Booming Banter

The niece and I got to go for a ride in the car yesterday. It was freezing but very sunny so we pretended it was spring.

The THING is generally quiet in the car until we stop and then she starts scraping the floor like crazy.

It makes the car shake.

It’s hard to understand as Ma always makes sure JAWS has a pee before we take off.

Maybe she wants to escape or wants to get up front.

She is kept in the back in the trunk. Don’t fret or freak out it’s a hatch back so she has a window. Slobber covered I should add.

I of course ride shotgun and keep my eye out for any adversaries who might come our way.

When JAWS has finished scraping she starts singing. It’s all very perplexing but I don’t complain as a car ride is a car ride even if you have to listen to both Ma and the MONSTER.

Oh dear we lost!

I don’t know if there are any other people out there like my Mom but she feels responsible.

See she reasons that if we hadn’t said that we were cheering for the CHIEFS they’d have won but because we did the EAGLES had the victory.

Medically qualified persons reading this please feel free to comment if you think she has some sort of psychological condition because we canines don’t think this way.

I kept telling her “don’t worry Ma just eat the rest of those Laddus and Jalebis that we had for the halftime show and they will though you into a sugar coma”

She didn’t listen though and had just one serving more as solace!

So here we are awake at 5:30 blaming ourselves for this tragedy.

Oh well I suppose a snuggle of support might help her!

Blessing#2315-Next Year

Good Sunday morning to you. Today is special because it’s SUPERBOWL!

For those of you living on planets outside the USA this event ranks up there with Thanksgiving and Christmas in our national culture.

It is a unifying feast of chicken wings, dips and chili cheese nachos.

The best bit is the commercial as far as I’m concerned but I am starting to get into it after all my years on this earth.

Tonight in New Orleans the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

Ma and Dad and me are rooting for the CHIEFS since Ma use to go often to Kansas City when she worked in pet food. She still has pals there and my long deceased much beloved Labrador uncles Darcy and Bingley came from there.

The niece and her father will no doubt cheer for the Eagles just to make the atmosphere a little more edgy in our homestead.

Just be sure that y’all take long naps this afternoon as these events have a habit of going on forever.

Blessing#2315-Game Day

Girls drive me nuts.

They are always talking about fashion and celebrities and royals and all sorts of nonsense.

I think this type of communication is a waste of time.

I may have to have a word with Ma’s nemesis about this.

Since he’s slashing all sorts of good things he might as well take the axe to such girls gobbledygook too.

Maybe he could put them on a rocket and shoot them off to Venus. That’s a girls place if I’m not mistaken!

Precious Peeps PITS PERFECT here to wing you into the weekend.

I trust you are wearing RED like me!!

Granny had to write herself a note to remind herself.

Not only is it heart awareness day it’s also the annual GALENTINES EVENT at the tearoom.

I said to her this morning that she really should bring me along.

If nothing else I’d provide some unforgettable entertainment not to mention giving all those cream laden hostess plates a good lick.

I could save her so much time and so much money on DAWN but she won’t hear of it.

She says all her pretty people would be petrified.

I’m hopeful a few cucumber sandwiches will still find their way to my tummy.

Have a tickityboo weekend wondrous ones.

Blessing#2311-Pumping Pitty.

That PIT is a joke.

She thinks all I do is eat and sleep.

She has no idea of the efforts I have to put into getting Ma together of a morning.

If I wasn’t behind her whispering that it’s time to go the Black Beauty would be locked in her chambers and we’d miss our rendezvous with Auntie Denise.

I may get a tidbit now and then but it’s a labor of love to activate the ancient one.

I sometimes have to get right up close and belt a bellow in her ear.

Is it any wonder that I get grumpy.

She’s told me today there is no amount of sweet nothings that will work as there is black ice outside and she ain’t for slipping so the Bro will do our doggy duty!!!

Blessing#2310-Added Appreciation

Precious Peeps it’s me your very own positive Pitty here to project you over the humpty with my very own piece of priceless philosophy.

Each morning before Granny comes to release me like Rapunzel from the chamber I share with Dad I know she and the stinking Gizz are up to no good.

I can smell the breakfast and hear the crunch of milk bones and yet they pretend that I’m the lucky one to be given a bowl of kibble.

Now any lesser mortal than me may protest at this injustice but here’s the thing.

To live a happy and joyful life like me you have to accept that even the finest fare is tasteless if you don’t eat it with thanks.

So dear reader don’t be jelly if you see someone having a farm f wsh egg sandwich stick you nose deep into your crunchies and crack on with your day in a happy way!!!

Blessing#2309-Digging In

The snow hadn’t even melted and our extended family were back in force munching.

They feast on our forage at least twice daily.

Creatures of habit just like me!

The morning munch happens around 8:30 am so we catch them in the act on our return from our trot.

Evening eating is usually around 5:00 pm so Ma sometimes catches them in the act when she swings into the driveway.

They don’t even bother to budge for her.

I give them a bellowing bark that usually does the job if I happen to see them but r ally they are part of our pack and don’t often listen.

You gotta give it to them they are faithful friends.

Well dears it seems winter isn’t over just yet.

Yesterday at dawn Punxsutawney Phil did his annual duty.

He has spoken out loud and clear and has returned to his bunker for another six weeks.

So famous has this groundhog become that his prediction was covered live on SKY news.

The very serious British news reader clearly was annoyed that he was having to cover such an item. Let’s hope we don’t do that again he said!

Sometimes people need to loosen up a little and embrace the more tender moments in life like middle aged men dressed like Lincoln whispering to a fat little critter.

The little ditty Phil composed was adorable too.

This is my kind of news. It got my day off to a good start even if I’m in for further freezing feet!!!

Blessing#2307-Light Entertainment

Well we are thrilled that Ireland is off to a great start in the six nations rugby

Ma was at work but googling the results in between service and dishes.

It’s touching how the old gal still has such strong ties to the homeland.

I’m hoping to maybe make the trip across the big pond one day myself.

Being of a wolfhound nature I’m sure I’d fit right in.

Maybe I could audition as a mascot.

I may have to start drinking the black stuff.

They say it’s good for you!
