I am excessively exhausted.

This clock changing malarkey has to stop.

That’s why you must elect me it’s right up there in my manifesto.

Ma was awake at 5:30 which is now 4:30 doing emails and of course making mistakes.

Who in their right mind does that at such an ungodly hour of the day.

Maybe she never adjusted to the time change when she moved from Europe to America.

Anyway I’m refusing to get up before 6:30 so she can type away and I’ll sleep if I can.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect!!

Did you see the beautiful card I sent Grandpa for his birthday?

Mine was definitely the most tasteful and tender.

Truth is Grandpa is OK but he’s not really my all time fav. That’s my Dad.

Do you know anyone else who is as lucky as me to get white chocolate buttons.

I feel so blessed. All I need is Dadzie he’s my hero.

Just wish he’d kill the Gizz then life would be perfect and I’d have more sweeties.

We are sneaking around here like Der Fledermaus because it’s Dads birthday and we have to get his pressies and cards on the table before he gets up.

We got him two bottles of his new favorite whiskey BARR’s. Ma says it good to support family even if they are distant she must be related to these people.

Also in the spirit of keeping the mind active we got him something a little more fun than a history book.

I put my own stamp on his card.

The thing as always is sucking up to him via Mom. I just don’t understand why Ma takes her side even on things like this.

Regardless let’s hope the main man enjoys his day. My message is the best!!!

When Mom was giving me some TLC yesterday she hit on a little lump by my eye.

She got the Bro to hold me tight and then she yanked it out hair and all.

I knew they were doing this for my good and not for fun so I didn’t have a go at them.

It was a tick.

Usually they are around in spring and summer and my frontline also does them in but this thing was still alive.

It was wriggling and nasty just like Jaws.

Ma flushed it down the toilet.

Good riddance to that.

If anyone has a similar disposal solution for Pitties please send directions!

Did you have a good time at Halloween?

We went crazy each time someone came to the door but not many peeps came.

See it was freezing and even snowed a little.

The Bro bought a ton of sweeties so we were sort of disappointed not more kids came by.

Oh well we know a certain Irish woman who lives a Twix and Snickers!!!

Ma had a melt down about midday yesterday. She was printing the certificates for her Kairos « Graduates » when the ink cartridge started to fail half way through the series of 36 and changed color from blue to pink. I kid you not!

Of course as soon as she changed the cartridge the whole series started over so she had doubles for some, pink for others and just so much waste which she hates.

I told she should have done them one at a time and not as a one button does it all but she wouldn’t listen.

Eventually they were done and dusted so we had lunch and then I took her for a TLC siesta.

It was another icky day so a good excuse to stay in and do nothing.

Eventually we resurfaced and made the bro one of his favorite dinners « Shepherds Pie »

He arrived in with a haul from the Amish store that included enough cold cuts to feed three dozen lumber jacks. He’s decided he’s making himself sandwiches instead of buying takeout at lunchtime.

He also brought us five pounds of milk chocolate buttons. I do love him even though he inflicted The THING on us. He’s so caring of our inability to eat regular chocolate.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect here to get your week of to a wondrous start.

It was a stinker of a day yesterday poured down most of the time which was just fine for me because Dad was home and we vegged.

Of course Granny had to get us out for the business and we all got soaked.

I looked my wet look wonderful as always. One shake and I’m sorted.

You should have seen the old grey Gizz though. He looked totally ridiculous. Has absolutely no waterproofing in his coat and then when it dries he looks like some later day Louis XlV all puffed up like a poodle.

I so enjoy seeing him look like a muppet. The jealousy in his eyes when he views my impermeable presence is priceless.

Garage sale season is over. That means Ma has to return to the thrift stores to seek treasure.

You can always tell if she finds something good because she can’t wait to get back home to tell Dad. She has to call him immediately!!!

So it was yesterday. She had a half hour to kill before the tearoom opened so she went to the Salvation Army Store and bingo she struck gold.

For the price of a pack of paper plates she walked away with twelve pristine teacups and saucers.

Plus a cream jug that will come in useful as a spare for busy days.

Add to this a good size salad plate and nine perfect salad bowls and she was in heaven.

There were also twelve side plates but the gold edging was a bit dodgy on them so they’ll be used but not put out for sale.

When this happens she gets all fired up especially when she looks them up on eBay and sees what they’re selling for.

It’s always good to have a reason to impose my wisdom upon the PIT.

Sometimes if I’m pinning her down Mom scolds me and tells be to leave off. Not these days though when she’s caused so much trouble!!

I am getting somewhat concerned though that in recent weeks she’s started to snap back when I go for her throat.

Depending on the angle you look at it those Jaws of hers can appear quite threatening. She probably could get most of my head in there if she tried.

Maybe I should try killing her with kindness. The shock might take her out.

Ma left Jaws and me to fight under Dads supervision while she had a shower yesterday morning. This is the usual practice BUT…….

Jaws was in a fierce mood. She was all fired up.

Raced up to her own room and grabbed a pillow. This one was new and unlike the previous ones she’d attacked it was filled with fine white down. Quite the little luxury item my friends!

She went at it like it was a Nyla and a snow storm of feathers ensued.

Dad didn’t notice but when Mom returned she sure did.

They had rained down into the living room but the scene in the landing was epic.

Ma grabbed the pillow and ran with it to the trash that had yet to be collected. The remainder is history but here’s the text to the bro!!!!! Put it like this Dads wrath was GREAT!!!!!
