Tweet Tales Tuesday Week 181

Freya and Chloe

Yesterday was a bit nerve-wracking because both dogs had to undergo surgery. They had their regular checkup last week, and since they’re getting older, the visit was not as routine as it used to be. Turns out Freya’s mouth is a mess (yes, I’m a terrible mom, but the few times I tried to brush her teeth it was traumatizing for both of us), so she needed a major teeth/gum cleaning and the vet thought she might have to pull some teeth. Even scarier, Chloe had a lump on her leg that the vet was very concerned about. Thinking they might be slightly less scared if they were there together, we decided do both procedures the same morning.
 
Fortunately, everything went well. Freya did not have to have any teeth pulled, so I don’t have to change her name to Toofless. And the vet thinks she removed all of Chloe’s lump, although results from the lab are still pending. After she got home, Freya spent the rest of the day lying around moaning. It was pretty pathetic (and just a little funny). I told her, "Suck it up, buttercup! Your sister had a lot worse done, and she's not complaining." Chloe just sat around with a look on her face like the kid in the Youtube video after the dental procedure, "Is this real life?" My poor silly babies! The picture is from a much happier day.
 
And now here are my 15 Minute Tweet Tales: 
 
7/8 – "Mazel tov." The words burn, forced from my aching heart. I thought he'd eventually realize I was the one, but now he's chained to her.
 
7/9 – She seduced the renowned chef to have nouvelle cuisine at every meal, so she's pissed when he only eats frozen pizzas when not at work.
 
7/10 – Despite her hardened heart, she falls for her john poco a poco. But "Pretty Woman" dreams are dashed when he moves on to younger girl.
 
7/11 – A bite of bagel puts schmeer on her cheek. She leaves it there. She needs to know if he's the type of guy who'll tell her these things.
 
15 Minute Tweet Tales7/12 – If she didn't want tout le monde to know about her third boob, she probably shouldn't have sent a guy she met online a revealing selfie.
 
7/13 – A plus sign appears on the stick, and she starts to cry as a wave of angst overwhelms her. Is the father her husband or his brother?
 
7/14 – Her heart flutters when a hot guy gives her his seat on the crowded bus. Turns out it's a beau geste, since he gets off at the next stop.
 
Play along and write tweet tales for the above words. If you’re willing to share, post them on twitter with the hashtag #15tt or add them below in the comments because I’d love to read them. Any thoughts about this week's tweet tales or #15tt words?
