Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy Playtime.

~ John W. Howell

Twiggy is playing by herself today. Lucy is fine but is sleeping and needs her rest. We didn’t want to wake her just for photos.

“Why so glum, chum?”

“Having to play alone is a challenge.”

“You know Lucy needs her rest.”

“I know she needs her rest, but still, it’s more fun with her.”

“Well, you can make due. How about playing with Piggy? She’s new.”

“Yeah, well, we were playing, and all of a sudden, Piggy decided to nap too.”

“Wake her up. She doesn’t need beauty rest.”

You are pretty funny, Dad. She isn’t really asleep. I just got tired of playing with her. So I think I’ll get chuck-it.”

“Now that’s a good idea. You can chase Chuck-it around the house.”

“Humm. All of a sudden, Piggy seems like a better idea.”

“Why? You love to chase Chuck-it.”

I think it might wake Lucy.”

“Aren’t you sweet?”

“Mmmft. tay wizeit parfet.”

“What?”

“Sorry, I said I need to move it to the carpet.”

“Oh. Hard to understand when it’s in your mouth.”

“Yeah. Now that it’s here. I’m not so sure.”

“Well, you’ll have to make a choice. Want me to throw one of them?”

“Hey, that would be great. Toss Piggy, and I’ll fetch her.”

“Happy now?”

“Oh yes. Keep tossing her.”

“Wait a minute, I didn’t sign up for that.”

“But you’ll do it, right?”

“Yeah, of course.”

  12. So sweet of Twiggy to let Lucy rest. But you know once you’ve started a game of fetch-it, there’s no stopping until one or the other of you gets exhausted! Hugs to Lucy and Twiggy and some good ear scritches.

  24. Awww… good thing she has Dad to play with. And she is growing up and maturing when she can understand Lucy needing her rest. Sending extra hugs to you all.

  27. LOL, there’s always more to play than humans sign up for.
    Daphne has invented Sling the Ring. She slides a plastic bottle/jug ring under the door and waits for me to sling it back. She’s also taught it to Velma, although they don’t play it against one another — they both play against me. The trouble is, the door in question is to the bathroom, immediately beside the toilet. There is absolutely NO going to the toilet in peace for the human.
    Hugs to all of you. ❤

  28. I sense a lengthy bout of piggy-tossing, John. 🙂

    I love that Twiggy is so thoughtful of Lucy. That third picture up from the bottom is so cute it makes my heart ache!

      1. Oh John. I am so sorry. She’s such a sweetheart I can see. That is sad for you and your family, including the Twigs. Poor Lucy. I am glad she can sleep.

  31. They are sooo good at getting us to play with them, however much we’ve got to do, huh? Awfully good of Twiggy to understand her Big Sis needs to rest more these days. Hope Lucy is doing well!

  35. You know you’ll keep throwing it, John. That’s your job. They love getting a new toy (let’s not count) to add to the basket. Sending hugs for Lucy and everyone who cares for her, including Twiggy.

  36. Oh, Piggy is a new Resort star! She is so pretty! Twiggy seems to be dull without Lucy as no human can exchange a dog in her activities. Thank you for the report. dear John! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🍤🍤🍤🍻

  39. Twiggy, I just want you to know that you are a total doll not wanting to wake up Lucy.
    I think you made the right choice in the end. The “Piggy Toss” is the latest rave, and will help keep dad in shape. You’ll have fun playing it for hours and hours!
