Booming Banter

Our Auntie Paula came over yesterday afternoon with a care package for all of us.

There was a delicious pasta dish she’d made along with special sourdough bread and pumpkin cream roll for dessert.

She also brought us flowers and wine for Ma. We tried to kiss her but Ma said no no no!!!

Ma and the Bro let us taste a little of everything. It was so yummy

We all enjoyed very much.

As the new week begins I’m conscious that Ma has a lot to do sorting through all Dads papers.

He sure did love to keep records and I don’t mean LPs.

Ma is finding things from twenty years ago but she can’t find the things she really needs.

Nerves were a little frayed yesterday afternoon to the point that I thought I saw stream coming out of her ears.

She made it very clear to me and Nala that our presence among the papers was not preferred.

She closed the door on us but I lay outside it so she felt my good vibes.

It did the trick she survived.

We have some very happy news for you. We have a new baby in the family.

He was born three days ago in Dubai and is the first child of our cousin Aditya and his wife Shruti.

He doesn’t have a name yet that will be given at his naming ceremony next week so for now he’s just our bitty baby.

Isn’t he just the cutest little cuddly you’ve ever seen.

Look at all that thick black hair and the way he is holding his little hands up to his ears.

He looks so happy and healthy and peaceful.

He’s giving us such a good feeling we just had to share so your Sunday is brighter too.

Blessing#2891-New Life

You know that like most critters we often talk about the weather. It’s either the storms or the rain or the heat or the cold we’re moaning about. Well here’s a thing there is a new movie out about weather too.

Auntie Lorraine and Uncle Michael went to see it in the cinema this week and said it was great.

The Bro found it streaming on Peacock so we all watched it last night.

It really is gripping. It’s a true story about the forecasting of the weather for the D-Day Landings in June of 1944.

It’s hard to imagine how significant this was.

You should catch it if you can. It’s called PRESSURE and the acting is outstanding. Bet it’s up for Oscars this year.

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here to whistle you into a wonderful weekend.

When Auntie Carol was here we had one rainy day in two weeks. Since she left it hasn’t stopped but here’s the thing today it’s going to be sunny again.

This means a long trot and also no boom booms so I can play safari in the yard rather than hiding under the bed all day.

You gotta make the most of the good days now that summer is coming to a close.

Be like me pretend when the sun is shining that it is May and you’re getting ready to be a beach babe.

It’s easy all you need to do is dream.

I’m off now to chase a chipmunk. I’ll talk to you soon. In the meantime know that you are loved by the most beautiful one in the world!

Blessing#2889-Dry Day

I’m feeling very tired and floppy.

It’s all wet outside and this house is so still even the AC has turned off.

My solution to this situation is sleep.

I can’t be bothered trying to nuke the niece as I need her for company.

The only silver lining I see right now is that there is still a heap of Amish cinnamon rolls in the fridge so I may get up and get one to share with Ma for brekkie.

I’ll talk to you soon when I’m feeling sunnier. All this sleep should make me very handsome!

Blessing#2888-Sweet Dreams

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here. Of course I’m PERFECT as always but once more am feeling less than ready to heave you over the humpty.

See my Auntie Carol has gone home to Ireland. We sure had lots of fun together and got to do some great trips.

Before she left we took her to our Tall Grass Trail for a long trot and when we came back I got into her bed while she packed her suitcase.

I made a valiant attempt to squeeze into it and she was willing to smuggle me into the plane but it was too small.

So here I am this humpty feeling blue and will be home alone with the Grey Gizz when the old Granny leaves for work.

I suppose it could be worse but I’m not sure how.

We’ve been having such fun with Auntie Carol.

Instead of staying home all day Ma has been showing off the cute sites of Ohio.

Yesterday we got to go along too on a trip to Berlin in our “Little Switzerland”

This is the heart of Amish country and more Amish people live in this area than anywhere else in the whole wide world.

The town itself is cute as a button with many shops where handcrafted goods like candies and quilts and wood worked wonders are sold.

The hoomans didn’t get to shop there as they’d decided to take us trotting with them around the town.

They did go shopping though at the Troyers Supermarket where people park their horse drawn buggies alongside modern day cars.

The hoomans had their lunch there and Auntie Carol saved us some of hers that was delicious.

Ma bought apples and ham and cheese and sausage sticks and a big beef brisket. She also bought a big tray of cinnamon rolls that I am about to sample.

So in haste I must finish my post and get off to gobble so we can a final adventure with Auntie Carol before she flies off to Ireland.

I had a word with Dad overnight. He was telling me he’s settling in well in heaven. He’s still hanging out with Harold and Dolly and her husband Carl. Seems Harold’s sister Ingrid has now joined them.

He said he was proud of me for not fighting with Nala and for being so supportive of Ma.

He said he’d find a way to get me a few extra milk-bones sorta like God did with the manna in the wilderness.

I’m optimistic this week will be crunchier!! in the meantime I’ll hit the plastic.

Blessing#2885-Chewing On

There’s so much humidity in the air it feels like a sauna.

When you look out the window it’s like a fog.

It induced in Ma the urge to recite to me “Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness”

It’s hard to understand how she can remember the entire poem and yet she can’t remember where she put her phone when she set it down minutes before.

Oh well I’ll say nothing and keep listening!
