Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy’s Morning Walk

~ John W. Howell

Twiggy and Lucy

“You want  to go with us, Lucy?”

“Um. Let’s see. 90 degrees, humidity in the 70s. I’d say no.”

“Okay then, Let’s go, Twiggy.”

“I’m ready, Dad. Let’s go.”

“You. have to sit first.”

“Yeah, I forgot.”

“What’s that up there?”

“It’s a giant poodle hauling a lady.”

“She’s still there.”

“I know, Dad. If she doesn’t move pretty soon, I’m going to bark her to St Louis.”

“That is a lawnmower, Tiggy.”

“I’ve seen them through the window but not this close. It has an air of ugly, don’t you think?”

“Hows the shade feel.”

“This is nice. That sun is getting hot.”

“Let’s keep walking.”

“Hold up, Dad. There is some terrific smells here.”

“How about those flowers.”

“Look like Vinca to me, Dad.”

“The mower is still there.”

“These guys are really slow.”

“How do you like the truck, Twiggy?”

“Noisy, smelly, and too fast to catch.”

“See anything interesting, Twiggy?”

“Oh, the usual. A savage beast poodle. A lawn chewing monster. A four-door white karma crusher, and some vinca. Whew, I’m bushed from all that fighting.”

“Yes, Twiggy?”

“I forgot to say thanks for the walk.”

“You are so welcome. Thanks for keeping me safe from all those threats.”

“Anytime Dad. Anytime.”

  19. This is so precious! The photos are really exceptional. My favorites are of Twiggy sitting at the door waiting to go outside and the last one. The camera loves her, LOL.

    She had quite an adventure on her walk and is such a brave protector!

  20. She’s so cute, John. Our fences are down now. Otto loves his harness and life is good. Frankie hates hers and change makes her upset. I walked her all the way around the house and it confused her, because she’s used to her fence.

  21. Love your second-to-last photo, John. Dallas never did lie down with his legs straight out back like Twiggy’s doing, and it’s just so cute! Also love seeing your world through the little one’s eyes.

  23. Oh, my gosh, John! This is totally off the cuteness chart! I love the way you end her dialog with “and some vinca.” 🙂 Thank you for sharing. Twiggy is full of personality!

  24. Twiggy’s no sissy (and forcing you not to be, either!) Loved the descriptions of all the fear-inducing things out there you need protecting from.
    That last shot is ace, for sure!
