The season has started when you need to be prepared to descend to the basement and ride out the storm.

Around these parts they give you plenty of time to prepare and if anything gets real close they sound the sirens.

This all starts with a watch. This is another way of saying just hang out at home which we had and did last night. We just huddled together with the bro, Dad read his book and Ma got on with watching THE CHOSEN which never seems to end!!

If things materialize we move to a warning. That didn’t happen last night but it’s good to be prepared and once the worst is past just eat those snackies!!!

Have you been wondering why I’ve been so silent of late on my bid for the White House?

The reason is I have been directing all my funds into research.

In order to win it’s essential to have a message that generates interest and that resounds within the heart of the masses.

As an Independent, to be victorious, I must draw from both established parties in my campaign. It’s really all about psychology.

After intense efforts I reached a milestone in my mission and have unlocked the insight that will determine my path forward.

It was a super stinky horrible day yesterday.

Clean brought out the poodle in me even though we only walked to the end of our street for the necessary business.

I came back and huffed.

So did TROUBLE.

She then ate a few paper napkins and Dad went ballistic.

Since he was having a snarling fit at herself I joined in too.

Nothing for it on a day like that than a nice murder most foul!

There may be only three steps to heaven but The THING has to turn around a few more times than that to get to slumber land.

First, she perches on my look out post.

Soon she slips down a bit.

She turns around one time and then another

and at last after a final twist she’s gone oh if only it was for good.

I have finally worked it out. The Deer that frequent our field think they are dogs.

Take this one that is so audacious it plants itself right slap bang in the middle of the grass outside the kitchen window.

It then proceeds to sit chewing the cud if that’s what deer do until Ma takes it photo.

Quite honestly I don’t mind them visiting provided the beast doesn’t treat their turds like chocolate cover toffees because that causes all kinds of misfortune.

They really must have smelt the roses except we don’t have any so it must be the light hint of mint in the air. Goes well with lamb so why not be bad with venison either!!!!

Precious Peeps it’s your Perfect Princess once again.

I know Fathers Day is past but it’s never too late to pay tribute to the King in my life.

Last night at six o’clock, as soon as he returned from work, Ma made him go out with her on a mission of mercy.

This meant he didn’t get his dinner till close to eight so he was ravenous.

Yet he still shared with Grumpy and me.

He then gave me his usual snuggles

I just don’t know how to ever reward him for being such a great guy. Any ideas? Ties are out as he’s got about a million of Grandpa’s to choose from!

Precious Peeps it’s Pits. If I wasn’t so Perfect I might do some beauty treatments but as I am totally and 100% gorgeous all I need is the odd bath and my Nyla to keep my pearlies pearly. Just look at me glow!!!

Nonetheless being a girly girl I do keep my eye on the trends in the beauty industry of which I have reached the Pitty Pinacle.

There is a lot happening in the area of laser right now that Granny should try for her brown spots aka seborrheic keratosis. She has acquired these through years of sun worshiping. Fortunately they are only ugly not dangerous and I mention them only to impress you with my knowledge of dermatology!!

Really I don’t understand her as she doesn’t even attempt to hide them!

As for hair mine is sleek and superbly shiny but others around me are challenged. It pays for them to try out new looks. Sone certainly need all the help they can get especially on the campaign trail where hair is so often the subject of media focus.

Some runners though are just plain ugly there’s no help for them whatsoever!

On returning from our trot we happened to look up and discovered yet another critter has take up residence at our ranch.

This time it’s avian. Thank heavens it’s not another pit bull!!!!

Uncle Sandy, who knows more than most about birds, recons it’s and American Kestrel.

Imagine if it has a nest up there we could start a falconers business.

OK I concede we have been watching too many PBS documentaries on the Tudors.

Still we have it all in place to make this happen. We have the game and we have the hounds. Just shot me over a bow and arrow!

Today we are issuing a joint communique on the benefits of pet ownership in the aged.

See there is healthy aging and there is falling into decline.

A body is much like a house. If not cared for it looses tone!

Take this one currently on the market that has lost bits and pieces and has things growing where they shouldn’t.

Now our female human did just try to persuade our males that this could be taken on as a new project but they rejected her appeal said it was beyond repair.

We disagree with that argument because we see in her plan multiple trips to LOWES and the HOME DEPOT would be called for and that we would also be allowed to be participate in the project.

We feel that new activities in addition to regular exercise is vital to healthy aging.

Give us your opinions please. To flip it or not to flip it?
