“Twiggy. You awake?”
“Mrufff mumble.”
“I think it is getting late.”
“Uh. Where do we have to be?”
“Well, nowhere, but we can’t sleep on the couch the whole day.”
“Mmmmm. I say we can.”
“Where you going?”
“Gonna go ask dad for the time.”
“Wait up. I’ll go with you.”
“Okay.”
Hey, Dad. What time is it?
“Right now, eleven o’clock. Time for you two to go out.”
“What’s the temp out there?”
“Forty-six degrees,.
“Man, this is cold. Lucy, check the patio. Is it dry?
“I’m going Little One. Why am I always the guinea pig?”
“Twiggy, it’s all wet back here.”
“That’s all I need to know. I’m outa here.”
“Mama, mama, mama. We are dying out here.”
“Good one, Twiggy. I’m sure she will come running now.”
“Lucy. The reason you are the guinea pig is you are so much bigger and braver than me.”
“Save the soft soap for Mama. She’s going to be forced to wipe your paws.”
“Wake us in a couple of hours, Dad. Not sure that outing was effective.”
“Will do, Twiggy. I stand to serve.”

The girls sure like to sleep! I wish I could…been up since 2:30. 😦 That’s a big temperature drop, John. It’s coming our way next. Thanks for the smiles this morning!

I’ve got more in common with the girls than I realized. It’s 48 here right now, with the wind gusting to 46 mph, and I’m thinking, “Maybe I should just go back to bed, where it’s cozy.” Even the couch would do — you have a couple of smart doggies, there.

I was surprised to hear that the temperature has gotten so low this early in the year John. It is a tad cooler than our present temperature here in Nova Scotia which is 52 F.
I’ve enjoyed watching Twiggy over the past months. Is she as big as she is going to get?
She seems so little compared to Lucy.

We also are having a “cold snap!”, It’s 15 degrees right now outside that’s a wee bit warmer than yesterday morning. Today it’s going to hit the mid 50’s. I’ll go outside for a walk this afternoon. Poor girls have to go when it’s really cold in the morning.
I’m glad they have Mama to wipe their paws, and there are nice, soft, warm blankies on the sofas for them. Stay warm and dry!

Another delightful visit with the girls, John. I finally had to turn on the heat here this week. Although most days I’ve had to run the air conditioner for an hour or two to cool down the bedroom (it gets blasted by the afternoon sun). Yesterday was the first day this fall that I haven’t used the AC at all. For the first time in over a decade, I’m not in dread of winter weather! LOL. Happy Halloween hugs!
