Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy Gets Her Wish – Tempeste Is Here

~ John W. Howell

“Okay, Tempeste. We need to start some instruction today.”

” I’m so glad you are going to teach me.”

“Hmmmm. I’m wondering about you.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, was that statement sincere, or are you trying to butter me up?”

“Gee, I don’t even know what buttering you up means.”

“Okay, I’ll accept that. I think you might be too young to be political.”

“Is that a good thing?”

“Believe me, it is a perfect thing.”

“So you’ll teach me what I need to know?”

“Yes, but first a pact. You do as I say, right?”

“Of course I will.”

“Great. Now we can start. Where are you going?”

“I thought I would try these black thingys.”

“These are several lessons off. Let’s start with the game-playing basics.”

“That sounds good to me. Let’s begin at the beginning.”

“Yeah, that’s what basics mean. Okay, this is a play bow.”

“That looks friendly. How’s mine?”

“It looks good. Now, we choose your animal. I’m a vicious puma, and you are a panther.”

“You do look vicious. Is the panther vicious, too?”

“OMG, I would say the panther could be even more vicious than the puma.”

“I like the feeling. Grrrrrrrrrr.”

“You are going to be fun.”

Here is a close-up of Tempeste. She was in her puppy mill mama, which Dog Ranch Rescue in Anna, Texas, saved from that situation. She is a brindle French Bulldog, eight weeks old, and born in freedom. Her mom has a forever home as well. The producer picked her up on Saturday. She lives up to her name and has us all wrapped around her paw.

  9. It looks like this canine form of ebony and ivory are going to live in perfect harmony, too. Congrats! Now, the question: how long until the tempest tries to break a twig?

  11. My heart is all aflutter. She is adorable, and now Miss Twiggy can call the shots. (Like she didn’t try to do that before, anyway.) So happy to celebrate your newest edition with you. Congratulations! Sending the puma and panther lots of belly rubs and ear scratches.

  16. OMG, John, she is so cute. That face is irresistible. I think she and Twiggy are going to be great together – Twiggy will be a terrific older sister. How nice they are already Puma and panther! 😉

  20. I am just over the moon. How wonderful for all of you, not just Twiggy, and a rescue, the best way to honor the late loving Lucy.

    I am so pleased, and a little selfishly so since those future posts will be like Lucy and Ethel. Congratulations John. 🙂

        8. Of course it will. That little Frenchie just arrived. Who knows, Twiggy might be feeling a little guilty about Lucy. Animals I’m convinced, feel a lot what we feel. She might be feeling disloyal, but Nature always takes care of its own. 🙂

  22. Little “Temp” is really cute but it may take a while until “The Twister” feels that way. Puppies have a way of driving older dogs bannas all they want to do is play. 🐳

  29. Congratulations on the new arrival, John. My thought with “Tempeste” was “Be careful what you manifest with that name!” LOL, but I see your remark about living up to it. I’m sure every storm she brings has gales of happiness.
    Thanks for letting us be part of this, John. Hugs.

  30. I am so happy for all of you! I had hoped Twiggy’s secret wish was for a playmate. Tempeste is adorable, and it warms my heart to know that she has a furever home with you. Thanks for letting us know her mama found one, too.

    Twiggy has a lot to teach. I’m looking forward to all the puma and panther (and Twiggy and Tempeste) interaction. Congratulations, John! 🎉 💕 🤗

  41. You’re kidding me? How can something so cute have her own satellite dishes for ears? Do they breed in WiFi these days? Well done on the rescue. There are some cruel sobs out there.

  46. Yay! Oh John, I am so happy for you, The Producer and Twiggy! What a beautiful addition to your family! (I was sure of it). I so admire you for saving all of your doggies. She’s adorable and will surely keep you on your toes (with a name like that… )

  48. OMG! How did I miss this?? Tempeste is adorable. You will have so much fun with this little one, Twiggy. I’m in love with her already and I can see you all are as well. She will keep you on your toes I think. I look forward to more posts about both of you. xo
