See this menace I’ve been forced to exist with, well she’s criminal.

She steals and shreds everything.

It can range from cardboard boxes to antique mirrors. just zoom in to see her handwork.

Regardless what it is she gets her noshers into it.

When I point out her activities the bro always takes her side.

He tries to endear himself to Ma by making her laugh.

Like last night, after her latest destruction, he put on Ma’s coat to take us out for our business and pretended to be a superhero.

Oh well I suppose he’s not that bad.

The tike though is still a monster.

Sometimes if Ma needs a good relax she likes to watch a movie with her WINE! This is especially true on Friday when it’s Fizzy!!

Bores me stupid and Dad too because most of the time they are soppy girls things.

Fortunately the niece is here now to distract me.

Last night we had to watch a movie she’d heard of many times but never seen.

She was drooling like a demented dog other this dude called Brad.

I just cannot escape flipping Pitts no matter how hard I try!

If you are into mysteries here is a good one.

Due to the increase in customer traffic at the Tearoom this week more baking was called for this morning.

We kids never object as Dad is always good for a share.

Here’s the funny thing though. The pumpkin muffins look orange instead of brown.

Being a Food Scientist Ma should know why but she is perplexed.

The only differences were the brand of pumpkin, she used Aldi rather than Libby, and the fact that she ran out of all spice so had to improvise.

She used cinnamon and ginger instead.

Maybe the lack of clove caused the difference.

What do you all think?

Could such a minor change impact color so much?

We don’t mind either way they taste yummy Mummy

The bro is a kind hearted soul. After all he adopted a nutcase.

Her breed seem to be the sort who eat and sleep a lot and aren’t to fussy about keeping their quarters clean!

The bro and my nemesis have a lot in common.

Yesterday in the midst of her stress the engine light came on in Mums car on the way to work.

The bro said he’d take it for repair today.

That meant the Mother took his car.

Well you should have heard the pings on his phone when she was no sooner out of the house.

At every stop light she sent another message.

Ma “You need to get this car serviced it’s way overdue”

Bro “Unlike your Merc there are no warning light on in my trusty Honda”

Ma- “Why do you never fix the clock”

Bro-“I’d only have to change it again in spring”

Ma-“The windshield wipers on the right is broken“

Bro-“I sit on the left to drive”

Ma- “This car is a disgrace. What is all this red gunk on the front and back seats? Did you murder someone”

Bro “No just think about it sometimes”

Ma”This car smells of pizza”

Bro “Tell me about it how’d you like to do delivery?”

Ma”Why is there a lavender candle in the back seat”

Bro” To help me do what you need to do. CHILL!”

Ma is just home. She had a crazy busy day. Non stop customers and her official ribbon cutting too.

She is in need of wine

I gave her my biggest smile

Now since there is no chance of a walk I’m wrestling the niece.

This time change business gets you all upset.

Just when you get used to seeing the stars before dawn they vanish and you see other twinklers in different places in the evening.

Very confusing these heavenly bodies.

It wrecks your sleep too.

The wailer is crying earlier again so I get less peaceful me time with Mom in the morning.

Worse still we get no walks in the evening as it’s dark when Ma gets home.

After feeding time the hoover collapses and falls asleep in my place on the sofa before the nightly news is finished.

I must nap to recover and will be signing the petition to ban daylight savings.

Nala here your favorite Pitty Pups!

I am happy to report that I have matured to the point that Granny has promoted me to sous-chef!

I was assisting my uncle Scooby in the kitchen during the bake off this morning.

We worked on floor cleaning and quality control of new inventions.

Now this may already exist somewhere in the universe but it is new to our repertoire.

We invented the cocktail scone.

These are teeny weeny one bite versions of the afternoon tea classic.

Ideal for parties they will be split and topped with strawberry jam and cream at upcoming ribbon cutting and Victorian Christmas events!

We also made starry shortbreads that are so small I can swallow them whole.

Happily some got scorched so we had to eliminate them from the production. I inhaled quite a few!

They are hard as nails perfect for sharpening teeth for future demolition work.

We had a weigh in this morning for the first time in ages.

Dad’s suspicion that I am being starved to death were validated.

I’ve lost five pounds crashing from 41 to 36.

The mega mouth has risen to 31.

Last night she spilled her dinner again. It went under the kitchen chairs. A lot of dust bunnies were killed in her endeavors to vacuum it all up.

I will not report on the mother who needs to hold us on the scale.

Suffice to say she is moving in the same direction as the niece at even greater speed.

She needs to give up on eating leftover buns from her cream teas or she will need a new wardrobe especially now that the Christmas Season has officially kicked off.

Thats a good thing about us canines our clothes are super stretchy.

Blessing#1148-Lycra

When Ma takes me out around six thirty so I can off load the fluid accumulated overnight it is pitch black.

The stars are fab.

We admire the plough and the little bear.

Of course the most brilliant as you’d expect is the dog star.

Shines bright as a diamond just me.

Tonight the clocks fall back which means the demon will no longer sleep as late.

She’s definitely from another galaxy. We are poles apart. I’d give anything to have her transported back where she belongs!

Blessing #1147– Time Travel

I can be nice as pie when there is a good reward at stake (that could also read steak!).

It’s pretty tough to be tender with the tike but when you overhear the Ma telling the Pa that Aldi have Advent Calendars for dogs on sale it is strategically smart.

I’ll be giving my cheesiest grin to all even though it may look more like a snarl to some!

Wonder what’s inside those little boxes?
