"Red buried a package right before he went away to the pen. Lockdown was hard on him and he's just too old to travel the distance. You three must retrieve this package. If you don't....well go on!

"What do you think it is Anne?"

"No more questions. Mo' says it's around Red's old racoon hunting farm, let's get this package or...."

Strange Christmas

Christmas started out as usual. Stocking, toy, a few snacks, but then something strange happened.














Snow began to fall on all the merry dogs. It was I that noticed the track marks which led us to the unexplained....

"Anne, check out these strange markings!"

"I say...those are crop circles! Left by the shadows!"

"Follow those tracks Anne!"

"O holy night! What is that?"

??????????????????????????????????????????????

"Where did it go 'Tank'?"

"Some things are just meant to remain a mystery."

As Anne and "The Tank" unlock mysteries of the universe, the unsupervised "Family Members" were, well....

Enjoying the Christmas mystery of a white Christmas.

A Story You Have Kinda Of, Sort Of, Heard Before.........

The following is based on a true story........

"I am the ghost of Christmas future, and I have come to warn you of perils and pitfalls you will encounter if you do not change your ways.

"Tank": Don't Ghost were sheets?

"No...not future ghosts...we go all mask. Now lets take a look at some happier times, a time when you understood the true meaning of Christmas.........

"What joy and innocence you possessed. But Beware of what waits! Anger, Loneliness! Let's take a look.

Anger!

Loneliness!

"Tank": "You mean I get Charlie Bears and whiskey all to myself?"

"Tank": "Whoa, I just had the strangest dream...I suddenly have the urge to hand out fresh poultry to all, and to all a good night. Merry Christmas from:

Benny "The Tank" and "The Family"

Homecoming

I refuse to say it...you know, what every dog says when he returns home from a long journey. Okay, I'll say it! There's no place to pee like your own backyard! Everyone! "The Tank" is back!

"We knew you would make it back in time."

"Don't look so aloof "Tank"; Please tell me you didn't forget the annual Halloween "Fur Ball"?

"Holy peanut brittle! I did almost forget! Well there's only one thing to do when you receive  good news like this...Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Uh, I wonder if I should tell someone that a giant, red hamster is walking through our yard? The poodle in me says yes, definitely I should, but the lab in me says...RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday Teaser

Mandy finally catches up with "The Tank"!

Unbeknownst to "The Tank" Mandy observes from afar; fearing that they will never return to their world. But the dark vortex of the forest beckons Mandy to enter as it promises to return her safely home.

Enchanted by natures spell, Mandy cannot resist the temptation to obey its command. Will "The Tank" ever return, or will he remain amongst the trees and humans, forever searching for his hush?

To Sit In The Throne

"Stand guard Mandy! I have grown old and weary, yet I sit and wait for our new guests to arrive for the meeting. I do not fear the darkness that trails them in the light, but it is they that shall fear the darkness we will encompass upon them. Don't let my blonde hair, and teddy bear brown eyes fool you, at the end of the day, I am, we are, "The Family". These shadows will soon learn our family motto, 'Don't ever, ever, touch our bones!' We can see in the dark, we can hunt in the dark, we can thrive in the dark, but can a shadow, who has only seen light, their light, survive one moment in darkness. I think its time for "The Tank" to educate.

A Shadow And A Master's Return

As we continue our venture into the forrest, the winter chill is suddenly broken, and we see our master, and the shadow he took.

"I have returned home in despair. The shadows have grown restless, they yearn for a body. I have returned to prepare everyone for the...

An Odd Place

Mandy claims to have spotted "The Tail" near this odd landmark. Of course, "The Family" has volunteered "The Tank" to investigate.

Okay, wait a minute, those bones look awfully familiar...Uncle Dino...?

Nope, nothing here...Let's Go!

Hurry up Gracie! We got a tail to find!

"Whisp...Whisp..."

2/28/10

The Creepy Tree gives "The Family" a tip on "The Tail's" whereabouts.

"Go deep, go far, look closely...and within the soul of the forrest, you will find your answer."

So of course, we embark into the forrest. We run a floral business, what elese are we going to do? All we can see is vast wildenress, and no sign of "The Tail".

We can only hope that Anne is standing by the radio. God forbid there is any more Blue Moon left. Before we go any further, I must do one thing.

To you it's cliché, but to us it's a way of life, the right way.

In Search Of "The Tail" Continued...

As I sit and contemplate "The Tail's" existence, I decide that "The Tail" is purely symbolic. How can a tail just be a tail...How can a tail not be connected to an end...at least the end of something? Does a tail communicate by the number of wags it deems necessary to provide an answer? What does a tail eat, if it eats at all? Pizza, dust particles, fried fish...no one's sure. These are the questions that I ask myself as I sit here, in this chair, a chair of contemplation. So I will follow Grandma' Mo's orders, and continue to search for "The Tail", but I have many doubts...

Miss Gracie

To Tail Drop

After burying a few bodies, and dealing with an emotional Tina, I had to hide away at the snuggery for a few days, and yea I said bodies...watch'a gonna' do about it! The floral busines is a tough kind of business. So, where were we..that's right we had just tapped the phone line to "The Tail's" hide out while we await Mr. Shadowcaster and Mandy's shadow return.

Anne! Can you hear anything?

Hold on! I'm trying to listen to the radio. All I can hear is  swoosh, swoosh, and whisping noise. It kind of sounds like wind, no it sounds like a squeak, not it sounds like a...Wait a minute, what am I listening to again?

Big Teeth

With the continued absence of Mr. Shadowcaster, Gracie and Mandy are not able to maintain their jealousy for my time any longer. What started out as a simple argument on who would get to patrol the grounds with me, quickly turned into a...well, sometimes I just need some "Tank Time" anyways. I'll let them work it out.
