We went for our usual trot but then strange things started happening.
The Bro came home from the night shift and took out the vacuum cleaner.
Dad then started cleaning the counters and Ma swept the path to the front door.
Ma then got ready and took off to work.
The Bro went to sleep on the sofa for a while and then things got really bizarre.
Auntie Denise came and took Dad away in her car to her house and left us with the Bro.
Shortly thereafter he put on his coat and our leashes and took our water bowls and us for the longest walk we’ve ever had with him or any other human We went all the way to the Adventure Park in the center of our town. It’s a five mile round trip!!!!
Why why why was this happening. We started to panic.
When we came back we were exhausted and hungry so had to have a huge dinner!
We were relieved to be home for a while we thought we might have been expedited and demanded an explanation.
Precious Peeps it’s PITS here and as you know I’m PERFECT as always.
My nose was a little out of joint though as Granny brought another woman into our kennel.
It was a GIANT teddy girl that had been Dad’s as a kid and was currently residing in our garage.
She dressed it up in a tutu and took it to the shop.
The theme this year for the Christmas decor of the town is The Nutcracker so Granny is taking the position that The Nutcracker is nothing without his gal.
It’s kinda like me a Dad.
Anyway since the cuddly critter is now ensconced in her tearoom I’m friends with her again.
Be like me. Don’t bear grudges against Grannies they are often crazy but generally generous with goodies.
Love you all and have a wonderful weekend.
P.S. Heater fixed at the apartment it was just a fuse so won’t break the bank!
One of the smoke alarms was chirping. Now when it is before dawn you hear it quite clearly but once the house starts moving and the TV is on it can kinda get mixed up with the rest.
I don’t like that noise. It is too high pitched for my tender earbuds. Makes me very agitated and ready to run for the hills.
The Bro fixed what he thought was the culprit when he got home from the night shift but it started up again when he’d gone to sleep.
Dad had to let him sleep so it was well into the afternoon before he nuked the nasty.
To add to my troubles just before she left for work Ma got a call from the agent who handles the rental apartment above the shop to say the tenant had called to say the heating had packed up! This made Ma jittery and that always transfers right into my bones.
Knowing that bad things always present themselves in threes we waited for the “what will happen next”
You’ll be glad to know 24 hours on we are still waiting but are feeling somewhat uneasy.
Do you feel like that too or are we just a tad pessimistic?
Best go to my safe space till this is all resolved apart from being under the bed I’ve been there for ages now!! Nail biting business!!!
Precious Peeps it me the PERFECT PITTY here to heave you happily over the humpty.
I am in heaven. My Dad found a bargain on Facebook market place.
It’s a 65inch flat screen TV. He got it Monday and it’s for the living room in our new house.
Until we sell this house and move it is to be lodged in our chamber.
It takes up the entire desk. That’s OK because dad doesn’t use the desk any more.
I was surprised Granny didn’t have a fit when she saw it but she was pretty cool with it.
So now when there is a big footie game on or a Grand Prix or such Dad and I can pretend we are there.
This is probably the closest I’ll get to the movies so I’m hoping we’ll also watch some oscar worthy films.
Be like me enjoy every opportunity to lie in bed and enjoy some good viewing. There is nothing as cosy as a wet old day with a blanket up to your nose and a bit of light entertainment.
If I’m not too engrossed in a miniseries I’ll talk to you Friday.
In the meantime know that in life every cloud has a silver lining or is that a silver screen!
We had a lovely little Monday. A great start to the week.
Despite her throbbing thumb Ms baked enough scones to see her through the next week or two. See she freezes them so they are always fresh.
We sampled and declared them good. Quality Assurance approved.
Dad made yogurt so it was a hive of cottage industry.
For dinner Ma made homemade sausage rolls that are in the Bro’s top ten preferred food list. They run a close third to Steak and Beef Wellington.
I like them myself but since Ma puts onion and garlic and celery in them I’m only allowed a tiny taste.
You would think Ma won the lottery because Aldi has puff pastry on sale for $3.99. They usually don’t stock it so it’s probably seasonal. That’s a great price less than half what she she paid in Kroger last time the Bro had a craving for the delicacy.
Our freezer is now jammed packed with the airy material. With a bit of luck it will still be around for a few more weeks for her Victorian Christmas!
Ma sometimes has a sore shoulder. She puts this down to our tugging on trots when we want to worry wildlife.
Last night she told Dad that she was going to Deep Heat it. Man that rub stinks and she used a metric ton of it.
Here’s what happened though.
No sooner were we snuggled up in bed with a hot but pain free shoulder than she took an almighty intense pain in her right thumb.
No matter what way she turned the thumb throbbed and the pain radiated up the inside of her wrist and arm.
We wracked our brains as to what could have caused it. If it had been a sprain from one of our “forced extensions” wouldn’t she have felt it at the point of the pull?
Could it be gout? She has been hitting the sunflowers seeds as a snack pretty heavily these past days.
Could it be carpel tunnel syndrome from too much typing for me? The right thumb definitely does most of the work.
Maybe it is repetitive stress injury from holding heavy teapots and pouring too much tea.
Or is it possible that the pain in the shoulder is escaping via the thumb.
Remember that old rhyme about bones being connected. If one joint relaxes is it possible a trapped nerve emerges and bingo you have activated a new issue.
It’s a bit better this morning but if you have ever experienced something similar please share so I can reassure her she hasn’t gone nuts.,
Precious Peeps are y’all ready for a wild weekend? I’m here to WIZZ you into a wonderful one.
Mine is starting early because my darling Dad is off work today. We’re going to hang out all day together and snooze and snack and snooze some more.
I love days like this. We get so much good rest and relaxation. He needs it because he’s been on nights and is on the 3:00-11:00 shift tomorrow.
Granny has her fashion show with auntie Paula so she’s been up since well before dawn making her specials.
The stinking Gizz was sniffing around her heals but I was good as gold and stayed in my chambers.
I hope you’re all feeling just as fine as me. Of course I know that no one can beat my smile or sassiness but you can try. give it that winsome look if your feeling far from fab.
Sleep and some good steak helps so eat up and take it easy and be just as precious and perfect as a Pitty Princess. Well nearly!
