We went to the bluffs to smell the milkweed but we were too late, the blossoms were all gone.

For such a beautiful scent we think it is unfair to call this a weed especially as it’s the primary source of food for monarch butterflies. Anyway we saw many other little beauties that we hope you love.

There were daisies and clovers and other things we aren’t so sure about.

Most importantly there were plenty of fruits on the blackberry bushes so I know Ma will be keen for a return trip soon to forage in the forest.

She’s convinced that we should eat these wild things because our ancestors all did and it must have been like their natural immune boosters.

I’ll go along with that if only for the walk!

The great advantage of Ma sleeping in is she is transformed into the energizer bunny and I get to profit from it.

This afternoon since Jaws was sleepy she said to me “Let’s go Scoob and work off a snack or two”

We got in the car and headed to my favorite place. Hadn’t been there since Jaws almost took Ma out last fall going down the hill!

Metaphorically and figuratively it is cool because it’s like a little forest by the river.

We did the Sycamore Trail and sniffed the flowers. I was tempted to dive into the Olentangy but given the age of the ancient parent I took pity on her and stay with her on dry land.

Tomorrow we’ll share our snaps of the flowers so for now just be jealous!

I am a little late this morning as my scribe slept in again. I am starting to wonder does she have some disorder because this is twice in the past weeks that she didn’t wake at dawn!!!

Regardless, I realize you no doubt are keen to know how the campaign is progressing.

Well like many successful predecessors I am composing my early like memoirs.

My first year of life in a Texas puppy mill should resonate with many who have spent time stuck in the lone star state.

My rescue and rehabilitation in the central Ohio suburbs will no doubt give many hope that happiness can hit even the most horrible horizon.

I am currently stuck though on how to describe the past two years that I have been forced to spend housed with my nemesis.

Perhaps the best way to formulate this as a that helps me understand the shenanigans of the senate.

So many privileged posers

Precious Peeps it’s Pits. I’m Perfect as you know but it takes work.

Not just diet and exercise but beauty treatments too.

To keep my hair shining I indulge whenever possible in fish skin. It’s an excellent source of omega 3 and high in minerals too. If I can’t get adequate quantities through begging I go to worms. They are becoming increasingly trendy thanks to my active promotions. Get them now on roads near you!

Eyes are also vital to the look so to keep them sparkling I do the veggie routine. Granny tosses me the odd end of cucumber when she’s chopping it for her salad and I find it very refreshing.

No icon though should ever neglect the pearlies so be sure to clean them at least three times a day with your Nyla. Gets all the bits out in one fell swoop. Particularly important before sleep when the acid accumulates

Finally to get the insides moving and the tummy flat go for the least digestible material you can find. My preference is freshly mown grass but if it’s not available in your area check out the All Bran it’s much the same in both taste and effect!

Aren’t you all so lucky to know me.

Did you see Elon Musk is getting his knickers in a twist about Twitter being challenged by Threads. Baaasaaaaaaaaaaaah! Spot the S!

Ma can’t stand Musk says there is something about his eyes that give her the creeps. She is not that hot on Zuckerberg either but if they were to war she’ll be with the red head.

It’s sort of like me and Jaws they were created to torment each other. Horrific!

Wouldn’t you think that they’d be smart enough to stop fighting. At least now and then I make an effort to be kind to THING

Seems though there is going to be a real fisticuffs. A million on the location lovelies!

Wonder will Billy Gates referee!

Just saying it make sense! A WINDOW on the World!!!!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here to get your weekend off to a Perfect start!

I’m beautiful but a little flaky for a Friday.

It comes from being exhausted by Granny who is insisting on walking us extra long distances each morning to get in her steps.

See with thunder rolling in in the afternoon she can’t be sure to get in the evening mile so we have to do it in the morning.

It may not be raining but it is horribly hot and humid so I have to find a way to cool off.

The best spot is by the AC vent but the grumpy gizzard gets that. He’s her favorite.

I have found that extending the body like a sausage is a good way to decompress and it expands the surface area somewhat too.

When he is sufficiently chilled the horrible hound performs CPR on me.

His slobbers are helpful but I still hate him.

Ma is often bemoaning her distance from the sea.

On a daily basis I hear « oh I miss the sea we are so far far away from the coast, I want to go home »

This becomes particularly pathetic when she sees posts from pals in Northern Ireland who go to the seaside resorts and post pics eating ice cream.

Look I tell her we may live with JAWS but here in Ohio you are safe.

Go to the lake if you want to pretend but stay away from the beaches there are way to many sharks in those waters right now and I need you home here on the ranch with me

Precious Peeps it’s PITS!

The thing about holidays is that you shouldn’t ever work. That’s not hard for us especially when it’s in the nineties!

Dad and I took to the sofa and vegged.

It’s it the best place to zone out because you can keep one eye on the kitchen while sniffing the most delightful smell in the whole world.

Granny could have dusted or done laundry or vacuumed but remember the rules!

She got bored doing nothing so she went to Goodwill with a budget of $5 but she spent $11. Bought some « classic » pieces INC jeans with rhinestones, Ann Taylor sleeveless floral blue print shirt, Limited white layering cami and a navy and a white stripped H&M sweater.

When she came back she was exhausted so took the Gizz for a snooze and then made fried chicken and mash as a tribute to the nation. Fortunately not hotdogs.

It was such a good day doing nothing.

Blessing#1754-Steaming and Streaming

Well it rained all day and then it stopped at five thirty just as the bro came home so he an Ma took off for the city.

JAWS was locked up in her crate as she is petrified by pyrotechnics so I had perfect peace with Dad to watch them on TV.

The deserters pretended to be all American peeps and went to a ball game and ate fair food while they waited for it to turn dark. That ticked another item of the bucket list as they’d never seen a CLIPPERS game before!

The fireworks were seemingly Explosive !!!!

Forgive me but if I must suffer so must you!

Thank goodness we can recover today with a long siesta fiesta and just one more night of noise until New Year’s Eve!!!!!

Blessing#1753-Holiday

There’s all sorts of loud noises going on in our neck of the woods that clean get on my nerves. I’m excluding Dad’s coughing and sneezing to be kind!!!!

There’s the usual sound of the train at three in the morning when Casey Jones is driving like a snail though the village and does the deep sloooooooooooow toooooooooooooot!

If I was close I’d bite him.

That’s not all! God is in on the job throwing lightening bolts and great thunderstorms our way.

Wait now it’s not finished there because the fireworks have also started.

It’s like in between storms people chat and decide we must shoot these off just in case the next storms come before we get a chance and are taken out by tornadoes!

Tonight Ma and the Bro were going to abandon us with Dad and go along with four hundred thousand other idiots to Red White and Boom in downtown Columbus.

It’s the greatest fireworks display in the whole Midwest but see we put a word in with our maker and it’s looking BAD!!!!

If they risk it were out of here.
