Did you read what that scoundrel wrote yesterday? Thinks she can make a takeover bid for my position in the pecking order. Well dream on demon. I’m fighting back big time.

This is no longer a joke. I’m going for the jugular.

Not only does she try to take my throne she is making my Dad go gooey gaga with her endearing young charms.

He takes a lot of pills though and she’d eat anything so I’m scheming. All I’d need to do is topple those over and she’d be a goner.

See she has no perception of the love my Ma has for me. Hamlet eat your heart out or was that Macbeth?

Greetings my passionate public. Have you missed me?

I’ve been practicing Princessing all week and am making a takeover bid for the Gizzard’s throne.

Granny is so supportive. We gals gotta stick together.

The Gizz gives me grief most every day but the only way to win is keep on smiling.

I’ve learned this from my Granny who shows her nashers often with me and the Gizz but works at always putting on her happy face. The key is keeping the head held high!

Onwards and upwards dear peeps to the place of Pitty power!

The « thing » is really stupid as well as ugly.

Yesterday Ma was all gooey because she got to pick her first daffodils.

They’re small and puny but she still thinks they’re beautiful.

I didn’t say a word because they are extremely toxic.

It tried to eat them.

Ma scolded and made her sit in time out.

They are still in an accessible place soooooooooooooo

I’m sniffing around them pretending they are desirable.

With any luck she’ll devour them or others to come and that will be that.

Every Friday my Ma tries to find a funny.

Today she had to find one for the business too as it’s April 1st.

Do you play along with this tradition?

In the French speaking world they call it « Poisson D’Avril » (April Fish!).

There’s lots of theories on where this all originated but it goes way back. Some think it’s related to when New Years was celebrated. Way way way back this was on March 25 and the partying lasted till March 31 so if you were still having a boogie on April 1 you were a fool!

Old Chaucer was in on the fun even if he didn’t look like much of a joker.

Of course nor do I but under my Gizzard is a giggle. We do have a striking resemblance don’t you think?

I’ve helped Ma concoct her dinosaur blend and we have come up with something very special.

It induces sleep in the most vile beasts and will be available for sale nationally soon. Who wants a sip?

I admit I do do a lot of barking when critters come to my ranch. Good soldiers got to earn their keep!

Yesterday morning I took it to new extremes. Nearly caused stone deafness in the ancient parents and almost woke the bro up.

See they don’t see what’s going on.

It’s left to me to chase off the deer and other grazers.

Yesterday though the beast was persistent.

No matter how much I barked Tufty stayed put.

Ma eventually pulled up the blinds but all it did was move from the pillar to the post.

Took us eventually a full door opening I’m coming to get you tactic to get rid of it.

They eat squirrels around here. Might stew it if it comes back! Will for sure have a good stuffing!!!

I’m sad today because my Mom is sad.

Her Bestie, my Auntie Carol, lost her baby girl Maisie yesterday.

Maisie was one of the best dogs ever born. I’m the other. Ma feels awful because she can’t be at Carols side today. They are like sisters you see.

I never did met Maisie but my predecessor Dibley and her were aquatinted and surprisingly got along.

Dibley was a spoiled dominant purebred sort but Miss Maisie in her own quiet way put him in his place. Ironically Cushings Sydrome took them booth!

She was a rescue like me. Had very few teeth due to malnutrition before her adoption but she was a mighty Maisie full of spunk.

She was her Moms baby girl just like I’m my Moms baby boy.

She loved to walk and spent many happy hours on country roads.

She has crossed the big rainbow bridge that we all will cross some day and is in good company with her friends and family watching over all of us. I’ll meet her there sometime for sure.

I’m so happy to inform y’all that my dear Daddy is doing really well.

He’s the best snack supplier in the whole wide world.

He’s also snuggly as the demon has discovered. She’s always making eyes at him.

Yesterday Ma took him to the doctors. We knew he was getting stronger as he hardly needs extra oxygen anymore.

When we got his results we were all thrilled.

He’s back in the normal range thanks to the amount of iron and vitamin C and B vitamins not to mention red meat that Ma is making him eat.

I help him whenever I can with the beef but those tablets are worse than kibble. Cookies now that’s a whole different story.

You are in luck peeps it’s your Pretty Pitty Princess here again.

I have been tasked to report on the Oscar’s as it’s a girly sort of event especially the fashions.

We all had long naps yesterday so we could go the distance and stay up to cheer on BELFAST which was up for seven awards.

Scooby whispered in my ear that I was to be on my best behavior and sit still and watch and for sure there would be endless treats as Ma can’t watch TV and not eat!

He was right. There were peanuts, ice cream and popcorn all on the go during the session that started with the red carpet at 6:30 and ended with the best movie award at 11:45

We were all enjoying when something very surprising happened. One of the hosts upset an actor and the actor smacked him.

At first we thought it was part of a routine but then the screen went blank for a moment and we realized it was no joke.

It was one of those moments that I can relate to. Sometimes I’m a little impulsive and do things I shouldn’t and then I regret it immediately afterwards. Let’s hope it doesn’t overshadow a well deserved win for Will!

It sort of spoiled the show though until the good Sir Kenneth stepped up to take his Oscar and we all felt better because times move on and Belfast is much better today healed and happy.

It’s as well the groomer was poorly because I needed my coat and uggs this morning.

The white stuff is back albeit just a dusting but it’s Baltic again as they say in Belfast.

Ma is concerned about all her daffodils and the “Thing” is freezing so she’s hyper jumpy this morning.

She also ate my Ma’s socks. They were festive ones too in keeping with the weather.

It’s a perfect day for hunkering down in the house and having a good feed.

I’ll stick with a good piece of meat rather than those veggie cotton snacks though.

Greetings passionate Pitty public!

Bet you were thinking the Gizz had finally done me in or Granny had left me to play alone amongst the traffic.

Well sorry to disappoint anyone but the Prettiest of Pitty Princesses is very much alive and kicking.

Yesterday morning I was feeling rather hungry after my meager ration had been inhaled.

So I tried to eat a dead mole on the way home from the park.

People kill them around here because they dig up lawns so I was getting in on the act and trying to help.

I couldn’t get the critter crunched though and had to spit it out. Slithery little sucker. Granny didn’t even bother to try wedging it from my jaws. She’s given up and says if I die I die. Full of compassion is Granny.

She was a bit quicker off the mark when I broke a glass a little later trying to suck the last drops of milk from it’s bottom.

I got them but she nearly had a melt down.

She had to piece the bits back together like a jigsaw to make sure I hadn’t swallowed any.

It was one of Grandpa’s favorite whiskey glasses so of course he called me all the names of the day.

It’s not exactly my fault that Ma is drinking milk from a whiskey glass!

I told the Gizz what I had done and he gave me some advice.

For the rest of the day keep the communication brief. No barking!

He also recommended I focus on shredding paper rather than hard goods as they did in his young days.

So I smacked him one on the neck as a thank you and lay low.

Now I’m ready once more for action

Look out Powell Peeps this Pitty is now Poised for a Peak Performance!
