Here'z da new short version:

Almost an **Oopsie** this mornin ~
We wuz <sleepin in> accounta Dad feelin poorley - jest layin inna BigBed
watchi the newz when we mentioned dat da Bowser Boy mite 'preciate
a lil kumpanie, it bein a bit "late" inna morning...

"OMG!" sez Dad. - Fliez down an <springz> da BB outta hiz 'partment...
We hear da Boy klimbing uppa stairz -
<KLUMPITY> < THUMP> <BUMP> = HI, GUYZ!!

BIG Kluster atta frunt door -
Dad tryin ta get a "volunteer" ta eskort da Bowz;
Bowser <bouncin> round like Krazzie Dawg...
Bowz makes a <pass> thru da livin room an
Liftz a Leg az he passes kliner chair #2!

Ole Eagle Eye Dad <spotz> da <pauze in progress> an
hollerz a BIG **NO**!!

Gotta gib da Kid credit - he dropped dat leg *lickity-split* an <dashed>
rite ober to Dad (wiff DINNER-plate sized eyeballz)!!
Dad quit <skrewin around> an hooked Bowz up to da cable tie an then
<yanked > da door open...
Big SHOVE an all three of us was out onna veranda!
(So much fur "RING da Bell onna door knobby" praktiss!)

Dad sed he *checked* while we wuz "out" - NUFFIN <spilt> onna chair!!

Nunbuddie <memburz> HOW we wasted da resta the day??
Dad made sum "kallz" onna tele-dinger;
then sed - We better get sum Storm Suppliez laid in...

He thunk it 'best' iffn Bowzie hung around inna 'partment guardin da Howze
stedda sittin wiff us inna Traktor Kar atta storez...
He ackted like he <missed> us when we gotz back!

Almost furgotz ~
Bowzie been "takin hiz mealz" UPPYstairz wiff us stedda down in hiz 'partment!
Hiz bowl sitz in "neut-rul territorie" asside Kliner Chair #2...
(Smoke haz alluz <munched hiz Krunch> rite in frunta Dad'z feetz inna livin room
account he uzed ta <GOBBEL> so fast Dad hadda slow him down;
*I* eatz inna Kitchen outta a split wadder/krunch bowl.)

Bowser Boy uzed to hafta 'get inna mood' ta eat by Dad hand-feedin him a few
pieces. An iffin
wunna us Big Dawgz ebber got too klose, he QUIT eatin an wouldn't
start up agin.
(Musta come about kuz he uzed ta havta go next door an <mooch> hiz mealz

So here I sit... Typin Dawg Tailz! (an *sneezin*, *snifflin*, an *koffin*)

Klipp & Klopp are curled onna BigBed; KAT is... Where IS the Kat!??
<searches>
OK ~ WHO ate da KAT!??
<searches AGAIN> ... *FOUND* ~
UNDER the BigBed - with an expression of "WHAT do you WANT!!?"
SO SORRIE to have bothered you!
(He DID look pretty *comfy* - all nestled in wiffa Furrie Dust Bunniez!)

Wunder ?? if that's why he alluz looks "DUSTIE" ??
Prolly OTTA rummage around and try to find my Maid's Hat;
then <knock the DUST> offa da Rug Suckker an fill up a few Suckker Bags!
On Second Thought... removing all that Furrie "Insulation" from all the
corners & and under the furniture will prolly <drop> the temp in the Ranch
by 20 degrees!
Yeah... I'll *wait* for Spring!

Almost furgotz...
Bowzie isn't nearly as 'fussie' about ONLY <munchin> on CHAWKLIT treets!
I mistakenly gave him a White/"Nilla" one yesterday...
He took it an went off a few feet (away from the Krowd) to <munch> it...
<SPIT> it out to take a second look and SmokeMutt trotted over to 'help'!
Bowzie looked over his shoulder and decided he didn't NEED any help...
<MUNCH> (gone)
I no longer have to <sort> treets!!

More **Progress**!!

Hope you fell better soon Phred!! The coughing and sniffing and such has been going around work...'tis that time of year

Sounds like Boswer is doing great!! He sure is a quick learner! Any chance we may get to meet the famous guy in February?!?

Stay warm this weekend...and you pups behave!! There is going to be a lot of white stuff this weekend, so don't make your dad chase you 'round too much!! He isn't feeling good!!

[Rachel]

Oh, Phred, we don't like to hear of you feeling punk. Crank open a can of chicken soup and drink your orange juice. Sounds as if Bowser Boy is making good progress on household manners and being cooperative. Seems like he's been spending more and more time with the rest of the crew uppy-stairs. Probably won't be much longer til we hear he's moved out of his apartment completely.

[Lilith Cherry]

Hey there Phred! I hope you are feeling MUCH better! It's miserable being sick.... You pups all be good for him today eh?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

So glad that Bower gets to eat upstairs with the rest of the gang now!

Real sorry about your cold! I've been fighting one for weeks now.
Stay tucked in where it's warm.

Kids be on your best behavior while Dad's feeling punky, OK?

[lizbud]

Phred,

Sorry to hear you're feeling under the weather. I hope
you start to feel better soon. It is really great to read about
Bowser's progress. Let's hope they all stay on their best
behavior while you rest up. They are such sweethearts.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Chill, Dad ...

Wuzzint QUITE enuff snow fur Bowzie to take a no-tie romp

Poor Bowzie started gettin *wurried* when Dad hadda go back
to da garbich kan (Krunch Storage Bukit inna klozit) ta
re-load da servin kup...

Poor lil Bowser ambled inna kitchen ta see if I wunted ta "share"!

Musta raized my voice a lil too much when I tell'd him I dint have

Bowz got HIZ krunch asside da #2 kliner chair wiff Dad givin him
a few piecez inna handpaw to get him started.

Smoke an me finished up an came ober ta "help" Bowser wiff his...
but Dad gib us boff da *DURTY LOOK* an we backed off.

Soon az Bowz finished; we all hadda Big {{{Group HUGG}}}!

Then it wuz "Outie Tyme" an I took Bowzie along like nuffin happened!

We all jest had Din-Din wiffout a problem!!
(Dad wuz a lil *quicker* wiff servin da Bowz;
an had him trott along to da klizit whilst Dad filled
da kup an served into hiz bowl.)

We all told Dad nunna us wuz gonna hold a *grudge*!


----------------------------
PS:

*Runnie* Noze...
He'z NOT a verry Happie Kampur.
We'z gonna da a quickie Outie an put him inna BigBed.

*Niterz*!!

[zippy-kat]

I, too, send my sympathies (and the chicky-noodle soup mom keeps trying to shove down my throat )!

Sounds like Bowser is making wonderful progress! What a good boy!

Edit: Ekk! Fighties are not good ... glad it was settled quickly and without hard feelings.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Even the best of families have squabbles now and then. Glad it's all settled now.

Kids take good care of your Dad and tuck him da big bed all comfy, then be good and let him rest! OK?

[lynnestankard]

Get well wishes flying over for da Bus Driver xxx Take good care Phred - those four furries need their Dad up and well.

I've been snorting and hooting with laughter here - those dawgs sure can tell it like it is!!!

I'm sure Bowzer's settling in really well - he sounds like he's one of the fambly now!!!

Lynne

[slick]

I truly think this deserves Thread of the Year, paws down! Phred, so sorry to hear you are not feeling well but I'm sure the furry onez are nursing you back to health.

Now kids, try to get along!! Daddy's doing his best under the circumstances.

[lbaker]

Me doest thinketh that "Dad" needs a break, some good ol' R&R and some help at the ol' Ranch. Dang, I wish I lived closer Phred Treat yourself the way the kids' Gramma would treat you if she weren't at The Bridge

[gini]

I am sure that if Phred let Bowser outside this morning that he is totally lost in the snow.

Phred, I hope you are taking care of yourself and do feel better soon.

The flu going around is nasty from what I hear. Drags you down for quite a few days.

Please take good care of YOU.

[Corinna]

Hope you are getting better.

Get Well soon o'Bus Driver .............. {{{{hug}}}}
