Thursday – Anything Possible – Quiet Day of Recovery

~ John W. Howell

Lucy Bailey Twiggy

“You heard Pops you two. No running around. Twiggy needs her rest after surgery.”

“Yes, Mama Bailey. We heard. A little jog couldn’t hurt.”

“Come on Twig. Chase me.”

“You sure it will be okay?”

“What can it hurt. All dogs run.”

“Well okay. You go and I’ll run after you

“There you go, Twiggy. You look great.”

“I don’t think I can catch you two.”

“Go catch Bailey. Then come back after me.”

“Okay, Lucy. Look out, Bailey here I come.”

“Gotcha, Bailey.”

“You sure did kid. Now go get Lucy, but walk.”

“Gonna get cha, gonna get cha. Gonna, gonna, gonna.”

“Bring it on, little stuff. I can outrun a freight train, let alone a little caboose like you.

“Okay ladies. Time to come inside.”

“Lucy?”

“Yes, Boss?”

“You and Twiggy take it easy out there?”

“You have no need to worry, Boss. We were like lambs. Right Twiggy?”

“Yes, Dad. Just like grazing sheep.”

I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two. I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

    1. Gwen told me you were concerned. That was so heartwarming, Jill. What happened was I set the post to run but messed up the time. Let’s make a deal. If anything happens to me I’ll send you a note. (or someone will) You shouldn’t have to worry. ❤

    1. Thaks Dan. It was one of those get it quick moments. They were actually laying there. That was not staged. We have another shot where Twiggy is laying across Lucy’s paws with her stomach showing. We missed the shot of Lucy laying her head on Twiggy’s stomach. It would have been priceless.

      1. Well, none of the rules. I was trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. 🙂 They really are adorable together and have totally welcomed Twiggy. What’s not to love?

  22. Good to see Twiggy back on her feet. I love the innocence of the last shot. When my dogs look like that, I always search the house to see what they did.

    Thanks for putting a smile on my face.
