Chia: Hi! I’m almost thankful that I have a new little sister. She has lots of energy, just like me. This morning after playing on the big bed, we stopped to see what our Mom was doing. Turns out, she was watching what we were doing.
So on an impulse, I woofed, “Hey Mattie Girl, you wanna do today’s picture poem with me? It involves pizza.”
She looked a bit puzzled but then wagged her little tail and woofed “Yes!”
Subway Pizza by Chia (black print) and Matilda (blue print)
“Hey, Chia! Look! What’s on the floor?
I think that man just dropped his lunch!”
“A pizza feast! Oh, what a score!
Let’s hurry and gobble up a bunch!”
“He’s fast asleep, let’s take our time.
Come on, let’s grab a bite or two!”
“You take that slice, this one’s mine,
Did you just hear a cat go ‘Me-ew?”
“Don’t mind that…hey, melted cheese!
I’ve never tasted something so good!”
“Hey, slow down, Mattie! Watch your feet!
That pepperoni slice is MINE!”
“My tummy’s full, my beard’s a mess,
I’ve got some cheese stuck to my chin!”
“Mine too! But Mattie, I confess,
I’d do the whole darn thing again!”
The End
Chia: *Hi four!* We did it, Mattie. Hey, Xena, thanks for letting me and Mattie do the poem today. But now I’m hungry (for pizza). I wonder if it tastes as good as it smells when Mom gets it.
Xena: I don’t know, but you’re right, it sure does smell good! I’m thankful we get all the great food in our bowls every morning and afternoon.
Lucy: I’m thankful that Fritz is still coming over every Monday and Tuesday. He and Matilda play together, which keeps them out of my face.
Mom Amy: I’m very thankful for our new little schnauzer girl, Matilda. My other girls have finally accepted her as part of the pack and she seems more at ease around them, too. I’m taking her to the vet shortly for a check up and a whole list of other things. I have not been able to get any vet records or info on vaccs, HW, or anything else, so we’re starting from scratch. Will let y’all know what happens.
Happy Thursday to all our great friends, and thanks to Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the great picture every week!
