Booming Banter

I watched the first half hour of the debate on Tuesday and decided I’d rather go to bed.

Ma agreed , she said she’d already decided long ago that she’s supporting me.

There will be nothing but TV spots from now till the election with as they say in Ireland each one “cutting the tripe out of each other”.

People in the USA may not know what tripe is so let me explain; it’s the stomach of a cow.

It probably finds its way into pet food but some hoomans like to eat it too when it’s stewed with onions.

It’s a delicacy that Ma has never eaten which is surprising because she eats everything but she said it’s because it looks so wrinkly it would be like eating her own hide.

I’d give it a go and I know the niece would gobble it up like a turkey being fattened but dogs should never be allowed onions so that rules that out.

No arguing about that. Onions are out!!

Precious Peeps what day is it? You got it right it’s hump day.

No doubt for you it is now almost as good as Friday because you get a Pitty Perfect Post.

I am here to propel you over the pinnacle of mediocrity aka as Mercredi (si vous parlez français comme moi!)

It never dawned on me until now that those two words may have the same root. Maybe they don’t.

Maybe they just sorta look similar in the same way the Grey Gizz and I have both got four legs and two ears and are about the same height.

Seen as a shadow we may appear of common origin or as skeletons devoid of tissue we may be indistinguishable but there is a big BUT.

I am adored with a gleaming black glossy coat and sparking eyes whereas he is sparsely coated with a mere tuft of a toupee.

Nothing could be further apart than me and that piece of plankton.

If that wasn’t enough for one morning here is the conclusion to the conundrum.

See you Friday for more fab fun folks.

Blessing#2189-Mid Week Wondering

When WordPress decides as it did just now to do strange things at 6:30 in the morning and duplicate and then publish my post from the previous day it gets me all agitated.

Makes me feel like there’s trouble ahead today.

Of course I know that under the Bros bed that there is a black demon waiting to pounce buts she is a devil I know.

I’ll be wary now until the day is through that some other jiggery pokery is going to invade my space or a meteor is going to fall from the sky and exterminate us like the dinosaurs within the next 24hours.

All this because things didn’t go exactly as planned.

Am I the only one that feels like this?

If you spill your OJ or burn your toast do you start looking over your shoulder?

Maybe I’ll get Ma to stay in bed just to be on the safe side but then I’d be bursting and thirsty and hungry.

So I better get up and face the music even if the day ahead might turn into an opera.

Ma did it again. She took off on our special snuggle day.

This time she went to The Marion Women’s Club for an Ohio Open Doors Event.

The history group, of which she is a member, were putting on the show about the life and times of Shauck and Ida Barlow.

It was a celebration of their 137 wedding anniversary. Needless to say they were present only in spirit.

The couple donated their beautifully home to the women’s federation of Marion County when they passed in the 1940s.

Over the years the Women’s Club have faithfully maintained and furnished the home. This is a considerable task and achievement given its age and size calling for much fund raising.

Yesterday the home was open to the public and there was a special exhibition of wedding dresses from the past century including my Moms and my Granny’s.

They were hung side by side and Ma said it was really quite touching to see them on display together.

Who’d ever have thought these dresses of County Down gals would both be in a mansion in Ohio!!!

Good times and cake and lemonade were had by all. Except me of course.

Maybe next time they can do a feature on Pets from the past and I’ll make an appearance too. As a presenter!!!

Do you ever feel neglected? Like you are in someone’s shadow.

That’s me! Shrunk in significance!!

This stinking Pitty just wrecks everything.

The bedroom door to the master chamber may be locked henceforth when not in use.

This is catastrophic as it’s my lookout point for bicycles.

She has destroyed my life as well as Ma’s shoes and underwear!!!

The only thing that I can say about my birthday is that it was average.

Yes I went for a walk to the park

Yes I got good treats

BUT

I did not get a new squeaky because Ma said Jaws would eat it

Plus there was a storm! Ma said it was a birthday blessing just for me as we haven’t had rain for yonks. The lawn looks like straw.

So we didn’t get a good afternoon walk as promised but the naughty niece was petrified so I got a giggle out of that.

I’m hoping that when I move to the White House there will be cake and candles and presents from all over the world.

What I’d appreciate most is if someone in New Zealand is willing to provide a visa for a Pitty passport!!! She is banned in Britain or I’d ship her to Auntie Carol!!!

Precious Peeps Pits Perfect here to wing you into the weekend.

I fear it will be a woeful one for me because you know who has his birthday today.

He is now officially middle aged 42 in hooman years but he was born old.

Always had that stinking Grey hair and grumped around like an old Grandpa.

I hope he gets a nice new squeaky from Granny so I can shred it swiftly.

I hate him and I hate that my Dad cuddles him and that everyone that I love will be sending messages to him and not me.

Please consider this Pitty’s plight and plot to have him exterminated before he does another turn around the sun.

Blessing#2184-Bashing

So we had a first yesterday. Facebook blocked the niece’s post. I know she writes rubbish but come on she’s a Pitty!

We were obliged to edit and relaunch.

Now one might speculate that this is because the original made reference to a certain politician.

It might also be that we used a photo of “The Police” album that we referenced.

Regardless here is what we were told.

What we wonder was misleading?

Do you think there are real people taking these decisions or is it once again the great AI!

We are not the sort of subjects to ever be offensive but this has caused us some serious speculation as to why and how these decisions are made.

Blessing#2183-Platforms

Precious Peeps Pits Perfect here to wish you a happy hump day!

This will make you think as it’s extremely powerful yet practical philosophy.See Granny happened on this interview with a well known figure.

Perhaps the great AI had heard her speak unkindly about him so had to prove her wrong.

Anyway, this guy explained that he had been addicted to crack for years. One day just by chance he came upon a book called Synchronicity by the great Carl Jung.

He said he was attracted to the book because his favorite album at the time was of the same title. Granny said it was her fav too at one time so they had something in common. Now according to Jung synchronicity is when things happen that we put down to coincidence but that are really little encounters with God.

You might think that it’s just by chance that you call Auntie Carol just as she sends you a text but it’s not.

So Jung goes on to say that if you believe and put your faith in God these happenings will become more evident. So it was that this person transformed his life. He put his faith in God and synchronicity started and he kicked the crack.

Now, that’s great and we are happy for him but here is there is a funny thing about this story. The very morning that we read it which incidentally was Sunday past, when Granny took us out for our trot we both pooped at exactly the same time in our front yard.

That is my usual practice but the Grey Gizzard usually has to walk half a mile at least before his job is done. Granny said it was God reinforcing the point about synchronicity and clearly, as she’d always believed, God loves a good giggle.
