See this blood letting of my Dad to check his hemoglobin well I could get used to it. Each time he goes I get to ride along with him in the car.

He says it’s his way of taking me out.

Mom drives and I sit shot gun between them.

We leave the monster at home.

She looks like she ready to be barbecued.

She either snores with the bro or lies spread Eagle eating her Nyla.

Good red meat.

Just what my Mom has been pumping into Dad.

Wonder would she notice if we roasted her.

It’s funny the way things pop up together to point your thoughts in the same direction. Just like a GPS!

This morning our auntie Lesley sent us a photo of her grand puppy who’s is visiting her in Northern Ireland. She’d travelled all the way from London for Christmas.

Next up on Facebook memories a photo of our predecessor Dibley appears on one of his memorable trips. This one was four years ago when he went to New York for a midwinter break. He’d been all over Europe that rascal and twenty states in the USA too!

Next up appears one of Dibley’s fancy dancy relative wishing us happy new year. She lives in Holland and is a champion. Dibs was of royal lineage.

The furtherest I’ve been is Texas where I was born and from whence (don’t you love when you can use old words) I was rescued by the awesome Canine Collective.

Since then I’ve not been further than Cleveland and as for it she hasn’t been further than Plain City where she was born. You could ride there on a bicycle if you fancied!

This COVID business has really rocked all our vacation plans and now with Dad hooked up to the good old O2 we won’t be far travelled.

Guess we’ll just have to sit here like Darby and Joan and get used to being jealous and watching All Creatures Great and Small and dreaming of trips to parts unknown.

This morning Ma and me were having a little quality time alone while the dragon slept.

We thought about our favorite things and it hit us smack on the nose that we hadn’t been to the forest trails since big ears arrived.

I smiled since I’m Scooby

We decided it was about time we introduced the Princess to the wilds.

I was ecstatic with joy.

It pays to partner. Just like the elders. Eternal friendships often start with little difference.

To give you some perspective on my life you need to understand greed.

The nemesis just cannot be filled.

After three cups of kibble she was at the worms again this morning on our walk. Clearly that didn’t suffice.

When we got home we had a good fight and she tried to eat me until Dad hit the roof. You can tell he’s getting better because he’s shouting louder. He always takes my side. He can’t stand her. Good taste my Dad.

So Ma tries to calm the situation and give each of us our Nylas. She is concerned about Dads blood pressure.

Well Mega just can’t get along and chew her own she has to have mine too.

She steals it.

She lies on it.

Worst of all she slobbers all over it and tries to eat two bones at a time.

Fortunately I’m more interested in my guarding duties than in pet chewies!

There is series concern though about my well-being.

Blessing#1198-Unreal

That’s it I’m done being kind. Ba humbug to all this Christmas cheer.

I’ve just had enough of the demonic darkness. She is trying to take over my Dad.

She is endearing herself to him on every occasion and thinks she owns his lap.

I’m in luck though since she’s like a huge lump of lead he can’t stand it.

He keeps yelling at the bro to get big ears away from him. Ma has stopped listening altogether to the ranting.

While I can I’m tuning out myself.

There is only so much tidings of comfort and joy a man can take its time to get the gloves out and fight another round.

Blessing#1197-Boxing Day

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!

Blessing#1196-Christmastide

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.

Blessing#1194-Tucking In

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.
