Booming Banter

This house remodeling is all well and good but when your Ma has to meet the contractor at 9:30 and it’s an hour drive to get there you get a very small trot.

Here’s the good news though. The fence is fixed so when there is a day that there are no storms in the forecast Ma is going to take me and the niece for a ride so we can chase each other in circles round the yard.

It will be like having our very own dog park. I might jump in the pool too.

Now that the leaves have been removed we can see that the deck is a disaster. So Ma is getting a quote to get it replaced.

I see in my crystal ball that serious depletion of my inheritance is happening in the near future.

What the heck I say if you gotta a pool you gotta have a decent deck to match.

The Bro wants a fire pit too for smores. I know I know no chocolate but I can have double marshmallows or make them white!

Precious Peeps it’s meehee your very own PERFECT Pitty here to help you over the humpty.

I was in need of help myself yesterday afternoon as we had stinker storms.

They were the ones that make the house shake.

Fortunately Dad was home so I jumped into his paws.

I hope they stop when we move because our new house is a littler one and has no basement.

Do you think if I started saying prayers now and you all joined in God would redirect tornado alley away from central Ohio.

Maybe that’s not fair for everyone so let’s ask instead that henceforth he send only “Gentle Rain From Heaven”

That way we’d all be twice blessed.

Just call me Pitty Portia!!!!

I am relieved to report that Ma has overcome her jet lag and slept all through the night.

Being of a compassionate and caring nature this means I too got some super sleep.

See when she awakens, regardless of hour or place it is my bounded duty to spring into action to protect and comfort her.

My reward for this diligence and dedication is simply recognition that I am “THE BEST DOG THAT WAS EVER BORN”

I also accept treats and trots and feel particularly good if I get to ride shot gun around the village. That’s just a helpful hint!

There are advantages to having a house move in the plans.

It means Ma has less time to crochet.

Now I don’t anticipate that we’ll move for months as the new ranch won’t be ready but there is still a lot of scope here to get things going.

There is 15 years of Dads book and paper collection to deal with.

There is 15 years of Ma’s thrift shopping.

There is a mountain of shredded items that Jaws demolished.

The painter who cannot start at the new place because the rewire can’t start till the 23rd is going to start fixing the doors that the niece has claws back to the wood. She scratches everything it’s her thing.

Of course I’ve only got my toy and my leash to pack so I could hike it anytime.

I am such an angel.

We didn’t make it on time to see the funeral of the Pope at the Vatican but we did get to see him arrive at his final resting place.

True to form he had planned that his favorite followers would play a role in receiving him at Saint Marie Majeure as his honor guard. “The shepherd has to smell like sheep”

His transport choice of a pick up truck was also very special.

I bet he had a giggle about this from upstairs.

Of course we had to honor him by watching the entire rerun of the ceremony. Perfect!

We ate pizza and Ma had fizz so I bet he’d approve of that too!!

I’m still a bit miffed with Ma that she was hanging out with a kitty during her vacation.

To make matters worse among the trash at the new ranch another has been found.

It is rather forlorn and a tad wrinkly but Ma says we’re keeping it.

It will have a place by the pool.

If it does any nasty business I’ll have the niece nuke it.

You can’t have too many critters in your kingdom even if they are aged and ugly!!

Precious Peeps it’s PITS PERFECT here to project you into a wonderful weekend.

This one I am pleased to say will be spent with my Granny.

I nearly took her out when she returned with high hugs and killer kisses.

Like me she gained a few pounds over the past ten days.

I attribute mine to lack of exercise. Hers is due to too many Ulster Fry breakfasts, fish suppers and general over indulgence of all things Irish.

She brought back some Tayto cheese and onion crisps for Dad and Grandpa but the Gizz and I only got one each.

So now she’s back to porridge we will be out and about kicking up the steps again to redress each imbalance.

I trust you too will have time for trots this weekend and always remember you are almost as PERFECT as a Princess!!

Blessing#2388-Ups and Downs

I’m lying here beside Ma feeling so happy to have her home.

She got back around 9:00pm yesterday that’s 2:00 am Irish time so she had a long day.

We went to bed an hour later but she woke up three times in the middle of the night but i didn’t say a word. She can’t help the time change.

The biological clock may be disrupted for a few days to come but it will mean we get up earlier. I’ll just take a Power Nap or two to keep me going.

Can’t wait to get a decent trot today.

Blessing#2387-Back to Business

Precious Peeps it’s a very happy PITS Perfect here to help you over the humpty.

Granny is coming home tonight unless she is blown away in an Irish gale or eaten by the gulls!!!

I know because Grandpa and Dad have been tidying up and cleaning so she’ll have nothing to moan about when she arrives!!!

I am going to jump on her and hug her and kiss her from head to toe.

She may be a bit grumpy sometimes but she is the best trotter I know.

As you all know the wonderful Pope Francis has crossed the rainbow bridge.

Just like the dear departed Queen Elizabeth he worked till his last day.

We were particularly fond of this Pope because he took the name of Saint Francis a dude who loved all critters.

True to the original Francis’s form this Francis demonstrated love for all peeps.

Ma felt very close to him because he spent a lot of time in prisons. Even last Thursday he was there!

Wonder who he’ll meet in heaven?
