Booming Banter

We’re awake earlier than our new norm because Ma and Auntie Paula have their first GALENTINES fashion show and luncheon today.

It worked out well because the Bro is on the earlies so he had to leave at 6:20 and that was our alarm. See our front door still has the Christmas wreath on and it has Jingle Bells on it so it makes a sweet little noise.

Why may you ask is he leaving by the front door. We’ll see it’s the only door that we’ve found a key that fits!!! There’s a lot of things we’re going to do when it warms up.

For the moment though it seems we won’t get above freezing in the span of the long term 10 Day forecast so we’re happy to have a good excuse for doing next to nothing!

I’m just hoping we can trot again soon or I’ll be as fat as fiddle.

Must rush. Stay warm!

Howdee Hoomans it’s THE FISH and his DISH here to jointly whistle you into a wonderful weekend.

We are getting along just swell and finding fun in all we do around the island.

Our favorite frolic at present is Gizz bashing. It’s not hard as he’s an easy target.

Each time he comes in the kitchen we spook him.

I, THE FISH play dead while I, THE DISH howl at my highest pitch pretending to be sad.

It never fails he falls for it every time.

Once he’s tricked and runs to find his Mommy we get back to our usual business of swimming and snoring and he looks like a fool.

Such a stupid coyote he is. Don’t you just love getting together to hit on a ham like him.

We’re planning more joint ventures but for now hope you have a great time hanging out with your partner this weekend.

Life sure is sweeter with a love interest.

We’ll see y’all later.

Love Kong and Pits PERFECT!

We woke up at 4:30 but after Ma had a pee she said we should have a short dose.

That turned into two good sleep cycles.

Did you know each cycle last approximately 90 minute if you’re hooman.

Mine are a little different but I’ve adjusted to be in sync with herself.

We are now contemplating when we will get out from under our cosy covers.

We are so grateful for warmth and cosiness and each other and y’all of course.

The sky is so blue too and everything is bright and beautiful

Blessing#2666-Rest

Precious PREPS it’s the PERFECT one here to heave you happily over the humpty.

As you know it is perilously cold here so trotting has been put on hold. I’m grateful for that because unlike the stinking Gizz I’ve no real coat to speak of.

I’m so enjoying in home activities like cooking in the kitchen with Granny, snuggling up to Grandpa on the sofa and getting under Dad’s blankets for a good deep deep sleep.

I know hoomans have to go out and work and shop and such which may explain why they’re moaning about this cold snap but if y’all have power you should be happy as me.

Just think of all the fun things you can do indoors. Have a bubble bath, make cookies, eat cookies, sleep, make soup, eat soup, sleep some more, have another bubble bath, put on your fleece PJs and binge watch something oldy worldy like Miss Marple then go to bed and snuggle a puppy.

There. That’s y’all sorted for today. Follow these rules and you’ll be as happy as a clam by tomorrow and ready to repeat.

You too can smile like a Pitty although it will take time to reach PERFECTION! Unless like me you were born that way.

Love for now and we’ll talk Friday with the Fish!

There is one serious disadvantage of having a fenced yard!

You don’t get to go for a trot if it’s minus 20C or below!

Ancient parents use the frigid temperature as an excuse to stay indoors and siblings sort of turf you out for a quick piece of business only every six hours.

Since this Arctic atmospheric is set to persist into next week I have decided that my best means to avoid becoming fat and stiff is to chase the niece at great speed during these short sorties.

That’s fun. I have yet to catch her as she is swift but will keep training.

Apart from this confinement issue I am in an excessively good mood and snuggling still but perhaps it’s time to get going and chomp down on some toast with the marmalade that Ma made yesterday!

Blessing#2664-Jammed In

You know sometimes the weather forecasters say there is going to be snowmaggedon and then you get an inch or two. Well this time they’ve didn’t exaggerate.

We got well over a foot and the best of all is it’s going to stick around for weeks. No warm air in sight.

It’s like living in JINGLE BELLS.

The niece and me are dashing through the snow, ore our field we go and we are even laughing all the way.

White stuff sure puts you in a good mood.

All we are missing is the “one horse open sleigh” but I’m not fussing too much about that as horses are expensive to run and might eat into my treat fund.

We’ll stick to dashing on our own four paws and singing!!!

Blessing#2663-Sleighing Song

We are grounded. Governor DeWine has declared a “State of Emergency”

It has already snowed five inches in our town and is set to snow all day.

I’m so happy!

I love BIG snow and so does Ma. We are currently lying in bed snuggled up and looking at it fall out our bedroom window.

Soon we will get going and Ma has promised to play with me and the niece. Fetch is hard when the snow is deep bit we have a pool ball that’s light so it won’t get lost.

For any who must travel do so safely and for those who don’t have to enjoy the fun!!!

Blessing#2662-Winter Wonderland

My cousin Seema and her husband Brian came to spend the night with us. They are starting a huge road-trip to see family and friends all over the USA and we were the first stop.

Once the road-trip is over they are going to start hiking. Now we are not talking a trot. These dudes will be walking across the continent for at least six months.

I think they need to take me with them. Ma would be lonely without me but she’d cope. I wouldn’t ask for much. I could hunt like a wolf for food so they wouldn’t need to carry my kibble. As for water I’d be quite happy to put on a little tank and carry that myself.

It would be so swell to sleep under the stars far far away from Jaws. Just think of how useful I could be in warding off worrisome wildlife.

I must rush now so I can suck up to them as soon as they wake up.

You may or may not hear from me for months.

Blessing#2661-Passport to Paradise

Precious Peeps it’s the PERFECT one here to whistle you into the weekend with my best friend and side kick KONG.

I’m giving him the mic so he can mesmerize you with his view from inside his bowl. If you enjoy let us know and we can make this a regular moment of merriment!

“HOWDY PARTNERS it’s your very own golden groover here with my Pretty Pocahontas to swing you round my island. It’s not exactly a disco but it’s the best most of you will get!

Outside, according to my warm blooded Pitty there are Arctic temperatures! See that’s the thing about being a fish you don’t have to trot. You just swim in circles until you’re ready to jump!

I can see all the comings and going’s and hear all the news and I don’t even need to drink wine to get dizzy!

If humans were just a little more generous with the food I’d be an even happier camper!

Be like Pitty and me and live life to the fullest regardless of circumstances and find yourself a faithful friend ready to rock you round the clock.”

Stay warm weekenders! Love you always and almost as much as I love KONG!

Blessing#2660-Fish and Dish!

I am mightily impressed by the athletic prowess of our orange ruffian!

His desire to eat chocolate ice-cream clearly spurred him on. I hope he’s luckier than me as Ma consistanly refuses to share with me says dogs can’t do chocies!

Talking of eating do you know that KONG gets by on mere crumbs.

He’s only allowed as much food as he can eat in two minutes. I know JAWS has bern giving him lessons as she eats a quart of kibble in that time.

Come on though he only has a small little mouth not an orifice the size of Australia to get the job done.

I am therefore all the more impressed that in a state of semi starvation he was able to undertake such a feat.

It’s like that movie the great escape when Steve McQueen jumps that fence on his motorcycle.

I’m definitely supporting him in any run he may make for higher office.
