Booming Banter

Poor Dad got in trouble with Ma yesterday.

She had friends coming over who’d seen the new ranch when it was in the middle of renovations and were keen to see the finished work.

Ma dusted and swiftered and swept the deck and such before she went to work.

The friends had gone to the tearoom for lunch and when they’d finished and Ma did the dishes and closed up shop they all came home here.

As agreed Ma came in before the visitors to get me and the niece into the Bro’s room out of the way.

She almost had a fit when she walked in.

Dad was in the kitchen making my dinner. He’d chopped up some sausage and microwaved it with some of my kibble to make me a special treat.

The whole kitchen smelt like a pet food factory.

I thought Ma was going to blow a fuse. She had to explain that the house didn’t usually smell like this when she opened the door to let her friends in.

To me it was a divine odor but Ma is still huffing.

She says men don’t think. Well I do. I thought I want that good dinner and instead I get locked up!

Precious Peeps it’s me the PERFECT ONE here to whistle you into a wonderful weekend.

Yesterday I made an escape bid.

Granny went for our groceries because she said our fridge was like “Mother Hubbards Cupboard”.

When she came back she brought one load in and left the door to the back hall slightly ajar.

I saw my chance and sneaked out and you know what she didn’t even notice!

It was only when she went for the second bag and I didn’t come sniffing that she realized I’d gone.

Aren’t I smart.

Alas she is smarter! Not in the least pretty but smart!!!

She hollered “Oh Nala do you want to go car”. I was inspecting the neighbor back yard at the time but I believed her so when she opened the door I jumped in the trunk.

She closed it and said she’d be right back.

After a while when she’d put all the food for the week away she showed up with my leash, slung it round my neck and dragged me back into the house.

Bummer I could have been officially declare missing by now if I hadn’t listened to her plot.

Next time I’m heading off for an extended period to seek a handsome prince. I need a man in my life who doesn’t look like a piece of grey fluff.

In the meantime I’ll look for every opportunity to do a runner!!!

It pays to be actively seeking solutions to make your dreams come true as it keeps you fit and fab like me. Try it and have fun.

Be fabulous and I’ll keep up my good work of being the one and only Precious Princess!

Do you have days when glitches start as soon as you wake up.

So it was this morning with our WiFi.

It’s still in and out. We’re typing this on 5G. Oh no wait it’s back on!!!

Ma doesn’t like this it gives her a bad sense for what lies ahead she imagines there are going to be hiccups.

I tell her to chill. It’s only technology. It’s not alive. It can’t give you a hug or snuggle. It’s not able to bite you either!!

She says she knows but she’s still anxious

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

I’ve been following closely the antics of Axel and can inform y’all of some breaking news. He’s not moving in at Number Ten Downing Street.

Seems he has a little bit of a temper and there is concern he may nuke Larry the cat.

Since he’s not such a sweetie and since he won’t provide me access to royalty I’ve decided he’s not worth pursuing.

I need to conserve my energies for more worthy causes.

If you know of any handsome and eligible pooches of princes or billionaires shoot their pic my way.

They don’t have to be as beautiful as me because that would be impossible.

I love you almost as much as myself.

Talk Friday.

Ma had to work yesterday as she had a birthday party so today we’re taking it easy.

Our plan is to do little outdoor fun projects. Nothing too taxing. We may not even bother with them.

We are going to be TENDER on ourselves.

That’s a word we like a lot.

You might be like steak. TOUGH sometimes but if you’re stewed long enough you can become TENDER.

Stew means slow and rather than do our usual manic rushing we’re just going easy.

If it weren’t for the need for a pee I might just stay here till noon.

One of ma’s gladioli fell over. It got too top heavy. So we had to cut it.

We didn’t want it to be lonely so we cut a few more that were coming to the end if their flowering time.

Together they looked so colorful.

It got us thinking.

Imagine animals had fur like flowers that was that bright and bold.

I know I know I hear you. We aren’t that way because we have to blend in with forests and so on but for a moment just imagine.

The niece would be hot pink. I know that for sure.

I see myself as a mighty mauve not quite purple but close.

Ma would be green not sage but that florescent light type to match her handbag.

The Bro would be red like the flag of China and Dad would be orange but brighter than an orangutan.

What color are you?

Blessing#2840-Rainbows

Y’all know we are a crazy lot. Well the Bro’s most recent exploits takes this to a new dimension.

He has taken up Bull Riding!

This has taken place on consecutive days at country fairs in nearby towns.

These critters are not electric my friends they are the real McCoy giant cattle!

So far he has made it for only a matter of seconds but is determined to up his game.

He dreams of Texas and we’re not talking toast.

My uncle Jim has a very old truck that he takes great care of and brings to vintage shows. Yesterday they went to one so I thought you’d like to see it.

That’s my auntie Marsha standing by it.

Don’t you think that both the truck and Marsha are cute.

They are both little reds.

LIbby Grace their big Great Dane gets to ride in the truck sometimes too.

I think that’s so cool that I’m making it one of my ambitions.

Maybe at Christmas I can put on a Santa hat and stick my head out the window. It would look so festive with snow in the ground.

In the meantime I’d settle for a ride in Aretha. Ma’s little vehicle is red too!

Blessing#2838-Ride On

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

We have had a serious cool down these past days and it’s so refreshing. We had lots of storms early in the week and then a drop in temperature. We went from the nineties to the seventies.

It makes you feel so frisky and we trot so much faster. It’s also very conducive for a good chase of the Grey Gizzard around the yard.

The flowers on the hibiscus like it too. They don’t droop so fast.

I must say they are beautiful. Granny cut a few and brought them inside.

She took this photo for y’all and clearly you can see that while this wonder of nature is magnificent it still isn’t quite as perfect as that little Princess popping up in the background.

I may send it to Axel with the caption “behind another door”

Be like me outstanding and enjoy you days off with some good times.

We got a lovely surprise this morning. We have a new canine in our family. His name is Sisu and he’s a great big yellow Labrador.

It’s great to have a cousin even if he’s living thousands of miles away in Mumbai India.

I can give him lots of tips on how to get tidbits and treats. We are connected by WhatsApp!

He’s two years old and our aunty and cousin rescued him from a shelter.

Seems he loves the monsoon and running in the rains.

I think he will be a fine fellow and bring lots of fun and happiness to everyone who meets him.

Welcome home Sisu!
