Precious Peeps Pits Perfect here to help you holler over the hump.

Surprise surprise I am in the dog house.

See while granny was baking I got busy upstairs.

I’d heard the Olympics in the city of light were “termine” so I decided Dad no longer needed his pretty pillow that said PARIS!

It was doing my civic duty as a citizen of the USA to prepare for LA so I eliminated all traces of PARIS.

Granny was not well pleased when she found my handiwork but in picking up the stuffing she had a close encounter with the dust between the bannisters so I did her a favor in getting that taken care of.

Aren’t I just the sassiest sister, so stinking smart.

Dear reader this is not a joke.

Our quiet little corner of Ohio has a big bad issue.

A coyote with a pup was spotted on a door camera a few days ago.

A killing of a fawn was then reported.

Add to this the fawn auntie Denise found dead two houses up from us three weeks ago and we all start to get a bit spooked.

The icing on the cake if you can call it that was this apparition in my pal Remingtons yard yesterday morning.

Now friends that is one seriously large coyote and if my eyes are not mistaken I’d say it’s mother may have been up close and personal with a wolf.

So we are all looking out for each other and have been informed by the authorities if we encounter the wild ones face to face to “make noise”

Please inform Dad that I’m practicing if you hear him complaining

It was an unusual Sunday because Ma went out.

She usually vegetates after Church and we have a nice nap before a lengthy stroll.

Yesterday she went to see a musical show called RENT at the Palace Theatre in Marion.

It was performed by a local cast but she said they were like broadway stars.

She was away for a very long time and I was sad.

Fortunately the Bro was off so we could hang out with him and he did “job” duties but he has no interest in walks.

I’m glad Ma is usually a stay at home sort and not one who galavants like some girlies or I could get very chunky.

When the Bro returned from work on Friday night Ma informed him of my misdemeanor.

Oh course he was initially irritated that I had pricked the Pitty.

He got over it quickly though.

Not one to bear a grudge is the Bro.

He too looses it sometimes with his daughter especially when she nukes his pillows and pants.

Secretly I sense he even appreciates my endeavors to keep her in check

I’ve been in the dog house.

When I returned from the groomers on Thursday Ma took me and the niece for a trot.

Truth be told she was showing off my posh new hair cut that cost ten times more than hers!!!!

We met a neighbor at the school bus stop and the niece was all over him like a bad rash.

He was patting and pampering her and it was just more than my shattered nerves could bear.

Being at the groomers is exceedingly exhausting and this just tipped me over the cliff.

So I tore into the terror and inflicted two small incisions in her innards.

You would have thoughts I’d committed murder.

Ma didn’t speak to me for FOUR HOURS until the niece started chasing me round the living room and was clearly restored to her painfully “Pittiness”

I am now forgiven but my reputation is in tatters.

I really am a decent dog this is just another example of the injustice inflicted on me by this interlocutor!

Precious Peeps Pits PERFECT here to propel you into the most wonderful weekend ever.

It really started for me yesterday when Granny threw the Gizz in the car and took off!

I wasn’t even a tad jelly as I knew where he was going; the groomers.

He hates it and it gave me the greatest delight knowing how miserable he would be. For him it is comparable I guess to the Trump team watching the DMC!

The Gizz you see needs groomed because unlike me he was born ugly not perfect.

His stinking coff gets matted and smelly like the tatty old mongrel he is.

I on the other hand remain sleek and shiny all year round.

Oh how wonderful it is to be beautiful.

There is no one, not even Kamala, although she is tough competition, quite like me!

Ma and Auntie Paula have got a big new fancy sign for their shops.

They are praying it helps them drum up more business as they should be more visible to passing traffic.

I’m hoping it works as Ma will have more money for treats.

She’s taking me to see it today as I’m getting my long awaited short back and sides at the groomers before it heats up again.

I think the sign looks fab but I’m a bit miffed that Woodford, Miss Paula’s puppy features and I don’t.

I understand that canines are not usually associated with tea paraphernalia but I’m just saying that I’m very helpful in the kitchen when it comes to conducting quality assurance on scones and such.

Oh well I’ll forgive the old gal if she agrees to share a super Scooby snack.

I thought Ma would never go to bed these past nights.

She’s been watching the conference in Chicago and all the big speakers come on so late. Don’t they know that ancients should be in bed by nine!!

I fell asleep several times.

My speeches will be much shorter and to the point and we will all be tucked up by ten latest.

I have now decided on my theme.

All we all need is love.

There will be no need to dig for a song!

Don’t tell anyone about my relationship with Nala or I may loose some of my credibility as a truthful type.

Blessing#2168-Short and Sweet

After our trot to the park yesterday Ma went as usual to get washed. I thought she’d drowned.

After an hour we discussed and decided that Nala should break into the parents quarters. The niece knows how to open doors and is on occasion useful.

We discovered Ma buried in a mountain of clothes.

She’d gone looking for a particular tea shirt and while she was digging for it the whole pile fell down.

So she decided to tidy the tees and that gave rise to tidying the sweats and that gave rise to tidying the scarves and then the leggings and then the jeans and so on and so on.

It was an endeavor of endurance but she felt pleased with the outcome and that’s what counts.

Started the week on a happy note!

Blessing#2167-Overdue Order

Hope you had a great weekend. Mine was quite lazy.

On Saturday Ma went to the rescheduled retreat at the prison and Dad and I vegged while the niece was in the land of nod.

Ma did the groceries on the way home and snagged a giant 16 inch Mama Cozzi supreme pizza in Aldi for wait for this $4.61! We had that for dinner as she didn’t want to cook.

She also « stubbled » on 4lbs of baby back ribs for just $6 so we’ll be wrapping our chops around those sometime this week.

On Sunday Ma went to church alone but stuck a bread pudding in the oven before she left so we ate that for brunch and then had a siesta.

She made us chicken curry for dinner as we hadn’t had nearly enough yumminess yet.

Say nothing but I fear the plans for slimming have been scuppered but she says she has to build Dad up.
