Greetings Peeps!

I bet you’ve been missing me dreadfully but with the trauma of the past week there was little time for lightheartedness.

There has been a lot of talk instead about Princesses comings and goings but I’m still and will always remain the one and only Pitty

The passing of that great lady Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II from whom I have learned so much tore at my heartstring.

Patience, endurance (especially when it comes to Nylas), tolerance and acceptance of all peoples even those who look like aliens are just some keys to the kingdom.

Yesterday I put into practice most of the knowledge I’d acquired.

On the return of the native wearing his Elizabethan collar I managed not to laugh out loud. He looks so much like Buzz Lighyear.

I barked a lot to keep him conscious and tried to lick his wounded knee (if I’m not mistaken there was an important battle around that subject but enough of constitutional history).

I even endured his hot under the collar attentions for sometime.

Ultimately I resigned myself to getting back to business as all wise women do for the sake of world peace and Granny sanity.

You will not believe it but I got run over by a bicycle this morning.

Ma and Auntie Denise were on one side of the street with me and Nala. Ma was recounting some tale about bears as we said our goodbyes to Auntie Liz, PJ and Eddie who were on the other side of the street.

All of a sudden a cyclist going like a rocket came in between us. I lunged at the flying object and in a split second it ran right over me. Like totally over me. It was like something out of a cartoon.

I walked home with my tail between my legs and went to my safe place under the coffee table.

I came out and played a bit with Nala and had a few treats but it was clear I was limping. Nala played nurse for a while, kept an eye on me and was alarmingly quiet.

The bro and Ma examined my abdomen per auntie Liz instructions as she’s a medic and that’s when the bro discovered a nasty open wound on my back leg. It had been hidden by my coat.

So within seconds we were in the bros car on the way to MEDVET the animal hospital.

I was taken within minutes and you will be glad to hear I’m not in imminent danger.

I got three staples in and I’m on the way home with a collar or is it a hat!

I have been wounded to the core!

It has come to my attention that another canine was allowed to enter the Tearoom.

As you know I have been banned since it became an officially licensed eatery so this is unforgivable.

Ma explained that this exception was made because this particular dog is trained to detect change in blood glucose levels and so is approved for entry to all public buildings.

It’s what they call a special service animal. Even came prepared yesterday with its own hat for the occasion.

Well I provide service too.

Don’t I take care of keeping Ma calm during one of her mood swings.

Don’t I keep that beast that lives with us under control.

Don’t I offer succor and comfort in times of distress?

Maybe what I need is the hat!! Those bunnies are there all the time and they wear hats too!!! I must speak with Auntie Paula of Paula’s Posh Picks she has hats galore!!!

We are all off kilter this morning.

First the big moon woke us up at 4:00. We thought it was dawn but when we checked the time we just said a few prayers for the King, rolled over and went to sleep again.

Next thing we knew it was 7:20 and we were meant to meet PJ and Eddie at 7:25.

Add to that the bro had gone to work and Jaws was trying to break their bedroom door down.

So we released her ran out barefoot for jobs hollered at Auntie Liz that we were late and to go on, came back in, made coffee, got my breakfast, gave what I didn’t eat to the vacuum cleaner, put Dads meds in the wrong time buckets, resorted them and by then the coffee was ready and we switched on the TV.

Perfect timing to see the Public proclamation of the King.

Now I’m watching you know who work out her jaws and waiting as Ma catches up on the parliament swearing allegiance.

Thank goodness for those Nylas to keep her quiet they’re as valuable to me as the Crown Jewels.

My secretary is having difficulty typing this because her eyes are filled with tears but we must ask did you see the rainbows?

First the one over Windsor Castle just at the moment the flag was lowered and then just a little later the double one over the Victoria monument at Buckingham Palace.

That was God telling all of us who are broken hearted by the passing of the beautiful soul that was our Queen that she’s just popped over the bridge to meet all her loved ones.

All her puppies from the past were waiting and they are so happy to snuggle with her again.

Her Mom and Dad and Sister were there too

and of course her handsome Prince.

For her dear Family left here for now, including God Bless him her son our King, her Majesty summed things up so well when she said

Let’s hope she has her feet up enjoying a nice cuppa and a jam penny or maybe a marmalade sandwich this afternoon.

Blessing#1454-Reunions

It’s as well the bro is of a sunny disposition, as this picture from yesterday’s Facebook memories epitomizes because Ma is scheming.

Swift on the heals of their day spent painting floors and tiles and cleaning kitchens and bathrooms Ma has a project for him for his next day off.

She is planning to attract more customers to the Tearoom with some zany color scheme.

First up the flag pole that broke in a storm last winter is to be fixed and a huge OPEN flag placed in it.

Next up she’s got a pot of bright red paint and all the detail that’s peeling or as yet uncolored around the doors and windows is going to get it.

Once that is done she’s for sticking lettering down one side reading Booming and down the other Blessings and along the top Tea & Treasure. The color of this will be determined by the Home Depot or Hobby Lobbys most competitive pricing!!!

I’ve been promised I can come along and assist if it’s a Goldilocks day.

Blessing#1453-Schemes&Dreams

Mom was so tired last night she hardly spoke. Now any of you who know my Mom know that that’s unusual.

The bro and her had been away all day working at the apartment above the Tearoom. It’s quite a big space!!!

You should have seen them when they got home. Looked like they’d lived on the streets for weeks.

The old tenants left on August 31 as they inherited a house so Ma and the brown were redoing the floors and cleaning the place before the agent could show it to potential new tenants today.

Mom went straight to the bath to remove her body paint work and tend to her injuries.

The bro fixed the chirping alarm to avoid another sleepless night and ordered food.

We watched the end of Chernobyl and just about made it upstairs as her little legs were stiff as the boards she painted and creaking like them too!

There was a distinct possibility she may never be the same again so I gave her extra TLC and she slept like a baby.

Blessing#1452-Exhaustion

I’m excessively angry.

All night long that stupid round thing on the ceiling has been chirping.

It doesn’t do it all the time just randomly.

You dose off and then half an hour later it emits this massive single beep that would wake the dead.

Ma was huffing and puffing and tossing and turning and rolling so I had no choice but to go underground.

Now we are awake for good we have found the master has a red light on.

It would all give you the heebeejeebees especially when we spent the whole of last evening binge watching Chernobyl!

Blessing#1451-Warnings

They say when thunder roars stay indoors.

Well it’s roaring like a lion here right now and it’s dark as night. See those red spots on the radar that’s over our house.

It is most annoying because I am busting for a pee. Ma says I have to be brave and hold on till the storm passes. Jaws fortunately is asleep because it’s so dark!

We feel sorry for the poor people who have been looking forward to a long anticipated day off work. There will be no last day of pool or barbecue cookout today.

Indoor plans only peeps.

Snoozing sounds sweet! After all that was the one of the original objective for the day first celebrated in NYNY on September 5th 1882.

Blessing#1450-R&R

Why is it when things get exciting humans move closer to the TV?

Do they really think those people playing are inside?

Some dogs on the other hand double crunch. Others just ignore!

It was a good game. At least what I saw of it.

Ma decided since she has a shower party today that she needed her sleep so we went to bed at half time.

You know how it is when the master speaks you need to listen.
