“Hey Twiggy. Are we playing with Be Mine today?”
“I don’t know. I thought it would be a good idea, but..”
“But what? You love Be Mine.”
“Yeah, I do, but usually we pay inside and there is something off about outside.”
“Okay, go inside, and I’ll bring Be Mine in.”
“Thanks, Dad. I’ll make the play-no-play decision when we get in there.”
“Well, there it is. You want me to toss it or something?”
“Thanks for bringing it in. I’m having a little crisis of toy play.”
“Crisis? How could you possibly have a crisis over toys?”
“Well, let me ask. Have you ever had some indecision over your writing?”
“Sure I have. Now that you mention it, some crisis, too.”
“So there you have it. Writing is important to you, and toys are important to me.”
“Never thought of it that way. So what are you doing about it.”
“I’m coming over to sit with you and take a few minutes to think.”
“What conclusion have you come to?”
“There is something about Be Mine. An aftertaste, maybe.”
“Do we need to replace Be Mine?”
“Hummm. That might be a little drastic.”
“So what do you think we should do?”
“Well, Be Mine is one of my favorites after all.”
“That’s true.”
“Do they make a bacon spray?”

My dogs would love bacon spray, or better yet, chicken spray. Maybe then they would play with that basket full of toys. Have a great day Twiggy. Xo
