Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy, Lucy, and Bailey Playtime

~ John W. Howell

Twiggy, Lucy, Bailey

“Okay, Dad. Mom got me this terrific toy, and I wonder if Lucy and Bailey want to play.”

“Well, let’s just go up and see.”

“Hey, Boss. What’s this thing you dropped on the floor.”

“That is Frenchie Vanilla. Twiggy’s toy.”

“Frenchie Vanilla, Pops? Pretty cute I would say.”

“Yes, and Twiggy wants to know if you want to play?”

“Woah. Here she comes. You mean play with her don’t, you? Excuse me I gotta dash.”

“Yes, that is exactly what I mean you big chicken.”

“I can play from up here, Pops.”

“I don’t know, Baily. She looks pretty much fun.”

“Hey, Lucy. Got you on the butt. You’re it.”

“Yeah. A lot of fun, Lucy.”

“Okay, Lucy. Bet I can make you blink.”

“Not me, little stuff. I come from a long line of non-blinkers.”

“See, little one. Made you blink.”

“Okay, you win. What’s with Bailey and the couch?”

“She likes her playmates to be a bit bigger. She doesn’t want to hurt you is all.”

“Is that the truth, Dad?”

“I think so, Twiggy. Lucy would know better than me. Go play with her.”

“So Lucy. Want to play hide and seek?”

“Sure. You go hide.”

“How about you Bailey. I’ll be ‘it’ if you want.”

“Well, Twiggy. You promise not to get underfoot?”

“Sure I promise. I’ll spit in my paw and kiss this cover so you know I’m sincere.”

“Good enough for me. Come on Lucy. Let’s go hide. Twiggy count to twenty.”

Twiggy

“One, Two, uh three. Hey Dad.”

“Yes, Twiggy?”

“What comes after three?”

“I think I would sing ‘rock a bye baby’ instead.”

  11. Oh my, such sweetness rolled into one little pup! It seems as though Lucy and Bailey are adapting to having a little one around. Great photos and dialogue, John!

  15. Aw, the cuteness factor on this one is way up there, John! Love the angle you’ve photographed the girls in — it really points out how tiny Twiggy is, compared to her big sisters. How big will she eventually get anyway?

  28. If I were there, I’d never get anything done. I’d spend all my time watching those three: laughing at them, and admiring them. Have you found yourself singing, “Getting To Know You”? It sure seems appropriate!

  34. You know, when Twiggy stands up on her hind legs, she kinda resembles Yoda … She’s stolen my heart. Alas, Maxine, Wendy, and Junior would go berserk if another furball (dog or cat) entered our home. My husband and I would probably go berserk too 😉
