Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy at Play (A Little)

~ John W. Howell

Twiggy and Lucy

“Hey, Lucy. YOU AWAKE?”

“Um, I am now.”

“How about a game of Puma and Water Buffalo?”

“You get to be the Puma, right?”

“Well, let’s just ask ourselves. Who most resembles the Puma?”

“Sure, and who most resembles the Water Buffalo?”

“I will ask everyone out there. Who indeed.”

“Who are you talking to for heaven’s sake?”

“Just a couple of deer. Certainly, no one who can answer the question.”

“For a minute there….Ah, never mind.”

“So how about it? A quick game? After all, it is fifty degrees.”

“Okay, but don’t start whining when the Water Buffalo gores you silly.”

“The Puma begins the stealthy attack.”

“The Water Buffalo prepares to defend the herd.”

“The Puma stikes with razor-like claws.”

“Which the Water Buffalo deflects.”

Lucy and Twiggy

“The Puma decides to let the Water Buffalo live.”

“The Water Buffalo decides to let the Puma live.”

“That was fun.”

“Yes, it was. Makes a nap so much more beautiful.

  16. That was a quick game. I’d guess Lucy is humoring Twiggy. My daughter’s cat used to eat breakfast then stalk me as I sat on the couch. She’d climb to the back of the couch, walk behind me, and bat me on the head Funny cat. 😀 — Suzanne

  32. What fun that pair is. Watching them at play always brings a smile — even tonight, after about five hours of trying to set up my new Windows 10 OS. I’d much rather have the girls than the Candy Crush that Microsoft thought I’d want to have on my desktop!

    1. I have found that whatever Microsoft thinks I need I just take. BTW when you hit the “I agree” on the terms of service check the next to the last line. It says, “When called up I will serve as Bill Gates’ cabana person.”

      1. Oh, my gosh! Did that make me laugh. I almost went to check the EULA, and then decided I really didn’t want to know. I’ll just wait for the call.

        You know, you might have the beginning of another top ten, there….

  36. I loved this! The photos and dialogue were perfect, like the ‘steely face’ of guessing who was who, and the well-deserved nap after playing. Thank you, John. Give Lucy and Twiggy a big hug.
