Thursday – Anything Possible – Twiggy and Tempeste In and Out

~ John W. Howell

“It’s a beautiful day. You two should be outside”

“Twiggy, you hear anything?”

“Just Dad.”

“Well, Tempeste, I guess we had better listen.”

“I agree, Twiggy. Besides, who can sleep with that racket going on?”

“Wait up. What’s the rush?”

“I want to see if that monster dog is out. I could use a good bark.”

“Since it is so quiet, my guess is the monster dog is not out.”

“Nope. Looks like he is in the house.”

“Where are you going now?”

“Although it is nice outside, I sorta want to play with a new toy Mom got me.”

“Correction. We both got a new toy.”

“Yeah, you are right. We each got one. I just take gifts like that as a personal expression.”

“I can understand that. I always feel good with a new toy.”

“It makes us both feel good, then.”

“Well, are you going to play with it?”

“You have to hide your eyes. I don’t want you to know where I stashed it.”

“For heaven’s sake, Tempeste, I’m not going to mess with your stupid toy.”

“You going for Marshmallow again?”

“I like marshmallow. The new toy is fun, but Marshmallow is my go to toy.”

“Where is your new toy?”

“I hid it.”

“See. And you called me out for doing the same thing.”

“Age has its privileges.”

  4. Monster dog? I hope it’s a friendly monster. There are four of those next door, a Great Dane and three progressively “smaller.” Even if there’s no barking, I smell the “evidence” every time I go outside… 💩

    Thanks for this fun visit with the girls, John. Hugs.

        1. It has two strings with knots at the end. She likes to hold the toy and pull on the strings. When she was a puppy, she had a toy watermelon that had the same kind of string. Must remind her of that. 😊

  18. Those two little matching beds…❤️ Tempeste had quite to a lot to say today, what with monster dogs, personal expression, and her secret stash. 😆 They are so much fun.

  29. You two are having a blast toying around with each other!

    It’s Thanksgiving here, and I’m behind blogging. Say Hi to dad, and I might not get to all the posts this week.

      1. Oh, age! Older we are, more stable we are in our affections. A good Italian joke on this topic came to my mind:

        The son asks the father:
        -Father, what kind of women are the most faithful: blonde or brunette?
        – Grey-haired, my son. Grey-haired ones.
