Clearly Ma does not read my Banter.

Now I am used to being left « Home Alone » on Tuesday morning because the ancients go to their Tuesday Morning Group. that’s only an hour and a half.

Yesterday though they took off at 9:00am and at 1:00pm I’m still sitting at the door guarding and waiting for their return.

Fortunately the niece was in her own chamber.

When they got back do you know what the excuse was? They’d gone to the doctors to get their annual checks and at the practice the carpenter was in changing the doors in the surgeries so everything was delayed because the doctors had to jiggle around the rooms that were available.

Now I have never heard such a tale.

Add to this that they both got shot up for flu and Covid so had to wait for that plus, and here is where the truth comes, they went shopping.

If such abandonment occurs one more time I’m running off to live with Auntie Denise.

We had our first taste of the inevitable Winter Blast yesterday with wind roaring and a dusting of snow.

Man it is cold on the tootsies.

We felt sorry for the Bro because it’s a tough job when it’s cold outside to be under a car in a garage bay.

We warmed him up with a little rough and tumble and played shred the sock when he got home.

We also made him one of his favs. Homemade Mac ´n Cheese.

There was enough leftovers to do him for two lunches too. Should keep him heated from within.

The niece and I are united! Either we are going to take to drink or we are going to take our case to the International Court of Canine Rights.

From 12:45 until 4:30 yesterday we were locked up together in the brothers chambers while the humans partied.

We saw all the preparations and what did we get? A few pieces of apple, two ritz crackers and a milkbone as we were being incarcerated.

Ma said we would cause to much chaos as people were arriving and try to hard to graze on the grub.

Bah Humbug!

I’d have made the perfect Scrooge at this Christmas Carol and didn’t one of Dickens dude have a Pitty!

Support our claims for justice.

Yesterday could not possibly have been busier for Ma and the Bro but it was so stinking boring for me and the niece.

First, they entertained the Grinch at the tearoom then rushed home to head off for a birthday dinner at Bucas one if Columbus’s best.

What did I get? A trot no longer than your arm and kibble with Dad.

Having forced down as much as an experienced stomach could have anti pasta and chicken Alfredo they were beat and had to box the rest before heading to the blue jackets ice hockey game at Nationwide Arena.

The Jackets lost but the two had fun and returned home by 10:30 with copious quantities of food that I hope I’ll score some of today.

Must rush now got to prepare for our next event our annual Christmas Party!

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect here once more. Bet you weren’t expecting to hear from me again today.

It’s a momentous occasion you see. My dear Dad’s birthday.

He is just the best. He lifts my heart each time I see him.

I got him a big bag of cheese balls for us to pop together.

There is no one so sweet in the whole world as Dad.

I would do anything for him, well almost. Hope he tells Santa I’m so sweet!!

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

It’s the last week before Christmas and we have so many things planned I’ve lost track.

Do you think it’s too late to convince Santa I’ve been a good girl all year?

He’s really an old guy so his memory probably sucks. He’ll have forgotten about the pillows and the holes in the armchair!

Do you think he drinks whiskey? I know for sure tea won’t hack it for me! Granny is delusional!

Maybe I could get him sloshed when he comes to our house and he’d leave me lots!

Any strategies on recovering ground from past misdemeanors text me direct to Pretty@Pitty.com !

It would seem that my Granny was a lover of green. So much so that it is not one of my Moms favorite colors as she was often dressed in it at an early age and the walls and carpets of the homestead were also adored with said color.

Well all this to inform you that experiments were done yesterday at the tearoom to try to find the right hue for the Gala this weekend.

A certain seasonal gentleman who is partial to it too will be making a “surprise” appearance.

The color is stable in both a cold acidic medium (lemonade) and in a hot neutral (mint tea). That’s Mother’s food science rubbing off on me!!!!

For once I feel fortunate not to sample. It looks quite horrific but I see the same approach may be put to use for Saint Patrick too!!!!

Ma and Dad are going for blood letting this morning for their annual physicals.

It’s good to get this done before the end of the year so you can start afresh in January with one box ticked.

It means Ma doesn’t get coffee this morning or OJ or brekkie just hot water so she’s not exactly singing.

We only get a short trot too as she wants to be at the top of the line for the vampire.

The upside is they usually stop and get donuts on the way back so I’m looking forward to that.

In the meantime I’m taking care of the niece and playing doctors and nurses.

I’ve told her she is very sick and must rest. It’s a fib but it gives me peace

I am well known as an intellectual of some standing and am destined for the summit of public office in the near future.

Cousin Krishna obviously understands me well yet the chart he sent me this morning is clearly destined not for me but for Dad.

See books I find a little heavy.

Give me CNN instead.

Now if this same chart said snacks instead of books it absolutely would cause me to stir and would be entirely appropriate for selection of my Christmas gift.

I’m just putting this in print lest there be any cause for confusion for the big bearded one in Red.

While we are at it Ma says substitute scented candle for book and she’ll be all set too!
