Mutley sniffed the dark, wet, bright orange

I pulled on the leash. "C'mon Mutley, let's go boy!" When I was giving him a bath the next day I noticed something odd. There were two strange bumps near his shoulders. It almost

slipped past me, but the stench was so bad now that I doubled over and cried out in pain. I shoved him out the back door and called animal control, Mutley was changing fast.

There wasn't anything else to do but run into the bathroom, lock the door, and hope he didn't find me. Poor Penelope and the Professor were outside alone with the monster dog.

Poor puppy. So misunderstood. Big brown eyes and little wet nose. This was no monster dog, Penelope decided, bending down to scratch him behind the ears. Professor screamed, "Noooo

it's not really a dog! It's actually a stuffed toy dog we have brought to life". The professor continued to explain how BoxMe Inc had perfect the art of bring stuffed animals to

the kids of high placed government officials. Upon receiving the pre-programmed signal, they would animate & destroy these enemies of BoxMe Inc. One stuffed Eeyore took out a whole

platoon of retro GI Joes, which had stopped functioning properly when rations became scarce. Not to be outdone, Pooh climbed into the nearest tree, for better sightlines. Rabbit

was aimlessly hopping around like the true psychopath he was. Pooh knew what he had to do. He had feared this moment since he first met Rabbit, and the time to do it was now.

He offered Rabbit the remains of a pot of honey he'd kept for a special occasion. Rabbit was so touched he even forgave Pooh for forgetting it was empty & invited him for tea.
