It’s National Sons Day today so of course Ma is honoring me and the Bro all day long!

Well that is my hope and HINT!!!!

The Bro is going to his football coaching and we have another open house so I get to have two car rides today. One to drop him off and one to get off site and do groceries.

Alas this means that I will have to have the niece breathing down my neck.

She is so nosy and so stinky I couldn’t even find a photo of me and the Bro without her.

She sticks like snot!!!

Here she is all dressed up for the OSU game yesterday.

She thinks she so special but my feeling is she looks ridiculous.

Enough of her let’s be back to me, Ma says I’m the best four legged son she ever had. I knew all along I’m the best of the best.

Fortunately for the Bro he is the one and only bipedal!!! So we are both top of the charts

Ma decided that it would be unlikely that the algae in the pool made it to the soil.

So she has taken to shock.

No single celled creature will be able to withstand the pounding she is giving it.

Consuelo is getting a break because you cannot hit the hard stuff and have your robot working at the same time.

My feeling is that we might need to take out shares in Clorox to balance the books.

If we don’t get an Indian summer there will be trouble!

Maybe I’ll make it worth her while and take another plunge or two before we call it quits.

Oh the deep blue yonder! Oh the happy days!

Precious Peeps it your PERFECT PITTY here to whistle you into the weekend.

You know that you just can’t keep a good Pitty down at least not for long.

My tender heart was hurt by Granny taking the stinking Gizz to the bluffs but I believe it is futile to bear grudges so I’m friends with her again.

I’ll never be friends with the STINKER but that you know already.

Did you see that he pretended to be sorry for me.

My PAW he couldn’t give a toot if I trotted off into the sunset like Scarlet O’Hara.

I bet if she’d had a dog it would have been a feisty little fighter like me.

Anyway I have better things to expend my energy on than mutts.

Be like me Pure Perfection and Pure Bred in every sense of the word.

Hope I’ve given you all the kick in the butt you need to be like me. Stay cool and enjoy each moment.

Blessing#2542-Fearless on Friday

It’s amazing how fast grass grows. Ours was like straw on Sunday now with just two days of rain it’s taken on a greenish hew.

Imagine what would happen if we just let it grow and grow how long would it take to make a meadow or even a jungle.

Now I know this is digging a bit deep but have you ever thought about how plants first established themselves on land.

They must have emerged from the waters like all life.

Our pool at the new ranch has turned a shade of green too over these past days with all the organic matter that has entered it as falling leaves.

Ma is wondering whether she should shock it again or just let nature take it’s course.

Maybe the algae might escape and make her a perfect lawn by spring.

Your Perfect Pitty is on strike so I have the honor to heave you over your humpty.

She is miffed with Ma because yesterday afternoon Ma took me to the River Bluffs by myself.

She said it was a treat for me since I’ve been her comforter during her recent stress.

It’s my favorite place in the whole wide world and Ma can’t handle both me and the niece on the trails because it’s steep in parts.

I was delighted to get this one on one time to explain to Ma that this is what she needs; more nature less nonsense.

We had the entire trail all to ourselves the only critters we met were ducks who seem to have set up their winter home on the river banks. There must have been twenty of them.

I love the crunch of the leaves and the color of the ragweed but it does make me and Ma sneeze some.

The Bro took his daughter out for her evening sojourn after which I tried to reconcile with her but she’s a stubborn little soul.

I do understand her position and will do my best to resolve this impasse before the weekend. You might hear from her Friday!

Blessing#2540-Diplomacy

It hasn’t rained here for weeks and weeks and weeks so to say it is crisp is an understatement.

Yesterday changed all that when it decided to pour buckets just as Ma and me were making our way to Aldi.

See she’d gone there earlier in the day to get the condensed milk for her famous fifteens that she forgot to get when she did the groceries on Friday.

However having failed to check on the flour status she discovered a second trip was needed as stocks were too low for scones and shortbread.

She was starting to scold herself for being so stupid not to have checked but I calmed her down.

“Look here Ma” I said in my most soothing tone “if you had remembered the flour this morning we’d have missed this amazing free car wash”.

She accepted my pearls of wisdom and agreed that everything works for the good especially for Aretha who is as shiny as the day she left the lot.

Are you sad summer is over? Ma is because she thought that we’d have been splashing more in our pool this year than we did.

Oh well we are reconciled to the fact that that will happen when it happens.

Sometimes you just have to accept that you can’t always have things your own way.

Ma isn’t good at that. When she wants something she wants it now.

I think it must come from being an only child.

If she’d had the start in life that I had being one of a large litter of puppy mill doodles and being rescued after a year of living half starved she’d understand better that sometimes you have to wait.

See if someone had bought me when I was tiny I’d never have been brought from Texas to Ohio to rescue Ma.

You just have to breathe and believe that when the time is right everything will come together like a jigsaw!!!!

Blessing#2538-Puzzling On

It’s amazing the number of tips you get when you post about a problem your Ma has encountered.

Following the cramping incident we have learned that if you pull your big toe back the cramp will stop.

The torture can be prevented by the consumption of pickle juice. Not sure if I’d like the smell of that.

A better solution (pardon the pun) might be the consumption of some magnesium rich goodies.

I’m partial to a banana so I’d happily help Ma with that even in the middle of the night.

Of course dark chocolate is off my list since it might do me in and that would be of no help at all to the old gal.

I think I’d rather she went nuts!!

Blessing#2537-Cures

I was lying sleeping in the middle of the night snuggled up close to Ma when all of a sudden she let’s out this yell.

She leaps out of bed and hops around for a few minutes all the time emitting sounds like she’s in agony.

She then proceeded to get back in bed and went back to sleep within a few minutes.

Not a word of explanation!

This morning she is still limping.

Seems she had a cramp in her left calf that has left some residual muscle stiffness.

These humans with their two legs are at a significant disadvantage.

Hoping it improves quickly or she’ll have an excuse to do a tiny trot.

Precious Peeps it’s FRIDAY and that means you get to have a little life lesson from me the PERFECT One.

I have been watching President Trumps visit to the UK with Granny as you know she loves Pomp and Circumstance even more than Elgar did!

What did you think of the dresses. I thought the PoW looked like a Queen. She is so gorgeous but so so slim. I think she needs to nosh a bit more.

I could teach her all about that.

Get your nose into anything that’s put before you even if it’s just kibble.

She seemed to get on super well with FLOTUS who was all smiles for a change.

I’m sure if I’d been there I’d have outshone them all in my sexy blacksie tight fitting ensemble with the little white cleavage cover.

So discrete and appropriate for dining with the King.

Be like me a polished Princess even if you didn’t get an invitation to the castle there is always tomorrow.

Always wear your beautiful best!!! Talk soon your very own Wonder Woman
