CARE TO JOIN US FOR LUNCH?

WELL....IT'S NOT VERY OFTEN, THAT I FIND MYSELF ON THE WRONG END OF A GOOD PRANK, BUT I GOTTA ADMIT, THAT 4 PACK OF MISFITS PULLED OFF A PRETTY GOOD ONE ON ME THERE!

I SPENT THE BETTER PART OF THE DAY SNIFFING MYSELF FROM HEAD TO TOE!

I EVEN WENT IN TO DEES' OFFICE AND SAT ON HER LAP, SO SHE COULD SMELL ME AND GIVE ME A PRETTY GIRL BATH IN THE SINK!'

NO REACTION WHAT-SO-EVER Y'ALL!

BUT THAT'S OKAY!  SHE'S A HUMAN!
SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE KEEN SENSE OF SMELL DOGS LIKE US HAVE!

 WHY, MOST DOGS CAN SMELL A FART YOU LET LOOSE INTO THE PATH OF AN ON-COMING TORNADO IN THE BACK YARD A WEEK AGO!
SO BELIEVE ME...
WHEN 4 DOGS ARE TELLING YOU, YOU STINK...
IT'S A PRETTY GOOD BET...THERE'S SOME SERIOUS STANK GOIN ON,
AND YOU CAN BELIEVE THAT!

I DID....

I WAS UP IN DEE'S LAP FOR TWENTY MINUTES,
 SNIFFING EVERY INCH OF MY LITTLE BODY OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

(I EVEN BEGAN TO QUESTION MY OWN KEEN SENSE OF SMELL!)

 I WAS SNIFFING SO HARD, YOU'DA THOUGHT I WAS HOT ON THE TRAIL;
 AND ABOUT TO CLOSE IN ON MY INNER SELF!

I WAS SNIFFING MY PITS...

AND TRYING NOT TO LET MY NOSE DRY OUT...

AND FUSSING AND FIDGETING AROUND FOR SO LONG,
 DEE FINALLY SET ME BACK DOWN ON THE FLOOR...

SO YEAH! THEY GOT ME GOOD PRETTY THERE Y'ALL!

 WHEN I GOT BACK OUT TO THE DINING ROOM AREA,
MERLIN, TIKA,AND KACI, LOOKED LIKE WERE ALL UP TO SOME KINDA NO GOOD!
 THEY WAS JUSTA LICKING THEIR LIPS, AND CARRYING ON
LIKE THE FOX THAT BEAT YOU TO THE HEN HOUSE AGAIN!

ALL THE SUDDEN...I KNEW WHY...

IT SEEMS THE BIG GUY SET HIS SANDWICH DOWN ON THE TABLE,
 TO ANSWER THE PHONE...AND WHEN HE TURNED AROUND TO GET IT....

LIKE MAGIC! THE SANDWICH...JUST DISAPPEARED!

TAKING KACI'S WORLD RENOWNED APPETITE INTO CONSIDERATION,
THE BIG GUY BEGAN QUESTIONING HER FIRST!

"KACI! DID YOU EAT DADDY'S SANDWICH?"

KACI:
"HEY...WHEN DID WE GET THIS RUG?"

THE BIG GUY:
KACI! KACI!
 LOOK AT ME KACI!

DID YOU EAT MY SANDWICH?
STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE AND LET ME SEE IF YOU HAVE CRUMMIES ON IT?

OKAY....YOU'RE CLEAN...

WHAT ABOUT YOU MERLIN?
 DID YOU SEE WHO ATE MY SANDWICH?

 YOU THINK MAYBE IT WAS DITZY! YEAH?
SHOULD I MAKE HER OPEN HER MOUTH AND STICK OUT HER TONGUE TOO?
OKAY I WILL..
.
SAY AHHH, DITZY GIRL!

!

"AHHHHHHHHHHH"

GOOD GIRL DITZ!
.(I KNOW YOU DIDN'T TAKE DADDY'S SANDWICH OFF THE TABLE...
YOU'RE TOO SHORT!)"

"FOR A COFFEE TABLE?
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
I'M TOO SHORT FOR A COFFEE TABLE?!"

I WONDER IF HE THINKS RESCUED SOME KIND OF FREAK, OVER-SIZED,
FERREL GERBIL/HAMSTER MIX OR SOMETHING?

WELL....I MIGHT BE SHORT..
BUT I STILL GOT CUTE WORKIN FOR ME!

BESIDES...YOU WOULD THINK A BIG, TALL GUY LIKE YOU,
(AFTER 15 YEARS OF NON-STOP RESCUES AND ADOPTIONS),
  WOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO FIND A TALLER TABLE
TO PUT YER FOOD ON, IN THE FIRST PLACE!
I'M JUST SAYIN!

IF YOU'RE GONNA SET YOUR LUNCH DOWN ON A TABLE,
IN FRONT MULTIPLE DROOLING DOGS IN WAITING, LIKE YOU'RE SERVING UP SOME KIND OF PLATE OF TREATS FOR THEM TO FROLIC IN...AND THEN WALK AWAY...

(I MEAN...OTHER THAN CHEWING THE SANDWICH  UP FOR THE CULPRIT'S,
( LIKE BIRDS DO).
COULD YOU HAVE MADE IT ANY EASIER FOR 'EM?)

 (I GUESS I'M JUST NOT GETTING THE WHOLE LOOK OF UTTER SURPRISE,
I'M SEEING IN THE BIG GUY'S FACE RIGHT NOW?)

"THAT LEAVES YOU AND TIKA!" THE BIG GUY TOLD MERLIN...

"TIKA?
DID YOU HAVE ANY PART OF THIS?" THE BIG GUY ASKED...

COME UP HERE AND STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE LIKE THE OTHERS HAD TO...

HMMMM. NOPE, NO CRUMMIES! GOOD GIRL!

"OH...I DON'T KNOW MR. MERLIN"....THE BIG GUY SAID...
"IT'S NOT LOOKING REAL GOOD FOR THE HOME TEAM PAL!

GO ON...STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE BUDDY!

OH, YOU GOTTA DO BETTER THAN THAT MERLIN BOY!

THERE WE GO...THAT'S BETTER!

NOPE! NO CRUMMIES ON YOUR TONGUE EITHER MERLIN!
HMMMM..I GUESS WILL NEVER KNOW WILL WE GUYS?

AFTER THE BIG GUY LEFT THE ROOM,
I CALLED MERLIN OVER AND LET HIM IN ON A LITTLE SECRET....

"HEY MERLIN" I SAID, "I'VE GOT THE BIG GUY'S SANDWICH HIDDEN LESS THAN A FOOT FROM WHERE HE LEFT IT ON THE TABLE! YOU WANNA COME HELP ME EAT IT?
 I KNEW THERE WASN'T GONNA TIME TO EAT IT WHEN I SNATCHED IT...
BUT WE SURE GOT TIME TO EAT IT NOW! DON'T WE BOY?

DID THE BIG GUY REALLY THINK I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE CRUMMIES?

WE'LL SEE YA NEXT TIME FRIENDS...
