Three days in a row we’re getting a car ride.

This one will be to the vets for our annual physicals.

I always know we’re going there because Ma asks Pa to remind her to put our poop in different colored bags. I’m getting the blue one with the pineapple design and Jaws just a plan black one.

We will be having our shots also to keep us strong and healthy for another year.

This, therefore is a good occasion for me to pitch in on the vaccine debate.

I urge all of you to reflect on whether you would prefer to be bitten by a dog that has had it’s rabies vaccine or not.

Now I do not intent to stick my choppers into anyone anytime soon as I’m a good dude.

There may however be less friendly or frightened furballs out there.

So do the right thing and take a prick for the peace of the public. No frothing at the mouth and mind blowing madness please.

Sometimes I think the PIT is mad.

For no reason she takes to barking!!!

Now of course I bark myself but it’s always at deer or bicycles or people or other dogs or squirrels treading on my territory.

The THING on the other hand just all of a sudden and out of no where takes to barking at nothing or no one.

Ma keeps telling everyone to ignore her but there is only so much of it Dad and the Bro can take and then they start screaming at her.

She doesn’t care she’ll keep at it and then just as quick as she started she stops.

We have no explanation for this other than that she’s a nutter or is aspiring to take to the stage.

Has anyone else experience of Pitty pop stars? Maybe I could be her manager!

So today is a bit crazy. AGAIN!!

We have a viewing at 10:30 am and another at 5:00 pm.

So no church for the Ma and Pa.

Instead we are all piling into the car and the humans are going to have BRUNCH!

We will then return to the homestead and snooze.

That done we plan to repeat and go get carry out for dinner and eat it in the car.

I’m hopeful that I may be fed at some point during the day but even if I’m not to get two car rides in one day is more than any dog could wish for.

I’m so happy!!

Blessing#2572-Going for a Spin

Do you have nights when you wake up multiple times for no reason.

Ma and hence me just did.

It’s not like we had indigestion or anything like that. Maybe it’s because we went to bed too early.

You get into that cycle though and it becomes repetitive.

We started thinking about the Pope and the King getting together to say their prayers so we decided to say ours too.

No disrespect to the Almighty but it’s a great way to get to sleep again.

Try it and see next time you’re having a slumber situation.

Bet by your third Our Father you’ll be back in dreamland.

Good for the mind, body and soul!

Precious Peeps it’s the PERFECT one here to propel you at speed into a wonderful weekend.

I’m not quite sure what I’ll be doing. All depends on viewings. To be honest I’m hoping there are none so I can relax and enjoy some quiet me time.

It’s hard work being a Princess. So much correspondence and social media content to contend with.

Of course I also need to spend time on facials and grooming.

That is one thing I have to say the stinking Gizz is good at. He can slobber over me anytime. Keeps the coat glossy!!!

If some handsome hunk like Remington were to call I’d of course drop these do nothing plans in an instant and go cavorting through the fields.

Always believe dear ones that something wonderful is about to happen.

Trust me this perspective is so perfect for a Pitty that’s what makes me so proud to be a star.

Keep up the good work of being just like me!

Blessing#2570-Personal Party

Do you ever wonder why humans lost their fur?

It’s most inconvenient when you’re dying to get out to pee that Ma has to put on about fifteen layers and then look for gloves and such like.

If she was hairy like me then she’d be much swifter.

What sense does it make?

Maybe if ancient Homo sapiens spent a lot of time diving or swimming it could be useful.

Or maybe it was a mechanism to keep their big brains cool but why do they still have hairy heads?

I’d hate to keep you up at night thinking about this as I’m sure Google has an answer but I just thought I’d put it out there.

The PIT has a lot less hair than me does that mean she’s on the same track as man?

Perhaps that’s why she so stupid and stubborn.

I’ll stick with my locks because this evolution malarkey is crazy!

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

It’s a very confusing time of year.

The morning is cold enough to need the heat on but then the sun comes out and it feels all summery again.

Our impatiens and periwinkles are still going strong yet just inside the door our Christmas cactus is blooming.

Sometimes you just gotta go with the flow don’t expect everything to happen as it’s meant to. Some things are ahead of their time other hang in long after they should have called it quits.

Be like me savor every bit of summer while bearing in mind that the holidays are just around the corner.

Sure the trots may be a little shorter and faster but the taste of winter is so comforting.

See the glory great hearts and be like me happy with every moment even a high humpty.

Look for your surprises today and I’ll talk to you Friday.

As ever PERFECT!

Blessing#2568-In The Pink

Did you have a good Diwali. We had gulab jamuns and jelebis.

The gulabs were mini ones that Dad found in the frozen section of the Indian grocery and they were delicious.

So very very sweet and cute to boot.

Dad said when he was little they didn’t get sweets very often so it was a big treat at Diwali when they did.

Ma told me she only experienced Diwali once in India itself and it was like Christmas on steroids. That was 39 years ago!!!!

It strikes me that there are many similarities between most of the big religious festivals. It’s all about light coming out of darkness and good triumphing over evil.

Wonder why sweets always get involved too. Maybe it’s something to do with overcoming bitterness.

Regardless I enjoyed and hope to polish off some more this evening.

Well we made up for Saturday by having a lovely Sunday.

It rained all day so trots were tiny.

Having nothing else to do but watch news Ma made guacamole before she and Pa went to church.

When they came home Ma couldn’t wait to try her guac on salad as an alternative to ranch. She fired two poached eggs on top too. The eggs got a bit overcooked because she doesn’t like runny whites.

Did you know avocados contain persin a substance that can make dogs puke. I knew there was a reason I prefer ranch!

Anyway after that we had a snooze and then we were energized so we did a bit more clearing out of clothes in Ma’s closet.

After a dose of BBC Drama, Jane Eyre in this instance we made sausage rolls for dinner. Not the healthiest but hearty for a rainy day. The Bro loves them so Ma said it would be a treat for him!

Sausage rolls you’ll be pleased to know are not toxic for dogs so I happily helped scoff some of Dad’s.

Ma called Auntie Hema as she always does on Sunday afternoon and they chatty chatted for a while.

We then binge watched more Rick Stein just so we could dream of visiting all the places he goes and enjoyed a very relaxing time on the couch. That Burgundy sure looks sweet.

All in all an A+ Sunday

Blessing#2566-Five Stars

Well Ma’s day off didn’t exactly turn out as she’d hoped.

She first went to CVS to pick up a prescription. It wasn’t ready so they said come back in twenty minutes. No problem!

She went to see a rummage sale but there were so many people she decided she’d rather shop than rummage.

She returned to CVS. They said come back in ten minutes they’d been busy.

She went to Kroger to get soda. It’s just across the road so no problem.

Finally when she returned Dad’s prescription had disappeared from the system.

By this stage she was feeling the need for blood pressure tablets herself.

She gave up and went to another store to browse but was disappointed so decided to come home only to get a call from a customer who was at the tearoom and whose booking Ma had somehow managed to erase.

Do you think she felt miserable or what!

I smoothed her nerves with a good cuddle and Dad made pizza for dinner so she has almost recovered.

Just goes to show you shouldn’t rest more than one day a week.

That’s today !!!!
