Booming Banter

My Bro is suffering with a bad cold. He’s coughing and spluttering and his voice is all croaky.

Why is it that humans get symptoms like these and dogs don’t.

In my pondering on the subject it struck me that we canines generally exist in environments with just a few other dogs whereas humans are always socializing.

I know there is a thing called kennel cough that is transmitted by Bordetella virus and that my vet shoots me up for it if I ever have to stay at a kennel but of course I don’t do that often.

Medics correct me if I’m wrong but I believe humans aren’t vaccinated for the common cold because it generally isn’t deadly and it mutates so fast a vaccine wouldn’t be effective anyway.

In the end though I put the problem all down to hands. Humans go around shaking them and they touch all sorts of surfaces like door knobs and things like money!

So what to do? Either abandon the bipedal lifestyle or wash those paws over and over again or simply stay home and be with me!

Isn’t it strange this business of changing clocks.

We’ve sprung forward but Europe hasn’t yet so there is only four hours difference now between us and Aunty Carol.

It’s ironic that it always seems to happen on a night when you’re up late. Ma went to the Women’s Club Gala “Dancing with the Stars” last night so we didn’t get to bed till midnight.

So when we woke up just now it was eight already so we couldn’t snooze.

I need my beauty sleep and Ma definitely does so we will just have to have a loooooooooooooog siesta.

For now must rush!!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS. I just knew you couldn’t survive without hearing from me till humpty.

What do you think of my cartoon Kong? Isn’t he just the most handsome critter you ever clapped eyes on.

What I find most attractive it his total and utter dedication to me and my life.

He talks constantly of my beauty. He’s envious of my legs and feet and particularly desirous of my teeth.

Must say I do feel sorry for him that he has to get by on stuff that resembles dust.

Imagine not being able to chew a Nyla. Come to think of that how do you hoomans get by without Nylas.

On that note I’d better let Granny go since it’s about time she stuck her choppers into some toast.

I love y’all and I’ll be thinking of solutions to your problems as I chew my bone tonight.

Don’t ever let it be said that I am anything other than PERFECT!

Howdee cowboys it’s Kong your very own fish in a dish.

Y’all were impressed with the snaps of my beloved and her Dad and that rhinestone Scoob and Granny so I too have got in on the act.

All I did was have Granny send some details on me to ChatGPT.

She told them I lived on the kitchen island and that I was passionate for a Pitty.

Y’all just look at what they came up with.

It’s so true that most days this is what I do swim and swoon.

My Princess sends her hugs and says don’t forget it’s Friday and time to have some fun!

Did you hear it’s World Book Day?

As you know our house is coming down with them thanks to Dad. He’s always got at least a few on the go.

Ma is currently enjoying “Life’s Little Ironies” she loves it because it’s a compilation of short stories.

Thomas Hardy is really great at setting a scene you can almost feel your in it yourself.

Ma sometimes reads the best bits to me but mostly I just sense the story.

What are you reading at present? Let’s share!!

Precious Peeps it’s the PERFECT One here to heave you happily over the humpty.

You know I can never be outdone when it comes to beauty or fashion or new trends as I am a Precious PRINCESS.

Well I got Granny to Chat me up. She used a photo with my Dad just in case you don’t recognize the dude with the sunglasses!

Don’t I look swell?

I’m thinking I may have to put it in a frame and set it in the island by Kong’s dish. That way he’d have me around night and day.

He’s so in love with me and of course I understand why. Who could resist one so wonderful!

Hope that you’re all having as much fun as me. Talk Friday and in the meantime keep up the admiration as I adore it

What a great day we had yesterday. Ma had to go to pick up mail from our old house and she took Jaws and me with her for the ride.

Jaws was so excited when we reached the old street that she jumped from the trunk clean into the front seat.

That’s not the best bit though. We met Aunty Denise and it was just like old times we all went for a good trot together around Cardinal Hill.

Just as we were approaching the hill itself who should show but Remington and his Mom.

The niece was apoplectic with delight at seeing her beau so I had to haul her into heal.

We left a gazillion post on mailboxes and fire hydrants so all our friends knew we’d paid a visit!

It was all so awesome and to be repeated but we were still quite happy to jump in the car and return to the ranch!
