Ha, ha, ha–soccer tarte, get it? (I didn’t, but what the heck.)
Well, that’s what mama is calling herself, but not exactly a tarte in the sense of, you know, a tarte, but in the sense that it makes for a good pun. And mama loves puns. Just get around her and anyone else making a pun and the duel can go on for hours. Long, boring hours…
But back to being a tarte. What is happening here is that papa is watching ALL of the matches of the European Cup, come hell or high water, which is like the World Cup except for Europe and so it’s pretty important and France has won their match so far and so are still in and now we are rapt as Germany plays Slovakia and papa always takes the side of the weaker team, which is very good of him, and sometimes the weaker team surprises us all by winning.
But am I boring you? Uh, oh, Germany just scored again, 2-0, and papa is looking dejected, plus we are fans of Italy and if Italy wins tomorrow night it is very possible that we would have to play Germany and oh, boy, that’s not a team you want to face!
Meanwhile, back at the IPad (we have no wifi but mama’s IPad works great for me and is small for my small paws, a perfect match), one that has a KEYBOARD and is wonderful to use, I work away on my blogs while mama wanders in and out of the games and wonders if she is ever going to get a pizza tonight because she, as usual, like me, is starving for dinner.
Maybe they’ll bring me a pizza, too. With anchovies.
And maybe a little plate of beans and tuna on the side…
I am slurping into my IPad, so I’d better stop.
Hey, you guys, get back on that pizza!
Well, I think my mom is more like a pop tarte. But she’s working on her cooking skills………………Lucky YOU – pizza and anchovies!!! I’m going to have to be more french and go on strike. Anchovies with my kibbles – or ELSE. Going to have to work on what “else” will be…………. XXX
We’ll take the anchovies without the pizza, Loulou. 🙂
I hope you and your Mama got your pizza.
A pun war hey LouLou? MOL We didn’t get da tarte comment either, but we’s never watched soccer either. MOL We’s a house full of gitlies, so no sports here. When mommy was young, she played tennis, but never wanted to watch it bein’ played, so…Anyways, Pizza!!! Me luvs a good pepperoni pizza. And you know what? Me hasn’t had one in a long time. Me thinks it was me’s birthday dat was da last time. Hmmf, dat’s just not right. Not right at all. Hope you got your pizza and enjoyed every bite.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
Well, mama would send you one except I think it might suffer in transit. Still, just imagine eating a nice slice and you might actually taste a little something. The imagination is a powerful tool!
My Gosh, Loulou, you could be living here, or we could be living by you ! It’s the same here : Italy just won versus Spain today, and Momo was yelling like a crazy because he was so happy… He’s watching all the matches, while Claire is reading or working on the computer for us : she doesn’t care about soccer at all !

Well, I am watching Iceland and England now after having seen our beloved Italy win over Spain! YAY. The Spanish were a bit wicked, I thought, putting cleats in legs and feet and getting no red cards for it but what the heck. It was a beautiful game all around. And hard for mama and papa because they also root for Spain when in France. I know that’s confusing but they root for Spain and France but LOVE Italy more. So here we are, soccer tartes together, mama and I.
