“Not sure, Lucy. Is the grass wet?”
Nope all dry. That 3 inches of rain are all soaked in. Come on down.”
“Give me a minute.”
“What’s the problem, Little One?”
“No problem. I just haven’t done my Yoga yet today.”
“Running is good exercise. We could run around the yard.”
“Mmmm. Let me do a few moves.”
“Down dog. Ahhh, this feels good.”
“You kill me, Twiggy.”
“I don’t see why. Everyone should do their Yogi.”
“That is not what kills me.”
“We have this beautiful yard, and sometimes it’s like pulling teeth to get you out into it.”
“A girl has to be careful, Lucy.”
“Careful of what?”
“Well, of getting dirty for one thing. Maybe breaking a nail for another.”
“You are a real putz. You know that?”
“Yes, but you still love me.”
“True, Little one. Let’s go in a beg a treat.”

Feels like this is a twist on the norm. Usually it’s Twiggy urging Lucy to be active.
