Booming Banter

Conscious of the importance of appearance in the run for the White House I went for some fine tuning this week at Top-Knots.

The drive was absolutely beautiful as it was so sunny that day and we could see all the signs of spring.

Cranes were back feeding in the Olentangy River. We saw a whole flock and googled to find that the collective name is a Sedge.

Gave Mom some noble ideas!!!!

Since I was in such good shape I was shampooed, snipped and styled in an hour but Ma was working so I got to visit with the other customers having a groom.

They all have such good humans so I campaigned a bit to get their votes. I definitely can’t miss a change to promote my greatness.

Oh and of course it helps when I get to feature on Facebook too.

The bold Saint Patrick is meant to turn the sunny side up. Well there is a gale going on outside since two o’clock. Maybe the sun will blow in later. Wee bit blustery right now!

Our hearts were warmed and cheered though by good wishes from Auntie Marsha and family.

Wouldn’t you know that only she can find a card for the occasion that mentions tea.

Ma is serving a free hot mint brew (because that’s what he’d have had to drink) and shamrock shortbread all day today to celebrate the good man.

He has a stellar reputation all around the world not just in the Emerald Isle.

Maybe I’ll drive out the snakes in the USA as part of my presidential mission. There are quite a few vipers around. Should go down well with the voters.

We had 17 deer in the yard yesterday morning. I think they are mounting a campaign to support by candidature.

I couldn’t get them all in one frame so you’ll have to trust me on the numbers.

Much as I appreciate the support I am perplexed as to why they love our place so much. Maybe it’s the quality of the grass based on the amount of nitrogen a certain. Princess puts into it each day.

At least one of those Doe’s is expecting. I bet it’s Memorial’s Mom come back to inspect the ranch to make sure it’s in good shape for her next delivery!

I think a deer would make a very good symbol for my party much better than this donkeys and elephants nonsense.

Part of my manifesto will include immediately putting an end to this stupid clock change.

It gets me all mixed up and more moody than a meerkat.

It’s all right for humans they can take stimulants to give them the kick they need to get going but for us canines it’s horrible.

We are expected to devour our dinner during daylight and then rise in the middle of the night and eat our brekkie in the dark.

Revolution is required. I’m reversing the rules to pre pilgrim times and we are all going to stay put. One Time for Our Times!

I’m thinking, make that snoozing, about strategy.

Seems everyone else who’s planning to run is heading to Iowa.

Looks like a sunny sort of place but Des Moines is a strange name.

Of course being a polyglot I know it means « from the monks » so it must be a quiet spot too. Most unsuitable for noisy Princesses!

I’m pretty fast at walking as Auntie Denise will tell you so I recon I can make it in less than two weeks by paw.

I can’t starve for that long so I’ll have to find food along the way.

Better map out a Paneras path. I enjoy a good bit of baguette and a croissant for brekkie and I know, based on the bro’s prior employment with them that they trash really good stuff.

Maybe I’ll suck up to him and see if he fancy’s a roadtrip as my campaign manger. The way he drives we could do that in nine hours no bother so we could leave Saturday and be back for work on Monday.

We can leave trouble at home to help Mom « faire du pain au cuisine »

Mais oui! Tres productive cette petite sieste!!!!

We got a little bit of a surprise yesterday morning. It had snowed overnight. I stuck my nose out and declared it festive.

Ma I said « let’s pretend it’s Christmas again ». I was thinking maybe a fresh bone would be on the menu when Ma quickly replied « Your some pup Scoob that will be perfect for the Oscar Party »

She started digging in the freezer and my hopes rose.

Alas no. She pulled out some boring sliced Turkey breast saved from that gigantic bird she got on sale some time ago.

No bones alas but surely even the bro couldn’t eat that much stuffing. Everyone knows it’s not the Turkey that’s tasty it’s all the things that go with it.

Oh and what a party it was! An Oscar win for An Irish Goodbye. Made in Northern Ireland and starting James Martin the first ever Oscar winner with Down’s Syndrome!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS publishing on perfecting perfection!

Rummage sale season started this weekend. What I hear you cry has this to do with perfection? Read on dear devotees.

See rummage sales drives Granny into a frenzy of happiness.

There is nothing she loves more than digging through other peoples junk except me of course.

She is usually on the hunt for tea pots but they’d all been snatched up at this particular event. Peeps are putting them to other uses these days.

Nonetheless, if she finds something tea related it still gives her good vibrations.

So it was that she stubbled on a book that brought joy to her heart and is suitable for the education of any Princess.

Such discoveries she says are destiny I’m definitely in agreement.

Good people are born on March 10!

They include my Auntie Marsha who is super kind and loving, my girlfriend Chanel from Four Paws Resort and Spa who is the prettiest purplest puppy ever and Prince Edward the King’s youngest brother.

Well yesterday was an extra special March 10 because Auntie Marsha and Ma had tea together and because the King made Edward the new Duke of Edinburgh.

Previously he had been an Earl which meant his beautiful wife Sophie was known as a Countess although really she is a Princess because she is married to a Prince.

Now though she is a Royal Duchess which trumps a Princess in the royal hierarchy except if you happen to be Princess of Wales or the Princess Royal.

All this made Ma very happy and she had goosebumps and a little cry for joy because she said this pair are the epitome of goodness just like Auntie Marsha and my love Chanel.

This monarchy malarkey is complicated. That’s why I’m running for President and I’m convinced there will never have been a more stylish First Lady. Can a Queen be First Lady?

So the Princess is sucking up to Mom pretending she’s so sweet leather couldn’t stick to her stomach.

Well let me tell you I am the one who appreciates Mom and gives her succor when she’s sad.

Like this week has been deadly slow at the tearoom so I had to console her with my sincerest softest snuggles.

Mom I whispered just breathe in the beauty all around as you go to and from the worthless workplace. Smell the spring in that first early daffodil and know it’s a sure sign of brighter days ahead.

Oh and most importantly know that all the loved ones are waiting so even if it’s not packed at the tearoom there’s still a full house of mouths to feed back at the ranch.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits. Just checking in on all of you beautiful gals to see if you had a good International Womens Day.

I helped Granny out with some deep cleaning as she’s does so much for me and her men. Really we women are not appreciated nearly enough.

She does all the shopping and most of the cooking and she takes us for our trots and tends to our tummies when we’ve got the runnies.

The least I can do is polish while she’s brewing up a storm!
