Gorgeous Sailboat

Andrea C
There was once a gorgeous sailboat crossing the Atlantic with Lenora PM, Nancy JM, Luz LA, Paola B and Desley C on board.
All the dogs and one super cat named Oreo were down below playing cards and pool while their humans were up top center; all the dogs that is except Gordon. Poor Gordon was suffering from seasickness and was lying flat up top with his head hanging over the side doing...."you know". Each and every person, feline, and dog (except Gordon) were truly enjoying the day.
All were drinking, eating and having a grand time that none of them notice the iceberg. It was heading their way. (Sunning and icebergs? Oh well, it’s my story.)
Finally when the iceberg was about a half a mile away, Archie noticed it and started to aroo—which of course started all the other dogs’ arooing. Oreo, the wonder cat, couldn't be bothered with making all that noise; felt it was very undignified. Just when the dogs started to make noise Luz looked out and saw the iceberg… Oh dear whatever should we do?

Paola B
Everybody gathers at the front of the boat trying to figure out the next move while poor Gordon has his head still dangling out! Something catches his eye! A shimmering stick floating! He stretches his paw and grabs it! Hurray; it's a magic stick! Pouf it goes and here they all are again in a huge plain wondering where the heck they are....they walk up to a sign and read: Lone Pine Koala sanctuary!!!
“Whaaat?!” screams Bonnie, “we're back in Brisbane.....”

Andrea C
“Mum, Mum, Mum!” howls Bonnie at which Des staggers from behind the group…"Gitday Gitday, Mum's right here luv". Bonnie ran and jumped into Des arms smothering her face with kisses. "I was so afraid, Mum, that we had left you on the boat! How did we end up back in Oz, Mum?" she cried.
Just then they all walked up on a restaurant called the Do Wop Oz and all the dogs started to arooooo which meant "we are hungry and want food now". But just as everyone started to walk into the door of the restaurant they were blocked by five German Shepherds baring their teeth.....

Lenora PM
Archie, my love, you need to get back on the boat! We don't want any more encounters where you have to protect mommy and Peanut from a vicious dog.

Desley C
"Aw, don't be scared of them!" says a very relaxed Bonnie "they're me mates!"
The five German Shepherds and Bonnie all high five.
Gordon is raising his hackles—ready for a show down.
One of the GS's reaches into his collar and pulls out a bottle. "Here ya go mate, have a beer!"
Gordon looks around anxiously "What if mum sees? No, you're right, she's way over there yakking to all the other ladies. Come & I'll introduce you guys to Wacka, our kangaroo mate. She'll give you a ride in her pouch."
