Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Tempeste Miss Our Sister

~ John W. Howell

“So Twiggy. When is Our Sister coming back?”

“It is hard to tell. She lives in Indiana.”

“It was so nice meeting her and playing. I loved her visit.”

“Yes, it is always nice when family comes over, and she is fun.”

“That’s the door she went out.”

“Yes, it is. She just left with Dad.”

“Where is she going?”

“She has a meeting in Dallas, so they are headed to the airport.”

“Airport? I don’t know what that is.”

“Well, they have these things that fly through the air, and people get on them to go to different places. They start at an airport.”

“So, back to my question. When is she coming back?”

“After Dallas, she is going home again. I don’t think she will be back for a while.”

“Well, in that case, I will sit here and wait.”

“I don’t think that is a good idea, Little one.”

“Why not?”

“Well, it takes a lot of time to be human, so it may take a while.”

“Alright then. I’ll just lay here then.”

“I think you will be more comfortable waiting somewhere else.”

“You are the smartest, Twiggy.”

“I certainly try Tempe. I certainly try.”

  16. The Domer just left here, too, and poor Monk moped around all the rest of the day. It’s hard enough dealing with our own blue feelings when the kids leave; watching our pups suffer just makes things that much worse. Hugs to all of y’all, John (and maybe remind Tempe the holidays are right around the corner!)

      1. Talk about exhausting. I’ve been babysitting four long days a week + for five solid months. It’s going to switch to part-time in a couple of weeks YAY! The cats need more attention.

  20. Very sweet story, John. You’ve captured their longing for the fun they had together and added the hope for another visit. I loved the exchange. Bravo! 🐶

  22. Man, that Tempo has been working out …she’s looking like a long, lean, racing machine. Take her to the track…she’ll catch that silly wabbit🐳

  25. My guys love company so much, though they bark like maniacs. They especially love guests who give them snacks. We have one friend who comes for coffee every Friday at one. She goes straight to kitchen for their snacks, then they settle down. She came Thursday this week. We’d forgotten to tell them so they were totally shocked. We’re going to see our grand dogs tomorrow. They always meet us at the door. “What did you bring me?”

  33. Aww! Too cute.

    Twiggy, you and Tempeste are adorable.

    It is really lovely that you share your bed with her.

    Although Tempe does look a tad squished!

    Tell dad I’ll be off line until the evening tomorrow. The cable company is doing expansion upgrades in my hood.

    Okay, thanks!

    1. Dogs do form attachments. Our adult Frenchie and Our Boxer were very close. When the boxer passed our Frenchie stopped eating and was in a bad state. We were very concerned and it took a while for her to finally move on from her loss. Thanks for sharing your comment, John
