Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy is Concerned

~ John W. Howell

“Hi, Boss.”

“Well, hello Lucy. How are you today?”

“Pretty good boss but I have a question.”

“I wonder if you could set that computer aside for a minute?”

“Oh, sure, sweetheart.”

Lucy

 

“Darn thing anyway.”

“You had a question?”

Yeah. Mom tells us you are heading overseas.”

“Yes, that is true. I’ll be gone a couple of weeks.”

Lucy

“What’s with that face?”

“I’m worried.”

“About what?”

“That you’ll forget us.”

“How is that possible? You are my babies.”

Lucy

“Seriously?”

“Seriously.”

“And the kibble will show up as usual?”

“Guaranteed.”

“Thanks, Boss. I think we’ve covered it all. Time to rest.”

Lucy

“Sleep tight, Lucy.”

“Have a nice trip, Boss. Don’t forget the souvenir.”

“Wouldn’t think of forgetting. Thanks.”

Lucy has a way to introduce the fact that I will be leaving for Scotland on the 18th returning on the 30th. We are going to visit the birthplace of our grandparents. This trip will place a little pressure on my blogging so I apologise in advance if I miss a comment or even a post. I’ll do my best to stay current but one never knows.

  2. Reblogged this on Smorgasbord – Variety is the spice of life and commented:
    There are three dogs that I follow regularly as they do put a spin and new perspective on life.. Danny, Ani and Lucy (and jeez must not forget the fabulous Zoe the Feline) are a delight.. their owners are not too shabby either.. John Howell is going to Scotland on the 18th to the land of his forefathers…. Lucy is rightly concerned about the trip.. so lovely

  3. LOL, John this is adorable. But it’s a truly wonderful vacation, so forget blogging and enjoy yourself. 🙂 Of course you’ll need to call Lucy and crew frequently, but as for the blogosphere… Just have a safe, happy, relaxing, terrific time. Mega hugs.

  5. So sweet…it’s amazing how Lucy speaks volumes with just a glance. She and Bailey are your babies – impossible to forget. I suspect they’ll accompany at least in spirit. Have a wonderful trip, John. 🙂

  7. I Love Lucy – those photos are so precious, John. I hope you have a safe trip and wonderful weather (you did say Scotland…). If you miss us, we’ll understand. I hope you’ve negotiated the finest of care for Luce and her mates.

  14. Lucy (and Baily) sound a lot like my spaniel Toby – everything revolves around his tummy with walkies coming a close second. 😀
    Enjoy your stay in bonny Scotland! If you’re doing the whisky distillery tours around Inverness, do say ‘hi’ to ‘Nessie’ on the Loch… if you spot her afterwards! 😉

  21. So, it’s only a few hundred mile round trip to come to Devon and visit. I know from Rhonda that y’all do that sort of distance over there just for a decent cup of Joe, I’ll put the kettle on.

  23. Scotland? Might I say I’m just pea-green with envy, John?? I love the idea of visiting the Motherland when possible, even if the babies have to go to “camp” for a little while. Lucy et. al. will be just fine — maybe you’ll bring them back a stuffed sheep or something! No pressure from here to maintain a regular blogging schedule — enjoy that vacation!!

    1. I think I have the two weeks pretty much set up. Tuesdays and Saturday may be iffy. I plan to do Views of the Scottish neighborhood on Sunday. We’ll see how it works. Thanks, Debbie. The babies will be cared for very well.

  29. Oh, I love that pup’s mug!! Have a wonderful trip, John. Indeed, do not concern yourself with keeping up with blogs while you’re gone. But we will expect pictures when you get back 😉 Safe travels 😘

  31. OMG! Have a wonderful time, and don’t worry about us. I’m looking forward to the tales, and images you share when you return. I’ve never been to Scotland and would love to see it through your viewfinder.
