Thursday – A Little Personal – Twiggy and Tempeste Outside

~ John W. Howell

“So why are some toys out in the backyard?”

“Dad tossed them out here. He said it is cool enough to play in the yard.”

“I don’t remember giving anyone permission to fling Marshmallow into the wilds.”

“Call me crazy, but I don’t think Dad needs permission.”

“I’ll ask you to leave Marshmallow alone.”

“Just taking a sniff. I know it’s your precious pal.”

“So, maybe we can play tug-of-war with Elf.”

“Not sure Elf would like that, but it is a possibility.”

“Okay, I’m coming down.”

“Lookout, world, here comes the sumo wrestler.”

“Alright, so let’s go.”

“Come get Elf.”

“A quick stroll and I will have him.”

“A morning walk, you mean.

“Here he is. Okay, Elf, you are on my team. Where you going, Tempeste?”

“With all the fooling around I have a urge for a nap.”

“Well, that does it. I can’t play tug-of-war by myself.”

“No. You can play with Marshmallow.”

“Maybe a snooze will do you good.”

“Sounds like you don’t approve.”

 

“Who am I to say whether or not you take a nap?”

“That’s true. So what will you do?”

“Hmm. Maybe I’ll go inside and see it I can weasel a treat.”

“Wait. That sounds way more fun than a nap.”

  11. “Lookout, world, here comes the sumo wrestler.”–Tempeste, you say the funniest things!

    Is it cooler in your area? In between the rain, we still have that darn humidity keeping us hot.

  16. Play? Nap? Or treat? Such hard decisions for the morning. 🙂

    I see that you’re looking at yet another scorcher this afternoon, John. Mostly the same here, but today the weatherman is promising less than 96 for a change. Although it’s headed back over 100. I really should have gone to Alaska… Stay safe and well. Hugs.

  33. Big smiles, John. ‘Permission to fling Marshmallow into the wilds’, and ‘Lookout world, here comes the sumo wrestler’ are brilliant and perfect. Please give the girls a big pat from me.

  34. So, that was interesting; Marshmallow to Elf to Treat weaselling.

    Honestly, I was waiting for one of you girls to ask about that metal looking weird thing at the end of the shadowed lawn. What is it? I know it has nothing to do with Fed-Ex, or the whole post would be a bark-off.

    Okay… maybe ask dad for me!

  38. The poor Elf. Looks like Twiggy has too much energy. The Elf itself can`t compense it. You must buy them a treadmill. Best wishes, and put a screen with a jumping cat in front of it. 😉

    Best wishes, Michael
