Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy’s Home

“Hey, Dad.”

“Hi, Twiggy. You have a good rest?”

“Sure did. What’s on today?”

“You are going to play with your sisters, Bailey and Lucy.”

Twiggy's Home

“Lucy, meet Twiggy. Twiggy, Lucy.”

“Hello, little one.”

“Boy, you’re a big one aren’t ya.”

“And I would say you are a little one for sure.”

“So how long have you been here?”

“I was adopted eight years ago.”

 

“Tell the truth. You like it here?”

“It’s the best. Now could you let go so Baily can come over?”

Bailey and Twiggy

“Hey, little stuff. How’s it going?”

“This is Bailey, Twiggy.”

“We get it pops.”

Bailey and Twiggy

“That bed is a little too big for you.”

“Gee sis. You are right. Wanna play?”

“Here’s the thing Twig. I need to take a nap right now. So maybe after that. ”

“We can play tag. I’ll be it”

“Okay, just for a while.”

Bailey Lucy and Twiggy

“I think I tagged you.”

“I think you missed.”

“Come on Baily play fair.”

“You can say that Lucy. You haven’t been chased around the couch ten times.”

“Okay, kids. Time for lunch.”

“Saved by the dinner bell.”

  2. Well done, John. I see harmony!
    I wish my two would get on that well. Sadly, although brought up as a pack dog, Trevor has an overactive selfish gland!

    1. He is a terrier. Our Silky Terrier used to nip Lucy and Bailey’s feet. Of course, they would have to restrain themselves since we would caution them to be nice. It is a wonder Lucy and Bailey didn’t have a breakdown. Thanks, Keith.

    Ahhh, so so sweet. There’s nothing like a puppy to warm the heart, well, unless it’s a grandbaby. Maybe that’s next on your list, another grandbaby? 😀 Have a fantastic day, John, and thank you for the delight.

    1. Hmmm. Can you go to a rescue farm and get a grand baby or do you have to rely on your kid? Thanks, Gwen. Don’t see a grand baby too soon.
