Booming Banter

Heh y’all Prettiest Pitty here.

Something very strange happened overnight.

My whole world went white.

It’s all over the place and is sooooooooo cold on my Pitty Paws.

It sure tastes yummy though.

We couldn’t go walking as Granny was too cold. It’s not just slippery it’s very windy so she’d be frozen.

We have to take care of her as she is the one who does everything for us.

Uncle Scooby was very vocal in guarding us when Mr Adam came to dig out our driveway and clear our path.

The Gizz is coaching me on barking but I’m not quite ready yet for the front window job.

Here’s a little video of my progress. Aren’t I the big brave.

Love y’all. Stay safe and warm and send me snacks.

Since it is glacial again we were limited in the distance poor Ma could tolerate this morning. We were lucky we even got to trot for a mile.

We therefore will have to content ourselves with indoor workouts.

Here’s some action shots to show you just how it happens.

The monster dives on me.

She quite literally springs through the air and grabs my gizzard.

We battle like boxers.

We wrestle like sumos

Until finally I’m finished with her

See with the bro working at the pizza joint we are never short of a bit of napolitain nosh.

Such is the abundance that Ma now uses it to tempt me to eat my brekkie.

She sprinkles pieces of the pie on the bottom of my bowl and brings it to me to inspect and sniff before she tops it up with kibble.

As I strive to pick out the morsels I’m forced to eat a little dog food too.

Takes me a while but eventually I manage to snarl up ever little slice.

What remains Ma supplements with enough kibble to feed me for three days and it is left waiting for the decent of the beast.

I might snag one or two more little bits before she attacks it but generally speaking I just mope around in the hope of more pepperoni.

This is a little graphic so stop now ye who are weak of stomach.

Herself races downstairs each morning and devours her kibble in seconds as you all know.

This morning she started the process of inhalation and stopped dead in her tracks.

Ma and I looked at each other and were, for a brief moment, perplexed.

That’s when it happened.

She went off like a machine gun. We had to duck for cover. She just opened her mouth and out came the kibble like mini projectiles.

There were about a dozen pieces scattered across the kitchen. As soon as they were out of her she just nonchalantly carried on.

We’re now back from our walk and she’s suffered no I’ll consequences. Noshing into the nylas as usual.

She lines them up now like she has a check list for the day ahead.

I’m taking it easy while she’s busy. She kinda shook me up earlier. I thought she was a goner.

My only plans for the day are to take care of Dad and wait for Ma to come back for a good snuggle.

Hi y’all it’s the prettiest Pitty in publishing producing for her passionate public today.

I had a sound sleep as always and just had a great walk in spite of being strangled by Granny because I tried to eat goose poop again.

It’s delicious, full of veggies and loaded I’m sure with probiotics but the wrinkled one won’t have anything to do with me chomping it!

She says that I’d eat coal. Well so would she if she was starving.

If she leaves anything unattended I’m right into it.

Heck I even try to eat the sofa. Helps with cleaning. My contribution to household hygiene!!!

Grumpy gizzard’s nose is out of joint because the ancient one was awake at five so he had to get up and is now crabby because he’s tired and cause I’ve got both nylas!

That’ll teach him for being Granny’s pet! Na na they’re Nala’s Nylas!

Ma and I had a great little siesta fiesta yesterday afternoon. When we woke up we were a little hungry but it was too early for dinner.

Let’s make ginger snaps Ma said while Mega is snoozing. So we pulled out the old recipe book and got busy.

As we had no golden syrup we used maple syrup instead. We also, by accident, overdosed the baking soda. These little gaffes may be the cause for the disaster that ensued.

The cookies were crap.

They looked horrible

Were burned on the bottom and had a texture like granite.

Yet the dear Dad still ate some and his only comment was that he could have used a little more ginger. The man’s à saint!

Ma ate some too since they were her doing and of course I helped her out. I even pretended I liked them so she wouldn’t be offended.

We’re committed to trying again. If you have a good recipe that’s full proof please share. Maybe we’ll take some snaps of the snaps like these bread heads did.

Ma needs no excuse to drink wine but today we will actually have something to celebrate.

Dad’s hemoglobin is up again and he is even feeling good enough to leave Mega and me and go with Ma to Tuesday Morning Group. You can’t complain about that can you?

I’m staying home supervising the red neck as she’s eating her bone so I’m concentrating on being regal.

Ma had a good night sleep so even though it’s freezing she took us for a long walk.

When she sleeps well so do I as I don’t have to wake up and toss around protecting her.

All seems very fine with the world. I’m even tolerating the trouble that is below me

On Saturday night the battery in Mums car packed up. Fortunately she was at the antique mall when it happened and her friends Debbie and Roger came to the rescue and jump started her.

So yesterday the bro had to drop her at the mall and pick her up. Result was she was able to take some pretty pics on the way home of the sunset.

As you can see the sky had cleared, the gloom was gone and the splendor of the sky had returned.

Our sunsets and sunrises are so pretty here.

Our kitchen faces West so we get great colors coming through our window when we’re doing the dishes. Makes even the stickiest pot polishing pleasant.

Last night we thought the purple and pinks matched one of our orchids that is in full bloom to perfection.

Don’t you love it when that happens and colors are all matchy matchy?

Anyway Ma has had to leave her royal highness and me at home. We’re having a great time play fighting and driving Dad demented.

Ma is at her favorite garage 42 Auto getting the car fixed.

The sun has well and truly set on that battery.

Talk about gloomy it’s hateful today makes me a really grumpy grey gizzard!

All Mega is doing is chewing. She’s not even up for a fight.

Ma meanwhile is Facebooking. Fortunately some sites like her favorite Pudgy Picker involve dogs.

Others explain what not to feed us which annoys me no end. Limits my opportunities.

Mega eats everything including Christmas Trees and it has unfortunately done her no harm as yet. That tree should have come down on twelfth night but Ma says it brightens things up so it’s staying up till she feels inspired to remove it.

She’s made the change it seems at the tearoom and is all set for Valentines.

She was ecstatic when she discovered her lady teddy has a little light in her heart that beats to music.

She’s not hard to please my Ma when it comes to toys and playing shop.

Pity she wouldn’t come up with some ideas for dogs. She need the business. It would be most unique I think to have a place for pet parties. I could be the host with the most!

You gotta dream of what might lie ahead even when it’s currently covered in clouds.

This morning as I was stretching and doing my up dogs and down dogs I was listening to the news.

The escape of a sea lion from sea world in San Diego gave me a great idea.

The critter ran four miles away from its place of confinement even across an interstate highway.

It was eventually captured and returned to its lodgings.

I’ve been known to take off myself chasing vehicles. White SUVs are my penchant. The furthest I’ve gone so far is half a mile.

So you ask what’s the idea?

Well it hit me like a meteor when I heard this story.

If I tell the red neck about the sport of racing and teach her to chase cars she might keep running since she is stupid.

I could get rid of her once and for all.

She’s chipped but I’d do anything to get rid of this constant annoyance. She is really a pain in my neck.
