Remember I had my haircut postponed and that it all worked out fine because it was freezing and I needed my coat? Well yesterday the time came for me to get the job done.
I didn’t fuss. You gotta take the rough with the smooth or as the case may be the curly with the cropped.
I was excessively good at the groomers. They said they’d never met a better chap. Mom agreed and as always said that I am « the best dog ever born ».
Such was my merit that I was rewarded with an Easter necktie that I promise I’ll wear again on Sunday.
Having been so good I got to have a swift trot you know where on the way home between the showers.
The niece did not recognize me. Took to fighting even when her dinner was laid out in front of her. That’s a serious cause for concern as nothing has previously been know to come between her and her kibble!
Ma thought she was going to do me in so she was transferred to the patio to chill.
She’s still at it this morning. Think she thinks I’m from another pack so she’s protecting her peeps.
I admit I do smell a little different. Some would say a great improvement a bit like that Feb breeze the bro sprays in his room to mask the stink.
I’d call it funky but soon get my butch will be back. It only takes a day or two for scent to evaporate. I should be nice and ripe by Easter!
As promised we hit the trails yesterday since I’d helped her so much managing Mega.
I was elated. Left my instagrams all over the place as I hadn’t been there for a while and needed to make sure other critters know this is my stomping ground.
I was gentle around the first flowers of the forest.
They are so small and I’m so huge I showed them how tender I can be.
By the time we got to the river I was feeling kinda thirsty but Ma said I’d get too mucky if I got in.
Funny that as we saw two men at different spots up to their knees in the water fishing.
One had a line the other a net. We don’t know what they were after but I’d love to have a go.
When you’re out in the wild like this it makes you think that we could have been doing this walk a thousand years ago and you’d never have known the difference.
The work I have to do in this joint is unbelievable.
Even when the mega monster’s father is off work I cannot rely on him to keep her under control. He just turns his back on her and pretends to snore.
We have had to elevate every single stuffed bunny in this blessed place out of her reach. The only ones left at ground level are wood or glass. If she eats those they may finish her off which would be the best thing that could possibly happen for all of us.
Poor Mom is going to be killed one of these days. The creep sneaks up on her in the kitchen when she is up to her elbows in dough and tries to trip her up.
It’s all part of her ploy to get at the goodies. Six times I had to chase her out of the way this morning.
She looks so innocent but trust me that is a seriously sinister spirit.
I’ve had to deal severely with her and poor Mom’s throat is sore screaming.
She has now been locked up as the bro has gone out with the mates and Ma and me need to rest after our morning of madness.
I have been promised a trip to the trails this afternoon in recognition of my diligence in handling by duties.
It was only when we got to her finding a faberge egg that the penny dropped!
We had a little laugh together at our own expense………….
……… and we reflected on how it’s just as well none of our treasures are too precious since we have unfortunately to live with a demolition expert
Greeting my Passionate Pitty Public. I am in no doubt that your weekend would not be the same without a word from your very own Princess.
Today I decided y’all must be in need of some tips on how to look as good as me.
You must accent your best features. Of course I have many but key to my success are my dark eyes, my shiny black hair and my cute little white toe tips that match my beautiful nashers and undergarments!
The key is to find your color.
Mine is red.
I learned this all from my Auntie Paula who uses this combo so effectively on her logo at her luxury boutique Paula’s Posh Picks.
You must accessorize effectively too.
Choose your jewels to match and complement each other.
Take my leash that Auntie Denise bought me it is a heavy chunky metal that could pass as platinum if you didn’t know it is made of reinforced steel.
This cool metallic can be draped or worn, as mine often is, as a choker.
For a more relaxed look let it drape a little and always always always dear peeps show how the features like the handle Granny grabs so hard is perfectly matched to your designer pieces.
There! I trust that was all helpful for those of you planning to head out and drink champagne and eat oysters. Oh and do make sure to get your nails done like mine French Tips are so classy!
For those of you on a more restricted budget of beer and pizza like the old Gizz forget all of the above and just stick on a baseball cap. After all the season has started for ball games!
Just after I sent out my epistle yesterday morning the sun came out.
It was cool in multiple senses so I got to go with Ma to work.
We decided that each time we had to stop we’d take a photo just to share with you. We nose you are nosy!!!
First stop a mile from home and we took a pic of the old Liberty Presbyterian Church where the blossoms are just about to bloom.
Next up the junction with Route 23 that runs from Jacksonville Florida to Mackinaw Michigan. We just went to Marion. Maybe one day we’ll just keep on going.
We stopped again at Panhandle road that made us wonder was there a connection with the most southerly point on this famous road.
It was then on to 423. We joined by taking a little road over a tiny bridge.
This took us to Marion where we got our next stop just before the Presidents house.
A final one at the junction of 95, Vine and East Church Street took us to our own little place.
It would seem Ma needs therapy as she is dressing bunnies in hats!!
If you haven’t heard there’s a crazy amount of storms going on in the USA right now.
We’re not in their direct path but we’re getting a lot of rain and that sucks because we get short trots.
All I can do is sit and keep guard.
Ma says she saw a photo of London yesterday and that I could replace one of the lions at Nelsons Column in Trafalgar Square.
It’s been twelve years since Ma has been to London but she tells me it’s the best city in the whole wide world. She’d just love a trip to the big smoke!
Since, like myself, it’s unlikely she’ll get any further than Ohio in the foreseeable future she will have to content herself with dreams and back yard safaris.
Last night for a little light entertainment we watched Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett in the classic crooner’s final concert in New York. It’s really great, very touching how Gaga takes care of Tony.
They sang among other tunes That’s Why The Lady is a Tramp and of course it got me thinking of a certain person not too far from me. We barked along!
I may look shaggy and she may look chique but let me tell you apparences can often deceive.
Underneath that glossy black coat and fancy matching accessories lies a calculating character ready to pounce at any moment. I have to be constantly on guard. Not good for my nerves.
She may gaze lovingly at me like a student at her mentor but she’s no Gaga.
I’m wise to that woman! This smile is hiding a secret snarl!
