I realized that an e-mail wasn’t sent on a revision I had made to this post. I am republishing the post so that the e-mail subscribers will get a notification. Sorry for any confusion with this situation.
“So Twiggy. It looks pretty wet out here.”
“What’s a little rain?”
“Looks like a lot more than a little.”
“Yeah this is pooling up nicely. We have the tent though.”
“Yes but the wind is blowing pretty good.”
“You are so right. Let’s call it on account of rain.”
“Maybe it will let up?”
“Not a chance. The forecast says all day for this one.”
“I guess well have to play with the toys then.”
“Not that one. It’s too small.”
“How about this one?”
“The snowmen are all out. There is nothing but a crackle sound left.”
“Why don’t you choose one then?”
“The puma has decided to let the toys live.”
“The Panther decides not to let the Puma live.”
“Oh, good. It has been a while.”
“What kind of hold do you call that?”
“It’s my famous step over toe hold.”
“The Panther breaks the hold and pins the Puma.”
“The Puma decides to take a breath before the next move.”
“The Panther doubles down on the hold.”
“The Puma can’t stop laughing cause the Panther is tickling me.”
“Aw, come on. Stay in character.”
“Hard to do when laughing.”
“Try harder.”

They’re so cute. Good thing they’re creative or they’d be so bored inside. Sending them belly rubs and ear scratches to help pass the time.
Hoping the storms aren’t too bad, John.

The game was calleded on account of rain. They’ll have to play a doubleheader tomorrow. Tempeste will be the starting pitcher in game 1, but expect the crafy veteran. Twiggy, to see action as well.

Watching them play is a joy. The Scoobies wrestled several times before they drove me out of bed this morning. Much smaller than Daphne, Velma was the instigator (as usual). That little cuss fights dirty…
Hugs.

I remember when our cats used to rukus. They had so much fun. Stella was like Velma, a dirty fighter. Poor Frankie would lose every time.

Twiggy, you have the best laughing smile.
Great to see you guys playing. Tempeste, you make a brilliant Panther.
If you two got together, maybe you could attack dad? Maybe he could be a Gorilla, or a Rhinoceros? They’re vegetarians, so should be easy.
