Poetry Thursday

 

For the first time, I am taking part in Brian’s Thankful Thursday.

I have not participated before because I am thankful for everything.

I am thankful to live in a quiet, snuggly house.

I am thankful my Mom did all her work before I arrived so she could spend her day with me.

I am thankful that her sworn enemy Arthur Righteous makes it hard for her to walk so she barely leaves the house.

I am thankful that my parents, when they can, take me with them, in the car.

I am thankful there is enough slack in the tether that holds me in the back seat so I can stand on the center console and see where we are going.

I am thankful for the rocks on my walk where dogs leave me pee mails.

I am thankful for my pee pads because I don’t have to go outside to do my business and can stay in a temperature-controlled environment while performing my duties.

I am thankful I can pee and poop on my schedule and don’t have to stand outside on a cold and wet morning with wet paws as one of my parents insist I do my duties because they don’t understand that such conditions expand my bladder and tightens my sphincter.

I am thankful that when you read this somewhere in the world someone will be eating a personal pan pizza and will be for eternity because, with the possible exception of some items on a Denny’s menu personal pan pizzas can survive a nuclear attack.

I am thankful that I can sleep in the big, warm, comfortable bed.

I am thankful that I earned the right to sleep on the big bed by spending two weeks sleeping in my crate without complaining, which is 87 years in dog time.

I am thankful I have been spade so I am not driven mad when I go into heat; such madness is the only way we lollipops would consent to do the nasty with a dirty boy who rudely presses down on our spines while doing unspeakable things to us.

I am thankful for my online friends who I have learned so much.

I am thankful to Brian for inspiring this blog.

I am thankful that, if I feel to list more things I am thankful for, Brian will give me a platform to do so.
