Thursday – A little Personal – Stella

June 22, 2017 · by John W. Howell · in A Little Personal · 49 Comments

Stella

“Hello Reader.”

Hello, Stella. What’s up?

“You know John is out right?”

“Yes, I know. Do you need something?”

“Come in here and look at these two.”

Lucy and Bailey

“Lucy and Bailey? Looks like they are playing.”

Yeah, on my turf.”

Stella

“This is my rug and my office.”

“I thought it was John’s.”

Stella

You are joking, right? He borrows it from me.”

“Oh, I didn’t know.”

“And those two keep coming in here. Rolling around and making a mess.”

Lucy and Bailey

“It certainly looks like they are having fun.”

“I need to find someone who understands.”

Stella

“Wait, Stella. I understand your problem.”

“You do?”

Stella

“Well then, go lay on that couch and I’ll knead your stomach”

“I really have to go.”

***

I am out of the country and will try to respond when I can.

Too cute…yep, under that Thriller writer facade, there’s a writer of children’s books. Stella is the queen, she’s declared herself today. LOL 🙂 Loved the dialogue.

I see you’ve left your blog in good hands, er, paws while you’re gone. You may have to borrow more than the office when you get back, John – these guys are pretty good writers. Love the photos, and I do think that’s how cats see the world.

Delightful, John. 🐱 The finish with tummy-kneading made me smile. I’d forgotten about that. Crystal is not affectionate in that way (don’t get me wrong, she demands attention). Ouch!!! I remember the multi-clawed kneading. 😀 I hope you’re having a great time. Hugs.
