Precious Peeps it’s PITS Perfect here the DISH with a FISH ready to whistle you into a wonderful weekend.
As we approach Valentines I’m going to give you an update on my love life with KONG and three lessons for those of you seeking romance.

We talk a lot. He shares his perspectives from his side of the pond and I give him the run down on what’s happening in the back yard. We could go on forever about fridge doors opening or squirrels but we don’t. Conversations must have variety. Top lines are fine. We don’t get bogged down in too many details.
Lesson 1 find a man who listens to everything and agrees!!!
We have quickly learned that we both love to eat. Of course I’m now off the tuna and salmon as that hits too close to home for him.
I’m not sure what’s in that food Granny gives him but it sure stinks. She only gives him enough to fill half a hole in my tooth but he seems happy with it.
Lesson 2 find a man who is easy to please on the food front you don’t want anyone like the stinking Gizz who’s picky.
Finally, for this Friday at least make plans together. Decide when you’re going to run away together, which part of the world you’re moving to and who will feed you if you don’t have a good old Granny. If your honey doesn’t play plan with you don’t stick with him. Kong is so adorable we are going to leave just as soon as he gets a passport and we’re going to Bermuda with Granny.
Lesson 3 adjust your expectations to meet potential possibilities.
There that should help those of you in the hunt for a life partner and for those of you who are hitched to one read lesson 1-3 and apply anyway.
I love y’all but I love KONG more. Thanks for the understanding.
You know we always have pizza on Saturdays well we have a new humpty meal now too.
It’s BLTS.
When we had our old house up for sale we couldn’t fry bacon in case it left any lingering longings for potential viewings.
Hence having had a period of bacon withdrawals we are now fully fledged advocates of the fine hickory smoked substance.
We fire it on and crisp it up and while it’s cooking Ma chops up lettuce and onions and slices tomatoes and then brings everying to the table and the hoomans make their own sandwiches on big soft rolls.
Even dad likes it and always gives me and Jaws a nibble. I feel sorry for KONG!
Best of all Ma keeps the grease and I get some melted on my kibble which is real tasty.
Precious Peeps it’s PITS here PERFECT as always and ready to heave you over the humpty.
I’ve been exercising my jaws a lot during this cold spell chewing my new Nyla that Auntie Denise gave me. I’ve also taken over that of the stinking Gizz for some variety.
It is my principle that if you can’t exercise one muscle you should workout another.
I think Granny agrees as she is snacking a lot. Last night she ate nine Jaffa Cakes while watching “The Indian Matchmaker” on Netflix.

This show has given me the idea that maybe I could get into the business of matching up Pitties.
I could travel all around Ohio or maybe even all the USA looking for dudes to match with dames.
We could arrange meetings at fancy hotels and weddings at top class venues. Just think of all the steak I might eat not to mention the car rides I’d have.
Maybe I could even get my own stretched limo.
I must chew more on this!
Clearly a strong jaw is linked to a very productive brain!
Aren’t you glad I’m so amazing both beautiful and smart!
I know y’all love me so much. Stay warm and keep up the indoor exercises and we’ll talk Friday!
I was meant to go to the groomer last week but she had to close because the schools were all closed because of the snow and cold so she had to stay home with her kid.
Anyway I’m not sorry because I need my fur in this weather.
We’re rescheduled for 2/23 so I’ve got a few weeks to go still.
I feel like a teddy bear which got me thinking about hibernation.
My feeling is that cold definitely induces desires to vegetate.
Apart from missing regular trots I’m as happy as a clam if a somewhat scruffy one.
Happy GROUNDHOG Day y’all. Let’s celebrate and hope today is like yesterday!!
Around four pm last afternoon Ma looked out and the sun was splitting the skies. She checked the temperature and it was only minus 5C or a balmy 23F higher than it has been in a very long time.
So she said the immortal words “let’s have a trot”. The niece nearly took her out before we got started in her haste to get out the door.
We tested the road and while still a little slippery Ma declared it manageable provided we didn’t pull.

We all took smaller steps than normal and proceeded for a good long circuit. We probably did close to two miles.
At times we had to take to the road as some sidewalks still had no path cleared but all in all it was brilliant.
We peed on every post just to be sure the local canines knew we hadn’t left the neighborhood.
It wasn’t even that cold for Ma as she put on so many layers she was like a big Spanish onion.
I am so hopeful we’re done with winter well at least this Siberian set up! Snow can still stick at just under freezing we don’t need industrial scale congélation!
Ma and me were just reflecting on friendship. We are agreed that we are “Besties”
Ma has had the same “Bestie 1” since she was born that’s my auntie Carol who is a great gardener and loves roses.
She is like a sister but not biological just like I’m like a son.
It’s funny with friends that you may not see them for ages and yet you dream of them. They must always stay connected in some special slumber section of your brain.
Last year Ma lost an old Bestie of forty years my Auntie Phyllis went to heaven but almost every day something triggers a memory of her.
Yesterday it was a funny thing. My Auntie Denise a new Bestie of just five years had bought Ma this huge bouquet when she came visiting two weeks ago. It’s still mostly going strong except for the roses.
When they drooped their heads Ma decided she would keep the stalks and try to make rose bush babies with them. They are in a little vase by our kitchen sink.
As she was changing the water in them yesterday it reminded her of Phyllis who always turned roses upside down when they got droopy and dried them and kept them.
She knew right there and then that Phyllis and Carol and Denise were connected by roses and other beautiful things!
We’re awake earlier than our new norm because Ma and Auntie Paula have their first GALENTINES fashion show and luncheon today.
It worked out well because the Bro is on the earlies so he had to leave at 6:20 and that was our alarm. See our front door still has the Christmas wreath on and it has Jingle Bells on it so it makes a sweet little noise.
Why may you ask is he leaving by the front door. We’ll see it’s the only door that we’ve found a key that fits!!! There’s a lot of things we’re going to do when it warms up.
For the moment though it seems we won’t get above freezing in the span of the long term 10 Day forecast so we’re happy to have a good excuse for doing next to nothing!
I’m just hoping we can trot again soon or I’ll be as fat as fiddle.
