Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy and Twiggy See Changes

“Man Lucy. So we have new dining room chairs. Why are we posing?”

“You know Mom. She likes to include us in on everything.”

“Hey, Boss. Can we go out?”

“Of course. Here let me get the door. There are changes out there.”

“Lucy. Where are all the leaves?”

“Beats me. It looks like they have been picked up. You and I helped a while ago, and there were so many left.”

“And all the shrubs and bushes. Where are they?”

“I guess they have been removed. Remember what the yard looked like?”

“I do. There were plants everywhere.”

“Yeah, I kinda liked the overgrown look.”

“Want to play ball in the new space?”

“That would be fun. You go out and I’ll toss it to you.”

“Hey, Twiggy. I  forgot. I don’t have an opposable thumb.”

“I wondered how you were going to throw it.”

“Well, I could stalk it, pounce on it, put it in my mouth, and run it over to you.”

“That sounds like fun.”

“Whoops. I think I heard the kibble bag open.”

“Seriously? Let’s go. I’m starved.”

“What about the ball game.”

“Tomorrow. Today we eaT.”

      Yes it is. We had some help from a tree clearing service and their front loader. 😊

    Frankie is into the chips bag. If you ever wonder what she’s up to all you have to do is walk to the pantry and touch a bag of potato chips. She materializes faster than you can imagine.

    You have a couple of top of the line inspectors. Of course, when kibble makes the scene, all bets are off. Priorities . . .

    Scooter requires a 40 page impact statement be submitted for any changes to his environment. In fact, his requirements are so stringent that the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources wanted to hire him as a consultant.
