and fur to Glacier Peak Holistics. We got the results of my Pet Intolerance Test, and now we know at least some of the stuff that was wrong with me. Among other things, I’m allergic to beef, and “sensitive” to lamb and pork. I’m also allergic to cod, mussels, salmon, shellfish and trout. I’m allergic to mushrooms and potatoes and sensitive to sweet potatoes, tomatoes, amnd turnips. There’s a few more, but those are the main ones. Oh, I can’t have any more nectarines, either. I have a few “environmental” allergies too. I’ve had to stop taking four of my supplements because of my allergies. This week I’ve experinced a big change in my diet. I’ve been getting raw chicken, some with the bone in it, and chicken liver. This week Mom’s gonna look for some bison and goat for me to eat, too. Thankfully, I can still eat the turkey Ollie’s food.

Chia: That reminds me, I’m thankful that I’ll get to eat all the Ollie’s beef and pork packets that Xena can’t eat and you can’t eat anymore. 😄(They don’t make smiley faces for dogs.)

We all are ready for our nap now, so have a good rest of the week, and eat everything you can while you can! XOXOX Lucy, Xena and Chia

  2. OK, Miss BellaDharma. I promise I will. XOXOX Chia
    Uh, I think so, BellaDharma. I eat so fast I barely taste my food. I guess Mom could put just about anuthing in my dish and I’d eat it, BOL! *wags* Lucy. (Speaking of food, I think it’s almost suppertime!)

  7. Hi Miss BellaDharma! Mom just got some duck dog food in from a place called We Feed Raw. I can’t wait to eat it!
    Xena said I don’t want to meet Jesus yet. I will have to wait until I cross the Bridge and am with Lexi. I’m still gonna keep watchin’ for him though. Maybe he’ll come visit and I can sit in his lap! XOXOX Chia

  13. What an outstanding job on the poem, Xena. How exciting you get to do them during your birthday month-it’s another way to stretch out the celebration.

    Oh Lucy, so sorry you have allergies to many of the things that you previously relied on for nutrition. But knowledge is power and now you know what triggers you. Hopefully you mum can find some bison or goat to replace the beef. Good luck.

    We hope everyone eventually gets a chance to go with Mom to work.

  15. Well, since Mom explained that to me, I didn’t run off when my collar came off outside! Mom was really happy and I got a treat, too! I guess it pays to be a good girl. XOXOXO Chia

  17. We’re all so very happy that you like our poems so much. Mommy has raised us “in the faith,” just like she did Angel Lexi. Hey, it’s just that do unto others thing, right? *paw hugs* Xena

  19. Great job Xena!!! I’m with you tho, toddlers can be pretty scary! xoxo, Rosy

    We are glad your Mom is helping you figure out what you can eat Lucy, that way you’ll feel fantabulous instead of feeling sicky.

    We know one day you’ll get to go to church Chia…but we’re with your Mom and am pretty sure you’ve met Jesus already!

    xoxo, Rosy & Sunny

  20. The poem: excellent. Babies, we kinda sorta miss having them around, not sure June agrees with that, like you Xena. As for all that food eating stuff … mine Mommy says, at her age she figures she’ll eat whatever she wants, good/bad/in-between, it just doesn’t matter anymore. If it tastes good, dadgummit, she’s going to enjoy it!

  21. Well now friends – that was an epically epic poem……LOVED IT!!! You “nailed it” (not with real nails of course…..Mom says that’s a figure of speech whatever THAT is). Interesting about the food allergies – lots of stuff in eliminated as NONO and some of the stuff that’s OK is stuff I’ve never heard of because I’m a cat. Anyway, it is VERY TRUE that Jesus isn’t just in a church – he’s EVERYWHERE so Mom reminds me that I need to be a good boy so He knows I take good care of Mom and Dad. I always know that your poem will be SPECIAL – really and truly!

    Love, Teddy (with a little help from Mom)
