“Hey, Little one. How about a game of Jolly ball.”
“Um. I’m kind of busy right now.”
“Busy? Doing what?”
“I’m looking for acorns.”
“Acorns? You know you are not supposed to chew those. They’re not good for dogs.”
“I’m not going to chew them.”
“What are you going to do then?”
“I’m going to use them as bait for that pesky squirrel.”
“You gotta be kidding me. Look this ball is a sure thing. You’ll never get that squirrel.”
“Well, rather than chase it, I’ll lay a couple of acorns down and when it comes to get them I’ll pounce like a mama lion.”
“Okay then. I’m going to go get some rays.”
“Where did all the acorns go anyway?”
“I hate to tell you but Mom comes out here and picks them up.”
“Well, no wonder.”
“So you might just as well come over and take in the sun too.”
“I just can’t imagine Mom coming out here to pick them up.”
“She doesn’t want you to get sick, Dufus.”
“Aww, you think so?”
“I know so. Also, she hates it when you sit in those rocks.”
“Why. I like them. They are nice and warm.”
“Yes, and you get ant bites over there.”
“Not all the time. Just once in a while. You gonna move over or what?”

It sounds like there’s a fear Twiggy will eat almost anything. Ant bites can be nasty, especially red ants. Good pictures, John. 🙂 — Suzanne
