Booming Banter

My Auntie Tjin is visiting Monument Valley and posted some pics including a dinosaur foot print.

Ma and I took to philosophysing when we saw this.

Is it even possible to imagine such critters walking around the yard.

What sort of noise did they make? Were they clever? How did they sleep?

Somethings we do know.

They’d be as tall as our house.

You could make a breakfast for fifty with just one of their eggs.

No matter how hard we try we still struggle to see how such dominance could be destroyed by a piece of rock from outer space.

If that hadn’t happened would we even be here?

It’s a wake up call for all species that we too could be snuffed out.

Best crack on now while the going is good and I’ve still got my human to take me for a trot.

Continue to gaze heavenwards just in case another big boy is coming.

Blessing#2461-Thoughts for the Week

JAWS is in trouble again.

She was completely conked out after our extraordinary extravaganza on the 4th but clearly had recuperated by yesterday morning.

She deftly snuck into my Moms closet and devoured her only remaining flip flops.

They happened to be a fancy pair to boot.

I don’t know if she was taking revenge on Ma for the forced exercise during the expedition or if she was hungry for more than her brekkie provided.

Either way she was in the dog house reflecting on her misdemeanors until her Dad got off work.

Heaven knows what she’ll get up yo next.

In the meantime I plan to take a short trot with her now and then rest up since it’s baking hot once more and we need to replenish glycogen stores for future doggy paddling.

Oh my what a day we had.

It was so exciting.

We went for a spin in our jalopy and arrived at this funny little house.

It has no furniture and lots of mess inside I wondered was it a boarding kennel.

Just then Ma opened a door and there it was.

A gigantic bowl of water right in the middle of the yard.

The niece and I chased each other round in circles until we were dizzy.

Ma and the Bro then did a really weird thing they got into the water.

The niece and I were agreed that the sun had got to their brains and fried them like a sausage.

No! BBQ was for dinner!!!

They dragged us in too!

It was very cool but also scary.

Neither if us felt too confident but we soon were swimming albeit to the edge.

We will post videos of our adventure so y’all can see on Booming Buddies Facebook page.

I’m still exhausted!!!!

Blessing#2459-Pool Day Peeps

Precious Peeps it your very own little PATRIOTIC PITTY here to wish you all a happy holiday that starts our weekend off swell.

Dad is off and has whispered into by tiny ear that he has a super special plan for me.

He says that he and me and the Gizz and Granny are going for a surprise holiday hoe down.

We’re not taking Grandpa because he might keel over in this scorching heat. Something’s are best left in the AC arena.

I’m so excited to find out what is happening.

I know it involves a cruise in Aretha and I sense that some picnic may be involved.

You know me I eat everything but I trust it will be mighty on the meat and not one of Granny’s vegan creations.

Gotta run as it’s time for my brekkie.

Have a fun day and enjoy your freedom fans!!!!

Don’t forget to be like me and always pursue that happiness!!!

Blessing#2458-Independence Day

You know Ma is always looking for a little innovation. Well here’s her latest creation.

She likes oatmeal but goes off it when the weather gets hot.

This week though she came up with a twist on the Scottish staple.

To cool it down she thought I’ll add some ice cold watermelon and you know what it was yum.

Now some of you are probably making your way to the rest room to puke but trust me I tried and gave it the thumbs up.

She felt real smart about the concoction but I’ve assured her that Scarlet O’Hara probably ate this on a regular basis minus the soy milk of course!

Wonder will it have a dramatic effect on her waistline or will she be Gone with the Wind!

Blessing#2457-Fiddle de Dee!

Precious Peeps it’s little old me here your Perfect Princess to heave you over the humpty.

I have had a difficult few days with these crazy storms but the good news is the next week looks as wonderful as me.

Sunny, warm, inviting absolutely my adjectives.

I know that I shake sometimes but be like me and weather the weather.

Forget the past and see only the light bright sunny days ahead.

Oh and lest you are weary sleep in the sun there is nothing quite as wonderful as a well baked body.

It is guaranteed to help you over the highest hurdle.

Talk Friday in the meantime have a great sizzle!

Blessing#2456-Tanning Time

The storms are back and the niece is suffering.

She shook so much on Sunday evening and for so long that Ma was concerned she was going to have a seizure

I really don’t understand what she is worried about. We have a basement.

Now at the new ranch this will be a whole different story. We don’t have a basement so we’ll have to escape into the utility room which will be a tad claustrophobic.

We will cross that bridge when we come to it but in the meantime we have no need to water for the next week!

Make that two!!

Blessing#2455-Inundation

I am more than a tad miffed with Ma and the Bro.

They left the niece and me home with Dad and went to the ranch alone. No swimming for us!!!

Their excuse was they wanted to put the robot in the pool for the first time while they were weeding. Said they couldn’t leave us in with it in case we got strangled.

Now granted they were away for six hours so that might have been a tad too long for us to paddle as Ma was on a mission.

She achieved her goal of pulling every thistle out of the flower beds. She always has to have a very specific target. It’s really hard to live with!!

They cooled off with occasional dips and must have pulled ten thousand thistle.

They brought one giant bag of them back here to trash. It filled the entire trunk of the car.

There are plenty more left in a pile back at the ranch.

The robot worked hard too climbing and diving all afternoon.

What we thought was missing paint on the pool floor turned out to be soil.

Since everyone needs a personal R2-D2 they decided to officially make it a pet.

Given that we are three males in the household it has been given female gender. Ma says it’s appropriate as mostly women do the detailing.

They also worked on a name. The Bro came up with the best one CONSUELO the cleaner!

So we are now officially a family of three humans and three pets.

I fervently look forward to frolicking with the new addition sometime very soon.

Yesterday was full of ups and downs for Ma.

She was in a rush as ever. First to the pool to shock it some more with a mental note to be careful not to get it on her clothes.

She remembered until she forgot and on leaving the ranch discovered her pretty green dress was now looking spotted.

She could not serve tea in this!! They’d think she’d just escaped from HAIR.

This called of course for the purchase of a new garment which turned out to be a treasure.

Soft, floaty to hide tummies and with pockets.

Ideal for tea parties and dog walking too!

The green vestment is being kept for future chemical warfare and will no doubt feature in a makeover sometime soon as a tie dye masterpiece.
