“Hey, Twiggy. What’s up?”
“Hi, Dad. I’m thinking of joining Lucy and Bailey in the yard.”
“Go ahead. Nothing should stop you.”
“Well, except for that scary looking bird out there.”
“Oh for heaven’s sake, Twiggy. That’s just a harmless blackbird.”
“I’ve been reading about birds of prey, and at my level, one has to be careful.”
“Go to Lucy. She’ll take care of you.”
“Don’t you worry, Twiggy. That bird can’t hurt you.”
“I feel pretty good right here.”
“Just let him try something. He’ll have to answer to me.”
“So what is Bailey doing over there?”
“She is having one of her beauty sun baths.”
“Beauty sun Baths?”
“Yup. she lays in the sun and believes it helps her skin tone.”
“You and I lay in the sun.”
“But you and I know it doesn’t do a thing.”
“I like the warm though.”
“Yeah, that is nice.”
“What’s Bailey doing now?”
“She is rolling around getting a back itch.”
“Oh, That sounds good.”
“Go over and try it.”
“Hey, Bailey. Am I doing it right?”
“You certainly have good form. Give a little wiggle there.”
“Where you going, Bailey.”
“Ouch. Ear cramp. Gotta find Pops.”
“That does look like it hurts. What does Pops do?”
“He gives it a straighten out. Feels better then.”
“Ahhhh. So much better. Thanks, Pops.”
“No problem Bailey. Come on Twiggy. Time for a nap.”
“Can’t I just stay and have a sun bath?”
“Maybe next time. Right now you need your beauty sleep.”

Very sweet dialogue. I didn’t know about ear cramps. Thank goodness Pops can make it all better. 🙂

Thanks, Gwen. I made the ear cramp stuff up. It is a flopped over ear. 😀

I grinned when I spotted the extra fencing. It’s not at all unattractive, and it certainly will help to keep the littlest sunbather under control.

Ouch, the ear cramps. We’re often telling Maddie to “fix your ears” when they flop over her head.
Twiggy is adorable. I love the way the big girls take care of her.

Nice. I’ve lost count of the number of times I have to tell our dogs to straighten their ears, and pull their lips awat from their dracula-like fangs.
I blame the parents.
