You know the saying “like a fish out of water” well I was just lying snuggling with Ma a moment ago when it hit me.

No, not the fish but the fact that that orange ruffian can never take my place in bed.

If he did he’d die!

Oh I feel so much better knowing this.

My heart is warm with wonder.

Hope you get as good a kick start to your week.

I know you are all anxious to know about KONG so I thought I’d let him speak for himself.

“Howdy Hoomans great to hoedown with y’all” I’m swimming around in circles here at this new ranch just like a rhinestone cowboy!

They are all crazy! There’s the sheriff who is always moaning about something, the saloon owner who does all the cooking and sometimes sings, the sharp shooter who comes and goes at strange hours, the ugly grey coyote and this precious little Princess person who looks like Pocahontas!

Those of us who live in glass houses have a different view on the world than most! so check in with me gain soon”

Well I’m miffed. Stinking fish called me a coyote. He won’t be getting anymore of my airtime anytime soon!

Anyone got a stone handy?

I’m lying here beside Ma thinking how excessively cosy this new house is.

Everything is on a smaller scale which makes if feel like you’re being snuggled tighter.

I do love it very much and enjoy chasing balls in the back yard and trying to nab Nala.

All this running around makes a fellow excessively sleepy so I have been following a pattern of super slumber for days now.

It’s all making me a bit more mellow. I feel less likely to nuke the niece.

All in all I’m in fine fettle and hope you are too.

If not then repeat after me refresh, run, relax, refuel, refresh, run, relax, refuel, rest.

Precious Peeps it PITS, PERFECT as ever and here to whizz you into a wonderful weekend.

Sad about the olds kings wasn’t it. We have a new one though since yesterday. He is getting special drops to condition his water and has remained spritely so far. We have also learned we must not feed him more than he can eat in two minutes. That’s not much but I’ll give him lessons on whistling backwards!

His name is KONG as he is, we trust, a very robust and different type of King.

If he does OK we will get him a friend or two. If he croaks we will give up on fish and revert to a mammals only household.

I have agreed with Granny that I will talk to him each time I enter the kitchen which is every time the fridge door is opened.

I must say I do like KONG he is much easier to get along with than the stinking Gizz.

He’s a great mover and wiggles his butt almost a magically as me.

Of course he’s far from PERFECT like I mean no one is except yours truly.

I know that’s why you all love me so!

Hope you have a fun time and get to boggie a bit even if it’s only with a fish or around your kitchen island.

We’ll talk soon latest on the humpty. Hugs

We have been beset by a tragedy.

The Kings have all died.

They were swimming around happily until around six o’clock in the evening and then things deteriorated rapidly.

Ma had fried salmon for dinner and we wonder did that smell drive them to the brink.

They had been eating their little hearts out just two hours earlier.

We fear they may have over done it

We tried changing their water but to no avail.

We only had them for a day but we are so sad.

We plan to seek advice this morning at the pet store and try again.

We will always remember them though and thr joy they briefly brought

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

Yesterday as you might well know was the Epiphany, the twelfth day of Christmas when the wise men came to see baby Jesus. Granny said these were twelve days she’ll never forget.

Yesterday was also the closing on our old house when papers are signed and keys handed over and promise of transfer of large sums of money take place.

To celebrate and mark this very special occasion Granny had an idea.

We’d go and got new pets. So we all piled in the car and went to the shops. Granny and Dad went into the store and came back with a big bag and we went home.

Granny pulled a round glass bowl from the cupboard. It was meant for salad but had been buried unused for decades. So now it would be given purpose.

Into this bowl went three bags of water each containing a new family member! FISH!

Since the day was all about the coming of the Kings we decided to name them Balthazar, Caspar and Melchior or BALTI, CAS and MEL for short.

BALTI is the biggest and most flamboyant so he is Dads, CAS has a fancy wiggly tail so is Granny’s and Grandpa was landed with MEL who has a little black tip to his tail.

They are now safely swimming on where else but our kitchen island.

My nose is not in the least out of joint because I know that there will be more wagging tails to tell about these critters.

Be like me and accept with grace any dimwit idea of your Granny’s!!!

Just pretend she is smart and hasn’t lost it!

Love y’all!

Ma had to get gas yesterday evening so she took me along for the ride.

When we got home my leash got stuck in the consul that separates the front seats .

While I was literally hanging around waiting to be detached the blood surged to my head giving me a great idea.

The only way Ma could detach me was by removing the leash.

I saw my chance to explore the new neighborhood so I took off.

I will tell you it was great fun I hit at least ten back yards and crossed the main road FOUR times.

All the while Ma was running behind me screaming.

Eventually I did a loop back into our new neighbors yard and decided enough was enough and stopped.

Ma scolded me something shocking and told Dad and the Bro it was a miracle I wasn’t killed.

I slept well and dreamt of my adventure.

Blessing#2643-Safari

During our move we found many things buried deep in drawers that had never been used.

Our resolve is to use them or loose them.

So it is that these past days Ma has been having poached eggs regularly on smilie toast.

The poacher is plastic for microwave use and does the job very well.

The smilie maker is also plastic and requires you to commit to daily happiness by pushing it into your bread before putting the bread in the toaster.

I love these two things as I get share of their production.

Must rush as this has made me hungry.

Trotting in the snow is excessively tiring but it’s so comfy when you come back into your lovely warm kennel.

The niece and I called a truce and found our best spots to snooze.

Meanwhile, Ma listened to the news about Venezuela and chewed her nails. She is anxious about what is next.

We don’t know much of Maria Corina Machado but she did receive the Nobel Prize so she can’t be a bad sort. Her letter suggests she is supportive of the strike.

We’re glad we’re not humans but Ma has learned more about Venezuela in the past few hours than she ever dreamt she might.

I’ve reminded her that her worrying will not impact the situation and that she must sleep!

She said she’ll try.
