Booming Banter

Precious Peeps it PITS here PERFECT as always and ready to whistle you into a wonderful looooooooooong weekend.

It’s Memorial Day but it feels more like March. All the public pools open today so people can splash but the forecast indicates there will be plenty of puddles around the streets to do the job too!

Regardless we gotta grill. Dad is off Sunday and Monday so he says even if it’s pouring he’s firing up!

He got enough steaks for a football team but I’m sure we’ll manage to munch them.

I just love when my Dad is home as we have such fun together playing video games and snuggling. The stinking Gizz has been sneaking his way into our space which is troublesome but if he gets too close to our snacks I’ll wrap my lips around his scrawny neck.

Now I must run and get the fun started. Kong is waiting to be kissed.

I hope I have inspired you all to make the most of this holiday and have a heap of happiness.

Love y’all

With all the wildlife around our yard the Bro has taken up photography.

He’s a particular fan of squirrels so I thought I’d share a few of his captures.

These critters are real posers. They just sit around chewing nuts and waiting for him to snap.

They are quick off the mark though if they see me.

We believe they have nests in our big trees.

Ma says we have to be kind to them as their ancestors were here long before us.

Yesterday when we were trotting we saw a very strange squirrel. It was a blond not a white one that we’ve come across before but very definitely blond. Have any of you seen such a critter?

Could it be a new variety. Maybe we’ll be famous for finding it.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits here to heave you over the humpty.

To be honest I need a little help myself. There have been storms in the morning and storms at night and I’m sick of shaking.

In between these horrific events yesterday Granny took us trotting in the heat. She was so happy to be hot she just kept on walking. I eventually had to lay down.

When we came back I tried drinking the swimming pool but she scolded something shocking.

Man I was thirsty. We did a little sunbathing and Granny got on her new costume and got in but didn’t go for total immersion just a token taste of what is to come.

I like the sun so much. It reminds me of KONG all orange and shiny and hot hot hot. I’m so glad we have our very own island.

I love y’all and hope to survive till Friday if not I’ll message you from heaven.

Blessing#2777-Sultry

It’s started to get steamy at last! We’ve had this pool opened since April and it’s not warmed up much.

Ma got into it yesterday up to her knees to clean the steps. She is convinced it will be warm enough to get the costume on soon and do a dip.

Jaws is cat walking along the side but you won’t get me into it until the thermometer hits 90F we came close yesterday at 84F.

Now is the start of the season when you have to trot early to avoid suffocating unless of course it’s storming like it threatening now.

So I’m thinking we’ll be back to waking at dawn and getting on the road as soon first light.

Having more hours in the day really suits me! How about you? Have you more energy?

Blessing#2776-Spring Fever

I am thrilled to inform you that the zebra grass eater has been identified. Mug shot below!

Due to stormy conditions the said BEAST would not go out to do her jobs in the back yard. So when the storm passed Ma took us immediately for a trot.

JAWS had to of course quickly off load and so it was clear as day who was the culprit when the evidence appeared before us!

A complete plant was emitted intact.

There was no escape. Ma was mad!

“I knew it was you Nala” she screamed “how could you do this to me”

As we continued our walk we reflected on a few things.

Nala is like a Panda. Zebra grass must be tasty but is not Bamboo.

Fortunately it does not induce vomiting nor diarrhea and is absolutely one hundred percent indigestible by canines.

It’s also best left in borders and flower beds if you don’t want to have a very angry Granny.

Blessing#2775-Outcomes

Well thank goodness that that’s over for another year I was totally sick listening about THE THINGS birthday.

There was thunder for half the day. That’s what I sent her!!

She had a bad time as Ma was also miffed with her as all the zebra grass shoots she’d planted had been ripped from the earth! I told Ma it was Jaws who did the job!!

It could well have been Conker our groundhog who was responsible but I preferred to nuke the niece!

We have now also been invaded by a battalion of bunnies. They so far have been spotted only in the front yard but may have burrowed under the fence and be the culprits.

I hear rumblings once more so looks like it could be another nasty day for the niece. She’ll be shivering and I’ll be giggling. Oh I’m in such a strange mood. Must be the electrical energy in the air.

Off now to nibble a milk bone. Talk tomorrow.

Blessing#2774-Finger Points

Precious Peeps who else could it be on this auspicious occasion but your one and only Perfect Princess.

Good old Granny is making up for her mistake and has created a unique birthday card for me this morning.

She also got things off to a good start last night by grilling an extra brat that Grandpa sliced into small pieces and fed to me. He gave some also to the stinking Gizz but I’ll be kind since I’m a mature little minks!

Thirty five in doggie years makes me at the peak of my perfection.

There is nothing more I can achieve in the beauty stakes so I plan to switch gears now and while maintaining my glory I plan to work on my intellectual prowess.

Can you imagine if I became as smart as I am beautiful! There would be nothing artificial about this intelligence and no risk of having to make birthday cards.

Perhaps I could get a job with the space program. After all I it’s been a while since there’s been a dog out there. I can see it now NALA at NASA!

In the meantime must rush and kiss KONG and eat some scones for brekkie.

Love y’all almost as much as myself.

Blessing#2773-Five Alive

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

I have a confession to make. I stirred up trouble on the humpty by mixing up my dates.

Dad was shocked and dismayed that I claimed my birthday had been forgotten. He showed me his arm.

“Look here young lady” he said “it is written clearly in Latin numerals your birthday is May 16. Never ever in the history of humanity would I forget the date of the arrival of my Pretty Pitty Princess”

Oops! I ate my words along with my kibble. Why did we have that big bag of Lays well maybe it was just a munchy moment!!

Here’s the good news though tomorrow I get to have a big time bash. I see perhaps a celebration starting today and lasting till Monday with a cook out and pizza and ice cream and gifts and cards and flowers and….

Got to rush it may already be starting in any case must kiss Kong.

Send me you birthday wishes no later than midnight tomorrow. I’ll be waiting!!!

Blessing#2772-Party Pit.

Good to her word Ma planted on the anniversary.

To make it fun she went shopping with a budget of $40 and managed to get quite the haul. Two azalea, some begonias and dianthus.

As some of you good people out there suggested the theme for the color was red. She mixed in some deep pink too as it’s somewhat like a ruby! Good contrast to go with that zebra grass she snagged at the yard sale last week.

I helped a lot by keeping Jaws under control and evens did some digging.

It was a glorious day and we got really dirty and then the good Lord stepped in and watered everything overnight.
