DEAR DIARY...

I SCURRIED FROM THE ROOM OF THE BEAST AS QUICKLY AS I COULD AND SUDDENLY FOUND SHELTER IN A MOST MAGICAL PLACE...

A MAGICAL PLACE WHERE 'COUNT DOGULA' OVER THERE, CAN GO FETCH A STICK!

"HEY KACI! GUESS WHO JUST BECAME THE PALACE LAP DOOOOOOOG?

HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW, YOU LITTLE BUG-EYED FLOOR PUPPY YOU!?

I MIGHT EVEN HAVE MY MEALS BROUGHT TO ME HERE!...YA RAG-DOG!

NO ADIOS PERRITO'S TODAY...AMIGO!

TALK ABOUT A DOG EAT DOG WORLD!

I KNEW, IN LESS TIME THAN IT WOULD TAKE KACI TO DIGEST... LET'S SAY, A NINE POUND SALMON, WITH BONES...4 CORNISH HENS AND MAYBE A SMALL MANATEE...
I WILL HAVE ALREADY ESTABLISHED A NETWORK OF THESE MAGICAL SAFE ZONES ALL THROUGHOUT THE KINGDOM!

  I WILL HAVE THEM HERE! 

AND HERE!

  

     AND HERE! 

 

 AND HERE AS WELL!

          AND THAT ...MY SHEDLESS FRIENDS...IS PROBLEM SOLVING-101!

              (THIS IS ME, TEACHING MYSELF HOW TO SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN)...

                                                     PRETTY GOOD RIGHT?

(I'D SLEEP WITH BOTH EYES OPEN, WHILE HANGING UPSIDE DOWN FROM THE RAFTERS IN THE ATTIC, IF IT WOULD KEEP THAT RABID, DINGO-EATING JACKAL AWAY FROM ME FOR FIVE MINUTES!)

I JUST REALIZED SOMETHING?

BETWEEN THE INSANITY OF THAT UNEXPECTED BREAKFAST 'LIGHTENING ROUND'  WAKE-UP CALL, I BARELY SURVIVED, AND BEING WHISKED OFF TO THE VET LIKE I WAS CODE BLUE OR SOMETHING...AND, (AS IF THAT'S NOT ENOUGH)...THAT MOST UNFORTUNATE ENCOUNTER WITH THAT WRETCHED LITTLE RACCOON-FACED CROCODILE LURKING AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE..THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE QUITE THE LITTLE ADVENTURE WE'VE GOT GOING ON UP IN HERE!

LET ME GO SEE WHERE 'YOU KNOW WHO IS'....AND IF THE COAST IS CLEAR, I'LL TAKE YOU ON A LITTLE TOUR OF MY SLEEPING CHAMBERS IN THE NORTH TOWER. (I'LL BE
RIIIIGHT BACK!)

                "THE HOT DOG IS IN THE BUN Y'ALL! THE HOT DOG...IS IN THE BUN!"
