Booming Banter

I am becoming increasingly concerned about my status as a stud.

Ma and Auntie Marsha are in cahoots to crochet me a cape. Trust me it’s not like Superman’s.

Uncle Jim is even in on it as he had to stand with my PawPal Libby Grace for a photo of the “model” garment.

I just know I will never live this down.

Who will ever take me seriously again if I have to parade around my pitch with this “gown” on.

Maybe I’ll run away.

No wait!!

Forget that it is way too cold to wander.

I listen to everything Auntie Denise and Ma talk about.

Yesterday as the niece was shivering while I did my jobs Auntie Denise suggested Ma knit the crit a coat.

I could barely contain myself.

She is just about the ugliest dog on the planet and if you add to that a vestige she would be a laughing stock.

It was at that moment, as I was doubled in two, I heard Ma say “I’ll need one for Scooby too!

Seems I’m going to the groomer next week.

Now that makes no sense to me at all but at least I’ll get a car ride.

Precious Peeps PITS here to project you into the weekend.

It is going to feel like summer because it’s only going to be -12C for the low and wait for it to +1C for the high.

I’m thinking my poor Pitty paws need a manicure after the trauma of this week.

Have you seen posts about dogs having their nails painted? It’s so cool and must be attractive to the opposite sex.

I’m sure Remington would find me even more Puppylicious if I was putting on my sassy streak.

It’s a tad expensive though.

Maybe he would pay for it for Valentines.

Must drop a few hints his way on the water hydrant.

Girls can but dream.

Be like me go for gold. Lots and lots of gold!

Dear reader don’t be confused.

My secretary got her numbers mixed up again. So we are now correctly on 1695.

The cold is impacting the blood circulation to her brain.

All the tiny capillaries in our paws have constricted to conserve heat loss.

I wish that it would warm up just enough to feel less like White Fang and more like Goofy.

Did you know though that it’s even cold at Disney.

Such weather calls for additional calories so I’m anxious to get some more milk bones.

If you would have elected me rather than The Donald I’d have made sure that every household had a supply.

Oh well there is always next time. I might be a geriatric by then but I guess that would be consistent.

Stay toasty and eat up.

Precious Peeps those living in Ohio may need an extra heave to make it over the humpty this week.

It’s a mere minus 20C or minus 23C if you factor in the wind chill so your paws may stick to the ground if you stay still for more than a few seconds.

I have become expert at off loading my business at speed but the stupid Gizz still needs time to swing into action.

Of course this means I have to hang around too until Granny gets the goop.

Poor old gals nose is the color of Rudolph’s.

She is brave though to go out in this as many’s another ancient would toss us onto the patio and not walk us at all.

Speaking of which it’s that time. I’m hopeful the stinking Gizz will get stuck to a letter box when his pee freezes and that he’ll die of hypothermia.

Talk soon tigers.

Loyal readers may recall that Ma started knitting a sweater in January 2024.

When it was finished she didn’t like it so ripped in out and started over.

She stopped knitting about April 2024 when TAKE 2 was half done.

Well she started this year by ripping out again.

Since then she has used the wool to make herself a scarf and matching mittens that have come very useful in the past few weeks and a tea cost that’s on sale at the shop.

Of course there is still a lot of opportunity left as one sweater calls for a lot of wool.

So it was that yesterday with us all being grounded another project took shape.

It’s a sort of sweater but this time for a baby. I think it’s the best outcome to date.

Lesson learned don’t settle with something that doesn’t make you happy there will always be something better that develops.

It’s going to be a hectic viewing day with the inauguration and then the big OSU game tonight.

We are going to walk as far as our tootsies will allow this morning as thereafter we will be grounded by the attic blast that is descending rapidly on us and two hundred million others in the USA.

I fear that the niece and me will need to resort to indoor circuit training.

It’s Martin Luther King Jr day as well so there won’t be any postman to bark at but I’m sure we’ll find something.

Do deer come out in this cold or do they all just huddle in a heap?

We shall see!

Yesterday was so boring for me but Ma had a good time at the prison.

The Retreat was on the theme fruits of the spirit.

I must say that when I thought about this I concluded that as a species we canines possess these in abundance.

Ma says she could use an injection to boost her levels on many of these!

Just be like me Ma.

Start by wagging your tail instead of your finger.

If nothing else it will give us all a giggle

I had to get up at 5:15 this morning as Ma has a “Retreat” at the prison. The volunteers have to be at security by 7:00 am and it’s a 40 minute drive to get there. So work that out and add in coffee and porridge.

I was lucky to get out for a pee and am miffed she is taking a day off and not spending it with me!!!

I’m hoping the Bro will take me further than the length of his arm when he surfaces but that might be wishful thinking.

At least I have Dad to reply on for treats when I give him my best begging eyes.

He’s not such a bad old soul even if he shouts at us sometimes when we get sassy with the barking.

Blessing#2291- The Look

Precious Peeps PITS here to project you into the weekend.

After much sleep I am almost restored to my perfect state unlike my Dads car that has been towed away.

Who knows if I will see it again. Depends on the assessment and if it is reparable.

I’ll just dream of times past touring in it!

In the meantime he has a fancy brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee that the insurance company arranged until a decision is reached on the wreck.

I’m not sure if I’ll land a ride in it as it’s super fancy and shiny clean and must be returned in the same condition.

I’ll settle for a spin in Ganny’s jalopy.

Anything’s better than nothing.
