Booming Banter

Next weekend is the annual FRIENDSGIVING Fashion and Lunch Event at the tearoom and Paula’s Posh Picks.

Ma is determined to come up with some new items in the next 48 hours!! We are her guinea pigs!

Now sometimes this is a good deal but it can also go south swiftly.

She’s trying to find fall themes with cranberries and sweet potatoes and apples and mushrooms and such so if you have any good recipes send them her way. QUICKLY!

Don’t trouble her with anything too complex or she might throw in the towel.

We’re especially interested in anything that is idiot proof.

If you don’t hear from me tomorrow you’ll know I choked on a ciabatta crouton!

Please help me survive this impending trauma!!!! It may last a few days!!!!

Ma says that there is a famous book about 1984 that no one ever dreamed might come true but today it’s looking likely.

BIG Brother is indeed watching and I don’t mean our Aaron.

Does it spook you out that one minute you are Googling “appetizers for thanksgiving” and the next thing you know your feed is full of them.

We get lots of doggie reels because we are a sucker for them but Ma gets mad when she gets things about shape wear and tummy tucks.

Do you think our phones can see us from less than flattering angles?

Maybe we need to see a new era when we get back to letter writing.

I could personalize my correspondence with a fine paw print.

It would all fit in so fine with the retro vibe at our tearoom.

Maybe I need to pass this thought on to Ma for some marketing magic.

What book has a very cosy vibe? Little Women? Cider with Rosie? You decide. We will copy as a counter to AI!

Precious Peeps it’s Pits here to whizz you into the weekend.

I intend to have a ball. Not a tennis or baseball but a formal dancing occasion.

Even if it’s in my dreams I’m getting dolled up. I might paint my toenails to match my collar.

My permanent little black dress will be smoothed to perfection and all slobbers will be removed from mon visage!

Do you think if I stared long enough at one of the many pumpkins around my neighborhood it might turn into a glass carriage?

Gals this is what y’all need to do DREAM BIG.

Trust me that even if all you get at the end of the day is a bowl kibble if you pretend it’s something straight out of Gordon Ramsay’s your endorphins will escalate.

Be like me; live in a Cinderella cloud cuckoo land and you’ll have hope in your heart.

Enjoy everything especially the entertaining extravaganza of bring a pal of a true PRINCESS!

Blessing#2584-Fairy Tale

There is something about this time of year that is awesome and that’s the sunrise and sunset.

There is also something ing that drives Ma and me nuts.

For some reason we hear Casey Jones tooting much louder as he rolls through town.

He is particularly powerful with his horn around midnight and on his return at 3:00 am!!!

We decided to share our frustration with Auntie Denise who dutifully listens each morning to all our troubles.

Being astute as can be Denise believes the issue is related to a matter of physics.

See it is currently much drier than spring or summer and so she postulates that the sound waves make it to our tiny ears much stronger than when they are buffered by humidity.

Make sense to me so we shall have to test the theory and see if next time it rains we hear the call as clearly.!!!

Precious Peeps it’s your very own PERFECT Princess here to heave you over the humpty.

Yesterday I followed with interest the activities at Windsor.

My hunny bunny hero Sir David looked heavenly handsome in his new suit.

It was the first in the men’s line from his lovely LADY.

I’m a little jelly of her.

I’d like to find a hunk like him.

He’s so kind and good too. The new Lancelot!

This was definitely a good decision by his majesty.

They share a lot in common it would seem like chickens and compost and organic veggies.

I think they need a Pitty.

Please petition.

Have a good time today and we’ll talk as always on Friday.

You’re Precious too!

Blessing#2582-Kings Favor

Well y’all know we went to the vet last week. While there we got our heart worm and flea and tick meds for the year.

Being creatures of habit Ma and Pa like to set the first Monday of each month as the day to administer our prevention pills.

So yesterday Dad dug everything out while we were out for our trot.

When we got back he says to Mom that there’s been a mistake and we have been given enough of the flea and tick to last three years.

Oops!

So Ma grabs the meds and says she’ll go return it and get back big bucks.

HOWEVER, when Ma was half way there Dad opened one packet only to discovered it contained just one gigantic pill.

This would explain why it only has to be taken once every three months.

So Ma did a U-turn and all was well and let me tell you that big old chewable was soooooooooooooooo delicious!!!!!

The Bro has renewed his subscription to streaming services so we have millions of options again on things to watch.

Last evening Ma binged on Victoria Beckham.

That LADY sure is tenacious and her hubby definitely is a KNIGHT in shining armor.

They are all so good looking and it would seem very down to earth.

Must be their close connections to their canines that keep them so cool.

I noticed Vic takes FIG to work with her.

Just saying that the season is now right that Ma could take me too to the tearoom. I know I won’t be allowed inside but I won’t suffocate or freeze if she left me in the car.

Help me by bombarding Ma with messages to support my case.

I’m lying here next to Ma as she writes my thoughts for you.

She is a great secretary as well as being as warm as any hot water bottle.

We were just reflecting on AI.

Most of us encounter it in the form of autocorrect when we’re bantering and such.

We find it to be extremely stupid.

Regardless of the sentence it insists on LOVE becoming LIVE and WERE is automatically transformed to WE’RE.

If it’s so smart why does it make such mistakes?

Have you ever LIVED someone?

Clearly that is the big difference between it and us.

LONG LIVE LOVE

Blessing#2579-The Real Thing

Did you have a happy Halloween? We were busy. Ma took the day off work.

First we went for our trot with Auntie Denise.

Jaws was very well behaved.

See what happened was when we went to the vet on Tuesday she got all her shots and did well during her physical but got a little feisty when they were trying to draw her blood for her annual tests. So they gave us some pills to make her mellow. She had to take two the night before and two two hours before her rescheduled draw.

She walked along beside Ma like she belonged in Crufts. Didn’t pull at a single squirrel.

When we got back home we did our baking for the big birthday party that is today. One customer can’t have gluten or eggs so Ma was experimenting. She turned out something that looks OK but may taste like cardboard.

After that Jaws was given her second dose of pills and Ma went for the weekly groceries.

When she returned it was time for a quick bite of lunch and then she and the Bro took the Thing back to the vet.

All went well this time so we’ll know for next year.

The Bro then left for work and we all had a little rest before getting the candy out for trick or treating.

Dad got a peanut stuck in his throat so he was coughing all evening which made Ma mad as she was trying to listen to all the latest gossip on the Royals.

We had quite some visitors this year as the weather was fine and almost all our candy disappeared.

In spite if all the comings and goings Jaws remained remarkably calm until bedtime. We are wondering should we maintain this protocol permanently to get some peace!!!

Sure worked like magic that spell.
