Xena on Vacation on Selfie Sunday

Hi friends, it’s me, Xena, on vacation in Fort Wayne, In Dee Anna. First, here is my selfie at our Air B&B:

Mom and me and Chia have been going for walks every morning. Yesterday we got to go to visit our grandma in the nursing home. She was real happy to see us both. And Chia was real good with her this time. In fact, a lot of the ladies that live there pet us both and smiled a lot.

From there we went to our Aunt Bobbi’s and Uncle Dennis’. The plan was for Daddy to drop us and Mommy off at their house, then take Aunt Bobbi with him to where a lot of the family were meeting at a Mexican restaurant. (Uncle Dennis had already left, cause we stayed too long at Grandma’s and were running late.)

Anyhoo, about 5 minutes after they left us, Aunt Bobbi called and said the rental car’s back tire had “blown out.” They needed Mommy’s help. Mommy and me, we left in Aunt Bobbi’s car to find them in the “middle of nowhere” and after about 87 minutes the tow truck came, Daddy rode to the tire place with the tow truck crew, and Mommy and me, we drove home. (Uncle Dennis already came and picked up Aunt Bobbi.)

By that time, everyone had already come back to the house for dessert and to visit.

By the time I got back there after helping with the tow truck, everyone had already gotten real attached to Chia, so I mostly kept to myself next to Mommy. And she had a plate of food, too.

Now we’re in Inn Dee Ann Apple Is. We stayed all night in another Air B&B called a “Tiny Home.” And wow, is it ever tiny. We were all tired and went to bed on a pull-out couch. Chia woke us all up two times during the night wanting to sleep where I was sleeping. The first time I moved for her. The second time Mommy said, “No! Go lay down or you’ll be sleeping in the car.” (Chia believed her, he, he.)

Daddy had something he had to do here today, and then we were going to spend another night and leave after breakfast tomorrow. Now, we voted…

Chia: You know we didn’t vote, Xena!

Xena: …and we decided to leave early this afternoon and drive home. Maybe I’ll get to lay in Mommy’s lap the whole way home.

Me and Chia and Mommy just got back from a very long sidewalk walk and us pups are going to lay down and rest now. Have a Happy Selfie Sunday!

Thanks to The Cat on My Head  for hosting Sunday selfies!

Happy Thanksgiving and Xena’s Fantasy Meal

Xena: I’m not allowed to eat ham, so that’s why I have turkey for Thanksgiving. (Sorry Mr. Turkey, above.) Speaking of eating turkey, here’s my poem on Thankful Thursday. Oh, and thanks to Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the picture every week!

Thanksgiving Dinner by Xena the Schnauzer

Come on Heinz, bring me a piece
A big one, mind you, not full of grease.

I’m trying, Xexe, to get you some,
But if Mom comes in I’ll have to run.

I thought you cooked the turkey for me!
I thought that I am your sweet honey.

You are my dear, but don’t you see?
This turkey is bigger than you and me!

You grab the front, I’ll grab the back
Together we’ll have a really good snack!

The End

Chia: I can’t wait to get some of that turkey I smell cooking in the oven. Mmmm.
Lucy: It does smell great! What about your thankfuls, Chia?
Chia: I’m thankful I got to go on the Fort Wayne trip with Mom and Dad. I got to visit my Grandma and I wasn’t afraid of her in her wheel chair this time. She pet me real nice and than Mom sat on the floor and held me.
Lucy: I’m thankful I didn’t have to ride in the car on a trip. I’m a nervous wreck when I do that. Instead, I stayed with Miss Susan and my friends Sasha and Oliver, where I had a great time. I can’t wait to go back. And I’m thankful that Sasha’s mouth and place where she had stitches is all healed up and she’s her excited, happy self again!
Xena: I’m also thankful I got to go with Mommy and Daddy, even if I DID get a bath while I was there. I’m glad I made a nice man in a wheel chair happy while we visited my Grandma. He pet me and I layed between his feet. He said he liked me and I’m a good dog. *wags* I’m also thankful to be home and back with my sister Lucy. *wags* I guess that’s all for now, so together…
Lucy, Chia and Lucy: Happy Thanksgiving!
