“I guess not, huh?”

“No. I’m going to take a look over there.”

“You going after marshmallows again?”

“Yeah, you are right. I’ve about outplayed these.”

“Look at you. You’ve got a macaroon.”

“Um hum. This is a tasty one.”

“The panther steps in to grab the game.”

“The puma does the classic sleight of hand and is now ready for the kill.”

“The panther has to think fast or concede.”

“The puma executes the famous ear hold.”

The panther slips away and goes for the throat.”

“The puma tries hard not to laugh since that is a ticklish spot.”

“The panther cannot help but laugh as well.”

“The puma calls for a time-out.”

“The panther says no dice.”

“The puma does the classic neck. hold.”

The panther goes to the air and shakes off the hold.”

“The puma follows the panther up there.”

The panther says, ‘Let’s call it a draw.'”

“They are calling for rain.”

“Gosh, that changed fast.”

Texas is like that.”

    I am agreeing to Sally`s comment. They should exercise more often, and apply for the next wrestling event. 🙂 Best wishes, Michael

    What a ferocious battle by two of nature’s most majestic warriors. It’s a good thing the photographer was able to capture the paw for paw action!

    It’s like a PPV event. Looks like Twiggy is getting around pretty good these days.

      She is almost 100%. She is taking active interest in toys and doing battle with Tempeste. It has been a long road. Thanks, Craig.

    I think it’s time they have more colorful names like in Pro Wrestling. I have a couple in mind. What to you think ?

      Some do. Most of the stuffed ones don’t.

    Gosh, John, I’m still laughing! That was some serious wrestling, but I liked the photo of them lying side by side on the floor. All they need is a ring to wrestle in. Both girls deserve a belly rub for their performances!

    It’s so nice to see the girls together, John. That they decided to have a physical contest rather than playing with toys is exciting.

    The play-by-play commentary for the Panther vs. Puma match was hilarious! Twiggy and Tempeste really looked like seasoned competitors executing those ear and neck holds. I completely agree with tokragly that they need official pro-wrestling stage names, and like noelleg44 mentioned, a mini wrestling ring is all that’s missing! Both girls definitely earned their belly rubs after that showdown, John!

    I remember flying over West Texas in what seemed like an hour watching the round circles where the water came out. I was impressed when the circle was divided into segments of different crops.
