Precious Peeps it’s PITS Perfect again!!!!

Tongue-in-cheek aside that talk of beaches yesterday got me heated up!

While on our first morning mile we met my boyfriend Remi. He was on his way home so we went with him back to his kennel.

We’d just said bye and turned towards Cardinal Hill when a young family of geese walked nonchalantly across the road towards their pond.

That’s when the vibe for action hit me. I tugged so hard I pulled my leash from Granny’s hand and took off after them.

Not only to the edge but right deep into the pond. From who knows where a whole flock of them descended and I was forced out.

That sure was a fun start to the day.

The rest went to plan except I took in a little sunbathing and did some Pilates.

You gotta get the bod in best beautiliousness before all the pools open this weekend!!!!!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS Perfect and I’m so excited because it’s Dads day off .

You know what that means? SNUGGLES

Here’s how it goes. I only get out of bed at 7:35 when Granny comes to get me for the morning business.

As soon as I return from my three miler to the Palace I head straight for the Pitty Pit and get back in beside Dad. I will spare you photos of that!!!

We snuggle some more and then get up and have a feast around eleven.

That clean wears us out so we ajourn for a movie and a siesta.

We may take on some snacks and refreshments around two and then we get up at four for a walk with Granny and some dinner.

Isn’t it heavenly. It’s like being on a beach only you’ve got TV too. Best of all I don’t see the old Grumpies all day long!!!

ARETHA has been recalled! Something to do with her electricals. So after walking and baking Ma took off to the garage to get her fixed.

So you guessed it the MONSTER and me get to hang out again with Dad.

The THING is always trying to get me in bother with him and he’s always scolding me even though I do no wrong.

I just have to hang out and hope that the Queen of Soul’s problem isn’t too serious so Ma gets home soon for a siesta.

Well Mom just got home and Kairos 53 at the Ohio Reformatory for Women is a wrap. 37 new graduates stepped forward to be welcomed by those who proceeded them on this journey.

The responsibility for leading the next weekend has been passed to Ma so for her the big job begins.

We’ll have a rest for a few days but then the phone calls will start to recruit the team and the program planning will begin. Fall will be here in no time but I’ll be helping out calming her nerves and loving and listening a lot.

Beats taking day care of trouble hands down.

Yesterday they rolled out the prayer chain at the Kairos weekend.

We all put our paws together and said one at home along with lots of family and friends.

We weren’t the only peeps and pets praying because there are Kairos weekends going on all over the world not just in Ohio.

It’s amazing that so many people are involved in this ministry. We’re definitely in good company.

Makes for long days but when you open your daily devo and see this it’s encouraging!

I’m learning that in the Greek language you have multiple words for what we English woofers combine into one.

Take love as an example the Greeks have no less than EIGHT kinds. I can apply none of them apply to Pittys!

The Greeks also have different words for time. It’s not just the seconds on the clock it’s the significance of how the time is used.

Have you ever noticed when you’re on vacation it can feel like you’ve packed months into days or when your waiting for someone to come home time goes so slowly.

So while I watching the seconds pass longing for Mom I’m doing something with it and putting this paw to paper.

Mum starts her Kairos weekend today at midday so this means she’ll be getting us up at dawn on Friday and Saturday and Sunday and won’t be home till very late so the bro will be in charge of the evening « business »

If I don’t get my exercise of a morning I get very antsy throughout the day. As a creature of habit I have to let off steam. It’s so good for your nerves.

Since we’ll be lucky for the next days to get to the end of the street and back I’m planning on chasing the niece round the dining table at least twenty times and up the stairs at least ten times.

Dad will be fit for the hills so be thinking of him as well as Ma and her peeps!

This is the time of year when we canines are subjected to olfactory overload.

There is all the deliciousness of fresh mown grass that tastes so sweet when rained upon but cause minor digestive drama.

Add to this the appearance of blooms that even humans are knocked out by the smell.

Ma delights in bringing the bounty into the home and it would kill you. She adds insult to injury by placing them right beside the dreaded scented candle.

I’m heading for the door. Give me unscented air please lest I suffocate.

Blessing#1705-Out of Here

Precious Peeps it’s PITs here with a little philosophy.

While at the spa, apart from reinforcing the fact that I am fantastic, I thought often of my sofa.

I have a theory that it is among the best places on earth. How soft and deliciously lickible it is.

Add to that it’s the very best place to snuggle with my Granny and I conclude I could not be happier ………

Unless perhaps at the table beside Grandpa

Before we switch on TODAY I go out for a quick pee.

This morning we encountered a squirrel that dropped like a nut from our big pine tree.

It darted across our path into the cypress hedge that hides our electric box.

Now what I hear you all groan is so special about this.

Well here’s the thing it was a little red dude just like Tufty or Nutkin.

We are overrun around here with the grey variety that the niece does her best to catch on a daily basis and that is slowly dislocating Ma’s shoulder.

There are so many of them you fail to notice them unless you are a Pretty Pitty but that little red sure was cute.

Funny how just a change of color makes such a difference to cuddliness.

Maybe I’ll break out the hair dye.
