Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy – At Loose Ends

~ John W. Howell

Lucy and Twiggy

“What do you say to stop sniffing grass and head for the patio?”

“I think that s a good idea. I’ve read all these messages anyway.”

“The sun feels food even though it’s only 48 degrees.”

“You are so right, Lucy. I can feel it. The patio will be even better.”

“Hey, wait a minute. All these shadows make for a chilly lounge.”

“You are right, Little One. It is downright cold in the shadows.”

“Lucy, you know what to do under any circumstance. What should we do?”

“Well, first off, we need to stay together. It is warmer that way.”

“Aw, you think that it will be warmer for me.”

“Yes, Little One, that was my thought.”

“You are such a good sister. It definitely is warmer under you.”

“This is not going to work long term. We need sunshine.”

“Okay, where do we find it?”

“It is not over there. I think we have to go to the other side of the yard.”

“But you and I love to sit on these loungers and call for the house boy. That part of the yard is way over there.”

“I think the house boy is off today, Twiggy. I think we ought to get started.”

“How about the flower bed. There is a lot of sun here?”

“Remember those stones are too sharp for me. cause I’m so big.”

“Oh yeah. We don’t want to go back to that discussion.”

“Smart girl.”

  1. 48 is chilly for sure. Why is it all the good spots are in the shade? Oh yeah… when it’s 100, that’s what we want.
    We’re in a cold spell right now… hovering in the teens… Brrr

      1. Ha-ha-ha! They must have been surprised, dear John! Therefore, the Twiggy inspection must fly to the Sun to check what’s going on. You know, budgies cannot comprehend what snow is. I remember Gregory’s surprised expression (as much as a parrot’s face might have one) looking through the window at winter time. So, The Sun has its secret doggy meaning for Lucy & Twiggy. 😁😂😂

        6. So, now you know the point. Gregory was very intelligent & could speak little French. In fact, he asked me to teach him. (Mostly he spoke with sense). And did Whiskers talk much? 😁😁😁

        8. Oh, amazing bird, dear John! I admire with them! Gregory also has passed for 10 years ago, but his story will always remain incredible for me. He could speak little French, declared himself to be a Frenchman & a musketeer, had his friend-elephant. It is impressive. As I have told you I’m writing a book for children about Petya and Gregory’s adventures. At the moment I’m working on the Italian-English version. I delay a bit with the time, but I hope to use the Christmas feasts to make the first draft. Let’s see what will come out. I suppose that you should also mention your smart friend in your writings. He deserves it.

  14. The house boy gets a day off? What’s up with that? I hope the girls find some sun. Lucy is a great sister. Make sure they get a snack, John.

    Tell Twiggy Maddie says she might get lost in the snow up here today. 12″ on the ground and it’s not expected to stop for a few hours (and it’s 18 degrees)

    1. They did find sun. OMG I would die in 18 degrees. The foot of snow would have to sit there for a while. I can see your blower at work right now. After all Maddie needs a business run. Keep those ears covered, 🥶

  21. Nothing like some time with Twiggy & Lucy to start my day off right! They almost make me want another dog. Not quite, you understand. But ALMOST. 😀

    Granny sends ear scratches. Hope they find a warm, sunny spot soon!

      1. We got the northern edge as it passed through. Now we have our own lake effect. We are not getting anything like the east coast is getting. The ground is still warm enough that it self cleaned the pavement. Still have a couple inches on the yard.

  25. Twiggy is NOT still focusing on Lucy’s weight, is she?? I can see where these two would complain about 48-degree weather. They’d really hate it here, where it was 30 this morning! Have they tried curling up in a sunny, south-facing window … inside?!!
