Booming Banter

I thought I might puke yesterday when we came home from our morning trot. It was so stinking hot but that was not the reason.

The niece drank a full bowl of water and then immediately proceeded to throw it up along with her copious breakfast and the half bale of grass she’d eaten on route.

Of course I had not eaten either brekkie or grass as I know that it is not conducive to exercise in hot weather.

Ma decided to let the niece clean things up herself which she dutifully did. Eats anything anytime that dog. She just left the grass.

We then had iced lollipops as we all needed to cool off both bodies and tempers.

Precious Peeps Pits Perfect here to get your weekend off to a wonderful start.

POSITIVITY is what I’m going to preach!

It is in my nature to always think well of myself and I encourage you to do likewise.

My original plan was to retain this piece of philosophy for “Thought for the Week” until I got thinking that some sad old fart like Granny might be out there and need it now.

So it’s Friday and you have no plans except fizz and My Lottery Dream Home. Do not fret.

Even if you are wrinkled like a silk shirt that got mixed with the towels in the tumbler you are still MAGNIFICENT!

Think like me dear dog eared devotee each day of the week! You are ADORABLE.

Trust me. Just walk around today thinking I’m Magnificent and come time for tomorrow you’ll already be half way to believing your INCREDIBLE.

Not a single one of you can possibly have any harder life than me. You don’t have to live with a stinking grumpy grey mongrel do you. Yet here I am on top of the world and PERFECT!

Just do it!

Blessing#2106-Bullishness

We have tons of day lilies in the yard.

Trouble is we hardly ever get to see a flower.

As soon as the buds come on Bambi eats them.

It annoys Ma no end.

So when we do manage to bring one or two in I try to boost Ma’s morale by admiring them up close and telling her how beautiful they are.

“Consider the Lilies of the Field” and all that good stuff Ma!

We’re thinking of digging them up and moving the into big pots and keeping them behind the patio fence.

Soon the whole garden will have been transplanted to the touch proof territory.

My prediction is that in the near term there may be no room for anyone to sit down.

Blessing#2105-Glorious

Precious Peeps it’s PITS Perfect here to get you over this very hot hump day.

To say I am gently glowing is an understatement. I was so hot on the way back from the park yesterday that I had a little roll in the grass.

It is my belief that piggies know a thing or three about cooking off.

Now I’m no Miss Piggy but that grass on my little naked tummy sure feels fine.

Unlike Granny who drips out sweat, all I have to cool be is my tongue and bare tum. So when the licker has been lengthened to the max a girl gotta do something to preserve her poise.

I don’t know how the stinker survives with that fur coat on all I know is he sure stinks worse than usual.

We are setting out very early with Auntie Denise this morning to get the steps in before the sizzle starts so must rush!

Blessing#2104-Cooling Devices

We’re cooking!

You could scramble eggs on the payment and cook hotdogs on your hood.

Even though we go out early it is still sticky at seven am.

Ma is very good to us and doesn’t press us to move fast but in the evening we stride like slugs when we go out for our business.

It only takes a day or two like this and you’re praying for rain.

None in sight for the whole week.

We’ll be well fried by then and somewhat smelly too!

In the cool of our home must chase the niece round the kitchen to burn off a little steam!

Blessing#2103-Indoor Workouts

I know yesterday was Father’s Day and of course I got my Dad a present.

Bet you can guess what!

A book bien sur that Ma snagged in a sale of course!!

Guess what!

I got a present too!!!

In recognition of my endeavors as a surrogate father to the naughty niece my beloved Auntie Lori got me not one but TWO bags of Milkbone Minis.

I am beside myself with happiness.

It recommends that they be used for training purposes so I may give the niece one or two.

May! May not!!!

Blessing#2102-Recognition

We all had to keep our traps shut yesterday morning because Ma was concentrating on watching The Trooping of The Colour!

(Note that on this occasion we overwrote the autocorrect spelling of color as we are true Brits!)

Ma was particularly keen to give the Princess of Wales a good look over. She had previously inspected the King at the Normandy ceremony and proclaimed him fit for duty.

Kate looked stunning but Ma is concerned she is a tad too thin.

My feeling is Ma is just jelly that she is so svelte and Ma is chunky! Don’t tell her I said this!!!!!

It’s great that the PoW is back in action.

We all love her and Ma always cries when she reads messages that the PoW issues as they are so down to earth and sweet.

We’re hoping she’ll be able to make Wimbledon with her family and friends as she deserves some fun after all she’s been through.

Great to see her beaming on the balcony.

Blessing#2101-Rightful Places

Precious Peeps Pits Perfect here just to assure you I’m OK.

Several of you reached out the paw of friendship to me following my post of yester morning

I’m totally fine! Sometimes you just got to speak your mind.

While it is true as the gospel that I do totally hate the stinking Gizz’s slobbers they can put me off to sleep.

So it was that in my slumber I encountered a critter worth chasing.

Granny said my tiny tootsies were going a dinger.

If only our bunnies could get to be this size I’m sure they couldn’t move so fast and I’d be in heaven.

Can you imagine the feast! Heck I might even share some with you know who.

Blessing#2100-Dreaming Big

Precious Peeps Pits Perfect here to get your weekend off to a swinging start.

Hope you’re planning some fun.

Alas I am not, unless that is I take flight like the bluebirds that live in our trees.

If I could I’d run away to a land over the rainbow where grey Gizzards don’t exist.

I’m so totally fed up with the the furball.

He insists on slobbering all over me as though he cared about my well being.

I wish he’d melt like a lemon drop.

My life is no joke!

Anyone got some good poison?

Blessing#2099-Whoodle Whipeout

Ma has been to a lot of places in her life but she still has a lengthy bucket list.

Up close to the top is Pompéi. So she was gripped with interest when a spot on new discoveries at the site was reported on the TODAY program.

A palatial building that had been buried for two thousand years has only just been found.

It’s absolutely pristine and a vibrant sky blue color features prominently.

Not only that there are murals with dogs included.

I knew these Romans were smart.

Do you think she’ll take me too when she goes?

Sometimes it pays to wait a while before rushing to see something.
