“Here we are at Kizzy’s house.”
“Oh boy, it has been a while.”
How about you, Tempest? Ready to see Kizzy?”
“”Yeah, I can’t wait to jump on that big ole horse.”
“Okay, kids It’s time to play. Inside or out?”
“You have to be kidding. Inside, of course. It’s 10,000 degrees out here.”
“Hey Tempeste have I ever shown you my lion imitation?”
“No, Kizzy, I don’t think so.”
“Check it out. Grouffffff.”
“You have some serious teeth in there.”
“Twiggy why are you so quiet.”
“Well, for one, I’m a little nervous around lions, and I think you have it.”
“Aw, you know the saying. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. I think I knocked her out”
“Just be careful down there. Lions know how to play possum.”
Whoa, you are right. This one just attacked.”
“You are all mine now, you panther pipsqueak.”
“Twiggy, are you going to help your sister?”
“In a word Dad. Nope.”
“That’s okay, Dad. I got this.”
“Sure you do, ersatz panther. You have a first-course booking on the lion menu.”
“Who you calling ersatz? Come on, big stuff. You want a piece of me?”
“I’ve changed my mind. I think you will be dessert.”
“So Tempeste. After you take care of that lion, I think there is a treat waiting.”
“Yeah, hold on. I’m starting my Panther stalk right now.”
“Well, girls. Did you have fun?”
“We certainly did. Aunt Kizzy is so much fun.”
“How about you, Kizzy?”
“I love it when these guys come to visit.”
“Well, see you next week. Bye now.”

The lion is a handful for the panther … but I couldn’t determine if the puma was pro-lion or Switzerland. A tip of the cap to you for getting the group pose!

“In a word, Dad… nope.” Twiggy’s prudence and Tempeste’s naiveté always result in humorous antics. And the desperate attention of all three at the promise of treats? How well I know that look. Thanks for the smiles, John. Belly rubs to the puplings. (Including Kizzy on the next visit.)

How was Tempeste in the car? She seems to think she’s bigger than she is though, I mean with lion handling and all.
All in all a fab outing. Will you be going back soon?
