Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Tempeste On a Rainy Day

~ John W. Howell

“Tempeste. What are you doing?”

“Looking for crumbs.”

“You have to believe there are none around here.”

“So I’m finding out. I’ll keep looking, though.”

“Suit yourself. Believe me, I’ve been over this place with a fine-toothed comb.”

“Fine-toothed comb? What’s that supposed to mean?”

“I’ve looked carefully, and there are no crumbs.”

“Shoot. There goes the morning.”

“Where you going?”

“Since It’s raining, maybe a nap would be good.”

“That does seem like a good idea.”

“Um. I’m not so sure. This bed is not very cozy.”

“May not be cozy, but it sure is soft.”

“Yeah, I can feel that. Maybe too soft.”

“How could a bed be too soft?”

“Sometimes, when I sleep wrong, I get a crick. I think it is from a soft bed.”

“I have never heard of sleeping wrong, let alone a crick.”

“You have to believe that it happens to me.”

“You kids these days. A crick, indeed. Follow me.”

“Where are we going?”

“To my nice Serta Perfect Sleeper dog bed. It is a no-crick zone.”

“You would let me use your bed?”

“We can’t have you going around with a crick.”

“You’re the best.”

  12. So funny. I’d never heard of a crick until I moved down south. Ya’ll are so cute, Tempteste. Just be careful when they start talking about ‘fixin’ a pallet.’ 😬😆

  13. Such an understanding big sister, you are Twiggy. Glad that sometimes Tempeste is not too bitey and you let her share the Serta Perfect Sleeper dog bed!

  14. Aw, that last picture, John, I am so glad the two of them are getting along. Not so with Garfield and our new cat Samantha. Samantha is a lot like Tempeste – she eats anything and everything. We have to hide Garfield’s food. And a good day is when there’s only one hissing and spitting a swiping fight! They both are territorial and Samantha is aggressive. Samantha may end up living with my grandson! 😦

  18. That is so cute!! Twiggy is a thoughtful big sister. Dot ripped off her dew claw and was laying on the couch feeling sorry for herself, while Lia was running around causing havoc in the living room. So Lia brought Dot’s ball to her and laid it beside her. Honestly, these kids. ❤️🐶

  24. Twiggy should come out with a whole line of dog accessories starting with a fine-toothed cone. I can just see her face on the cover. 😊

  25. That last picture was the perfect way to summarize their discussion today, John. I will have a smile on my face the rest of the day, and please thank Twiggy and Tempeste for that…ok, you get some credit as well. 😊

  33. Tempeste looks like Monk. He, too, is constantly searching for crumbs. I keep reminding him there are NO crumbs on the floor, but he doesn’t believe me. Maybe Twiggy would be able to convince him??

  44. Aww, WoW!

    Twiggy and Tempeste, you are a beautiful team! I love it.

    Tell dad I’ll be back after dinner. My Art Gown post occupied me for days.
