Lucy’s Post-Breakfast Awww Monday

Thanks to  Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Mondays!

Lucy: Sorry Mom is so late in doing my Awww Monday picture. I hope it’s still ok to send it to you, even though this is Tuesday. Xena’s saying it’s ok, so here it is.

I had a yummy breakfast, then I decided to curl up in the bedroom chair instead of on the bed. I’ve got my very own pillow here! Xena also suggested I tell you that no, I’m not sad. This is just how I look. Maybe next time I’ll smile for the camera, like I do when I greet people at the church.

Have a Happy Tuesday! Lucy

Hi Friends! *smile and wags* I hope you like my picture. Mom wanted me to tell you that I’m not sad or anything, this is just how I usually look. Unless I’m smiling, of course.

I hope everyone’s week is starting off right. Mine sure is! The vet called Mom with the results of all the tests they did: a CBC, urinalysis, poop, er, fecal, and occult HW test. At 11 years old, I’m completely, perfectly healthy. Even my joints are those of a younger dog! Now maybe Mom will understand that I’m just hungry and feed me more! Your friend, Lucy

Chia’s Babushka Awww Monday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia24 Comments

Chia: Miss Marie Cris is so sweet to me, and she takes me for walks. So, I couldn’t say no when she wanted to turn my neck scarf into a head scarf. Then she took the picture. I think I’m pretty cute like this, right? Xeboo, stop laughing at me!
Xena: Don’t call…
Chia: Yeah, yeah, I know. So here is my awww-worthy Monday picture. *big whole body wags*

Miss Marie Cris left early yesterday with our other friend, Miss Kim. They went home to the Philipines, and next week Miss Marie Cris is flying to Brazil for her studies. Maybe they’ll come back soon…

Gracy’s Crazy Mixed Up Weekend

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia32 Comments

Thanks to  Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Mondays! 

Gracie: Hi *wags*. I got abandoned with Miss Amy and Mr. Jeff again. My folks went to Puerto Rico for my Dad’s business and for my Mom to visit with her sisters and cousins. I could have visited too, but here I am with a schnauzer who starts out my visit with, “Grrr, I’m in charge here, got it?” I nodded my head yes and we’re all good now. I do like my Aunt Amy and Uncle Jeff. I don’t think they’re actually related, but it makes me feel better to pretend they are. And Xena said I could do the Awww Monday today on her blog. Thanks, Xena!

Anyhow, right after my folks abandoned me – like the same day – Aunt Amy and Uncle Jeff abandoned me too! The neighbor girl, Clare, came and took care of us. Lucy and Xena and Chia went crazy over her, so I figured she must be OK. Her little sister, Lucia, carried me all around with her and I ended up in her house. Then Lucia took me for a walk and I pulled too hard and she lost the leash. I stood still until she was able to pick it up. I didn’t want her to get into any trouble. All her little girl friends held me and pet me, too. I enjoy kids, so I actually had a great weekend while my original sitters were away at some crazy Oktoberfest.

Now they’re back and I miss my kids. Oh wait! Here comes Miss Clare and I see my leash. Gotta go!! (Thanks Xena for letting me do your blog today.)

Queen of the Couch Pillow Awww Monday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia18 Comments

Thanks to  Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Mondays! 

This couch pillow is near the top of the list of places that me and Xeboo (I know, I know, Xena, don’t call you Xeboo) vie for. Even Lucy tries to take this one over! And sometimes it’s a hard decision whether to get in Dad’s lap, lay next to Mom, or grab this favored spot in the living room. But today, I’m Queen of the Couch Pillow!

Your best friend, Chia!

Mom Amy: Chia came to us at seven months old and has been with us for a little over four years. I’ve never had a dumb dog, and I truly believe that Chia is only rivaled by Angel Lexi for being the smartest. We have to be careful to not allow her in situations where she can run off, which unfortunately restricts her from doing some things the other dogs get to do . But one thing I know for sure…her big heart overflows with love and caring (even though she shows it in strange and annoying ways to Lucy!). We wouldn’t trade her for anything!

Xena Living in the Light on Awww Monday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia20 Comments

Hey there folks. While I know Angel Sammy is our poet laureate as well as the provider of such fun and funny pictures, I thought I’d make my own picture today and do a poem for it. If anyone wants to write me a poem in the comments, I’ll make sure Mommy reads it to me.

Living In the Light by Xena
I’m a church dog again
And I love to go in
To greet all the church folks
Who oft give me sweet strokes.

I sit in the bright sun;
Reminds me of G-d’s Son.
I feel warm and cared for
Right here by the front door.

The end.

Awww Monday with Xena and the Pack

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia28 Comments

Xena: First a big thanks to  Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Mondays!

Chia: Do you hear what I hear?
Lucy: I’m listening. I think I hear it.

Xena: Look at the camera! Mommy’s taking our picture.

Lucy: Where do you think that noise came from? Was it a squirrel?
Chia: Maybe from in the house?

Xena: You two just can’t focus, can you.
Chia: Be quiet, Xena, we’re trying to focus.

Chia’s Awww Monday without Lucy

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia35 Comments

Hey folks. Feelin’ kind of sad. Lucy left. She went on a long drive in the car with Dad to our Grandma’s. She left real early yesterday, and I thought she’d be home by now.

Me and Xena, we’ve been playing, and Mom’s been working with me some on Freestyle and on walking nice, like not pulling on the leash, outside with her. I’ve been getting lots of treat cheese. But it’s just not the same without Lucy, ya know?

It’s like there’s something wrong with this picture.

Guess I’ll hang out on the couch with Riley for a while. Even though he has my pillow. And I’m in Lucy’s spot. But at least our butts are touching. Maybe she’ll be home tomorrow…

Xena Went to the Chiro on Awww Monday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia31 Comments

So Mom found a new chiropractor and he works on dogs. He was even interviewed on TV once about it!

Of course, she hauled me in there. She said it wouldn’t hurt and that he would talk my ears off. Note to self: hang onto my ears.

And then I had to wait and wait and wait. I could hear him talking someone else’s ears off.

Mommy, I don’t think he’s coming. Maybe we should just go home. Isn’t it time for supper? Oops, here he comes.

I have to get on the table? Is there food up there? A good view? Oh, OK. Just don’t talk my ears off.
Why am I here? Well, you see, I’ve been diagnosed with luxating patella in both my knees. Sometimes one of them pops out while we’re on a walk and I have to hop and shake that leg to get it to go back in. And sometimes they take turns popping out during the walks, depends on how far we’re walking and how hard the walk is and how I slept on them the night before. Sometimes it helps to get treats as we go and so Mommy always needs to carry a lot of treats in one of her empty poop bags. And I’m here cause Mommy put me in the car and brought me here, not cause I wanna be here. But I’m here, so do what you do except don’t make my ears fall off. And then I’ll go home and get my supper.

Dr. C: My goodness she talks a lot. And why did she say to not make her ears fall off?

The Mom: She’s a schnauzer.

Chia the Mover on Awww Monday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia31 Comments

I wanted to see outside. I was tired of the same old view through the windows while sitting on the loveseat. It was very limiting. I saw the chair at Mom’s desk. It even had a nice soft pillow on it. So I moved it over and positioned it so I could sit in it and watch out the window.

Oh, hi Mom. Not doing anything, just the usual neighborhood watch. How’d the chair get over here? I put it here. What’s the big deal? You weren’t using it.

Sure, you can take my picture for Awww Monday. I get a treat for it, right? And tell everyone I said “Hey!”

Many thanks to Miss Sandee at Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Monday!

Xena’s Unexpected Present on Awww Monday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia18 Comments

It was Christmas morning, and we were all waiting for Andrew and Jentry to come over so we could open presents. I decided to take a little nap in my bed that’s in the big bedroom. I nodded off for a while, and when I woke up, there was a surprise in my bed.

Do y’all remember Chia’s octopus stuffie, “Smiley?” Yep, there he was, big as life, laying with me in my bed. Mom walked in and I asked, “Do you know why Smiley is sleeping with me?”
She said Chia had laid it there, and it was Chia’s Christmas present to me.

She’ll probably want Smiley back later, but that’s ok. Now I can grab it and yell, “Mine!” and Chia can chase me and grab it and yell, “Mine!” and we can have fun playing. Did anyone else get something unexpected for Christmas?

Many thanks to Miss Sandee at Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Monday! And Happy, Happy New Year to everyone!!

Lucy’s Awww Monday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia29 Comments

Good morning friends. Let’s start with a great big thanks to Miss Sandee at Comedy Plus for hosting Awww Monday!

I had a nightmare. It was truly gruesome. No, it wasn’t about Chia. In my dream I was watching a movie, and it came to life. See if this isn’t one of your worst nightmares, too.

Best wishes for everyone to find food on the floor.

Your friend, Lucy

Xena’s Failed Selfie Sunday on Awww Monday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia18 Comments

Daddy, isn’t Mommy coming out to take my selfie on your lap? She needs to hurry. I just ate and I’m getting sleepy.

A few minutes later…

Jeff: Amy, I think it’s too late for a selfie.
Amy: I’ll catch her or maybe Chia wanting their pictures taken a little later.

“A little later”….sleeping with stuffies…
