As The Thing explained I was beset by burrs yesterday. Nasty!

They are miserable little suckers and they burrow deep into the fur. Quite the opposite to the fine Calibrachoa that Ma snagged in the bargain bin at Walmart this spring.

They are like mini petunias. Ordinarily she would avoid petunias as dead heading them is too much work but these beauties dead head themselves. A good shake or shower and bingo the job is done.

From one $7 pot we now have three great big planters going.

Note to self for next year get these again.

They don’t have any scent but stick them with Auntie Denise’s lavender that’s on its second season and we’re in good shape.

Always good to have a little perfume around.

You never know what nasty smells you can encounter on a hot day.

Some beings are very demanding and high maintenance.

Others like me are easy going and Perfectly Precious Peeps.

The Gizz is so fuzzy with his food, needs grooming, is snarly you name it he’s trouble and terribly grumpy.

This morning he is in a particularly bad mood as he got burrs in his bum.

He insists on going into the bushes to do his business and this morning he got “Robin on the Hedge” all over himself.

Ma with great patience got most of it off him but some still reside in his tail and he’s baring the teeth when she pulls at them.

So as I said to her let them stay where they are. They may be the inspiration for Velcro with any luck they are also deadly and he’ll be gone soon.

Wee storm came through about 4:45 so we’ve been lying here in bed stretching ever since. A really good stretch is so therapeutic!It’s just like getting ironed, smoothes away all the stiffness and makes you smily!!!

It’s pouring so there’s no rush to get up as the stinger in the next room will not be able to get out until the rain stops.

She thinks she’s smart but she’s stupid.

I’m so happy she sleeps somewhere else as I just love lying in bed doing nothing but snuggling and scrolling through Facebook.

You don’t even need an excuse for being lazy.

Precious Peeps it’s PITS the Philosopher.

Since I’m so good at this I might award myself a doctorate but maybe I’m too young for that! I’ll need just a few more grey hairs.

Today my theme is perspectives.

Some People and Paws believe they are superior.

They see themselves as the great and the good.

I just know better.

It’s innate

There is hardly a week passes without a disaster at this wretched old building that Ma owns. Some dog kennels are sturdier!

I smelt it as soon as she got back home yesterday. That fuming face of hers!! Do I look compassionate enough?

See the AC unit in Paula’s boutique was leaking!

It came on all of a sudden. One minute the floor was dry the next there was a puddle.

Paula wasn’t there she was ironically at the lake. No need to make that trip girlfriend!

It happened at 2:30 so of course what to do but call the HVAC installers, turn off the AC and dry the floor.

No joy finding someone to fix it so today it will be toasty.

When do you call enough enough?

Precious Peeps it’s Pits and I know your weekend would be less than Perfect without a Post from your very own Princess.

This is a tale that only time can tell.

I had my new Nyla that my dear Daddy bought me when my other became so small I could swallow it.

The stinking Grey Gizz appeared and grabbed it from my pursed pink lips.

He chewed it but soon got bored.

Absolutely no stamina.

A creepy crawly of the first order.

So I pounced like a Precious Pitty and I ended my evening in bliss.

Never give up dear ones. Bite the bullet and the Nyla.

You never know what you’ll find when you go out for a pee of a morn.

Yesterday I alerted Ma to something lying under one of our neighbors big trees.

We inspected.

It was the most perfectly formed little birds nest.

Fortunately it was empty.

Ma said that the bro’s ancestors might have made soup with it.

I said she should lift it as JAWS would have it as a snack and who knows what the consequences of that might be!

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect.

I’m so happy because the stinking Gizz has his nose out of joint purportedly because of a fruit.

Lies all lies.

He is twisted with guile because I have a Dad you loves me beyond measure.

I can do no wrong!

I am PITS PERFECT.

He only has an old wrinkly who loves plants more than him.

These past two months I have been suffering from intense jealousy. It has nothing to do with a PIT and the attention she gets.

Instead it is directed towards another plant that Ma has been living on since it was a pip.

It’s that wretched tomato she planted in May.

She talks to it more than me and feeds it all sorts of weird things like coffee grounds and crushed egg shells.

It is watered morning and night and little leaves are plucked from it regularly.

Well yesterday the green monster yielded its first fruits. A decent bunch of four for a Caprese plate for each human.

Everyone had to pretend they were the sweetest most delicious tomatoes ever grown especially when combined with Ma’s basil. Give me strength!!!!!

You should have seen the pride on Ma’s face. That I’m so modest but perfect smile!

Made me think though that maybe I’m lucky she doesn’t love me that much as she’s never once tried to eat me.
