Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Tempeste Outside.

~ John W. Howell

“Twiggy. Look at all these delicious leaves.”

“Oh no. Tempeste, you leave them alone.”

“I’ll leave them alone. Alone with me in my mouth.”

“You are going to get in so much trouble.”

“Who’s going to know? Unless you tell.”

“I’m not going to tell, but you know those aren’t good for you.”

“Not good for me? Well, I think otherwise.”

“Come up on this porch now.”

“You sounded just like Mom.”

“That was Mom,”

“Oh man, just look out there. And more keep falling.”

“And you will make yourself sick if you keep eating them.”

“Look at this one.”

“Leave it.”

“It’s such a little one. Couldn’t possibly hurt.”

“You are going to develop a leaf dependency if you’re not careful.”

“What a way to go.”

“Oh, brother. You’re hopeless.”

“Okay, I’ll leave them alone.”

“If only.”

  11. Tempeste certainly has a leaf fixation. And Twiggy is being such a good big sister to try to get her to NOT eat them. I suggest leaving a few out there for her to eat but put some hot sauce on them. One taste and she’ll be cured of eating them. We’ve done that with our cats and it worked.

    Belly rubs to both my favorite canine girls!

  12. Tempeste has a leaf fixation as another blogger I follow’s Frenchie has a rock one! Funny how they pick something and, for no good reason, cannot help themselves. Twiggy is going her best but…

  14. I especially liked the first couple of pictures, because they look a bit like the two are walking in parallel worlds. Good to see them back together in the later pictures. 🙂

  18. I’m grateful the Monk doesn’t eat leaves. I can’t imagine they’re good for a pup. Still, after the yard’s mulched, Monk brings itty-bitty pieces of leaves inside with him — attached to his furs — and what a nuisance that is! Almost as aggravating as balls of snow.

  20. “You sounded just like Mom. That was Mom.” Reminds me of a few times when I’ll mention something to Mrs. B I recently heard somewhere that sounded like it came from her…and she’ll calmly point out…it was her.😁

  28. Eating leaves? Yuk! They do have an attraction to dogs. Lucy loves plowing through the piles along the street, even burying her head completely. No, she doesn’t eat them but does enjoy peering on them. Hope those aren’t the ones that drifted south and into your yard.

  31. Hey, John! Have you adopted a vegetarian? 😉 These two are much better than Mr. Bean. You should make video clips of it. For a TV breakfast show. I am sure “T & T – The bombshells of Lakeway” could make it. :-)) Best wishes for a nice weekend! xx Michael

  33. I’ve never seen a dog eat leaves before! The grass/flowers/rocks yes. Our neighbors’ dogs eat the dirt underneath the grass because it’s really hidden bunny turds. Yuuckk. Don’t tell Twiggy. She’ll give Tempeste a huge lecture!
