Booming Banter

Well I made another turn around the sun.

Ma went to the zoo yesterday with Auntie Carol while the Bro was at work. It was just me and the niece hanging out together. We took care of ourselves all day with Dad keeping an eye on us from upstairs.

My birthday sorta got forgotten about with all that’s been going on.

It’s OK though. I know that everyone loves me. I feel especially close to Dad. He told me he loves me more than ever now.

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

I’m enjoying having Auntie Carol here because she talks to me like I’m a grown up and not a baby.

We’ve been hanging out together on the deck while Granny and Scooby snooze during siesta time.

Auntie Carol says siestas are a waste of time.

Not hundred percent sure about that!

On Labor Day when Dad had a holiday from work we had a family outing to show Carol the Great Lake Erie. It was my first trip up there too and man was it beautiful.

On the way home I slept the whole way. Don’t tell her though just say if you happen to see her that you heard Nala had been a very good quiet girl!

I’ll do you a favor next time I see you.

In the meantime know that I love you and continue to be positive as it’s only two big sleeps till the weekend.

In the Hindu tradition the loss of a loved one is followed by thirteen days of ceremonies.

One of these is the feeding of orphans and the poor.

Yesterday our dear Auntie Hamsa took care of this my going to a local orphanage and then into the streets of nearby Navi Mumbai to honor our Dad.

She sent us videos so we could watch. We snapped this photo for you all to see.

Isn’t this so very kind of her to do this.

Once again we are very touched.

On this Monday morning we thought we’d issue a joint statement to get the week off to a good start.

First happy Labor Day to all those of you in the USA hope you enjoy some fun.

Now onto our uncle Sandy. He is a very cool person. He’s from Canada and is a retired Nestle food chemist. He also takes great photos, is an astronomer, jumps out of airplanes to raise money for good causes and most importantly has special platelets that he donates for sick people.

At the weekend he did something special he gave his platelets in memory of our Dad/ Grandpa.

We think that’s such a sweet and thoughtful thing.

Hope it warms your heart too.

I’m doing my best y’all to stop licking my leg but once you’ve got a bobo it’s hard not to think about it.

Here’s what the hole in my coat looks like. You can see that I’ve made it very uniform. Almost like it’s shaved.

Ma says the trick that stops the lick is to keep busy so I’ve been out and in and out and in and out and in some more. I’m playing game hunting in our yard.

That reminds me that the niece took off after a bunny yesterday on our trot so Auntie Carol got to witness her naughtiness first hand.

Now I have to admit this particular bounder was on steroids and was the size of a corgi so it was worth chasing.

Fortunately Auntie Carol was holding me and Ma was able to capture Jaws pretty quickly as the rabbit ran into a yand bordered by a fence and a stream.

Strangely Ma didn’t even scold that much. She’s become more mellow for some reason.

Yesterday we had the farewell for Dad at church. Many friends old and new who live close by came to support Mom and the Bro.

We also felt the vibes from family and friends afar who could watch on Facebook.

Dad whispered to me that he was touched by all the sweet words and the generous gifts made in his memory.

I promised him I’d keep an eye on Mom and the Bro and Naughty Nala but am feeling quite exhausted and have licked a big hole in my leg.

I may just sleep all day once my trot is over.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits. I’m here PERFECT as always but not exactly my usual weekend warrior self.

I’m taking things one day at a time since my Grandpa passed.

He may have scolded me a lot but he sure was a good comforter.

No one takes the time to pat my back and tell me stories.

I know I must stay strong for Dad and Granny and Scooby since I’m the young blood in this kennel. I must keep the zoomiez zooming but it sure is difficult during storms.

Be like me this weekend and do your best to be bold.

Show your smile even if you’re shaking. It tricks the brain into thinking you’re doing fine.

My Auntie Carol who is here with us has a very Irish complexion. She burns to a crisp in the sun.

She planned her visit here in September because Ma told her it would be cooler than July or August.

We’ll get this it was 92F yesterday.

Still she put on her hat and coveralls and we went for a walk together in the morning. She held my leash and I felt proud.

We then gave her a little tour of our town before returning to relax in the back yard.

She even had a dip before a spectacular dinner prepared especially for us by our auntie Marsha.

All in all a very good day
