Ma wore her new sweater to work on Thursday. Auntie Paula said it was lovely and so did Dad.

Ma wasn’t happy with it though. The sleeves were too not right and she wasn’t keen on the length either it wasn’t “boxy”.

So go for it. Guess what she did?

After working all of January on the wretched weave she started ripping it out this morning. The niece tried to help and got an earful!

Having unwound one sleeve Ma took the rest to work and has it almost all unpicked and is ready to start over.

Now reader tell me is this woman sane!

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect here to get your weekend off to a swell start.

That hateful beast that calls himself an uncle pretends to be busy taking care of our household.

What he neglects to tell you is that I’m working while he’s sleeping.

I bust my butt cleaning. Nothing superficial about my efforts I go deep into every crevice.

You have no idea how much muck that miserable matted mess that he dares to call a coat brings into my palace.

I earn every morsel I eat I can tell you.

Hope that the White House is ready to dig the dirt if he ever gets there. Of course that won’t happen who’d ever vote for such a stinker!!

One of my passions is peaking out the window.

I do it more than anything else except sleeping.

I see it as my personal responsibility to protect our ranch and make sure no running, biking or barking critters come anywhere close to Ma.

While I am busy the THING chews and chews and chews.

Now what value does that add to any pack?

Except perhaps should I need her, she might be able to take out any intruder at a snap with her finely chiseled choppers.

Diversification is the word of the day!

You have got to give it to Ma she will try almost anything to generate business.

The teapot thing sort of suits the concept the latest edition is somewhat questionable.

Flowers!

Yes my dear devotees that was what we were doing last evening making daffodils and pansy’s.

She almost had a fit when the niece took off with a finished daff and demolished it.

It was really funny but not nearly as crazy as this crochet.

Tad late on the Banter today. We didn’t get to bed until way past our usual time because Ma had to finish her latest “PROJECT”.

I am seriously concerned for her wellbeing

See she has started to crochet clothes for teapots.

Says they are very traditional and are called a COSY!!! Great fit for the tearoom!!!!

Heaven help me as she has a lot of wool left!

We had such a nail biting game last night between the Detroit Lions and the San Francisco 49ers.

Detroit were 17 ahead after the first half but the 49ers came back to win by just a few points.

We were roaring for the Lions as they’re on our doorstep and as well have never made it to the superbowl.

All the excitement meant Ma got her sweater finished.

It’s far from perfect!

The collar lies too low so needs a few extra rows and the arms would suit an orangutan so she’s debating whether to rip some off. That might be frustrating unpicking things so she may just roll them up.

Anyway I inspected things and still gave her a star for meeting her goal. You’ve got to encourage her. She’s a feeble minded soul.

Blessing#1961-Box Ticked.

I do my best to educate the niece but it’s an uphill battle.

She’d eat anything including soft furnishings, Lego, liver and onions heck she’d even eat lead.

Each morning I explain in my most patient voice that if she’d turn her nose up at the kibble like me she’d get tasty morsels to tempt her.

Alas no! She head dives into it and clears the whole bowl in seconds.

Another good reason not to bring her to the White House when I’m elected. She’d never survive a state banquet!

Poor Auntie Denise almost had a seizure!

She saw a post on our local county Facebook page about a dog that was found running loose half way between our home and where Ma works.

It looked so like me as you can see that she thought maybe I’d chased Ma’s car for some additional much needed exercise.

Now I’m fit as a fiddle as you know so ten miles would not be hard for me.

It’s maybe worth considering! Anything to rid myself of the PIT!

Should any locals be interested my Doppelgänger has not been claimed as yet so should be available for adoption.

Wonder would they trade him for a Princess?

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect here to get your weekend off to a wonderful start.

Ignore any nonsense that you hear from the Grey Gizzard about my perfume. It is branded Pure Pitty and Dior has yet to discover its top notes.

I share it with anyone who wishes to snuggle up with me but enough of that on to philosophy!

You must never lets your light be dimmed by dumbness.

Those you cannot see the benefits of squirrel hunting or bird chasing simple lack soul.

Ignore them and plod on regardless.

Get out and shout and shake and sing this weekend. Don’t be dampened by drizzle.

Ma is of a very philosophical nature.

When it pours all day she always says to me « fear not Scoob it’s a free car wash day »

It better be free because she’s making no money at the tearoom. Who’d go out in this?

As I’m part poodle my coat goes curly when it gets wet so currently I look like I’ve had a perm.

Ma says it’s like going to the groomers only less stressful.

I concur.

The niece has virtually no hair at all so she just gets soaked.

Mind you any sort of bath is good for her as she’s such a stinker.
