Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy Observe Tree Trimming

~ John W. Howell

“What do you suppose is going on over there?”

“Sounds like a ruckus, Little One. I’ll go look.”

“What is it, Lucy?”

“Hey, this is a limb that fell. Twiggy, come see.”

“It’s a limb, for sure. Do you think we have beavers around here?”

“Beavers? You have to be kidding me. I don’t think so.”

“What else could take a limb off a tree?”

“I’m not sure how it got here, but I’m sure it’s not beavers. If I were to guess, I’d say dad is trimming the hedge.”

“Oh, come on. My beaver story is much better than that.”

“Well, I think your story is not based on facts.”

“Sounds a lot like fiction to me. Anyway, a lone branch in the yard is a mystery.”

“I will admit it doesn’t seem to be logical just laying there.”

“We need to get to the bottom of this.”

“I don’t know. I’m putting my money on dad the cutter.”

 

“Gives me an idea. Maybe this is good to chew.”

“It certainly is not for chewing. Ech, stop that.”

“I don’t think it tastes so bad. It’s not a bacon-flavored Benebone, but it’s okay. You should try it.”

“Not on your life. Those sticks taste terrible. Especially if they are green.”

“A couple more chews, and I’ll be ready for another branch.”

“Ew. I think I’m going to leave you to it then.”

“Find dad. See if he’s going to cut more.”

  2. Both are great in guarding the yard. 😉 Keeping them busy means the parcels will be delivered faster? Thanks for sharing news about the most beloved Texanians. 🙂 Enjoy a nice week! I hope the weather conditions on your side are acceptable. xx Michael

  13. I’m with the “Ew. I’ll leave you to it” brigade, lols 😂. I hope the yard work goes smoothly and that you and the girls don’t bite off my than you can chew! Have a great day, John 💕🙂

  16. Some sticks just taste better than others. Hope you’re not in a ladder, John. By the way, did you switch to Jetpack from WordPress? And then deleted WP? I switched but haven’t deleted WP. Unsure what quite to do.

  19. A beaver to add to the pumas and water buffaloes? What a great imagination Twiggy has. But if she had a dental procedure, chewing that limb is not good. Once again she ignores Lucy’s wisdom! Belly and ear rubs to both of them!

  24. I like Twiggy’s version, John. Beavers make a better story. Two of our dogs loved to eat sticks. I don’t know what the attraction was, it’s not like we didn’t buy them a gazillion chew toys. Looks like spring has settled in nicely for you.

  26. I’m just happy to hear Twiggy chews on sticks, too! Monkey seems happiest when he’s prancing around with a stick in his mouth, the bigger the better. Why they seem to think they’re edible is beyond me.

      1. Monkey likes all of them, but he seems especially proud when he finds a HUGE one to drag around — which is oh-so-challenging when I’m walking him on his leash!

  33. I think Twiggy is watching too many nature programs. What will she find next? Piranhas in her water bowl? Pterodactyls in the sky? Inquiring minds need to know.

  36. Twiggy is searching for new ecological approaches…a wonderful spring doge quest for the Twiggy Resort. 😂😂😂 I hope she enjoyed the limb, dear John. 🍤🍤🍤🍻

  45. I think their primal urges are taking over. In India, certain tree twigs are chewed on for keeping teeth clean and healthy. The most popular is ‘neem’ which I think is margosa. Its cheaper, healthier and eco-friendlier.
    Take a hint, dad!
