Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Tempest at Play

~ John W. Howell

“Hey Twiggy. Looks like a great day. Let’s go out and play.”

“Good deal. I’m going to get my hat.”

“Where’s the hat?”

“It’s on the top shelf. Watch that toy, it may bounce.”

“Darn it. Got away from me.”

“I could have predicted that.”

“Got it now, though.”

“Good grief. It is still a fielding error.”

“I wonder if I should carry this thing to the goal line.”

“What do the rules say?”

“Good point. I think I’m supposed to kick it.”

“So you put it in your mouth.”

“I’m just getting it lined up.”

“Says the dog who puts everything in its mouth.”

“Okay, now all I have to do is get a running start and kick it.”

“That goal is pretty far. Which leg are you going to use?

“I used my right rear and scored a goal. Come on and play.”

“I think it would be hard to beat you. Toss it here.”

“Okay. Your turn to kick it.”

“Can’t you put it on the turf?”

“Why?”

“You’ve had your mouth on it, and I can see it’s wet.”

“You’ll never make the pros.”

  12. I look forward to seeing these two every week! Tempeste is being Tempeste – I congratulate Twiggy for not wanting to handle something Tempeste has slobbered over! Such fun!

  16. Twiggy effectively demonstrates mature, measured, and appropriate leadership, much like the noted statesman, D. Gobblet. John, please give Twiggy an extra cookie. 👍

        9. One time I took a trip with my kids and forgot a swimsuit. It was after store hours when we checked into the hotel, so I had to buy a Speedoo in the hotel shop. The kids laughed me out of the pool. They thought it was hysterical.

  26. It seems like they get along very well. So glad that Twiggy has a wonderful sibling, though Tempeste will never be able to replace Lucy.

        1. It is pretty quiet, but they hear it just fine. The American paratroopers used them on D-Day so they could find each other without being too intrusive.

  37. So, the ball is wet now. Maybe give it to dad, and he can blow dry it?

    You know Tempeste, Twiggy might never make the pros as a player, but she’d make a fab referee.

    What do you say, Twiggy?

    Is dad going to dry the ball?

    1. Miss Resa, Dad says it needs to dry on its own. Otherwise, he must wash it before putting it in the dryer. He’s afraid it would take the essence of Tempeste away. I’m good with that myself.. I can be a referee. Watch. That’s it, a five-yard penalty for excessive spit. There, how was that? 😀X 😀X

      1. The essence of Tempeste… interesting eau de toilette.
        You make a great ref Twiggy. Maybe dad can get you one of those b&w tops?

        Spit penalties, eh. Well, it’s a dogs world. Just don’t spit in the cups!

  39. “Right rear” set me thinking. When playing football (soccer) these guys have to choose from one of four legs to kick the ball. Humans have it easy, have to choose between only two. Even more respect!
