Booming Banter

Precious Peeps it’s PITS again. I’m clean burned out.

See when Granny gets going she gets going.

Yesterday we walked miles in the morning just in case it got too hot later.

We then took to shredding. I made good progress on the KONG. All it took was finding a little weak spot and voilà it was destructible.

Next we cleaned windows.

Granny found and used a make your own recipe of one part vinegar to six parts water with a drip or two of Dawn that worked perfectly. We dried them with newspaper. How’s that for frugal fun!!

They are so sparkly I have to be careful I don’t walk through them.

We made chili even though it is as hot as hades and walked some more when that was cooking and then collapsed.

I had such a good day.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect.

What a beautiful Memorial Day with absolutely fabulous weather.

Daddy said he’d take me and Grumpy to the parade in town to see Granny walking with our church. Auntie Lori organized it and there was a big turnout.

He backed out though as the ugly uncle still has a dodgy tum and he was afraid he’d have to go in the midst of all the masses so we had to look at pictures instead.

There were many other puppies there so I’m a bit miffed Dad didn’t take me but Granny did meet another Pitty whose parents invited me over for a play date. they have a fenced yard so fun to run!!!

Just as well the old Gizzard was confined to our kennel as he would have been chasing the Penny farthing bicycles and vintage cars and embarrassing us enormously.

I’m most sorry to have missed the band and the cheer leaders though.

They’d have been a riot to excite and to dance with.

Some smart person must know how often Pentecost falls on Memorial Day weekend. Well it happened in 2023 Easter is over so the bunnies and eggs have at last been replaced by the red white and blue.

We kept the coronation Union Jacks up beside the star spangled banners since they match the color scheme!

Thanks for all your concern about my GI issues. I have been switched to a no gluten no soy no color no preservatives no nothing except rice and meat diet.

It’s much tastier than the other stuff and that along with my being hungry prompted me to clean my bowl.

If it doesn’t do the trick I’ll be making a visit to the docs on Tuesday for fine tuning. In the meantime I’ll be munching much more.

The run for the presidency is not without its stresses.

It has been causing me major digestive upsets. All I want to do is mooch in my quiet place.

These past days I’ve been having great urgency to go potty so Ma has given Pa strict instructions that I am to get nothing but dog food and a little boiled rice to tempt me to eat. No doggie biscuits either as they are the prime suspect in the sensitivity search.

She was not pleased when I got her up at 2:15 this morning to go. If all the neighbors see us on their security cameras Scoob they’ll think we’ve lost the plot!!!

She’d have been more upset if she had to clean the carpet again like she did yesterday morning.

If the current « elimination » approach does not work within the next 24 hours I’m for a chicken and rice diet which doesn’t sound too bad.

Wonder if that creature who lives in that PIT is trying to get rid of me!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS and I’m puffing with pride.

It has come to my attention that President Roosevelt’s dogs name was FALA.

That’s awfully close to NALA! So while Grumpy may think he’s destined for the White House he’d better think of a name change because Scooby sucks!

There I got that load of my chest.

See I’m sick of the stinker!

He’s always such a good two shoes.

Never does anything fun like taking a dive or chasing some game.

To make matters worse he insists on licking my lips when I’ve just had a snack.

Anyone got a stick of dynamite he might chew on?

I am once again mortified by my Mother.

See yesterday was trash day and as we were returning with aunty Denise from the park Ma spotted a treasure waiting for pick up.

It was destined for landfill but found its way instead inside the Queen of Soul.

You guessed it she dived on it.

I cannot take any more of this.

What will my friends PJ and Eddie think?

It’s even a point on which THE THING and I are agreed but all we can do is hang our heads in shame!

Did you see THE MUSK is in on the announcements for candidates! Twitter! It bombed.

Now I need to get some social media baron on my side for the campaign to show them how to do it!!!!

Who better than THE BEAST. Not the niece the Zuckerberg.

We’ve got a lot in common especially when I have my locks long.

THE BEAST looks like a reasonable sort of woofer.

Probably good at herding sheep which is essentially the same thing as getting voters on your side.

Wonder is he in the good books with the BIG BOSS!!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS Perfect again!!!!

Tongue-in-cheek aside that talk of beaches yesterday got me heated up!

While on our first morning mile we met my boyfriend Remi. He was on his way home so we went with him back to his kennel.

We’d just said bye and turned towards Cardinal Hill when a young family of geese walked nonchalantly across the road towards their pond.

That’s when the vibe for action hit me. I tugged so hard I pulled my leash from Granny’s hand and took off after them.

Not only to the edge but right deep into the pond. From who knows where a whole flock of them descended and I was forced out.

That sure was a fun start to the day.

The rest went to plan except I took in a little sunbathing and did some Pilates.

You gotta get the bod in best beautiliousness before all the pools open this weekend!!!!!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS Perfect and I’m so excited because it’s Dads day off .

You know what that means? SNUGGLES

Here’s how it goes. I only get out of bed at 7:35 when Granny comes to get me for the morning business.

As soon as I return from my three miler to the Palace I head straight for the Pitty Pit and get back in beside Dad. I will spare you photos of that!!!

We snuggle some more and then get up and have a feast around eleven.

That clean wears us out so we ajourn for a movie and a siesta.

We may take on some snacks and refreshments around two and then we get up at four for a walk with Granny and some dinner.

Isn’t it heavenly. It’s like being on a beach only you’ve got TV too. Best of all I don’t see the old Grumpies all day long!!!
