“Hey, Twiggy. What are you doing?”
“Oh, Hi Dad. Just trying to find an interesting toy to play with.”
“It’s a beautiful day. Why aren’t you outside?”
“For one I don’t have prehensile paws. I need help with the door.”
“Out you go.”
“Lucy, Lucy, Lucy.”
“Yes, Twiggy. Good to see you out here.”
“What are we doing?”
“I was just going to have a laydown, but now that you’re here, go get your shovel.”
“Okay. I have it. Now what?”
“Bring it over here.”
“Be right there. Here I am. What do I do with it.”
“If it were me I would chew on it a while.”
“OMG, Mom would have a fit.”
“I know. Makes it all the sweeter.”
“Lucy.”
“What Bailey?”
“You’re going to get the little one in trouble.”
“Oh yeah? What if I protect her with my life?
“Mom can be pretty persuasive.”
“In any case, I will make a stand.”
“Lucy. You are my hero. You know that?”
“Aw Twiggy. I just think there are some fun things to do that aren’t human authorized.”
“Like what?”
“How do you like to bark?”
“Oh. I love that.”
“Case in point.”
“I have so much to learn. Thanks, Lucy. I see Dad heading this way.”
“I’m laying on the shovel. No one needs to be any the wiser.”
“Got it, Lucy. Bye Bailey.”
“Buy short stuff.”
“You ready to go inside. Twiggy.”
“Aw gee, Dad.”
“Tomorrow’s another day.”
“Where did this monster truck come from?”
“Mom thought you would enjoy it for a change.”
“I’ll thank her at dinner.”
“Good idea. By the way, where’s your shovel?”
“Shovel? What shovel?”
“Been chewing again, huh?”
“Can’t say I know what you are talking about, Dad.”
It’s so sweet to see the ladies enjoying one another. Who knew a shovel could be a prized possession? Have a great day, John.
