Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Tempeste

~ John W. Howell

 

“What are you doing over there, Twiggy?”

“Mom went out that door, and I’m waiting for her return.”

“I don’t know, but I think it could be a while.”

“What makes you say that?”

“Um, she took the car keys.”

“Yeah, good point. You playing with fish?”

“Yeah, I love this stupid thing.”

“How’s Frog Dog doing?”

“He’s okay. I just want to play with fish.”

“I understand. I think I’ll check out unicorn.”

“They are all in that rainbow as far as I know.”

“You’re right. I can see that they are all in place.”

“Why don’t you pull ’em out and toss ’em?”

“These guys are not as easy as they look. You have to pull them by their horn.”

“Oh, come on. Big hunter like you. Just pull ’em.”

“See that little white thing? It’s in there feet first.”

“You can do it anyway.”

“I hadn’t planned on a complex game right now.”

“Well, as soon as I’m finished eviscerating this fish, I’ll give you a hand.”

“I’ve seen you take hours on that. I’ll just rest here till you’re done.”

“More in your wheelhouse.”

“Watch it, kid.”

  13. Car keys are a definite sign that it might be a while before Mom comes home, but the girls are coping well with their toys. Of course, Dad is ready to play – aren’t you? 😊

  17. I was just thinking it would be nice to sit on a dock and fish with my dog for company. Tempeste gets it. Or I thought she did. Then I got to the “eviscerating” part. lol

    Ear scratches to both of them. Thanks for the smiles, John.

  25. Monk loves those toys-within-toys! He’s got two of them and after the first couple of times for practice, he’s got the removal down pat. I love Tempeste talking about eviscerating the fish!

  37. Twiggy, your rainbow game toy looks fun. Is it new?

    Does Tempeste like the fish so much because it smells like fish?

    I know cats would love a fishy fish.

    You guys sure live in a nice place.

    Say Hi to dad!

    1. It is not new Miss Resa. My mom puts toys away since she thinks we get tired of them. She then brings them out when we are at a loss for things to do. Tempeste does love that fish. It was part of the rotating stock and for some reason for the last two days she has been nuts about it. It has a motor which mom took out cause it scared us with all that flopping. Now it is a flat fish. I don’t think it smells like fish. Cats would love the fish for sure. We do live in a nice place. I’m surprised no one has mentioned the fact that the dining room chairs are missing. It seems Miss Tempeste goes under them and rips off tags and stuff. Mom decided the chairs come out when they eat dinner and Tempeste is in her playpen for a nap. Otherwise they are stored away. Lucky they are on rollers cause it’s a pain to bring them out and then put them back. Mom says it will only be until Temperste gets through puberty whatever that is. Dad says Hi. OX OX OX OX

      1. Ahh, I thought the place looked more spacious than usual. I thought – maybe the angle on your beds was why.

        Tempeste must be getting close to puberty, she’s getting loooong, and then she’ll grow more up, I think.
        So, Maybe 6 more months?

        Oh dear, will she have to go to the vet then?
        Will Tempeste have puppies?

        Wow, so much going on where you live.
        Okay, chat later, and have a good sleep in you neat bed!
