Booming Banter

Precious Peeps it’s PITS. I’m here to propel you into a wonderful weekend.

I see this as part of my life’s mission to render the rundown runts in each litter into robust rebels with a cause.

Bet you didn’t know I was so well read!

I’m doing my best in this season of stumbling stocks to bring smiles to ever face.

Sort of like the transformation that is starting at the new ranch.

Granny is off there at 7:00 this morning as the water is finally being switched on except it’s not really as it’s turned off at the mains since there is a burst pipe in the bathroom.

There may be other leaks that aren’t so obvious so even though we will have a supply at the street level we must wait till the plumber is there to check the full system and he is busy till Tuesday.

Now if this didn’t make you feel better I don’t know what will. No one can possibly beat that bubble of trouble!

Can there be any crazier person than Granny willing to take on such a challenge.

That’s where I get my guts from.

Be like me keep pushing ahead like a Pitty.

This just won’t do!

I’m meant to be the treasure of retirees!

Alas no! Ma and Pa left home at 8:45 yesterday morning and returned at 4:30.

Fortunately the Bro started work at 11:00 so he let me out for a pee at 10:30.

It’s such a strain being in charge of the house and the niece for this amount of time.

She senses my anxiety too so she plays up.

Chewed up another one of the Bro’s pillows.

I kept us safe from all threats of invasion but I’m just exhausted!

I plan to sleep all day today once I get the trash out, have a long trot, see Ms off to the tearoom and eat lunch with Dad.

Precious Peeps it’s your Pretty Pitty here to help you over the humpty once more.

Granny and Grandpa are going to meet one of the contractors this morning to see if they can finalize the plans for the rip out of the stinky carpet at the RANCH.

Once that is done me and the Gizz may be allowed indoors. Until it’s gone Granny fears that our hyper sensitive snouts may be so overcome by the stench that veterinary bills could be incurred.

I keep telling Granny to chill that we are tougher than she thinks.

After all don’t I share a bedroom with my Dad?

Sometimes I’m misunderstood though so I’ll say no more.

Just hope for harmony and a home that hums with happiness.

Blessing#2372-Up and Out

Ma made a discovery yesterday.

She did something she’s never done before.

She stir fried cucumber.

Surprisingly it stayed super crunchy and even when the tomatoes and mushroom were soft and mushy the green gourd was crisp.

Now let me clarify that this particular little veggie had been dressed as a salad, soaked in balsamic vinegar dressing for a day but remained uneaten.

Could that be the reason for its remarkable performance?

Regardless, I got none of it as Ma amplified the heat of the moment with a monstrous amount of chili.

Blessing#2371-Cool As

In the midst of managing the money there are unexpected and uplifting rewards at the RANCH that were sown years earlier.

Ignoring the stock market and even the quotes for the rehab of the house I’m focused this morning on the little joys you see that one day are buried and the next alive.

So it was that Ma was delighted to discover that one of her favorite plants, the hosta, is present in abundance at the front of the RANCH.

She has planted them here many times but the deer eat them as dessert.

She is optimistic that these are more secure as so far not a single Bambi has been spotted.

Blessing#2370-Shoots

Ma has stopped talking.

See the estimates are coming in so she is doing sums all the time.

She keeps frowning which is not becoming to one so wrinkled.

It makes her look very frightening.

The niece keeps staring her in the eye as I fear she thinks she’s done something wrong.

I’m trying to reassure her it’s just a passing phase! See I can be kind to my kin sometimes!

Poor old Bro who got in at 2:00am was awakened at 7:00 to print something Ma couldn’t do herself.

I do secretly fear for the sanity of the family.

Please let her get some good news soon.

Blessing#2369-Fast Fund Facts

I may build an ark soon and sail off down the Olentangy into the Scioto and onwards into the Ohio River.

These rains are once in a generation according to Al Roker.

It doesn’t do a great deal for my hairdo either but of course I’m not at all vain.

The naughty niece may die soon of the shaking sickness.

Wouldn’t that be wonderful?

I could be the one and only once again and totally rule the roost at the new ranch.

Maybe these storms aren’t so stinking after all!!

Blessing#2368-Wetter than Wet

Precious Peeps it’s Pits.

I’m been in a diabolically bad state. We have had nothing but storms. Hopefully some respite for a few hours today.

Add to this meteorological misfortune the fact that my Granny dumped me yesterday and went to the RANCH for the whole day.

She met every tradesman under the sun all of whom are now working on quotes for her so she can spend more of my Milk Bone inheritance.

She was ecstatic yesterday morning when she open the daily Lenten devotional from our church.

She was convinced it was another God wink.

I suppose I must agree given that the carpenter thinks he can fix the fence and the pool guys says he is hopeful we can get by with deep cleaning and a new pump.

So pray this little Pitty will be plunging before the summer is over and that the BOOM BOOMS STOP!

Blessing#2367-Hurdles and Help

You know it doesn’t take much to make Ma’s day.

So it was yesterday morning while perusing Facebook she hit on a reel from the Princess of Wales brother J. Middy and his canine companions.

OMG she screamed they have the same chairs as us.

Quickly quickly before the storm comes we have to get a photo of you two too.

So we posed and she snapped and you have to admit she is right.

Best bit?

She dumpster dived the entire set of patio furniture six years ago! It’s still going strong apart from the covers the niece snacked on.

Now everything’s taken on a whole new allure!

Precious Peeps Pits Perfect here to help you over the humpty.

I am feeling a little mid week moody myself.

See there are tornadoes coming our way again and you know what that does to my tiny ticker.

Add to this the possibility of up to fifteen inches of rain in the next days and I’m not feeling funny.

However, my dear reader do not despair.

If you are surrounded by loved ones like me you can snuggle for safety.

If you have a Granny though be sure to make it clear to her you do not wish to walk in the storm! Dig your nails in dude!!!
