Our house is like a zoo. Of course you know that already.

We had a newcomer yesterday that Uncle Sandy has identified as a Coopers Hawk.

It’s a real poser sat there on the summit of the eaves for ten minutes while Ma snapped away.

It blended in perfectly with the brick and was kinda fluffy.

Other critters are designed to blend in too except they are so audacious they just stand smack bang in the middle of your driveway eating crab apples.

I’m taking about Bambi’s bunch. Five of them waiting for me this morning.

When they eventually took off one took a tumble on our neighbors black top but like the old girl herself it got up and got on.

If you’ve never seen a deer skid it’s really very much like a cartoon. They are all legs and the legs go in all different directions. Very insightful for those who might wear stilettos.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect! So that stinker thinks I should eat less fiber. What does he know about the diet of Princesses?

Do you think the PoW is that shape by eating kibbles? I have it on good authority that she’s a fan of the green stuff too.

Regardless let me tell you I am not immune to a good tuck in on materials of animal origin such as that encountered on our sojourn at the park yesterday morning.

Fabulous Fawn was spotted by my good self and fortunately Auntie Denise captured the critter with her snapper. Great pics dearest!!

The babes Mom was there too keeping watch on the opposite side of our little path.

I did my best to get a bite but Granny and the Gizz were on guard.

See the tension on that leash and Granny groaning!!! She’s always giving off is Gran!

Next time it won’t hold!! I’m going to get a critter and eat a very great meat feast!!!

The BEAST is thick! In both the head and the mid section.

No matter how often I tell her to lay off the fiber she continue to chow down.

The consequences are horrendous.

See she ferments and farts and for fair fellows such as Father and me her outputs can be overwhelming.

Greenhouse gas emissions have exponentially expanded in our environment.

Can someone please eradicate her or tell the bro to buy bigger poop bags.

In my quest to become the leader of the free world I have been intensively investigating the wisdom of my predecessors. Man it’s tough going. Totally exhausting and mind blowing.

Prone as I am to the odd snooze I found this quote to be of particular value.

When in doubt, particularly when trying to impress, don’t be blunt be gloriously garrulous!

Last night Ma made Chicken Pot Pie. It was ready at six. She was proud of it! At eight the bro was still not home.

She was sending him missile tests. Where the $&?? are you. This dinner is ruined. He said he was still at work. She returned that she didn’t believe him so he sent her photos and on and on it went. She suspected he was sweet talking some gal!!

Well he eventually landed in loaded with Trader Joe’s goodies. Ma had asked him to stop by there and pick up the meringues she needs for her Gluten Free peeps.

He got some for us too even I can eat them and he got these yummy chocolate chip dunkers.

Once Ma ate three of these she was sweetened up and we all agreed the bro is a great shopper.

We should send him for the weekly groceries too we’d be living like Kings and Ma wouldn’t be nearly as nasty.

Blessing#1823-Super Snacks.

Delighted to report that I have been restored to my rightful place.

Auntie Brenda came to visit yesterday from upstate NY and JAWS tried to kill her with kindness.

Ma tried to calm the beast but she just wouldn’t give up trying to kiss Brenda so she was taken to her quarters.

I, in the meantime, was the epitome of good behavior and calm. Didn’t even beg for a single scrap at lunch.

Ma and Pa were delighted with me and I was invited to return to my room.

Fearful of a recurrence of the incident that took Ma out I have equipped myself with a device to avoid slippery slopes.

Should come in useful on the campaign trail!

Precious Peeps It’s Pits still basking in the glory of being the preferred pup in this palace.

Yesterday I feasted richly on brekkie and then ate bags of chips as Dad and I watched the rugby World Cup. Ireland slaughtered their opponents in a fashion I’d like to apply to the Gizz. Has anyone ever score 82 before?

After this excitement we went to bed for an extended siesta while the Gizz, grumpy as always, was left with the Grands.

Having rested well we surfaced to eat dinner and Granny took me and the ugly one for a trot.

By then it was time for the weekly dose of Yorkshire and All Creatures Great and Small. It was the Christmas repeat with the wedding that wasn’t

Don’t you love a good romance.

I’m confident a handsome Prince like James will one day come and rescue me too! Granny would also like to be rescued if Siegfried happened to be in the area!!

Blessing#-1821-Princess in Waiting

Precious Peeps It’s Pits PERFECT!

I am ravenously happy to be in the spotlight because the stinking GIZZ is in DEEP trouble.

As you know I am usually the victim of Grandpa’s wrath but since the GiZZ caused Granny to suffer he is Persona non Gratis with Gramps.

It is a delight to see him slither around like a snake.

Reminds me of Uriah Heep all smarmy and sycophantic.

He really scored an own goal when he caused the old gal to stumble and put his stamp on her.

To rub salt in the healing wound I’m on best behavior for the next few days so I can soak up the glory of being a goodie while it lasts.

I got into deep trouble yesterday with Ma.

First, when we were putting out the trash a bunny crossed our path and since I hadn’t yet had brekkie I thought it would be sweet!

So I took off and put it like this it took me a while to come back. Since it was dark all Ma could do was wait and pray.

She forgave me understanding my desire for a little early morning entertainment particularly on my SPECIAL day!!

What happened next when we went for our constitutional was not so fun.

See when I pee I always try to be discreet so I like to go a little ways off the road.

Well it had rained and some leaves had fallen and I was in a hurry and it was slippery and well Ma took a tumble.

Fortunately because of adequate padding no severe injuries occurred but she did get a few scratches.

When she got home and showed Dad of course all fingers were pointed at the niece.

She looked smug because she was not responsible.

I felt fortunate it was my birthday or I may have been returned to sender.

Funny how much like strawberry jam blood looks especially when it’s got gravel in it!

Blessing#1819-Birthday Bumps

Did you know that yesterday was International Bacon Day but alas not a single rasher crossed my lips.

Do you not think I am poorly treated.

It’s gluten free too so there is no excuse at all for my Mother’s negligence.

She’s not a true Irish at all.

Mixed blood there, too much of the mean Scottish side showing up.

Wondered what a hickory smoked Pitty might taste like?

Maybe I’ll roast her on a spit.
