Booming Banter

When you can’t walk you gotta do other things that keep your nerves at bay.

The niece and I had had enough fighting and chasing by dinner time so we settled in to chewing.

Humans should get Nylas they are great.

Totally calorie free and they take ages to demolish.

Especially useful for epic movies like the one we watched last night.

It went on for hours and hours and hours but there was no end to our Nylas.

Greetings Precious Peeps it’s your very own Princess Perfect here to warm your heart on a cold day.

When the temperatures outside mean the most you’ll get in terms of a trot is a turn around your own back yard there is only one thing to think of and that’s food.

You know Granny and I love to cook together so we always have our eyes out for Facebook post with recipes.

Sometime you find things that are ancient.

Take this as an example.

Fancy modern versions look so much more appealing.

Guess you have got to put them both to the test before deciding which one is best.

It’s sorta like Poodles and Pittys one may be all fluffy and foo foo but is a real nasty piece of work.

You simple can’t judge a book by its cover.

There is an article vortex headed our way. Temperature shown in centigrade for our international pals.

Ma is contemplating knitting Nala a jumper.

I said don’t bother.

Let’s just loose her and she’ll freeze like a PRETTY PITTY popsicle.

Maybe on reflection over hot coffee that’s a little cruel.

After all if we can’t go for a walk, which my nose tells me could well be the case, she is useful to play chase with.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect.

I’m posting because you may have been concerned I had passed.

Fortunately no! I’m still alive but am excessively bored.

I have been baking a lot trying to encourage some action. Alas all Granny is doing is knitting which is about as stimulating as Scooby.

I fear that too much sleep may not induce beauty.

It makes your jowls droop.

I need to romp around a little!!!!

Please pray that Scooby is soon run over by a large vehicle and quickly replaced by a frisky fellow to keep me on my pointy pitty toes.

If your Christmas Tree is still up take heart, ours is too.

Ma has decided that until such times as the Bro hauls the box from the garage to put it into hibernation till December it’s staying where it is.

Thats a feeble excuse as the outside one and the minora are also beaming bright as well.

We’re not alone. There’s still quite some of the neighborhood decors that are much brighter than ours that are going strong.

Keep the festive spirit alive I say. Doesn’t hurt anyone except the electric grid.

Stinking weather yesterday. Rain rain and then more rain!

So the morning trot was tiny and we had to find other activities.

Fortunately the deer gave us some morning amusement and then we made Belfast Baps to go with our VEGAN lentil soup!

I decided to completely ignore the niece and take some downtime and dream of venison!

It’s very eco friendly you know!! Grass fed by us!!!!!!

Have you ever remarked how closely knitting needles resemble harpoons?

As I was mesmerized by the clicking last evening it dawned on me I could stick one or both of the pointies into Trouble and be done with her forever.

Now all I have to do is work on a firing mechanism.

I could make it look like a self inflicted injury and then she’d be out of my life for good.

Pity I don’t think so!!!!!

We watched Society of the Snow this weekend about that plane crash years ago. Man those guys were brave.

Anyway while watching, don’t ask why Ma remembered the old slogan « One Man One Vote » which got her thinking that we could translate to « One Dog One Bone »

I laughed and snatched a Nyla from Nala just to show that on this ranch there is but one head honcho and that’s ME!

As if to reinforce my position the Bro decided to scratch my stomach which nearly drove the niece insane with jealousy.

I am most certainly numéro uno!

Over the past few days we’ve watched the Netflix series YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT.

It’s all about comparing the health impact of eating vegan versus an omnivorous. It’s a twin study so one twin goes vegan for eight weeks. They both do a lot of exercise and the bottom line is the vegans loose more visceral fat but they also loose more muscle or build less muscle as the case may be.

It’s run by very reputable scientists who conclude that the vegans had extended telomeres over just eight weeks and that this may be an indicator for improved lifespan.

There’s also a very big push towards the environmental benefits of going vegan.

Now as you know both Ma and Pa worked in the food industry so they have an understanding of these sorts of issues. They know that animal products generate huge environmental footprints in intensive rearing settings but switching for example from cows milk to almond milk is not a sustainable solution. Almonds eat up huge quantities of water and that sooner rather than later water is going to be the big issue

That being said the sight of all those poor chickens and piggies and cows that were shown in this series touched Ma’s heart.

So bottom line I have to prepare the meat loving bro for a shock! At least one or maybe even two nights a week, if Ma can manage to conjure up some tasty dishes, we are going vegan. No milk, cheese, eggs or meat!!!!

Dad has also been informed that next week he’s making soy yogurt rather than our usual whole fat milk.

As for me and the niece we are safe for now kibble is not being culled!
