Xena: First, thanks to Brian for hosting Brian’s Thankful Thursday! And I am thankful to Angel Sammy for the fun picture this week, too.
My thankful this week is that Lucy is the new church dog.
Chia, Riley: *stares at Xena in silence while Lucy goes to find Mom*
Lucy: *returning* You’re either sick or being disingenuous, Xena.
Xena, Riley and Chia: *stares at Lucy in silence*
Xena: No I’m not, and you made that word up.
Lucy: No, I asked Mom how to say in one word that you were pretending that something didn’t matter to you that really did.
Xena: OK, so maybe that’s true, but I’m thankful that I don’t get as my baths, so maybe I don’t care!
Chia: I’m thankful I haven’t gotten in (much) trouble lately. I think all that good CeeBeeDee oil is helping!
Lucy: I’m also thankful that you haven’t gotten in (much) trouble lately cause that means you’re being nicer to me.
Xena: Enough with the thankfuls, let’s get to the poem. I got to do it again this week. Do you like how I jumped into the picture?
Eating Chocolate Haiku by Xena the Disingenuous Schnauzer
Eating chocolate.
Every child needs a helper.
A schnauzer is best.
Happy Thursday, friends! Xena, Lucy, Chia and Riley

I still have to get one every week cause I’ve got hair, not fur, and I get like a dirty head of people hair, only shorter. Wheh, I did that all in one breath! XOX Xena

Lots of good thankfuls, and we love how you are a good actor, Xena! (Cause you’re Disingenuous…)
That poem made me giggle…and if you were in on that chocolate mess, then you’ll need to confess that you were naughty, too…so there, you two!

Yikes…stay away from dirty little boys. No good can come from that when it’s brown. We’re thankful too that sweet Lucy is the official Church Dog-she’s ‘pawfect’ for that position. Meanwhile, hopefully you won’t need a bath any time soon. 😉
