Lucy’s Yummy Poem on Thankful Thursday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia42 Comments

First, thanks to Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the picture every week!

My sweet little sister Xena said I could do the picture poem this week. She’s been feeling a bit off…miserable, actually. Mom took her to our great vet on Saturday, but they were too busy with 2 of the 3 vets out sick. So they went to the Emergency Vet. Symptoms: constant chewing on herself, eyes very red and constantly crusted over, unhappy. Mom thought she was “yeasty” and she was right. The nice people at the E.V. got her the right meds for yeast and bacteria and after 3 days she was all cleared up and happy again. Shoot, I even saw her and Chia playing and chasing each other around the house yesterday!

Santa’s Little Helpers by Lucy

When I got three Santa Clause hats
I asked Jerry and Kitty Krats
To spend their Christmas Eve with me;
We might find something ‘neath the tree!

Instead, these treats and milk we found.
We looked, and no one was around.
My folks had gone to bed early,
So we were Santa’s helpers three!

The End


Xena: I’m so thankful Mommy took me to the vet, even though I did shake a lot at first. The Emergency Vet. was very nice and so was his nurse. The nurse asked if she could take me to the back to get my weight and temperature. Mommy said, “The only time Xena’s had her temperature taken was as a puppy when I first got her. She screamed so loud that we all thought our ear drums would burst.” So the nurse said, “Hmmm. We can do it under her arm.” (I’m very, very thankful for that.) Seems screaming might be a good defense!
Anyhow, Mommy knew I was feeling miserable, and now I feel so, so good, like I used to feel before the allergies got me down. Mommy says she has her Xexe back!

Lucy: I’m thankful that Miss Christy is coming to stay with us for over a week while Mom and Dad go away. (Miss Christy says I’m her favorite, but shhhh, don’t tell my sisters.) I’m not exactly sure what our folks are doing, but I know it involves someone called Queen Mary and bargain prices and crossing the North Atlantic, whatever that is. I’ll be very happy to stay home with Miss Christy.

Chia: Mom also says she and Dad will be M.I.A. for almost two weeks. So don’t worry about us. We’ll be back. In the meantime, I got my sissie back, and we’re gonna play a lot to make up for missed time when XeBoo didn’t feel good.

Xeboo, er Xena: Chia! don’t call me Xeboo.
Chia: Whatcha’ gonna do ’bout it?
*Xena grabbing Chia’s daschund stuffie and running, with Chia chasing her.*

Lots of love and wags from us all. Lucy, Xena and Chia


Chia’s Crazy Cat Poem and Thankfuls

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia25 Comments

Xena: We’re all thankful for Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the picture every week! Chia’s been a bit upset about our company (even though she’s laying on the couch with Oliver right now) so I thought it might help to let her do the poem this week. She really loves to do that. OK, Chia, you go ahead.

Chia: You did take the last Thursday of my birthday month away from me, Xena, so it’s good I’m getting this week’s.

Loony by Chia the Jacksund

He’s wearing a chef’s hat
And is loony as a bat.
He’s working for a vet
Don’t ever take your pet!

He’s got mechanic’s tools;
All your teeth he could pull.
The vet’s been M.I.A.
No one saw her drive away…

Someone check the freezer!
A body may be in there.
The hat tells the real story.
He”d rather cook than bury!

The End

Hope my poem didn’t make you puke or faint or anything. It’s just kinda the mood I’m in. Mom keeps saying Ollie and I could be play pals if I’d just try. (His name’s Oliver, but I call him Ollie cause it irritates him.) Instead, I look at Ollie and show him my teeth. He looks back and shows me his teeth. We sit like that for a minute or two, then, when I feel I’ve made my point, I get off the couch and walk away.

Xena: I’ve given up. I just ignore them now. They’ve been here five nights and days. Maybe they’re just gonna live here.

Lucy: No, it’s like when our shih tzu friend Gracie comes to visit. Sasha and Oliver’s Mom went on vacation, so our Mom said she’d keep them. I think Sasha and I will get to be friends. I’m always thankful for new friends. And I’m thankful that the weather has cooled off enough we can go for walks when Mom gets home from work.
Xena: Me too. And I’m thankful I got to spend the day at the church with Mommy without any other dogs, even if she did forget to bring my treats.
Chia: I’ll be thankful when Ollie and his big sister leave. Hey, see y’all later. We’re all going to cuddle up on the couch for a nap now.

Xena’s Poem for Freedom on Thankful Thursday

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. I didn’t add my picture today ’cause it just wouldn’t have worked. Here we go!

I Love You, Dear by Xena

I love you, my dear,
I’m sorry you’re here.
You should be home with me.
Don’t shed a tear
‘Cause please never fear,
Soon you’ll be home, you’ll see.

I’ll tell the children
You’ll soon be a civilian
Of this messed up country.
I swear by my four paws,
My tail and my dewclaws,
You won’t be deported, sweet pea.
*ROAR*

Chia: For once in my life I have nothing bad to say. Good job Xena. I’m thankful you’re my sister and we still have our freedom.
Xena: Me too, Chia me too.
Lucy: *sniffle* I’m thankful that there a good people who will help those who are different from us, who come from other places, who just want a good life like ours.

Xena, Chia and Lucy with our paws together for our country.
