Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy See Something New

~ John W. Howell

“What the heck is that, Lucy?”

“I don’t know Little One. Looks like a toy.”

“What’s a toy doing in the backyard?”

Yeah, that is a good question. Smells like a toy.”

“You think Dad dropped it here?”

“I don’t see him but I wouldn’t be surprised.”

“Why would he do that?”

“Maybe to take photos of us wondering how the thing got here.” You know how he is on Thursday.”

“I can tell you, this is not something I would play with at all.”

“You have to wonder sometimes. Our parents seem tone deaf when it comes to certain toys.”

“That is some kind of flower or something and I’m not going to jump at the bait.”

“You know it could be an agave. You know how dad is about margaritas.”

“We are a couple of dogs. I wouldn’t be caught dead playing with an agave.”

“I’m sure dad meant well. But I think you’re right.”

“I’m chalking that up to a toy fail. I think I’m going to tell mom.”

“Okay, but be careful. She may have a hand in it too.”

“Good point. Maybe they’ll get the hint when the thing sits there a while.”

“Yeah, a good old passive-aggressive move for sure.

  3. I’ve never known “passive-aggressive” to be so funny. I loved this Thursday’s lesson, John! Enjoy your weekend, and I hope the little monsters who tap on your door are pup-friendly. 🎃

  7. Oh dear! Looks like this is a toy that will stay in the toy box. We have a box full of them as our dogs have decided it’s better to play with chunks of palm tree instead of their many toys. Sigh.

  20. I bet if you had put the box the toy came in out there, they’d have been overjoyed. Kids and pets…

    Sending the girls ear scratches AND belly rubs. Seems they need some extra attention today after the toy disappointment.

  22. Yep, we’ve all been there, John. One dog’s trash is another’s treasure though. Probably a good time to round up the misfits and make a donation at the animal shelter!

  28. ” I beg your pardon, I never promised you an agave garden…”, Lucy & Twiggy are conservative about the dog toys. 😂😂😂 In fact, what is this orange object supposed to be, dear John?

  39. Toy fail?
    Well, he tried!
    Twiggy, Lucy – does dad at least get an F for effort?

    Although, an Agave? What was he thinking? Now, if it was a real Puma or a Water Buffalo , that would be cool!
