Bowser here ...

WHY do I keep gettin the Short Sticks to match my short legs?

It's rainin this mornin when we go fur the Outie ...
So - WHO getz tied wiffa front porch Tether - yup - ME.
And WHO getz told ta "Stick Close" and sent out loose - yup - ole Klipp & Klopp!

No sooner is da door closed than they lookit each udder an *DASH* off towards
the Deer Deli across da road inna Woods! ... HEY - Bring me back a take-out order!

They must be physic - onna way back when New Dad pops open the door an
"wunderz" where they are ...
He only sees em appear down by da road - NOT across ta road comin out of the Deli.
They onlee got *hollered at* a lil bit.

"So - where's my Take-Out Order, guys?"
"Oopsie - we musta furgot ta order fur ya Bowz ... so sorrie!"
"NUTZ!"

The Dad Guy was a lil *tense* over findin Dumm & Dummer down by da road -
so ebberbuddie crowded inna puter room ta try to warm up da ole Guy.
All wuz phine till ...

"*pfffft!*" (frum under the puter desk - where SmokeMutt wuz layin!)

Dad: "WHAT was THAT!??

Dead Silence from the assembled FurKids ...

Cinder: "OMG! Does that STINK! --- SmokeMutt - WHAT did you eat!?"
Bowz: "Gud Grief! I'm goin out inna hallway where da air's better!"

SmokeMutt: "wow! Makes yur eyes watter, duzint it!? Musta been da Deer Fritters frum the Deli!
<gasp> Wunder if Dad will notice?"

A Moment Later ...

"OMG! - WHO made the Dog Phart!!??
--- Ewwww - SMOKEEEEE - You **STINK**!"

Smokey: "I guess he noticed."

After da next "pfffft!" da SmokeMutt got banished to the dining room ...

KAT vacated the dining room table shortly thereafter -
and gave a Durty Glare at Dad when da Kat fled into da bunkroom!

Eee-Yiipes! - He's been "*pfffft-ing*" ALL afternoon ... nebber knew he
could store THAT much <gas>!

<Memo to Self> Avoid the Deer Fritters!
