Blessing Hunting
Today all our Indian family and friends are celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi. Wishing them all the best on this special day.
I’m no expert on Ganesh all I know is that he always has a sweet is his hand so he must be smart.
A post from my cousin Krishna this morning was in Hindi so Ma asked him for a translation.
Its something to reflect on and like a good elephant never forget!

The Braemar Games are just over. The Queen goes every year to watch all the traditional sports.
Ma says she should take a wee jaunt over here as our antics at tug of war beat tossing the caber!
The tike has jaws of steel and gives me a good workout. Here’s how the game goes
She may win the game but it does her in which also gives me some peace and the chance to watch the sleep sequence.
Blessing #1091– A Highland Fling
There was a mighty war fought yesterday and I won.
The tike thinks she owns every toy in my house but I gave her short shift.
Ma put her in the crate because of the noise she was making. This gave me a chance to seconde a few more of her things from under the bros bed.
She has a squirrel as tall as herself and a serpent the size of the pair of us combined.
I like that one best. Each bump in its body contains a separate squeaky.
Since I am so angelic and gentle with my toys Ma said I can keep it.
Call me a snake in the grass if you like its mine all mine!
Blessing #1090-Revenge
Yesterday was Labor Day so that means Ma has declared summer over!
The mantle got a makeover. The flags came down so we are ready for autumn. We’ve been inundated with pilgrims and pumpkins and turkeys.
The tike doesn’t understand the concept of ornamentation and thinks these are new toys to be shredded.
Ma was not please when she hit on her new Turkey.
A fight ensued for its recovery resulting in some wounds on the old woman.
I licked them better and the tike took off to hide with the bro who’s back working late shifts.
Heaven help us when the real big bird arrives. The tike will be stuffed no doubt.
Blessing#1089-Fall Fun
Today I’m reflecting on the benefits of eating breakfasts as I ponder whether to dive in or not! If I don’t do it when I’m given it these days it’s pulled from me before my niece is released to common quarters.
Ma used to eat my breakfast everyday when she was going to real work. Now as she has constant access to food at her hobby lobby she eats it only if she’s hungry.
That’s like me. I eat only when I’m in the mood. I just nibble throughout the day. I know that sound self righteous but it’s just the way I’m made. I’m not a gobbler!
The tike though eats everything that’s put in front of her with tremendous speed.
As you may not believe the rapidity with which she can down her brekkie here is a record that is not playing on fast forward.
I’m planning to enter her into competition!
Now here is the irony in this matter. Over the past week I gained more weight than she did. Those treats that Dad and me sneak must be laden with lard as for Ma’s scones they must be made of lead!
Suffice to say Ma is back to porridge.
Blessing # 1088-Regimes
Ma is working this afternoon and tomorrow so that always means an early lunch.
The niece thinks she can handle the spice without problem so she’s sniffing around the Sambal Oelek on the salad.
I keep my distance from that stuff it would strip the lining of your stomach.
Ma loves it though says it gives her a kick like coffee without the jitters.
She can keep it. I’ll wait patiently till she goes and nibble the niece until then.
Dad can’t handle her when the bro and Ma are out as she’s a nutter and torments us with chasing and barking.
Suits me just fine that she’s in solitary in her crate as I get cookies on the quiet from my Dad and they’re super sweet not a spice in sight!
Blessing#1087-Sugar Daddy
I am going to let my Ma’s communication with the bro speak for itself concerning the behavior of my niece.
Roll of drums………. and then she ate the jalapeño pork scratching!
Blessing # 1086-Text Records
Ma drove off into the clear blue yonder saying she’d had enough of the pair of us.
While the tike may be sweet when asleep she is a Tiger when she’s been fed and watered and walked.
This morning she went to her bedroom, brought down a toy and proceeded to shred it.
Dad was screaming so loud Ma could hear him in the bathroom.
She’d had enough. She threw the tike in her crate cleaned out the innards of the animal she demolished and promptly huffed off leaving me with Dad.
The bro will need to work every hour God sends to keep that one in squeakies.
She’ll go through a train load in no time.
Blessing #1085-Locomotion
The tike is currently resembling a pin cushion.
In addition to the piercing I inflicted she has finished all her shots and is now pricked in all limbs at least thrice.
I was not permitted to go to the vets with her but on her next trip in two weeks to get her microchip I’m going too as it’s my annual physical time. That should be pandemonium. Brace yourself for September 16.
In the meantime here she is with her Dad looking suitably sweet despite her predicament.
In this shot (bad pun again) you can see well why I’m optimistic she may fly off for good sometime soon.
While waiting for this I tended her wounds as only a saint might do. I trust the Pope is reading Saint Scooby sounds so spectacular!
Blessing #1084-Shotdone
Ma says you can tell a star the minute you meet them.
That’s why she knew for sure I’d be one when she saw me almost two years ago.
I may have been skinny but I was beautiful even outside the limelight!
The tike is competition for me especially when it comes to ears. She’d knock Dumbo off his pedestal.
A few night ago Ma says she witness a new star being born.
Her hero on TV is Lester Holt the prime time anchor with NBC and till now now one not even the handsome Craig Melvin could give him a run for his money.
That is until this handsome dude appeared on Monday covering the latest floods in New Orleans.
He’s the one to put your bet on for the future. Watch him.
