Dis Peter – we pinned a note wiff de maff calculashions from Professor Whooot to a sock and put it in de Fluffy Cycle Ride. It disappeared! Den dere was a big noise and a pop and a zing and it worked: Dougie appeared! But den dere was an eben bigger noise and den someone else, holding tight to a bunch of single sox, appeared. He and Dougie climbed out and he looked a little bit discombobulated. We fink he’s from Marty Mouse House. Dougie is busy calming him down and den we’ll go introduce ourselves to him. We’re so relieved dat Dougie is okay!
Reuben and Dougie had lots ob fun together and really enjoying getting to know each other, but as it turns out, Dougie has a family that is waiting and worried about him ober at A Mouse Named Peter, so Reuben decided he would help get him back to the dryer he came from fru the time trabel tunnel wiff an assist from some trabel juice. Dougie is about to attempt the return. The boys will take him to the mid point and then he is on his own for what should be a safe and quick trip home! Of course Dougie has an officshul inbitatshun to come back any time and bisit, and bring his friends! See you soon Dougie!!
The picks are in! Our bedtime buddies selectshuns hab been made, and the winners are… (we’ll let the boys tell you)
Reuben: “Dis is Dougie, and we share lots ob interests like reading under the cobers and doing time and space trabel. He is also berry good at telling bedtime stories. Last night he told me all about dis other world where he habs all these friends, mice, cows and bunnies and he hatched an egg one time, and got his tongue stuck to a flag pole in the winter. I don’t know where he comes up wiff dis stuff, he’s great!”
Baxter: “Some people fink I’m too big for a bedtime buddy, but remember I’m the youngest one and I need snuggles too. Dis my buddy Roger, he’s a snuffelphant”
Waffles: “Dis is Kanu, he is a sea urchin, and we are a perfect match because I like to talk alot, and he doesn’t hab any ears but he can read my lips so we still communicate, but I won’t keep him up at night. He habs a great sense ob humor.”
Fish: “I picked Wally cause he looks like me and we both like ballet.”
Barry: “I picked the Fish called Frank. He smells a little bad, but he’s berry kind and we both lub listening to music to help us fall asleep.”
And don’t worry, we aren’t putting any ob the other buddies in the wood chipper or anyfing, they will all be here to cuddle be lubbed on foreber and eber.
Good night eberybody – sweet dreams!!
