Pretty Pitty here! Hope your day is off to a swell start just like mine!

My Granny sent a card to the grey gizzard on my behalf as I’m still learning to pawblish myself.

Old poo face was so impressed by my tenderness he told me that since it is a day of peace and joy we should make a joint declaration of good tidings to all men. I smell a rat! He has some scheme in mind.

There is absolutely no doubt that my snout is itching with all the cooking going on around me.

There are great lickings to be had and some weird things around from different parts of the world.

Each persons gets to have their favorites.

The bro started the day with chocolate and some funny looking drink while waiting for his sausage rolls to cook. He ate them all except two which he graciously allowed Ma and Pa and me and gizz to sample!

Dad had his Indian samosas with chai tea and has some sweets and snacks waiting for later

As Ma is once again being deprived of Turkey for the sake of the bros desire to eat MEAT she is preparing her favorite veggies to remind her of home.

We’ll have another wee taste of Ireland a a bit latter too.

I’ve decided that this is indeed the most wonderful time of the year.

I may even kiss the uncle!

Mummy whispered to me this morning that we’d do just a little walk as we had to get the Christmas groceries and deliver some present.

« If you’re a good chap Scooby you can come with me and we’ll leave the screamer at home with her Nyla »

So we skipped down the road, quickly wrapped some gifts and wrote some cards and got going.

The monster was oblivious to our scheme. All she can do is chew!

I thought I better pretend to like her so Ma would take me along for the ride. She was good to her word and we had such a good time cruising and singing Christmas songs.

We jingled belled all the way.

We even saw a Rudolph.

People do things big around here.

Hopes Santa brings me some of the kibble he feeds his reindeer.

I need to beef up to tackle Miss Trouble who is still chewing her bone.

Blessing#1195 -Deliveries

See this Christmas time I could do it all year round.

Everyday you get more gifts

Yesterday Auntie Karen from across the street brought us these GIGANTIC pies.

They are the size of a small table! Ma said she’d never in all her life had seen bigger ones.

I just dreamed of nomnoming them.

So it was, like in all good fairy tales, that this morning my wish was granted. Dad had to go to get his blood work done so as soon as we got back we dug into the pumpkin.

A very balanced breakfast indeed.

The demonic presence had been returned to her chambers to snore with the bro while we all went to the doctors. So we had peace to eat!

Dad is so good at sharing. When she is not around he is particularly generous.

Heck this morning even Ma couldn’t finish all that was on her plate.

What a great start to the holidays.

Tonight we’ll try the apple with some ice cream once we have put the niece to rest.

See how that little dose of yumminess made me so suddenly sweet.

Hi fans! Pretty Pitty pups here.

Apologies for the late post but I’ve been suffering.

As I may have mentioned I love ice cubes they are so refreshing and crunchy.

Well last night when no one was looking I dove into the ice in my Grandpa’s glass.

He has this stuff with his ice cubes every night.

Of course I had to sip some of it to get at the glaçons! Je parle français comme tous les belles femmes!

Oh dear my Granny went ballistic when she caught me.

Started screaming at my Dad that I’d be sick and he was going to clean it up because she’d had enough of me.

If I hadn’t felt so happy I’d have been so sad.

I was full of beans for about five minutes and then boom I started to feel strange.

My ears went all funny. Granny took a video of me to show you the effect.

I did still eat by Nala Nyla as I didn’t want the grey gizzard to get the wrong impression.

I wasn’t long awake after that and have had this most horrendous headache every since.

Now I’m almost back to normal and ready for more fun tonight.

Cheers Gramps!

Blessing#1193-Sleeping It Off

Mum and me got such a lovely surprise this morning.

We were sneaking around quietly for me to get my first pee of the day well before dawn.

To our delight and surprise we discovered a package on our front porch.

Santa had come early

We got busy unwrapping all the gifts.

They were so beautiful.

We hung one on the Christmas tree well out of the rascals reach.

We put the gorgeous glass bauble with some other major treasures and it’s going to be like our little planet earth on display all year long. Too special to keep for just one season.

The jelly will be yummied up on Christmas Day and the napkins placed strategically to wipe out lips.

We are so delighted with these things and love the people who left them very much indeed.

Ma and me woke up at 5:15 but decided to snuggle and think about food rather than jump out of bed.

As we have to scone this morning and she works this afternoon at the antique mall we thought about an easy dinner.

The big ham we had last a Sunday is still giving. It’s like the fish at the feeding of the five thousand it just keeps on giving.

So we decided to get to grips with it and strip it to the bone.

The bones are being boiled. I could have crunched them nicely but Ma doesn’t give me bones incase they stick in my throat.

Instead she cut up all the little fatty bits and made little lardons out of them that will be going into my dinner this week to tempt me to “eat up Scooby”.

It started with my breakfast.

It was yummy and such a good way to start the Christmas week.

All this before the dragon stirred.

Blessing#1191-Bacon Bits

Ma was making shortbread all morning. I nearly dripped to death and she only gave me a crumb.

I fought with the demon who was also salivating and she went for my throat like it was steak.

Tore off my jewels. Fortunately Ma rescued them before she ate them up!

When Ma got the last tray in the oven she sat done with a drop of tea to look at her emails.

I was gazing over her shoulder reading her email and I saw it.

Could my wish have been granted even before the big bearded one arrives. Are they going to sell her!

Alas I fear the bro is too attached. Dad though is definitely on my side.

We agreed we’d settle down and watch a great performance.

That VonTrapp man could take the demon in hand. In the meantime I’ll have to hum my favorite things.

It’s really great this new version of a classic. Put the beast to sleep in no time and made Ma happy too.

Blessing#1190-Remakes

Hi y’all it’s your favorite Pitty pups publishing today.

Have you missed me? I understand it must be hard to listen to that old grey gizzard every day!

I’ve been super busy eating and am now less than one pound short of grumpy’s weight.

He does not know what I have in store for him when I’m fully grown.

You should see my teeth! Enough of him anyway.

I’ve got this great new experience in my life. Food that doesn’t disappear.

As you know Auntie Denise magiced this up for us.

I love her so much and jump on her every morning.

Just when your feeling bored and sad having had your dinner Ma jumps up and tosses these indestructible osi on the floor for me and the aloof wolf to get to grips with.

He tries to assert himself and take both tibiae but I’m too talented to allow that.

I do a quick fart, he heads to the door for air and I grab one.

Now I’m not greedy as he’d have you believe.

All I want is my fair share.

Kept me busy right through till bedtime without a single snarl. Truly this is the stuff of dream. It’s like doggie chewing gum!

Blessing#1189-Jaw Breakers

We were all vegging around last night after stuffing ourselves with Olive Garden take away when Mom got a text.

It was from Auntie Denise.

She had left us our Christmas stockings at the front door.

We were so excited. It perked us right up!

Each of us got a gigantic Nyla Bone.

We each took to our corner and peace ensued.

It was still and calm like silent night and for once Ma got to watch a movie without going mad.

It was called The Darkest Hour. All about a battle fought a very long time ago.

How ironic that for once there was a ceasefire at home!

We look forward to more chewing this evening and perhaps a lighter bit of entertainment with dogs in it.

Big day at the ranch.

The bro is 21.

He’s a good soul. Generally good natured.

We got him a chocolate cake for his brekkie.

We aren’t allowed to eat that.

We helped him blow out his candle though and ate some of his white chocolate money!

He’s taking the day off work and so is Ma so they can go and do some serious eating and spend a penny.

Poor Dad can’t go but we’re taking care of him and we’ll all be getting take out tonight too so we can all enjoy. You never know what might pop out of the box!
