Twiggy celebrated her Eighth birthday on Tuesday. Here she is with her present. Looks like she might have been expecting a treat instead but it was a good day.
Let’s join Twiggy and Tempeste outside.
“So twiggy. How’s that sun?”
“It’s delightful.”
“I have trouble just lying around like that.”
“Yeah, but you and I are different.”
“Well, that’s for sure.”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m going to look for a toy so we can play.”
“What makes you think I want to play?”
“Well, it is a beautiful day and thought we could play.”
“I agree it is a beautiful day. I want to lie in the sun.”
“While you are lying there, what am I going to do?”
“You know, sometimes you just have to be alone and entertain yourself.”
“Entertain myself? What fun is that?”
“It may not sound like fun now, but think of something you would enjoy.”
“I do enjoy chasing a ball by myself. Maybe I’ll do that.”
“There you go. Find a ball and chase it.”
“I haven’t seen one for a while.”
“Go check out the entire yard.”
”
“Good idea. I’ll check every corner.”
“Sounds like a plan.”
“I’ll try the far side.”
“Great.”
“Are you watching me, Twiggy?”
“Uh Huh. Got my eyes on you.”
“Looks like you’re sleeping to me.”
“How could I possibly sleep?”

I guess it would be hard to put a birthday candle in a piece of kibble, but that looks like one fine present. And what’s better than being allowed to do exactly what you want to do on your birthday — that is, nap in the sun?
