Booming Banter

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here as PERFECT as ever and ready to heave you over the humpty.

It crossed my mind as I was about to speak with you that many of you today look forward to what was previously a pretty miserable midweek moment.

Now as you open your little peepers I see you smiling at the prospect of hearing from me. OH the joy I bring. Such a talent and beautiful to boot.

Anyway enough of that. On to recent action with KONG. He’s giving me swimming lessons.

Since the pool is in shock in preparation for the season he felt it was important that should I happen to slip into the deep end that I come out none the worse for wear.

His love is so tender.

He’s been teaching me all about breathing. Unless you have gills like his it’s imperative that you don’t gasp for air while you’re underwater.

As for getting around he says I must propel myself with rhythm and reverence not rock and roll. “Gentle doesn’t it my darling” he says.

For the moment I will practice my stokes in my head as it’s still a tad cold to dip even the tootsies in but that day of delight is coming.

Off now to kiss KONG and spread more love and laughter.

Be like me or as close as you can get to a passion for perfection!

We’ll talk Friday.

The weather this morning says it “feels like” minus two Celsius but fear not Ma is apoplectic with excitement because the pool is open.

It may be a tad green but never fear it is “on shock”. Even overnight it has taken on a clearer bluer hew.

We will be ready to take the plunge in a day or two.

Most other people with a titter of wit open their pools end of May but not the Irish.

Ma says if you can swim in the Atlantic you can stick your toes in water that is just warmer than ice.

Like good scouts we live by the moto “Be Prepared” and so we will be for the first balmy day.

It’s Auntie Carol’s birthday today so we are giving a BIG shout out to her from all of us.

She has been Ma’s best friend for all her life.

She’s like Ma’s big sister except Ma has nearly always been the bigger one!!!

We had to dig deep to find a photo where Carol is the taller.

Of course since Ma is AI fixated at present this image of Christmas Day 1962 had to be transformed into a cartoon. I must admit it came out kinda cute.

Auntie Carol is very kind to animals and fond of nature. She volunteers at animal shelters, charity shops and nature conservation in the forest.

She is all in all the best sort of BESTIE a person could have and has my vote as an Auntie in a million for four pawed peeps too!

I’m excessively annoyed with Ma. Last night she went for dinner at PJ and Eddies new house and she didn’t take me.

They are my best friends. How could she be so uncaring?

Their Mom Liz made yummy food and worst of all invited my Auntie Denise too. I could have got big loves from her because I know she misses me so much.

They chitty chatted and ate for hours and were introduced to Godiva. She is Auntie Liz’s current foster dog who was rescued from a puppy mill.

Just think I could have shared stories with her about my rescue from Texas!

If you know anyone looking for a little poodle she is a sweetheart. She’s had a very rough life but Auntie Liz has been giving her lots of TLC and she is doing very well.

I may speak to Mom today but only if she promises to take me to meet PJ and Eddie very soon!!

So by now you know that JAWS is dicing with death.

I can’t say I’d be sorry if she happened to have a close encounter with the cutter. I can see the headlines now “The Marion Mowing Massacre”

It might make the Bro sad though and maybe even Ma but I know Dad wouldn’t be too upset! It would probably kill Kong too!! Double whammy wipeout!

Ma took me aside after the most recent event and asked me to keep a close eye on The Thing when she is not around.

So I now have her sequestered onto the sofa while outdoors when any equipment is in use.

It’s a tough job but I’m up to it! I’d do anything for bacon!!!

Precious Peeps it’s your one and only PRETTY PITTY here to whistle you into the weekend.

Thanks to the love of Kong my dearest FISH in a DISH I am restored to GLORIOUS GORGEOUSNESS The fact that we haven’t had a storm since I spoke with you on the humpty helped.

I’ve taken up a new sport; chasing lawn mowers.

I walk closely alongside Dad as he cuts the grass and then all of a sudden I take a dive at his machine.

It frightens the life out of him. He screams at me to stop so I do and I walk along again until he has that false sense of security that I obeyed him and then I take another plunge.

It’s such fun.

Kong says he can hear Dad yelling at me all the way back on his island.

All this running and jumping will have me in super shape for pool season.

It’s hard to be better than PERFECT but trust me if anyone can do it it’s this Princess.

Off now to kiss Kong will give him a big smacked from y’all too and tell him you hope to hear from him soon.

Have a fun one and don’t forget to always try to be like me!

Blessing#2744-Ground Work

Are you like me? When the sun is shining and the sky is blue I have no trouble jumping out of bed.

When it’s drizzling and grey I like to find excuses to snooze some more.

My preferred spot for this activity is down at Ma’s feet on our big blanket.

It’s so colorful and cosy it makes me think I’m on a beach by the seaside.

There comes a point though when all this dreaming of sun and sand make a dude thirsty so I’ll get on now and get the day started.

That little bit of extra rest and relaxation did me a world of good. I might just manage to remain sane for another hour or two!

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

I’m a little Pitiful this morning because I have had less than my usual amount of beauty sleep. Those stinking storms ate into my slumbers and I sense more in the air.

Since I was up since the first light of dawn I’ve had time to check into my facebook account and what should show up but a cute little baby picture of my PERFECT little self. It was taken in September which makes me about four months old.

I look so tiny and tender like a little asparagus shoot.

Kong says I sure was a beautiful baby but that he prefers the Pretty Pity he fell in love with. He can see me better with all my muscle definition!

With that I must leave you and seek refuge under the bed as it’s rumbling again. Stay safe and be like me more beautiful by the moment even under duress!

Last week Dad’s batch of yogurt didn’t set right. It was a bit runny.

Yesterday Ma had a lot of baking to do for the tearoom so since the oven was on she decided to make “good old Irish wheaten bread” using the runny yogurt instead of butter milk.

She doesn’t measure when she’s making bread she eyeballs it but when she was tipping the yogurt in it plopped out all at once leaving her with no option but to add more flour.

She ended up making way more than planned.

Sometimes I wonder why she doesn’t just do things slowly in a more methodical rather than like a crazed critter on speed.

Anyway the outcome is that we’ll know what’s for brekkie for days to come and it’s not that bad at all.
