Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy Gets Two Baths

~ John W. Howell

“Hey Twiggy. Whatcha doing?”

“I’m thinking about a sunbath.”

“That sounds great.”

“Yeah, the temperature is below blowtorch. The sun feels good.”

“Sure looks comfortable.”

“Ahh, this is the life.”

“Looks like you shifted.”

“Need a little shade for my face. A girl has to watch her complexion.”

“I didn’t know that was a consideration.”

“Well, one can’t be too careful.”

“How do you find out about things like complexion?”

“I do my research.”

“Well, let me say I’m impressed.”

“You have to stay up with things these days. Did I just hear Mom calling?”

“Yeah, I heard it.”

“She’s not calling from the patio to join her under the umbrella.”

“No, it sounds more like she’s calling from inside.”

“I guess I better find out what she wants.”

“Did you find out what Mom wanted?”

“Look at me. I’m soaking wet.”

“Ah, bathtime.”

“You coulda told me.”

“That would have been a lose-lose move.”

  5. So nice that the weather is finally cooperating. Sorry she didn’t like the second of her baths. Sending her belly rubs to help her through the turmoil. Thanks for the smiles, John.

  13. Apparently bathtime for Twiggy is equivalent to what getting Dixie Rose into her carrier used to be: an event requiring the kind of planning generally associated with complex military campaigns. Or a lot of sneakiness.

  21. Poor Twiggy. I’d have thought a nice bath would’ve felt good after soaking up all that sunshine (but I guess I’d have been wrong). At least you can save money on sending her to the groomer’s. With all Monk’s furs, there’s no way I’d try wrestling him into a tub!

      1. The groomer is able to comb out some of his undercoat, making him more comfortable in all this heat. No way I’d consider shaving him down — he’d look like one of those naked mole rats, ha!

  28. Oh, her glace makes me shiver, dear John. There is so deep sadness in it. I’m sure that she thinks about Lucy….Anyway, the sunbath is good. It is a true joy! 🍤🍤🍤🍻😉

  33. Oh, poor Twiggy! From a glorious sunbath to….well, I gather she wasn’t too happy with how things played out, LOL! At least she was rewarded with a toy. I adore that last picture of her. She looks like she needs a hug. Give her one from me! 🤗

  34. Lol!
    Dear Twiggy,
    When I saw 2 baths, I thought – Ohhh noooo! You got sprayed by a skunk!
    It would take at least 2 baths, and you might still be behind the 8 ball of odeurs!
    As is, you’ve had 2 beauty baths.
    The result is – You look simply marvellous!
    Look at it that way, and mention it to dad!

  35. Reading a Hindi novel. Coincidentally, the section I just finished reading mentions an old village woman taking a bath twice a day during the summer months and once in 2 months during the winter. Wondering what is the frequency of Twiggy’s bath during the winter months…
