Booming Banter

Yesterday Ma nearly killed Kong twice and then nearly killed herself.

The poor fish has his water changed by her each morning. She transfers him to a little ziplock box and he swims around in it while she rinses out his bowl. Well yesterday she dropped the critter into the sink when making the transfer and again when putting him back in his fresh water.

I guess fish are used to such trauma in rivers and ponds so he was fine!

Now that Ma doesn’t have to leave for work as early because she only has a five minute drive instead of 45 she tries to do other things.

So after brekkie and getting herself all cleaned up for work it was still not 10:00 am so she said let’s go Scoob and get the groceries.

We made our way to the car, she put me in and then she slipped on the snow that had melted on Tuesday but had refrozen into a sheet of ice overnight.

She slipped right down to the ground on her bum and hit her head on the Bro’s car. I heard the crack and thought she might be a goner but she surfaced albeit shaken and we took off.

Her ample insulation around her rear probably saved her from any fracture and she is thick headed so that helped too.

I’m just wondering is there a big fish God up in heaven who was getting her a taste of her own medicine on poor old Kong!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here PERFECT as always and ready to heave you over the humpty with a giant gulp of gregariousness!

Sunday Dad went shopping! He has taken to surfing Facebook marketplace for deals that can’t be beaten.

Our chamber is becoming chockablock with his finds.

On Sunday he excelled himself and I have literally had to contain myself from sharing this with you sooner.

He got us a cooler! Not that we currently need one with the outside conditions but in preparation for summer sun and big pool parties.

Now this is not you average run of the mill little square of a fridge.

This is EPIC! A true master piece of modern engineering.

It takes up the entire corner of our chamber but I love it.

It even has a little basket inside that acts like an elevator to get your bevies from bottom to top.

I have plans for that if it gets too hot this summer I’m going for a ride in it!

Come on over y’all and pop a pop with me and Dad we’re all set to party even if it’s only humpty!

Ma is driving us all nuts watching Sky News “On the hour every hour”

She has high anxiety about the future of the Royal Family.

When first Kensington Palace and then Buckingham Palace issued statements yesterday about their concern for victims of a certain Mr Epstein and willingness to engage in any investigation into the financial dealings of Mr Mountbatten Windsor she was convinced we ain’t heard nothing yet!

She consulted her best sources back in UK and they agreed.

Ma is convinced this rush of sympathy and flurry of compliance would have been so much more convincing if the King had referred to Mr Mountbatten Windsor as my BROTHER ANDREW.

They gotta face facts or facts will face them!!

Did you watch the Super Bowl? It was OK if you come from Seattle I suppose.

We watched it all which meant we were late to bed so we’re just awake and now late with banter.

Doesn’t matter though because we have no big plans except to do laundry and trot some a little later when the sun does its stuff and warms the air.

Ma took us for the two mile circuit yesterday as it was better than it’s been but still below freezing so we had to proceed with extreme caution.

Today it may get one degree above the 32F/0C mark. Beats me why we can’t all work to one scale. Just imagine if you were an engineer and had to make all those conversions! Especially an engineer planning to send people to space where thermal accuracy must be critical.

Of well must rush and get the washing on.

I’m all shook up!

Ma came home from work yesterday at her usual time, ate some leftover salad and a sandwich, lay down on the sofa and went to sleep.

I thought she might be feeling funny but then just before 7:00pm she got up went to the bathroom cleaned her teeth put her coat on and left.

I was scared I thought she really was going crazy!

I kept looking out the window for the sign of her car but it didn’t come. The Bro came in from his day off in Columbus grabbed something from the table and took off too.

All became clear around 10:00 pm when they both returned all smiles and started into making more sandwiches.

Seems they’d been to see a Buddy Holly tribute called WINTER DANCE PARTY at the local theater.

Ma proceeded to sing for sometime. I hope she knows that my rhythm is now very upset!

Do you have times when weeks seem to fly in and others where you feel they’re going on forever.

Why is that?

Ma and me can’t work it out. It’s not like we’re doing anything different.

Maybe it’s because when time seems to go slowly we’re not in a great rush to get somewhere or get something done.

We wonder did Einstein think about this or was he always too busy simplifying equations to have any time at all.

There you go fans, enlightenment for your weekend. Hope it goes by at a snails pace so you can pack in lots of rest and relaxation!

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.

Blessing#2674-Tips from Tails

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.

Bet I know what you’ll have for dinner tonight!

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!

Blessing#2672-Working Plan

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.
