Funny sign I saw in the park the other day..

Midnight. The pier.

H-hey, e-everybody...this is Patch.  Uh, just to recap...Last episode, Droopy mysteriously disappeared.  His boonie hat was left behind, which was the first sign that something was wrong...

And then we found a ransom note.  

It's now midnight.  Spunky, Grandpa, and I are at the fishing pier, and we've brought the ransom, just as the dognapper demanded:  100 bottles of honey. 

Oh man...I don't like this.  It's dark and creepy.

Thank goodness you brought the flashlight, Grandpa.  And thank goodness I'm not here all by myself.   


"So...what do we do now?" Spunky asked.


"All we can do is wait," Grandpa said.  

So we settled in to wait.

And then we waited some more.

Man.  Nothing is happening.  *yawn*  And it's waaaaaay past bedtime...

"Hey!"  Spunky exclaimed.  "Do you hear that?  Somebody's coming!"

You're right!  Someone's approaching!  

"It must be the dognapper," Grandpa said gravely.  "Who else would be out here this late?"

O-oh b-boy.  We're going to come face to face with the dognapper.  That dastardly, evil, rotten...

....Huh???
 
"I see you have met my demands," the dognapper said.  "Well done.  Here is the hostage.  You will find he's unharmed."

"Farewell," said the dognapper, as he left with the ransom.  
 


DROOPY!  Are you okay?  

"Hurry, let's untie him, lads," Grandpa urged.

"Whew!" Droopy gasped.  "I wasn't sure I'd see you guys again."

Droopy looks a little shaken up, but otherwise he seems okay.  

"Are you all right, laddie?" Grandpa pressed.

"I think so," Droopy replied.  "Did you guys get a look at the villain?  I was blindfolded the whole time."

We saw him, all right.  At first I thought it was Ajdin, but then I saw he was wearing a mask.  I should have known, because Ajdin is our friend and would never, never, NEVER dognap Droopy.  That's just a ridiculous thought.


"Here, Droop," Spunky offered.  "I brought your hat."

Ah, yes.  That's what we needed for things to get back to normal. 

"All's well that ends well," Grandpa said.  "Now let's go home and rest."

Yeah.  That's a *yawn* great idea.  I'm so glad everything turned out okay.  Although I can't help but wonder...have we seen the last of this dastardly villain?...

 

A disturbing development

Hello, everyone...Spunky here.  Ummm...has anyone seen Droopy?  

No?  Huh.  It's time to do this week's blog, but I haven't seen him yet today. 

It's not like him to be late.  He's always very punctual.  In fact, you might even call him a watchdog. 

Heh heh.  Get it?  "Watch"dog? 

**crickets chirping in the silence**

Err...never mind.  Sigh...I don't understand.  Whenever Droopy does that joke, everybody loves it.


Anyway...maybe Droopy's alarm didn't go off?  Or maybe he slept in on purpose?  Let's check his bed and see.... 

Nope, no sign of Droopy.  But...there's his boonie hat. 

Now I'm actually starting to worry. Droopy's really attached to his hat.  He rarely leaves it behind, even on a hot summer day.

And underneath the hat...what's this?  It's a note.  I don't recognize the handwriting.  Let's see what it says...

...Oh my gosh.  Oh, no!

PATCH!  PATCH, COME HERE QUICK!

 

Patch came running.  

"W-w-what?" he panted.  "I heard you shouting, Spunky...what's wrong?" 

Read this note!

Patch read the note out loud:

"IF YOU WANT TO SEE DROOPY AGAIN,

BRING 100 BOTTLES OF HONEY 

TO THE FISHING PIER

AT MIDNIGHT.

DO NOT BEEEEEE LATE!"

Oh horrors!  It's a ransom note!  Droopy's been dog-napped!  

What are we going to do??...
