A Halloweem Storeee by Wascal (Very Long)

Hoomin Note: Wascal dictated most of this story in time for Halloween
but he got caught up in the planning for the events of the past few
days and the events themselves, including his date with the lovely
Piglet, and has just transmitted me the rest of it. I hope you enjoy
it, even though it is belated.

I groo up az a barn cat, wiff lotsa uvver kitties in ourveryown barn.
Wee wuz not glected. Our hoomin Meowmie an her sun Bruce, hoo iss r
Daddy, allas mad sur we saw da TED an dat wee cud sheltr in dahous in
berry bad wevver. And dey petted uz anna talked to uz an gived us
names. An der wuz allus fudz on daporch, aldo wee cots lots uv r own
fudz. Sumtim I will tallk bout wut da oldr kitties teld us bout da
nice cow ladies anna how da spayin an da nooterin ended da barn cat
bidness and how da younger kitties found der truehomes wiff famblies
affur da older wunz went to da Big Barn at da Bridge. An about da
raccooms. But dat willbee for annuver time. I wanna talk bout Konrad,
da bigbig d*g.

Dis cud bee a tribyoot to Konrad anna hee deserfs wun. But ittiz a
storeee too an sum uv it, a widdle bit, izza scary. So ittiz a
Halloweem story.

Konrad wuz a puppy dat my daddy Bruce found in da swamp of Guilfurd,
wer his mommie-doggie anna hiz daddy-doggy wuz livin lik wild animulz.
Dey staid wild butted Daddy brung da puppy hom wen I wuz not even
bornded yet. Anni I groo up wif him allus aroun.

Hee wuz a bibbig brown d*ggie wiff eers dat stuck up wikea big kittys
eers. Daddy useda say dat hee wuz a huskee anna shepperd. But Konrad
tol mee hee wuz a wuf. Anna hee wud not wie to a fren. An wee wuz
frenz.

Hee never bovered uscats except hee wud chase us up on daporch ifff
anuver dog or a wil aminal com roun. An den hee wud go see wutday
wanned. Iff it wuz a dog fren uv hiss an wuz not gonna bover us, he
wud let usn off daporch and go visick wiff his fren. If it wuz sumwun
hoo wanned truble, he would not bark. He wud get all swole up an scary-
wookin anhee wud GROWL. Real lo anna loud atda same tim. Anna da groun
anda porch wud shak an it wud be reel scary but it din scare US becuz
weee noo hoo wuz doin it andat hee wuv us.

An den hoooever wanned trubl wud rund away. Once in awile Konrad wud
haffta fite but dat yoousullly ment dat dey ran way bleedin. Wunc
three reelly meen cuyotes, wike d*ggies but bad naughty awful, wuz
fitin him anna Daddy cum out of dahous wif a shootgun. Butted he din
hafta shoot anda cuyotes run off bleedin anna Konrad wuz bleedin too.
Ted mad him better.

Mostly, do, der wuzn' no trubl and Konrad wud hang roun wiff us catz,
listenin to r wisdum anna leernin stuff no d*g culd lern any uffer
way. An da yeerz past. An da storeez I cud tell yoo. Butted ventually
Konrad gotted ol an gray. An hiss eyesite gotted bad. Butted hee wuz
stil havin fun, so it din matter much. But den hee gotted berry beerry
sick. An da TED codnt mek him bettr. Anhee ast our Daddy anna Mommy
purmissun to go to da Bridj, where hee wud feel bettr. Andey had TED
hep him gotoo da Bridj. Anna wee all misst him furry furry much. But
dat is da tribyoot anna not da story.

Wascal

What a wonderful story and tribute youze told Wascal. Ize real real sure
that Konrad was there to protect youze from the bobcat. Some how Rainbow
Bridge residents have a way of being there when really really needed. Least
Meowmie has felt Punkins (RB) around sometimes when shez was really down.
