Ma is lucky. It comes with being Irish I guess.

Of course she found me which was her greatest discovery.

She also gets so many gifts for the tearoom from her customers.

The latest came from a regular customer who was in on Thursday with her granddaughters.

She asked Ma if she’d like to have her grandmothers display cabinet for merchandising her treasures.

Of course Ma said yes and the lady returned yesterday with this very beautiful piece of furniture.

It fits in perfectly with the period of the party room and is how the proud holder of all the silver that we’re given by other friends.

Sometimes I wonder if I was to set up a dog kernel would people bring me gifts too maybe a nice soft bed or a fancy bowl or even a few nibbles .

Anyway Ma is happy and so is the kind lady who gave the piece to her as she knows it has a happy home.

Greeting Precious Peeps it’s me your positively passionate Pitty here to propel you into a wonderful weekend.

To start with the good news is it rained all day yesterday so the humidity has fallen along with the temperature and we have moved from trip digits to the 80s.

Add to this that Granny doesn’t have to water for the next week.

Poor Consuelo will have to work double duty at the pool though because with the rain comes leaves and for some reason soil too. We haven’t quite worked out why.

Anyway for the rest of the weekend when my Uncle Jim has Fair Days it is going to be BEAUTIFUL just like me.

I’m glad for him because he works hard to make this event run smooth. Of course my PawPal cousin Libby Grace helps him out.

She’s big enough to pull a tractor by herself but I bet my teeth are stronger.

Whatever you are doing stay cool like me and enjoy as much good fried fair food as you can wrap your chops around.

As always your beloved beauty Pits Perfect

Blessing#2486-Fine for the Fair

Fences may well protect you from a deer invasion but there is something eating my Ma’s Black Eyed Susan’s that they are not holding back.

Whatever it is is going for the flowers.

Could it be a bunny? They have been spotted around the ranch as well as squirrels and chipmunks.

Putting on my Sherlock Holmes hat I’d say that they’d have to be on their hind legs to reach the flowers but that’s a possibility.

In any case this is causing Ma to be anxious. She is very into bad omens and all that rubbish.

I’ve told her to chill that the niece and I will be happy to hunt the critters down as soon as we move in.

How do you handle your hoomans when they feel at odds with nature?

Maybe the best thing to do is take the niece’s advice and just smack her one.

Blessing#2485-On the Lips

Precious Peeps it’s your personal Princess here to heave you over the humpty!

I know that since I entered your life Wednesdays have been less woeful.

It’s a delight to bring a little sunshine to your hearts!

If I could I’d give you a giant kiss like the ones I give Daddy and Granny and that I try my best to give Grandpa.

It’s so important to show people that they are loved and appreciated.

Be like me and go smack a big one on someone in your family circle today

If they resist your charms give them your biggest smile and wiggle your bum as you walk away.

They will just think your crazy and there will always be others waiting for your attention.

Blessing#2484-Midweek TLC

I have a bladder stronger than Fort Knox.

It is currently 5:30 am and I haven’t had a pee for twelve hours.

See when it was bedtime last night there was a big storm rolling through.

Ma waited until it subsided before tempting me out but I refused as it was still pouring.

“Well you’ll have to hold it then Scoob” she graciously grunted and we went to bed.

I knew I could do it.

The only thing is that now that I’m awake and thinking about it I wouldn’t object to a quick sortie.

Sometimes I watch those videos on Facebook of dogs using their hoomans bathrooms and think that could be handy but then again who wants to go to all that trouble when all you need is to lift your leg on a tree.

Right must crack on now and get this job done.

I bet many of you reading this are jealous of my abilities! It takes a lot of concentration and contraction!!!!!!

Blessing#2483-High Performance

Well Sunday morning started with another storm so I was doubtful we would have our outing.

By the time the ancients returned from church the threat of further immediate meteorological action had passed so Ma said let’s go.

The Bro loaded up the truck and like the Hillbillies we all piled in.

It’s a tight squeeze with Ma and the Bro and me and the niece all in the front seat.

I do think we all look well though.

The Bro is the spitting image of Jethro and as for Ma she is definitely as good a match for Granny as anyone I know!

We had a lot of fun and did have a good dip.

This water works is still growing on me but I loved playing fetch with my new toy.

Blessing#2482-Sunday Splash

We’re in that tropical sort of cycle where it is hot hot hot for hours until enough humid air rises to create a BIG thunderstorm.

JAWS is apoplectic with fear.

I do my best to calm her by licking her ears.

You know I am really quite a kind critter.

Still she goes in shaking until the storm has passed.

We have a friend who has a Pitty and it would seem their Princess does the same thing.

We have to check the forecast carefully for today because the pool party may have to be postponed for us canines since we can’t put you know who in the house if it storms as she may knock over paint or leave her in the truck as she might die.

Let’s see what happens worse come worse we’ll send the Bro and Ma with the first haul of shelves that have been cleared and I’ll stay home and take care of Dad and the niece.

Blessing#2481-Playing by Ear

Even though we have enough junk in our current house to sink the ark Ma can’t resist a bargain when she sees one especially if it’s canine.

So it was that yesterday on the way to the tearoom, having set Consuelo to work in the pool, she happened on a few yard sales.

She is like a homing pigeon when it comes to finding these.

She prefers things priced at a dollar or below so when this critter spoke to her and she saw the price tag of ten cents she just couldn’t resist.

It has been taken to the ranch and a pot of impatiens placed in its belly.

I am not too jelly as I know it is an inanimate object even though it has a waggly tail.

It might scare off a chipmunk or two but anything bigger will need to wait for my move.

Blessing#2480-Rusty Ruff

Precious Peeps it’s sweet little meme here to whistle you into a wonderful weekend.

I have it on good authority from Granny that we’re all piling in the truck like the Beverly Hill Billies and heading up to the ranch on Sunday for a pool party.

I wasn’t so enamored with that swimming last time but since then I have been toasted to a crisp by this heatwave so it is sounding a little more appealing.

Granny also tells me she salvaged a toy for me from the heap that she found in the shed.

They have been irradiated by U.V. for the past four days so should be pretty safe to puncture by Sunday.

What are you doing this weekend? I hope you are as enthusiastic as me. It’s always good to be upbeat rather than grumpy like the Gizz.

Be like me keep those pearlies polished and smile smile smile.

Blessing#2479-Flossing

I am happy to report that all the trash accumulated by Ma and Pa over the past week’s purging has been placed at the curb so I no longer have to negotiate walking around it in the kitchen.

Dad is busy working his way through a literal mountain of papers so I’m pretty sure that there will soon be more piles around.

It’s amazing how much junk humans accumulate.

We canines are much easier to house. All we need is a soft spot to sleep and a Nyla or two to help us manage anxiety.

As for dishes we share a water bowl and have only one vessel each for our dinners.

I think that humans need to learn from us and adjust the kennels accordingly.
