Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy Jousts Another Windmill

~ John W. Howell

Today Twiggy decided to get involved in the cleaning process. Whether it was curiosity or a Don Quixote move I can’t tell. Let ‘s just follow her and find out.

Twiggy and Lucy

“So there you are soul sucker.”

“I want you to know I fear no evil.”

“Yeah sure. Come at me if you dare.”

“I hope you know better than to go after my toy.”

“I’m not afraid of no ghost. Excuse me but I need my rest.”

“Hey, Twiggy.”

“Yes, Dad.”

“Could you pick up your toys so I can get that corner?”

“Dad. Do you see an opposable thumb on these paws?”

“Uh, Twiggy. Looks like something followed you in here.”

“Yeah, ignore it. Lucy. It’s Dad doing the vacuuming.”

“I heard you talking to it in the other room.”

“Yeah, I was trying to make up an adventure. Dad spoiled it.”

“What happened?”

“Dad asked me to pick up my toys.”

“Ah. Buzzkill.”

“Well, ladies. I’m finished.”

“Not too soon either, Boss.”

“Maybe next time I can do a Man of LaMancha drama.”

  3. Ah ha …. I didn’t know Twiggy is an aspiring actor. My first thought was Twiggy encountering the dark master – Darth Vader. Too bad she encountered the buzzkill.

  5. My Chocolate Lab likes me to vacuum *him*. He positions himself in front of the vacuum, stretches out and waits. If I stop and run the hose up and down his back a few times, he’s happy. Love these animals!

      1. It’s crazy, John. He’s a big ninny about almost everything, so one would have expected him to be scared of the vacuum as well, but nope. Absolutely loves it. Would lay there all day if I would indulge him…😂

  10. Twiggy had a pretty intense look going there until you…well, you know, John. Apparently, all the toys need to be spread out so they can find the one they want. At least that’s how it works here. You have two real cuties!

  11. That last photo is an absolute killer. The expressions on each of their faces seems to really convey their personalities. I never could have gotten such photos with Dixie Rose. Whenever I turned on the vaccum, she’s head under the bed for the duration.

  13. It’s nice to have “someone” following you around when you’re cleaning, LOL.

    OMG, I love all of their toys! Such spoiled girls.They definitely have the good life going on, cleaning interruptions or no cleaning interruptions!

  15. What a hoot! You wouldn’t have been able to get a story out of Zeke as he would have been out of there from the moment you turned it on. I have to agree that last photo is priceless.

  16. She’s a brave little one! Vacuuming takes the form of an apocalyptic event in our house with little Bella. Hats off to Twiggy! Thanks for sharing, John. Happy Thursday! 🙂

  19. Love Lucy’s expression in the last photo! The vacuum used to be a source of entertainment for Dallas. He’d chase it and bark like crazy, probably trying to herd it and coming away frustrated. Now, he mostly sighs and moves to someplace where it’s not. There are some advantages in being old (or, as he says, experienced)!

  21. Ha-ha-ha! Amazing story, dear John! She is bold & courageous. I hope one day she will learn to use it too. In fact, it seems that she has a particular interest in gadgets. New dog generation! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

  25. That last shot of the girls is priceless:) In our house the vacuum is an evil dragon to hide from. Such bravery at your house!

  28. “Do you see an opposable thumb on these paws?” I get the same reaction from our cats when I suggest they just feed themselves at 5:30 in the morning. Twiggy is so cute. I love her calling the vacuum cleaner “soul sucker”! That was a laugh out loud 🙂

  33. Ha, ha! That’s so cute! Scribbles, my Pom runs to my room when I’m vacuuming and hides under the bed. He’s done this since he was a puppy. I can’t get him to make peace with the vacuum.
    😀 xo
