Precious Peeps it me the PERFECT PITTY here to heave you happily over the humpty.

I am in heaven. My Dad found a bargain on Facebook market place.

It’s a 65inch flat screen TV. He got it Monday and it’s for the living room in our new house.

Until we sell this house and move it is to be lodged in our chamber.

It takes up the entire desk. That’s OK because dad doesn’t use the desk any more.

I was surprised Granny didn’t have a fit when she saw it but she was pretty cool with it.

So now when there is a big footie game on or a Grand Prix or such Dad and I can pretend we are there.

This is probably the closest I’ll get to the movies so I’m hoping we’ll also watch some oscar worthy films.

Be like me enjoy every opportunity to lie in bed and enjoy some good viewing. There is nothing as cosy as a wet old day with a blanket up to your nose and a bit of light entertainment.

If I’m not too engrossed in a miniseries I’ll talk to you Friday.

In the meantime know that in life every cloud has a silver lining or is that a silver screen!

Love y’all

We had a lovely little Monday. A great start to the week.

Despite her throbbing thumb Ms baked enough scones to see her through the next week or two. See she freezes them so they are always fresh.

We sampled and declared them good. Quality Assurance approved.

Dad made yogurt so it was a hive of cottage industry.

For dinner Ma made homemade sausage rolls that are in the Bro’s top ten preferred food list. They run a close third to Steak and Beef Wellington.

I like them myself but since Ma puts onion and garlic and celery in them I’m only allowed a tiny taste.

You would think Ma won the lottery because Aldi has puff pastry on sale for $3.99. They usually don’t stock it so it’s probably seasonal. That’s a great price less than half what she she paid in Kroger last time the Bro had a craving for the delicacy.

Our freezer is now jammed packed with the airy material. With a bit of luck it will still be around for a few more weeks for her Victorian Christmas!

Ma sometimes has a sore shoulder. She puts this down to our tugging on trots when we want to worry wildlife.

Last night she told Dad that she was going to Deep Heat it. Man that rub stinks and she used a metric ton of it.

Here’s what happened though.

No sooner were we snuggled up in bed with a hot but pain free shoulder than she took an almighty intense pain in her right thumb.

No matter what way she turned the thumb throbbed and the pain radiated up the inside of her wrist and arm.

We wracked our brains as to what could have caused it. If it had been a sprain from one of our “forced extensions” wouldn’t she have felt it at the point of the pull?

Could it be gout? She has been hitting the sunflowers seeds as a snack pretty heavily these past days.

Could it be carpel tunnel syndrome from too much typing for me? The right thumb definitely does most of the work.

Maybe it is repetitive stress injury from holding heavy teapots and pouring too much tea.

Or is it possible that the pain in the shoulder is escaping via the thumb.

Remember that old rhyme about bones being connected. If one joint relaxes is it possible a trapped nerve emerges and bingo you have activated a new issue.

It’s a bit better this morning but if you have ever experienced something similar please share so I can reassure her she hasn’t gone nuts.,

Well that’s the fashion show extravaganza over till spring!

I did enjoy trying out all the new ideas and Ma said that they went done well.

She had some cranberry cake leftover so we had to Google if dogs can eat cranberries.

You’ll be please to hear that they do and that they even offer some health benefits.

So as soon as I hit publish with my paw on this edition Ma and me will be hoofing it downstairs to partake of said festive food for brekkie.

Don’t what ever you do tell Jaws or she’ll be scraping her chamber door to get in on the act too.

Of course she’d eat anything unlike myself who is a “fin bec”!

Ma was at work but we who remained at home had a very frustrating day.

We’d arranged to have our gas fireplaces serviced in time for winter.

The company said their technician would be arriving between 8:00 and 10:00 am but at the 2:00 pm there still was no show!!!

In between serving tea Ma called the company SEVEN times. They kept saying the technician would call back.

Nothing!

We seriously started to wonder if the company was for real.

Without doubt the person answering the phone was not based in Dublin Ohio!

On the EIGHTH call they eventually told Ma that the technician had been delayed at an earlier call.

Now this makes the blood boil especially if you’re Irish.

Precious Peeps are y’all ready for a wild weekend? I’m here to WIZZ you into a wonderful one.

Mine is starting early because my darling Dad is off work today. We’re going to hang out all day together and snooze and snack and snooze some more.

I love days like this. We get so much good rest and relaxation. He needs it because he’s been on nights and is on the 3:00-11:00 shift tomorrow.

Granny has her fashion show with auntie Paula so she’s been up since well before dawn making her specials.

The stinking Gizz was sniffing around her heals but I was good as gold and stayed in my chambers.

I hope you’re all feeling just as fine as me. Of course I know that no one can beat my smile or sassiness but you can try. give it that winsome look if your feeling far from fab.

Sleep and some good steak helps so eat up and take it easy and be just as precious and perfect as a Pitty Princess. Well nearly!

The aurora is back in our area. Auntie Denise saw it Tuesday but we didn’t as we were already in the land of nod.

Here’s her pic of the phenomenal phenomena!

It was meant to reappear around sunset Wednesday so we took a peak but nothing doing.

Guess you have to be willing to wait it out and you know Ma is not of a patient disposition.

It does seem that it’s paying us visits more often.

Some years ago it was one of those things you might have on your must do bucket list.

It’s like a Chanel purse. Once everyone has one they are no longer so widely sought after.

Well maybe not quite. I’d still be pleased if it showed up in my Christmas stocking as a trip to Iceland!

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

Does your hill seem higher when you know you’ve got a lot to do?

Granny says hers does and she isn’t quite sure how she is going to make it to Sunday as she’s got so much packed into the next days.

I told her to take one paw and just put it in front of the other and step out and she’ll be just fine.

Of course I know she only has two paws to my four so that makes everything double trouble but still the principal is the same.

I also told her I’d help with the cleaning and gave her an excessively large slobbery kiss.

That’s when giant jaws come in handy.

Be like me wise and wonderful and I’ll speak to you on Friday.

In the meantime I’m blowing bonus bubbly kisses your way!!’

It’s way too early for the snowballs on my tootsies but it’s happened.

We were surprised the white stuff stuck on Sunday night but it did.

There are still leaves on the trees which is a bit crazy.

I don’t mind snow in small doses although it’s not conducive to long trots.

My preference is to look at it from the sofa or ideally the car.

For sure this won’t last and I’ve no doubt next week it will be tropical once again.

In the meantime a good excuse to hunker happily at home and test some more of Ma’s experiments. To date they have been delicious disasters!!

Cousin Krishna is a source of joy and wisdom in our lives.

Yesterday he brought to our attention that silent is an anagram of listen.

Ma says she’s doesn’t know how she didn’t know this but she just didn’t.

There are certainly many other ah-has knocking around us all the time but this particularly one makes you wonder is it just coincidence.

There is no doubt that to listen you have to shut your own trap unless of course you are talking to yourself.

For sure when it comes to engaging with the almighty the point is definitely a good one.

Speaking of which have you ever noticed that God and Dog is another anagram!

No coincidence there my friends it’s all about our loving, trusting and forgiving nature.
