Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Lucy Visit No Dog’s Land

~ John W. Howell

“Lucy. What are we doing back here in no dog’s land?”

“I thought we should get out more and see new things.”

“Yeah, but we never come to this part of the yard.”

“You have to ask yourself why.”

“No, I don’t. I know why.

“Okay, want to fill me in?”

“This part of the yard is filled with nothing but ghosts.”

“Ghosts? Listen to yourself. There’s no such thing as ghosts.”

“You can believe that if you want to, but I know different.”

“You do, eh? Well, tell me what you know.”

“Late at night, when no one is around, I see a weird light back there.”

“Weird light? Oh, you must mean the camera.”

“Camera? What the heck is a camera doing back there?”

“It’s a security camera for the gate back there. The light comes on when there is movement.”

“Ah ha. And just what moves in the middle of the night?”

“The wind blows the trees, and they move. The camera reacts to the trees.”

“So you are saying there is nothing else causing the light to come on.”

“That is what I’m saying.  Ask mom if you don’t believe me.”

“I wonder if mom ever saw a ghost on the camera?”

“Oh that would be a good question to ask her. I think your answer would be a fast trip to the feelings doctor.”

“Still wouldn’t it be great if she got an image of one.”

“You’ll never know till you ask. By the way keep me out of it.”

  2. Inquiring minds what to know…. but what if they find out there ARE things besides the wind out there? I dunno… best let sleeping dogs lie…
    Happy Thursday!

  7. I can see the girls doing a paranormal show–believer and skeptic debating the “evidence” on the recordings, both staying up late to monitor what the camera catches. If not a ghost, I wonder if there are pumas sneaking into the yard. Good thing Twiggy’s on the case.

    Belly rubs to both of them. Thanks for a fun morning, John.

    1. Our yard is fenced in such a way that the critters don’t think it worthwhile to enter. Our front camera picks up skunks, possums, fox, cats, dogs, peacocks, deer, lizards. That camera in the side yard is focused on the gate but the swaying trees to cause it to trip the security light.

  17. John, I love their conversations — and the terms you come up with for them. LOL, feelings doctor… (My therapist spent 4 years, trying to make me mad. When she finally succeeded, I’m pretty sure she regretted it. LOL) Hugs.

  24. I wonder if Ghostbusters is still in business? Bill Murray and the girls would all get along, and he’d make them laugh while he looked for ghostly clues. I’d bet he’d charm Mom too.

    I love the repartee between them, how they volley back and forth…along with that lovely expanse of green.

    Makes a girl just want to play a round of golf. 🙂

  29. I’d never considered swaying trees as the cause of activating the security camera, John. Somehow, I thought it might be from squirrels (but I suspect the girls would’ve chased all them off, huh?)

  33. Hahaha. Funny, but it’s true. We’ve had a ghost of sorts coming through the alley of my neighborhood. Wouldn’t you know now everyone has motion lights and cameras. I’ve had many of them assure me I’ll be fine since their camera picks up parts of my yard based on their house placement. Oh, goodie. I’ve always wanted to be on camera. Not. Ugh. And heaven forbid I take the trash out after dark. Those lights pop on from a distance. We aren’t living very close together either. Crazy. Lol

    1. We have ours aimed at our yard only. The front one does pick up the whole drive but it still does not pick up any neighbors houses. I would hate someone putting a camera on me.

  36. Okay girls, that no dogs land is spooky.
    Don’t go there at night!
    I’d like to add, mom would never see a ghost on the camera. You can’t see ghosts. So, there could still be one!
    Okay tell dad to OXen up!

        2. Yes, he’s hard to beat, and he’s not going anywhere.
          Unfortunately he tried to nest in the mini corral for the mini OXen, and crushed it. He’s currently still sleeping on it.
          OXen are not known for their mental acumen.
          I’ve got the mini OXen in an empty drawer for the time being.
          The large OXen are staging a protest against Big Boy moving in with them.

          Never a dull moment!
