Yesterday was so boring for me but Ma had a good time at the prison.

The Retreat was on the theme fruits of the spirit.

I must say that when I thought about this I concluded that as a species we canines possess these in abundance.

Ma says she could use an injection to boost her levels on many of these!

Just be like me Ma.

Start by wagging your tail instead of your finger.

If nothing else it will give us all a giggle

I had to get up at 5:15 this morning as Ma has a “Retreat” at the prison. The volunteers have to be at security by 7:00 am and it’s a 40 minute drive to get there. So work that out and add in coffee and porridge.

I was lucky to get out for a pee and am miffed she is taking a day off and not spending it with me!!!

I’m hoping the Bro will take me further than the length of his arm when he surfaces but that might be wishful thinking.

At least I have Dad to reply on for treats when I give him my best begging eyes.

He’s not such a bad old soul even if he shouts at us sometimes when we get sassy with the barking.

Blessing#2291- The Look

Precious Peeps PITS here to project you into the weekend.

After much sleep I am almost restored to my perfect state unlike my Dads car that has been towed away.

Who knows if I will see it again. Depends on the assessment and if it is reparable.

I’ll just dream of times past touring in it!

In the meantime he has a fancy brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee that the insurance company arranged until a decision is reached on the wreck.

I’m not sure if I’ll land a ride in it as it’s super fancy and shiny clean and must be returned in the same condition.

I’ll settle for a spin in Ganny’s jalopy.

Anything’s better than nothing.

Thank you all for your messages and best wishes for the Bro.

He is OK taking anti inflammatory medicine and muscle relaxants for his whiplash.

Ma took him to work yesterday morning to pick up his computer things so he can work from home.

The niece and I went along for the ride.

After his work we went back to the hospital to get his meds. Heaven knows why they couldn’t have called a prescription into the local pharmacy

We then went another twenty miles to the pound to recover the car that he was able to drive home.

It’s was $120 to get it “released” and is a mess.

When Ma saw it she realized why the Bro decided to get his neck checked out.

Can you imagine what the other car must look like. Should be easy to trace you’d think.

The insurance so far have been helpful.

Let’s hope it can be fixed!

Hard to believe that in the space of just three years this beautiful brand new car has gone from gleaming to a wreck!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS here and I’m needing some help over the humpty myself today.

My Dad was in an accident yesterday late afternoon.

Granny had just made the dinner when he called to say someone ran into him when he was stopped at a traffic light.

The other car didn’t stop.

Dad called the police and the ambulance came too and examined him.

They thought he had whiplash so they put a collar on him and took him to hospital.

Poor Granny went and sat with him. Emergency rooms are full of drama. Not the sort you need on a Tuesday night though. Thank God for the people who work there.

Took a while as he had to have a CAT scan done on his neck just to make sure it wasn’t anything more serious.

The Gizz and me were bursting at home with poor old Grandpa.

When they eventually got home close to 11:00pm it was the greatest relief I ever had.

I’m still exhausted! Short trot today!

Blessing#2288-Resting Up

Yesterday Ma had to be seated and glued to the TV by 6:58 as it was her Craig’s first day as anchor on TODAY.

She likes him almost as much as me.

This makes me a tad jelly.

She thinks he’s such a good guy so wholesome and kind.

Tell me am I not?

I know he is handsome and wears neat suits but I would too if I was human.

He doesn’t have a beard like mine that’s for sure.

I wish him well though as I believe he has a dog so he can’t be bad.

Blessing#2287-New Day

I know I’m special!

No one has to tell me and I’m sure you agree.

What other dog do you know eats strawberries for breakfast.

That’s an advantage of having a tearoom that is running slow.

I bet not even the Queens corgis got strawbs even after garden parties.

To those of you who eat kibble my thought for the week is go on strike.

Strawberries are sweeter!!!

Blessing#2286-Fruity

Ma had to expend some more pent up passion yesterday by spending some more time stocking up.

This time on books.

A second hand book store in the tearoom town is closing and they were having a sale.

For $5 you got as many books as you could stuff into a plastic bag.

Of course Ma is gifted in this regard with all her experience of rummage sales.

Her bag was stuffed to the gills.

Even when she off loaded five for Dad to keep him sweet the bag still looked full.

She even got one for me too.

I quickly read it and gave it back to her to sell at the store.

It was really ancient. Published in 1947 but she found some older ones dating back to 1940.

Now all we can hope is that they sell so I can get some snacks.

Blessing##2285-Lots of Literature

You know when business is bad Ma has to comfort herself with thrifting.

So it was this week that she spent the time she’d ordinarily be washing dishes finding bargains at The Salvation Army’s store.

Now let me tell you what she found is a work of art. She even paid full price for it $7.99. Ma never pays full price!!!

It’s a gigantic Afghan blanket. Weighs exactly five pounds, that’s a lot of wool, is all hand done and never used.

Seriously the person who made this must have been crocheting for months. What patience and skill they had to make such a masterpiece.

You can only wonder why it ended up where it did.

Did no one love it?

Fortunately it’s found a good home now and Dad is grateful for the gift.

Like me it’s a lucky and very lovely rescue!

Blessing#2284-Rainbows

Precious Peeps it’s your very own Pitty Perfect here to propel you like a bob sleigh into a very white weekend.

We have more snow coming and it’s GREAT.

A tad torturous on the tootsies but it’s such fun to crunch through it and having a refreshing snack on it too.

I have been making love hearts for my beau Remington with my peepee.

Isn’t it fun the things you can find to do if you just put your mind to having fun.

Be like me and make your mark!
