Booming Banter

Sometimes I look back on the blissful days when I was the one and only canine in this household.

It was so peaceful and we were all so quiet. Like a meteor hitting the dinosaurs, the arrival of Jaws was enough to exterminate the hardiest of creatures.

I’ve just about survived these two years.

Sometimes I think we are tied together and there is no escape.

It’s very aging all this agro.

The only hope of escape for me is a move to the White House so please consider my plight and don’t vote for anyone but me!

It is gospel that at least once a week Ma makes the comment “That Dog is better than any dishwasher” referring of course to the indomitable beast that is the niece.

I tell you her tongue can go where no bleach can reach.

If you have anything at all burnt or stuck solid ship it here for guaranteed results.

Of course once she’s finished we put everything on the sanitize cycle in the trusty Whirlpool.

I’m much more a gourmet than a gourmand so I don’t get involved instead I savor for later the niceties of life.

At the minute my Ma has got Kairos on the brain. There are bags of papers everywhere and it seems like every spare minute she has she’s typing names into the computer.

It’s may be « God’s Time » but it’s eating into mine. Sometimes I have to protest and redirect her to me.

Usually on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday when she is off work the niece and I get to hang out with her and go for two good walks a day and cook yummy dinners.

Not now! It’s all very trying. Would put years on you!!! She fires things into a pot and it’s a one stop shot. Very few opportunities for spills and treats.

Fortunately she gets so cross eyed looking at the screen that she caves in and has a naps.

Thank goodness she’s old!

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect and I’m in LOVE.

This guy came on TV yesterday and I swooned! Clean passed out with passion!

He is gorgeous and he’s a really great singer.

I’m afraid that Remington and PJ and Eddie have no chance with me now I’ve got a crush on a crooner.

He’s sort of like a latin Michael Bubble so he’s hotter and less fizzy. Sorta like tequila!.

Precious Peeps It’s Pits. Oh how I love Sunday when Dad is home. Apart from a quick trot after brekkie I spent the whole day with him.

We just snuggled up and avoided the ancient Grumpies.

We slept and then played X-Box and then slept some more.

It was five o’clock when we surfaced.

All this rest restores energy and Dad loves to work out a little when he’s feeling good.

He loves to use me to do some muscle maintenance. Says I’m heavier than the tires he has to lift at work.

We see how high he can hold me.

Of course the stinking Gizz gets green with envy and protests until he too get a go.

It’s great fun but like a home style roller coaster. Shame I have to wait another whole five days till his next day off.

Our house is like a zoo. Of course you know that already.

We had a newcomer yesterday that Uncle Sandy has identified as a Coopers Hawk.

It’s a real poser sat there on the summit of the eaves for ten minutes while Ma snapped away.

It blended in perfectly with the brick and was kinda fluffy.

Other critters are designed to blend in too except they are so audacious they just stand smack bang in the middle of your driveway eating crab apples.

I’m taking about Bambi’s bunch. Five of them waiting for me this morning.

When they eventually took off one took a tumble on our neighbors black top but like the old girl herself it got up and got on.

If you’ve never seen a deer skid it’s really very much like a cartoon. They are all legs and the legs go in all different directions. Very insightful for those who might wear stilettos.

Precious Peeps it’s Pits Perfect! So that stinker thinks I should eat less fiber. What does he know about the diet of Princesses?

Do you think the PoW is that shape by eating kibbles? I have it on good authority that she’s a fan of the green stuff too.

Regardless let me tell you I am not immune to a good tuck in on materials of animal origin such as that encountered on our sojourn at the park yesterday morning.

Fabulous Fawn was spotted by my good self and fortunately Auntie Denise captured the critter with her snapper. Great pics dearest!!

The babes Mom was there too keeping watch on the opposite side of our little path.

I did my best to get a bite but Granny and the Gizz were on guard.

See the tension on that leash and Granny groaning!!! She’s always giving off is Gran!

Next time it won’t hold!! I’m going to get a critter and eat a very great meat feast!!!

The BEAST is thick! In both the head and the mid section.

No matter how often I tell her to lay off the fiber she continue to chow down.

The consequences are horrendous.

See she ferments and farts and for fair fellows such as Father and me her outputs can be overwhelming.

Greenhouse gas emissions have exponentially expanded in our environment.

Can someone please eradicate her or tell the bro to buy bigger poop bags.

In my quest to become the leader of the free world I have been intensively investigating the wisdom of my predecessors. Man it’s tough going. Totally exhausting and mind blowing.

Prone as I am to the odd snooze I found this quote to be of particular value.

When in doubt, particularly when trying to impress, don’t be blunt be gloriously garrulous!

Last night Ma made Chicken Pot Pie. It was ready at six. She was proud of it! At eight the bro was still not home.

She was sending him missile tests. Where the $&?? are you. This dinner is ruined. He said he was still at work. She returned that she didn’t believe him so he sent her photos and on and on it went. She suspected he was sweet talking some gal!!

Well he eventually landed in loaded with Trader Joe’s goodies. Ma had asked him to stop by there and pick up the meringues she needs for her Gluten Free peeps.

He got some for us too even I can eat them and he got these yummy chocolate chip dunkers.

Once Ma ate three of these she was sweetened up and we all agreed the bro is a great shopper.

We should send him for the weekly groceries too we’d be living like Kings and Ma wouldn’t be nearly as nasty.
