Precious Peeps it’s your very own PRINCESS here to heave you over this frigid humpty.
It’s becoming increasingly clear to me that Granny needs help.
Over the past two days she has taken to packing.
Now I don’t mean suitcases but boxes and boxes and boxes of plates and cups and glasses all the while muttering “we’regoing to use these”
Truthfully I don’t know what for because in my four years at this kennel I’ve never seen them before let alone used them.
Occasionally she would utter the words “who gave us this” or “when did you buy that set” to Grandpa before smothering said object in bubble wrap.
She piled all these boxes up in the house until Dad emerged from his slumbers and was ordered to take them to the garage with the warning “BE VERY CAREFUL”
We must be going to have some giant party because let me tell you as one born royal not even the Three Kings packed as much when following their star.
I’ll keep my eye on her over the next days and give you an update on the state of her mind.
In the meantime be like me and tend to the feeble and frail by showing them some TLC!
Over the past three months people often asked Ma if we accepted an offer yet. When she said no they’d say reassuringly “ just be patient the right family will come along”
Now y’all know well that Ma does not have the patience gene but they were so right. Can you believe that the prospective buyers are from China!
There is a Dad who is a doctor at the big university hospital just down the road, a Mom and two little boys and best of all a Grandpa and Grandma!
Can you imagine! It’s so cool. Just like the Bro paved the way for the arrival of these little boys. In keeping with the Advent angle a bit like John the Baptist did for Jesus.
When you live in a place for a long time you come to love it and want the best for your home. You want it to be tenderly taken care of and have lots of parties and joy and celebrations.
So it’s making our hearts happy that there will be such a lot of life in our old place and people who eat dumplings just like we did last night!!!
We thought we’d wait till today to make a special joint announcement. This is going to be a very big month for us.
Our beautiful yellow doors at the new ranch are about to be opened.
Last week we received an offer on our house here and the people who are buying it want to move in soon.
Of course there are inspections to be done so it’s not entirely a done deal but this already started on Friday.
We plan to make the move of our big furniture on December 16 which will be the Bros/Dads quarter century birthday.
Ma/Granny says this is an ADVENT we won’t forget.
The gestation of our new home has been going on since we made our offer mid March and got the keys at the start of April so the baby is well and truly ready to be delivered.
We’ll be like Mary and Joseph taking a ride thirty miles north just in time for our first Christmas.
Thanks for all your prayers and yours for now Scooby and Nala
Precious Peeps it’s me the PERFECT One here again to wing you into a weekend that most of you already started.
Dad had to work yesterday from 3:00-11:00 so we had our feast at 12:00. Granny got up at six with the Gizz and got the big bird going before seven so it was well cooked and had time to rest before we tucked in.
The midday meal gave Dad time for a quick snooze before he had to leave.
Dad is good at cutting things down to the wire this makes Granny very agitated.
I’m with Dad. Every second of snoozing is valuable.
Just look what it’s done for us.
Aren’t we the brightest and most beautiful stars in the sky.
Compare us if you will with the wrinkly and grey couple we cohabit with and you must agree that resting as much as possible is good for both body and soul.
It means that when the weekend comes you are sufficiently snoozed up that you can maintain a sleep schedule similar to the energizer Bunny and not faint.
Be like me making the most of up and down time and keep stretching and snoozing. Balance is the key and at all cost avoid fussing it wrecks havoc with you complexion.
I know you all love me so be sure to buy me something when you head out for Black Friday shopping.
I’ll speak to you next humpty in the meantime be as heavenly as me in your habits!
Precious Peeps it’s the PERFECT one here to wish you a very happy thanksgiving.
I saved my hump day post so that I could share this special message with you on this great occasion.
It is my favorite day apart from Christmas because we get to cook from dawn till dusk.
I learned something very significant from cousin Krishna. He told be that my name is very auspicious.
It is the name of the best chef in Lord Rama’s kitchen.
Of course you know how much I help Granny and now I know the reason. It was ordained from time immemorial that I should be a FOODIE. Just look at these jolly jaws and notable nose.
So be like me gobble up your turkey like a gourmet and put your paw into every pie!
There is nothing better though that those sandwiches that come late in the day so save a little space or have a little trot to squeeze them in too!!!
They sure have a soporific effect and you can be sure to get a great beauty sleep.
Enjoy every second and I may speak to you tomorrow if I’m not still snoozing off the stuffing.
Yesterday Ma baked all morning. At first all seemed usual, scones , cupcakes, fifteens and shortbread. That’s her usual sequence.
However, she then took to breaking eggs and separating them one by one. It went on and on. I looked at her with my most inquisitive eye and she explained.
Your Bro wants to have Pavlova for thanksgiving and he wants to give one to his friend Stef and another to his friend Sunday so I need to crack on.
After a bit she started beating the clear runny stuff. This too went on and on and on and on until my head hurt and the runny slime was no longer runny but huge and white and fluffy. She then beat a load of sugar into it along with of all things vinegar. Weird woman.
Finally in went a little corn starch and vanilla before she made three piles of the white wonder and fired it into the oven.
Now this in itself seemed somewhat miraculous but what happened next was the stuff of legend. She showed me the yellow yolks she had set aside and was about to freeze for future use in custard tarts.
There they were lined up perfectly like soldiers. All uniform and symmetrical and intact and orderly.
Brought a whole new meaning to getting your ducks in a row except these were chickens.
Can you believe that today I’ve reached a major milestone in my daily updates for you.
I know JAWS helps me on hump day and Fridays but I still hope you appreciate my persistent posting.
I try to be as upbeat as possible but sometimes it’s tough living with a Pitty not to mention two ancients and a Bro who eats like an elephant at strange hours of the day and night.
Now that I am middle aged I need to think of my sanity that’s why I snooze regularly and slumber so soundly.
My admirers are many and I appreciate that it’s good for my moral.
As I venture onwards into my third millennium of daily editions can I ask you to please share this particularly important post with a family member or friend or both.
This will greatly help the algorithm that determines my popularity. If you do a good job it is possible I might have a novel Christmas gift for my secretary.
Sending appreciation and an amazing ambitious aura to my devoted audience.
