Round our way it is not getting light right now till nearly eight o’clock which is great because big ears can’t tell the time yet. She just goes on sleeping!

It’s great because it gives Ma and me some time to get on with things before the maniac moves.

This morning we made pumpkin muffins.

They are super easy.

Even my Ma can make them.

This recipe will give you 48 minis, ideal for afternoon tea parties plus ten biggies perfect for a breakfast snacky with your Daddy!

When you add a little frosting and, at Auntie Paula’s suggestion, a candy corn on top they don’t look bad at all!

Remember the tike was cleaning the floor? Well there have been consequences.

She’s had the bro up all night with the runs. He had to take her out every two hours

Fortunately there was a full moon so he could see where he was going.

Even though the comings and goings woke us all up I recognized how appreciative I was that she went outside by planting a big smacker on her muzzle.

She’s resting now and so are my bro and me. Parenthood is tough at times! So is being an uncle!!!!

I’ve had a super day.

Walk, scone making (two broke yum yum), car ride, and just now an hour long snooze with Mom followed by some snacking with Dad.

Ma and I are reading the Just So stories. She’s never read them before even though they are much older than her which makes them ancient!

They are of an ideal length to take you off to the land of nod. Today’s was a « how the leopard got his spots ».

The stories are sort of a shortened version of the theory of evolution but beware if you read these stories they contain some very offensive racist language.

Our edition is an old one, a reprint of the original first edition that we found recently at a sale maybe these bad bits have been modified in more recent publications.

I gotta run Cinderella is stirring. She is dropping shoes
all over the house so I am called to do my princely duties. I am a classic hero!

Mega mouth is somewhat incapacitated.

She is five months now but still loosing teeth.

We find them here and there and the bro is thinking the tooth fairy might make a nice necklace with them!

Dream on brother!

She is getting more clumsy too!

This morning she spilled a full bowl of water all over the floor and just now toppled over her kibble by diving right into it.

She licks up all spills and crumbs like a swifter so Ma says she is useful for something.

I doubt it! Retched being!

Mum loves it when things happen just spot on.

Like a few days ago when she turned on the car and a big number rolled round. It was 2162!!!!

Or, when she had a filling a few weeks ago on 9/21/21 the tooth was number 21!

Dad doesn’t get it.

Some might think she has lost the plot.

Do any of you get a kick out of this sort of thing?

All that interests me are the number of bones in my box!

Prior to the arrival of the Behemoth I had a very refined eating pattern.

I was given my bowls of fresh kibble and water at breakfast time and nibbled on them throughout the day.

Dad would top up what was left at dinner time and to amplify my appetite he’d add morsels of tender meats and gravy!

All that is now out the window.

Ma fires a bowl of dreariness in front of me as soon as we rise and says « get it into you quick son before the monster stirs »

I can only manage what is needed to maintain life it is so boring.

There is no waste though. Big ears eats everything I leave in twenty seconds flat and then thats it till Ma gets back from work.

People who pay for this type of dietetic torture need to get a Nala never mind NOOM!

Blessing #1127- Hunger

This morning my cousin Krishna sent Ma a joke from India.

It got me thinking we all have different heads.

We have our I am concentrating on the road ahead head.

We have our I am listening to every word you are saying head.

Our I am happy and beautiful and this would be a very good time to take my photo face.

The I am extremely busy and important and am way ahead of you look and finally the face we want no one to see:

The I am bored and fed up with all of you and want to be left alone!

Which head have you on today?

My Mom loves dogs.

She has even warmed to my nasty niece.

She has doggy things all around the store.

From fine art

to books

plates

tins

frames

plant holders

even bells

there are dogs for every occasion

So if you humans know humans who like canines tell them to get over to Booming Blessings Tea and Treasure and buy some so Ma can make some dough and get me treats!

It beautiful here blue skies and perfect temperature for a big morning walk.

When we got back from the park there was a whole hullabaloo on TV about people flying into space.

One of them is a very ancient being who at one time was an intergalactic superstar.

While we were waiting for them to take off Ma cleaned our kitchen blinds and windows.

It took her longer to do this than the time these people were in orbit.

Isn’t it stupid. Humans can conquer space but they still have to battle dust. Basically it’s all the same stuff!

She was rewarded for her labors when she eventually made it to work with a visit from a Monarch.

It landed right at her shop door appropriately on one of the butterfly bushes my Auntie Laura gave her.

Like me I bet this beauty is happy as can be with life right here on earth.

Big ears has got her big teeth.

She sticking them into all sorts of things like my toys!

If she goes anywhere near the treats my dear Dad is giving me again on the sly I’ll demolish her.

She has invaded ever aspect if my life.

Got her big stupid paws into everything.

Heck she has even taken my place on the sofa to observe the comings and goings.

The only thing she’s good for is a fight. Keeps me on my toes!
