Things could not be worse.

Not only has Ma abandoned me for Belfast she has taken up with a kitty.

Now as you know Ma is strictly a canine companion so what the heck is this.

Not only does she send me a snap of the moggy it’s taken from her bed.

I refuse to accept such monstrous management.

I’m calling Auntie Denise now! Two can play at this game!!!!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here to heave you over the humpty.

Granny as you know is in Ireland with Auntie Carol.

She is currently cavorting around the countryside with a Staffordshire Terrier who goes by the name of CLYDE.

Being of a romantic nature Granny put two and two together and sent me his snap.

Now I admit the dude is delightful.

Just look at his pointing paw.

It’s like when Hans Holbein went to the court of Cleves and sent back that portrait of Anne for Henry to decide if he wanted to get hitched to her.

Dilemma darlings!!!!

What do you think? Should I accept this proposal to make the perfect pairing?

Or should I stick with Remington?

Hope all this romance has diverted your attention away from any midweek morbidity..

Always be like me and keep smiling!!

It was so terribly higgledepiggledee yesterday.

Ma had a doctors appointment at 8:15 so no walk except the very minimum sotie that the Bro offers.

She rushed back so the Bro could have her car to go to work since his packed up.

She then packed her little overnight bag for her trip as she’s too tight to pay for check in luggage.

After that she watered all the plants as she is the only one who thinks of that. Trust me there are enough to start a small jungle.

Only after all that did she take me and Jaws out for a pee.

By now it was lunch time so she gobbled down some noodles and bean curd enhanced with super spicy Ma Po Tofu and retired with me for a quick shut eye.

At 2:15 I got my dinner and then the niece got hers and we had a short trot before the Bro returned to whisk her off to the airport.

Jaws and I were left with Dad.

Everything was upside down and backside foremost and made me feel very anxious.

Today will be worse as the outings will be limited to twice around the yard.

I may run away.

You would think that if you were about to traverse the Atlantic you’d be keen to pack in as much sleep as possible in preparation.

No way!

My Sunday siesta was abruptly cut short when Ma started watching the Masters live from Augusta.

She, along with every other Northern Irish person not to mention a gazillion others like myself who claim Irish origin were roaring for Rory.

Oh my those first holes were hard to watch!

There are only so many cookies you can crunch to keep the nerves at bay especially those that contain no milk, egg, chocolate or other lubricants.

So slowly we migrated to the peanuts after all this was streaming live from Georgia. Later in the day she was driven to drink and took to the beer.

The screaming from Ma was nothing short of scary especially at the 11th and then the terror of the 13th! Could it be La Vie en ROSE but Rory turned around at the 15th!

Finally after the birdie by Rose at the 18th and the playoff Rory brought it home and with it a whole new meaning to “the wearing of the GREEN”!!!

Ma is starting to prepare me mentally for her extended absence.

She is going to Ireland on Monday and leaving me to take care of Dad, the Bro and the Niece.

There is only so much one dog can handle.

I may be unable to issue daily epistles in view of my enhanced work schedule but I’ll try my best to not disappoint you.

Just know that I’m always thinking of you and hoping you are doing the same for me.

I will suffer in silence and do my best not to nuke the niece and yes that is a tear in my eye!

Blessing#2376-Easter Endurance

Yesterday was National Pet day so Mom spoiled me by taking me with her to the new ranch and then to work.

We left at dawn as the water people said they could arrive anytime after 8:00 am.

I had to stay in the car apart from a few business sorties but it was lovely being with my Mom all day without having the naughty niece around.

Ma thought it best to leave her at home lest we took to fighting in the car while imprisoned.

We discovered to our delight that the dumpster had already been delivered for the rip out of the stinky carpets and bathrooms.

That work should start sometime next week.

I got to wander a little around the yard and found it to be filled with fantastic flora.

I’ve made my mark in multiple places so any neighborhood coyote understands that a new head honcho has taken over this establishment!

I’ll be giving you regular updates as work progresses. For now I’m happy to report I’m feeling at home.

Blessing#2375-Territory

Precious Peeps it’s PITS. I’m here to propel you into a wonderful weekend.

I see this as part of my life’s mission to render the rundown runts in each litter into robust rebels with a cause.

Bet you didn’t know I was so well read!

I’m doing my best in this season of stumbling stocks to bring smiles to ever face.

Sort of like the transformation that is starting at the new ranch.

Granny is off there at 7:00 this morning as the water is finally being switched on except it’s not really as it’s turned off at the mains since there is a burst pipe in the bathroom.

There may be other leaks that aren’t so obvious so even though we will have a supply at the street level we must wait till the plumber is there to check the full system and he is busy till Tuesday.

Now if this didn’t make you feel better I don’t know what will. No one can possibly beat that bubble of trouble!

Can there be any crazier person than Granny willing to take on such a challenge.

That’s where I get my guts from.

Be like me keep pushing ahead like a Pitty.

Blessing#2374-Transformer

This just won’t do!

I’m meant to be the treasure of retirees!

Alas no! Ma and Pa left home at 8:45 yesterday morning and returned at 4:30.

Fortunately the Bro started work at 11:00 so he let me out for a pee at 10:30.

It’s such a strain being in charge of the house and the niece for this amount of time.

She senses my anxiety too so she plays up.

Chewed up another one of the Bro’s pillows.

I kept us safe from all threats of invasion but I’m just exhausted!

I plan to sleep all day today once I get the trash out, have a long trot, see Ms off to the tearoom and eat lunch with Dad.

Precious Peeps it’s your Pretty Pitty here to help you over the humpty once more.

Granny and Grandpa are going to meet one of the contractors this morning to see if they can finalize the plans for the rip out of the stinky carpet at the RANCH.

Once that is done me and the Gizz may be allowed indoors. Until it’s gone Granny fears that our hyper sensitive snouts may be so overcome by the stench that veterinary bills could be incurred.

I keep telling Granny to chill that we are tougher than she thinks.

After all don’t I share a bedroom with my Dad?

Sometimes I’m misunderstood though so I’ll say no more.

Just hope for harmony and a home that hums with happiness.

Blessing#2372-Up and Out

Ma made a discovery yesterday.

She did something she’s never done before.

She stir fried cucumber.

Surprisingly it stayed super crunchy and even when the tomatoes and mushroom were soft and mushy the green gourd was crisp.

Now let me clarify that this particular little veggie had been dressed as a salad, soaked in balsamic vinegar dressing for a day but remained uneaten.

Could that be the reason for its remarkable performance?

Regardless, I got none of it as Ma amplified the heat of the moment with a monstrous amount of chili.
