Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy at Home

Twiggy and Lucy

“Hey, Twiggy. Come see the new rug.”

“I’m busy now.”

“What are you doing?”

“Dad left the dishwasher open, and I’m checking it out. Be right there.”

“Okay. I’m here. Where are you?”

“Over at the dishwasher looking for you.”

“Man, you are a hard one to keep on the radar.”

“Been here the whole time.”

Twiggy and Lucy

“Yeah, sure, Little potato. I call this move my step over body pin.”

“Not hard to pin a little guy, Lucy. Let me up, and I’ll show you something.”

Twiggy and Lucy

“What’s that called?”

“Stealth stalking. The panther lays in wait for its prey.”

“Then pounces on the unsuspecting big ox.”

“Hey. Who you calling a big ox?”

“It’s just a game, Lucy.”

“Of course it is. Had you fooled.”

“Are you coming back?”

“After I graze the pasture Little One.”

“Brother.”

      Thank you, Jill. The house is coming long. They like the one floor feature. Gives them some running around room. 😀

    I laughed at that basket of toys. In the midst of all that gray and white, it’s almost the most colorful thing in the room, but not quite: that pair of pups you have are much more colorful, despite their white coats.

    Dogs are rarely bored; they always find something to explore.
    Of course, they only have to kill a few hours when they sleep for most of the day…

          I always like to look at an animal sleeping in peace. Makes me think I’m doing a good job making their life as good as possible.

          Tiles are easy to clean. That’s what we like about them. We have area rugs in the living room and in the den. Nothing yet in KC.
