Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy – New Years Eve

~ John W. Howell

“What are you doing, Twiggy?”

“I thought I would wake Lucy, and we could go outside and play.”

“Come on, you and I will go out.”

“You want to run and let me chase you?”

“I’m pretty sure you could catch me in an instant.”

“Okay. There was a ball down there last time I checked. We could play ball.”

“Good idea. The ball is right behind you.”

“I’m not talking about the soccer ball. There is a green ball.”

“I don’t see a green ball.”

“Well, see that is the ball Lucy and I like to play with. Why won’t she come out?”

“It is New Year’s Eve, and Lucy is resting up for the big show.”

“Show? What show?”

“At midnight, there is a big ball that drops in Times Square, signaling that a New Year has arrived.”

“Can’t people just look at their watch to know it is after midnight? Okay, throw the soccer ball, and I’ll chase it.”

“Hmmm. Come to think about it, that is some distance. If I’m going to stay up till midnight, I will need to rest too.”

“So you aren’t going to get the ball.”

“Nah. I think I’ll join Lucy.”

Twiggy and Lucy

“Well I hope you rest up you two. We certainly want to make sure 2020 is gone.”

  5. Hi,
    I like Twiggy and Lucy. Words of wisdom from dog with a good eye for what really matters. Great dialogue, John. I am still smiling.
    Have a great crossover with Twiggy and Lucy.

  9. I can’t think of anything better than watching Lucy and Twiggy chase 2020 right out of the yard. My favorite card this year carried an old Texas suggestion to 2020: Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!

  13. Haha. Lucy has the right idea, John. But I’m with you about making sure this year gets gone. This week I’ve found myself wishing folks a “happy end of the year” rather than a slightly early “Happy New Year,” and it just feels right to do that. So, for one more day, happy end of the year, my friend! Hugs on the wing.

  23. I like the way the girls think! Dot is resting up as well. Too many fireworks for her so is sticking close to us on the couch. Maybe she will get a sister in the New Year. Happy New Year to you and your family!

  26. I’m with the girls. I’ve rested up to make sure 2020 leaves and shuts the door firmly behind it. May 2021 bring you and your family much joy:)

  27. So many lessons from your two girls here. Why chase the ball when it’s so far away? Naps are good for the body and the soul. I’m going to guess that the ball comes down at midnight while I get my beauty sleep so I’m ready to celebrate the new year tomorrow. With a walk around the block and a good meal in front of the fireplace. 🙂 Happy New Year, John.
