The
Party at Desley’s House
Background
information: Desley, Australian Scotty
Mum, is off on holiday for the next several days. Des "thinks" her
precious Bonnie was dropped off at relative’s house to play with her cousin
dogs until Mum returns. Bonnie has other ideas.
WELL….in
Texas, Fiona, being as young as she is, doesn't yet understand when she’s
"telling" Annie, her Scotty Mum, something….after all, she and Mum
talk about everything! It seems Bonnie will be slipping back home tomorrow and
has called to invite all the fur-babies to a party …. at Des’ house.
Annie
watches as Fiona, Sawney, Molly, & Gus pack toys, kibble, and treats for
their trip.
So,
Scotty Mums and Dads….do you know where your fur-children are tonight?
Archie,
Peanut and Whiskey are on a flight already. Gordon and Madge will be boarding a
plane soon. What in the world is going to happen now?
Mums
the word with the Nefarious Feline Prime, Oreo—she’s been called out on a
highly secretive mission. NF Commander Raisin is ferrying Oreo to the drop
point via the Baby Hornet—a favorite, high speed mode of transport. (Well, guess
we know where she’s headed – with all the Royal Activity, she’s probably
assisting with security. It’s certain Queen Madge will be in attendance, along with
all her important dignitaries.)
Yes,
Security—Oreo and her team will be running perimeter surveillance – no worries!
The pups have promised to keep the party to a low roar. Oreo will provide her
standard de-briefing for everyone upon return. No worries! She knows which side
her bread is buttered on. However, she and Commander Raisin MAY indulge in an
adult beverage – post party with the hosts. (Why is there a sinking feeling Auntie
Veronica may be Involved with the adult beverage aspect?)
Archie,
Whiskey, & Peanut are now at the Charles de Gaulle airport. During this
stop over in France and before boarding for the next leg of the trip, Archie
has to get the very long list of goodies Gordon asked him to bring! They're so
excited to soon see their friends again...
Gwyn, Rebus, Café, and
Latte have met up at LAX. Their flight is being announced when Gwyn says,
"Oh, wait! Don't let the plane take off! I have to get a list of goodies
for Gordon!" Café laughs, "Oh, so he called you too?! I'll go with
you.” "Hold the plane!” the others shout!
McKeeghan
is pretty excited--she's been practicing her dance moves! Can't wait to get
there and no, she’s not bringing a cake. "Watch me whip! Watch me whip! See
me nae-nae!”
Gus,
being the mature responsible one, calls his Momma, Annie, from the San
Francisco airport during their layover. "Hey, Momma! I just overheard
Molly and Jock talking and I guess Auntie Veronica has hired some poodle
strippers for the party! It has to be poodles because Scotties and Westies are
too dignified to even consider it. Anyway, I heard she’s even had a pole installed
in Auntie Desley's front room for them too! They said something about us
tearing the roof off the place with our party. You know Momma, I'm a little
worried. I don't want an international mug shot—having a mug shot in the US is
embarrassing enough! You remember that time me, my sisters, and cousins all got
arrested down in Houston for driving an illegal vehicle? Yeah, on our way to
the Garth Brooks concert! You were so mad when you had to come bail us out.
Oops, gotta run, Momma! They’re calling our flight!" Gus ends the call and
dashes over to join the others.
"B-b-b-but
Gus, but-but Gus!" Annie sputters—only to hear ‘click’.
(Hmmm…international
mug shot …. poodle strippers …. memories surface of a recent de-briefing.)
Oh,
oh! I bet those poodle strippers are the same ones performing at the Come & Get It Kitty Club! They do put
on quite a show--per Oreo! She was on a mission. There was a Great Dane, a
harlequin I believe, named Lillian – she was elderly with a big plume in her
fascinator that caught on everything as she walked around as the Cigarette Girl
-- "Candy, Cigarettes?"
But
actually, it was "Cigarettes, Candy, Condoms.” It was a cathouse, after
all! Part of Oreo’s mission was to meet with a mole from Russia – Vladi~Cat,
and it was his place of business. Lillian was a plant to gain Intel.)
Auntie
Elaine’s eyebrows shoot up toward the ceiling, “McKeeghan, darlin'--this is
your Mommy speaking! I'm sending the family chopper to pick you up at the
airport in Brisvegas! Code Phrase: ‘Mommy is a Prude’!
Yes,
Sweetheart, I know you were all excited about the big party, but Mommy knows
best, baby. We'll go find a good Agility Event when you get back.”
(Ok
Mums and Dads--my McKeeghan is a bit young for this event. What are you thinking?
Are you going to bring in the German Shepherd Male Dancers too?! And Gordon,
even though I can't see you at the moment--Get that cigar bone out of your
mouth! Seriously folks?!)
Another
Mum chimes in, “Oh no, now I'm getting worried! I didn't know OZ had a
Wallabies Mafia issue?! Fiona Paisley just called. She and Bonnie tried to
greet a large group of Wallabies that showed up to the party! Being young and
naive, Bonnie and Fiona ran over to one of them and were handed carnations … and
were told they had very limited time left!
Then
Wilma Wallaby kicked Fiona, and Walter Wallaby punched Bonnie in the shoulder! The
Wallabies said they were taking over the bash!.... WHERE THE HECK IS AUNTIE Veronica?!
Auntie
Veronica, "Sorry--what? Music too loud!"
Hey,
just heard from Oreo. Commander Raisin dropped her off and she repelled in to take
a look around. She said it is wild and the Scotties are enjoying it all but no
one is out of hand. The Ozzie Police showed up, but only to escort one of the
Tea Cup French Poodle stripper's and one of the German shepherd male exotic
dancers out. Apparently, they forgot where they were and were pretending the party
was a re-enactment of Tailhook in Vegas.
The
call got real staticky and all I could make out was shearing – razor – exotic.
Then the line went dead. Commander Raisin was providing back up so hopefully he
will check in soon with his handler.
Auntie
Veronica, "Still can't hear you! Hey, you want some fries with that shake?
Sorry guys, conga line starting around the pool. Follow me! Talk soon!”
"Da
da da da da da, do the bunny hop, hop! hop! hop!”
As
you said before, Annie, 'we couldn't make this stuff up even sitting at a bar
stone drunk!’
Fiona
called again crying – they have officially lost control. Apolo, Gerald, & Café
are on the roof jumping off into an inflatable pool someone bought. Ivy &
Jolie have become pool sharks and are taking everyone's $$ (including the
Mafia's which can only end badly). And Blossom & Latte are being starred at
by a couple of German Shepherds!
Auntie
Elaine, where is the helicopter you sent? Can we get them all home?
OMG!
Just heard from Sawney that someone set Desley’s sofa on fire!
Thankfully
they were able to push it outside!
Auntie
Veronica is dancing the Congo line around it, and Bonnie, Onie-P, Latte, and Jolie
are roasting marshmallows over it!
Auntie
Veronica, "Oops, sorry officer, what can I do for you?”
He
responds, “Turn the music down, Ma’am. There's been a report of loud music and
a party going on until all hours.”
“Really?
Not here! I'm just sitting a few dogs for some friends – nothing to see here.
We’re all just sitting here, watching the Hawthorn Hawks. No drama here,
officer!"
Where
oh where is Auntie Desley when we need her????
“Dang,
who would have thought we'd ever be looking to Des to be the responsible one???”
Meanwhile
Auntie Elaine goes into action, "When I got Andrea Cook's message, I
radioed the chopper pilot and told him he would be doing a mass pick up of
Scotties and associates--not just McKeeghan. The pilot said ‘impossible, he
only had the one harness.’ I told him ‘not a problem--have the co-pilot break
open the boxes of T-shirts we were going to deliver to the Zebra Zeprize Fundraiser.
Take the T's and tie the bottom into a tight knot. Run cable thru both arms of
the t-shirt and twist into a hook. Since we only have one cable, we'll hook the
T's every two feet.”
“Ok
everybody--we're going in hot – 30 seconds in/out!
Commander
Raisin, get that Congo line going again. We'll drag the cable with the T's
along-side the Congo line against the direction of movement!
Commander,
have each Scottie shimmy into one of the T-shirts through the neck!
30
seconds in/out--make it happen, people ... because those T-shirts, they're
screen printed with "Wallabies are Walruses"!"
One
question.... what are we going to do with Auntie Veronica?
"Drat.
Have the felines grab her at the last minute. Let her wash the chopper dishes."
Are
there any other humans there? Did anybody warn Des about the Wallabies?
No,
Auntie Desley is still on holiday with no Internet access. But I bet Oreo could
get a message to her. Bonnie will have to stay with me until Des gets home.
While
Desley is napping on the beach, a man in an overcoat comes along. “Yikes!” I
thought , “I'm gonna be flashed! It's been a while…” But he said he was CIA.
Oreo's underling. And what do I know about a disturbance back at my place? “What?
There's no one at my place, except for the worker. No, no dogs or cats. Maybe
that pesky bush turkey has taken advantage of Bonnie's absence? WHAT! Rampant
wallabies? Pole dancing poodles? Is Bonnie OK? WHAT? She’s the ringleader...!?”
Sir
Puss in Boots to the rescue! He had connections that allowed Agent O access to skirt
the perimeter ~ Desley, it appears your place is fine – just a few skinny
dippers in the pool. May want to change the water -- looks like the stripper poodles
and those shepherds decided to get frisky.
Radio
announcement -- “Brisbane airport was closed today due to the activities of a
rogue helicopter. Instead of spraying the wetlands for mosquitoes like the city
council had asked, the helicopter pilot slung a great chain of crochet out the
door and collected a string of wayward cats and Scotties. While traffic on the
freeway came to a halt because of rubber-neckers, a gang of walrus looking
wallabies were seen chasing the "chain". Many drivers commented on
hearing the Scotties cheekily yelling out "ya tails are too skinny!"
"Can't get us now! Ha ha ha!!"
But
then the shirts started to tear....
