Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy at Play

January 17, 2019 · by John W. Howell · in A Little Personal · 68 Comments

Lucy, Lucy, Lucy. Play with me.

Sure Little One. What do you want to play?

“I thought about ball, but then maybe tag would be fun.”

“How about flag football with my ears as the flags?”

“Oh, you silly. You know you don’t want to do that.”

“Then quit grabbing my ears.”

“Okay. How about I tag you on the chin?”

“I guess that would work okay.”

“Better yet how about ball after all?”

“Can I sit here while you run around with it?”

“You are kidding right?”

“Yes, potato, I’m kidding.”

“Okay. How about I give you a head start, and I’m it?”

“How about we go in and have a big drink?”

“You know, Lucy. That sounds like the best idea of all.”

  They are inseperable until Lucy decides she needs some alone time. Lucy then will Twiggy know it’s time. Twiggy totally understands. The separation lasts maybe an hour or so.

Stopping for a drink always makes sense. They really are a joy to see, enjoying one another’s company. I suspect you enjoy their company just as much.
