Peeps it’s PITS!

There is so much great pick and play in place at the palace.

The dude who wears those stockings has seriously big feet. I do love a smelly sock to chew on.

If that wasn’t good enough never in my wildest dreams did I imagine so many balls in the one place.

I grabbed one last night and nearly pulled the ball holder over.

So the stinking Scruffy has been put on guard duty.

How I deplore that dog but I’m told the dude who wears those big socks wants us to be nice! He’ll be coming down the chimney soon! Seriously? Won’t he stick?

Fear not dear reader the pack leader didn’t have another meltdown. I got her up at 6:30!!

She began fine tuning of the decor before church and then she went shopping.

Details of her purchases will be revealed soon. Suffice to say candles were included.

By the time she returned it was napping time and then we had to finalize the tree and trimmings. Hence the delay.

We had lots of memories to share about the decor the bro made when he was a babe and which friend bought which one.

She is feeling much more mellow than yesterday so we are all happy.

We slept in this morning. Didn’t wake up till 7:15. That’s like a once a year event. Meant everything was a rush and Ma got into a mood because she didn’t get her coffee and me time.

She could get mad about anything that woman. Don’t tell Santa I said that! Just pretend she’s an Angel.

Rattled on that she does everything in this place and gave orders to Dad to dust and make the dinner and to the bro to get that $&@@£¥ tree up.

Truth be told she was fuming because she had to go to the tearoom. It was small business Saturday but she had no bookings because it coincided once again with the biggest game of the season Ohio State versus Michigan that everyone stays home to watch. What the heck!!!

She returned remorseful for being so cross to find butter turkey was cooked and the tree was up.

In addition the bro had decorated the dining room and the fireplace to boot. There’s still a little tidying up to do but he was distracted by the game that Ohio lost spectacularly.

Now I am persuaded his handwork is perfect and Mom agreed that it was wonderful but I predict there may be a little rearranging done.

She’s a sucker for symmetry is Ma.

I was busy all yesterday morning keeping Jaws in check and making sure she didn’t get near the bird.

We watched the big one at The Macy’s Parade while ours was in the oven.

The Radio City Musical Hall girls must eat a lot of it because the way they kick their legs is amazing.

After the singing and dancing we watched the National Dog show. Jaws though she should be on it. Talk about aspirations of grandeur!

When we have holiday dinners we always get out my Granny’s Willow Pattern china. It makes us feel like she and Grandpa are with us.

After a snooze we felt they’d sent us a message via HULU. We found their favorite soap was being shown so we watched a few episodes.

It’s been so long since Ma has seen it she didn’t know many of the characters anymore so we switched to a drama called FIVE DAYS.

Even Dad was glued to this one and we kept saying we’ll watch just one more episode. When it got to 10:45 and the plot was still thickening like Mum’s gravy we decided we better binge on the rest tonight.

So with square eyes and round tummies we adjourned to slumber.

I was having a nice relax this morning when Ma said hurry up Scooby we have to get up to get the bird in the oven.

Oh Yummy I’d completely forgotten what day it was even though we’d candles going all over the place last night and the house is coming down with pilgrims and pumpkins.

I love this holiday because I know for sure I’ll be having turkey for the next week.

The bro doesn’t like it that much which means there’s more meat for me. We didn’t have it last year but Ma put the foot down and said never again are we going for anything else!

Maybe when I’m President I’ll make a monthly turkey day. Is that too much? Can you ever have enough?

For right now I need to work up an appetite so I must wake the dragon and get going.

Have a wonderful day!

Ma was on the hunt for a key she’d put away for safe keeping a few years ago. She still can’t find it but she unearthed several other treasures including an old ball of my predecessors.

It’s quite durable. At least that’s the claim so she gave it to us to play with.

Now I’m not into games that involve third parties. I like it to be just Ma and me but since the Princess was persuasive with her nibbles around my neck I gave it a go.

It wasn’t too painful it’s good practice I suppose. You got to appeal to all sorts in the electoral register so I guess spotting the cues for sporting sorts is a lesson to be learned.

YEOH y’all it PITS!

Did you see the footie yesterday. I was glued to it all afternoon. All those hot male bodies were quite yummy.

I gave the Gizz a little chase round the living room at half time and then settled in for the rest of the game.

So many goals for England I was quite hoarse with all the cheering.

Clean wore me out it did.

I conked out completely like Snow White before nine o’clock.

I’m wide awake now though dreamt some handsome Prince smacked me one while I slept.

Think it was George he’s into the footie big time just like his Dad.

I’m speculating there will be a visit to Qatar in their schedule just in case the England form continues and they make the finals.

I have been reflecting on my manifesto.

To lead this country I must act as a good shepherd.

I’ve pretty much got the herding under control.

Now I must think of incentives to retain the loyalty of the corralled community.

Tax is always a great motivator. I’ll shear them a little less especially those feeding on poorer pasture.

I’ll encourage and incentivize entrepreneurs. Except Elon!!!

Of course there will always be impediments in my path but with clear vision, that Ma will help me achieve and refine, no stone will be left unturned.

I neglected my campaign these past days in order to succor the hand that feeds me.

Now she is returned to normal, more or less, I once again am putting paw to the Presidency.

Appearances are so important. So a good mug shot is essential.

A close up shows you have nothing to hide. No open pores or pimples. No sagging skin or fake tan. As for the hair I’m an all natural salt and pepper sort. A no dye dude.

Question is should I appear speaking or with my mouth shut. Oh the decisions I must make.

In the meantime I wish my predecessor and the current encombrant of the position a very happy 80th birthday.

I’m bummed. Could take a lump out of someone’s big end!

All I’ve heard this week is cars.

Heck even the stinking old Gizz has abandoned his campaign to focus on vehicles.

Now the Queen of Soul has usurped me in the affections of my Granny. She took her to work yesterday and to meet the President in his tomb too!

The moving monarch may match my collar but I’m done listening to how cute she is.

She’s even started to receive gifts from MY auntie Marsha.

Thank heavens KONG is still my King. Gotta take my rage out on him.
