Booming Banter

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here to heave you over the humpty. I’m doing a little better but we are under what meteorologist call a heat dome.

It’s like we are trapped in an oven and are baking very slowly.

Yesterday when Dad came home from work he pulled me into the pool. When that water hits it sure is refreshing but I prefer to lie on top of the vent of the air conditioner in the back hall.

It’s the coolest place in the house but yesterday my repos was sadly interrupted by the cheeping of the smoke alarm.

It was one of those annoying little high pitched beeps you get when the battery needs changing. It frightens me no end. Even the Gizz gets shaky with that sound.

We both cling to Granny’s feet when it happens until she understands and gets the battery changed. Since she was baking while it was buzzing it took a while so we were shaking like it was storming.

Speaking of storms a good downpour would not go amiss right now but as I’ve learned from every weather forecaster in this hemisphere that doesn’t happen in heat domes.

So we must endure and do our best to stay cool!

Gotta run as we gotta trot early.

We are sizzling and I mean like sausages.

We have to get trotting as early as possible otherwise it’s not fun.

This is going to continue all week so here goes with a profound statement.

YIPPEE WE HAVE A POOL.

I know I know we are rubbing it in but we are happy as piggies in muck!

We are late on the banter this morning because Ma was in a tizzy.

She got her notice about deposit made from her payment system to the bank and thought it looked too high.

She was crunching numbers from seven till now to see what the problem might be and she thinks that a card transaction went through twice.

This means she has less than she thought she had but at least her mind is at ease.

She can contact the customer and get her to check on her end.

I don’t know why Ma gets so flustered about these things it’s not like she’s got any real big issues but she does so what can I do but take care of her.

Last night we were watching the fireflies and we got to thinking.

Why do they not appear in any famous literature. Wouldn’t you think that they’d fit right in a romance from Jane Austen or a thriller from Agatha Christie or a horror of Stephen King.

If you know of any honorable mentions give a shout out.

They are such incredible critters. We were wondering did ancient people see them and it gave rise to the idea of fairies.

Maybe Tinker-bell once was one.

Just image for a moment you’re a cave man and you are lying under your animal skin and all of a sudden these little lights are popping up all around. What would you think? Is the air on fire? Are pieces of the sun slipping down to earth? You’d be a little taken aback we think!

Why are they not in ancient texts like the bible? Or maybe they are. Anyone for angels?

Blessing#2816-Light Bodies

I’m being very attentive to the Pitty who is still not her feisty little self.

I got her some flowers from the yard to see if they’d cheer her up.

They are hostas and Ma says she’s never cut these flowers before but they sorta look like orchids.

Anyway the Pit was pleased.

It’s strange not to be at each other’s throats.

I feel like a whole new person.

Not convinced I like it. I may have to take up a new hobby.

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here not nearly as PERFECT as normal.

I am recovering but still can’t help thinking of Kong and all I want to do is spend time alone.

Scooby has been a stalwart standing by my side. I never thought I’d say it but he’s not a bad sort.

Perhaps this will be a turning point in the road for our relationship.

We might become pals.

If I were a betting beast I wouldn’t put great odds in it but for the moment he’s helping me.

I thank you all for your support and remain your Precious Princess.

I know most of you think of me as a Grumpy old Gizzard but I do have a heart too.

Nala is genuinely sad about the loss of Kong so I have been taking care of her.

I tried playing chase but she wasn’t up to that so I’ve been giving her some snuggles.

Her Dad is also very sympathetic to her state of mind and allowed us all to shack up with him in his kennel last night.

Nala hardly moved. Between sadness and storms she was petrified like a stone.

I’m planning to stay close to her and give her lots of TLC till she improves.

Once she back to normal I may nuke her.

Just kidding!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here on this horrible humpty.

My beloved Kong has passed to the great swimming pool in the sky.

He was going great guns one minute and the next he was gone.

My tiny Pitty patter heart is broken.

He was so kind and so supportive of all my multitude of endeavors.

I am not sure what I will do without him but now is your turn to heave me over this huge bump in my road.

Today I’ll just sleep some more and dream of happy times we shared.

I know Kong will always be watching over me.
