Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy and Twiggy Look for the Sun.

~ John W. Howell

“Where you off to Little One?”

“I’m trying to see if I can locate some sunshine.”

“Having any luck?”

“Look at my ears. They’ll tell you I’m not.”

“I don’t know what to say. But, sometimes in life, a little rain must fall.”

“after all that cold weather, not today.”

“You can still layout on the lounge.”

“What’s the point? Lay there and be sprinkled on?”

“Well, okay, I see you are determined to be miserable.”

“It’s not that. I was just looking forward to a nice sunbath.”

“And I have been waiting for a T-Bone steak. Sometimes we get disappointed.”

“Where you going?”

To find some positivity.”

“Hey, wait. There is a UPS truck pulling up.”

“Well done on the UPS truck. I think he is in St Louis by now.”

“You were right. A little positivity goes a long way. Nothing like a bark-a-thon to set the day right.”

“you feel better?”

“On top of the world.”

  3. Poor things. I think you should play some Annie for them. You know… “the sun will come out tomorrow.” That’s going to be my philosophy for today, too. We’ve got the dismal gray stuff and rain. At least it’s better than the cold (thinking positive as Lucy says!).

  9. I think all of us need a bark-a-thon. Maybe even a howl-a-thon. Yep, the world would be a better place if we followed Twiggy and Lucy. 😁

    1. I could see running out to the edge of the Grand Canyon and doing a ten minute howl. I’ll bet that would release some tension for sure. Thanks, Gwen. Maybe someday I’ll be able to do that. 😁

  17. We just have to convince Twiggy that doing without now and again makes us appreciate it all the more when we do get it… though I suspect that will fall on deaf ears…

  21. The Twiggy Resort is already celebrating spring. Poor Twiggy, more mature she is more she realizes that the life is not always sunshine. As it is sung: “I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden”…😂😂😂 I wish you more wonderful spring days, dear John! 🌭🍔🍤🍤🍤🍻

        2. They’re everywhere! They’re everywhere! You should see the dog poops around our neighborhood, especially as the snow melts. Our Daisy does 99% of her poops in our yard because she’s been trained on a schedule to go out for a poop run a little while after she eats,?twice a day. Otherwise, we always carry a poop bag. Last summer, there was a ‘poop’ war on our neighborhood Facebook page. Some neighbors were really going at it. I actually enjoyed the back & forth, as a ‘spectator’. When people get riled up, they be one creative writers😂. Goodnight, John.

        4. Exactly. Now, I’m not a fan of putting my hand in a bag and snatching it off the ground, but it has to be done. Which is why in ‘invented’ the ‘poo-poo platter’. No, not the one you find on certain menus. I’m talking a ‘collection’ system so the poop never touches the ground. I write about it and will find it. Quite proud of myself…

        7. I loved the story, Steve. Both Twiggy and Lucy are a bit shy when it comes to pooping. I think they would not like me getting close enough to insert a platter. Sounds like a great idea though.😁

        8. John, not a piece of poop has touched my grass since my ‘invention’ unless I don’t bend over quickly enough…and that’s problematic 😂. The problem is that NY banned the small plastic bags used in grocery stores so I need to come up with something new. 🤓

        10. Actually, I thought about cutting a paper bag to lay across the cover. Not sure if it would stay in place or how folding it would be when she’s done. Keep your brainstorming coming. Who knows, we might become business partners on this. Remember, Col Sanders didn’t make it until he was along in years. And, John, you and I are along in years…which is why we have time for crazy idea😂🥸😂😎.

  23. Best line ever — “And I have been waiting for a T-Bone steak. Sometimes we get disappointed.”

    ‘Tis easy to be disappointed on a gloomy, gray day, girls. Hang in there. The sun will be back. At least you don’t have snow! Love, Monkey

  31. A sunbath vs. a T-bone. I know which way I’m going. Our dog has a love affair with the UPS driver. She climbs in his truck and usually ends up with a dog biscuit.

  37. Oboy, a UPS truck!!!
    What did we get?
    Is there a nice big box?
    Do dogs like boxes, or is that just a cat thing?
    I saw a wonderful report on UPS drivers and the dogs that love them. Will Twiggy and Lucy be in one of those reports?
    What, what what… woof!?!?
    Did the sun come out?
