Housepets!

Um... Okay... I'm going to oll over and try to fall asleep so Peanut doesn't see me .... Crying.

Jasper - will we ever see you again?

(Looooooong silence......crickets chirping......)

Um, okay ... So, Fido, How are you and Fox getting along these days? He gets to go adventuring with two angelic huskies and your beloved Sabrina and you get to stay home with ........... Kevin Beauregard.

Fido: Well, I have my duty, I have my friends, and I have Sabrina's heart wherever else she is. And Fox has ...my best wishes. Let's leave it there.

So, Sergeant Ralph, when do you think you'll have a female officer on the force? Or maybe a cat? Or a feral?

please stop bumping a game everyone else has gotten bored with.
if it's going to come back, it'll come back, if it won't it wont, but replying to yourself won't make it happen faster.

Well, sometimes it's worked...

You're missing the point, I'm not complaining about the attempt to revive the game, its the fact that you keep trying after the first attempt failed.

Let's star over.

Peanut, when will you work on your Spot comics again?

I could take some time after everything from this temple quest settles down.

Dear Cerberus, before you got your promotion did you know Eudoant? If so what was he like to you?

Cerberus: yeah, we go way back, since we both were gate-keepers before I got promoted. We'd pass time playing chess and canasta, stuff like that. Eudoant cheats like crazy, by the way.

Celia Milton: What do think of your brother, Thomas, as a camel? Met Sofie yet?

Well, the place got a lot calmer after Karishad left, but now there's this lunatic camel here who keeps jabbering about gold and injustice and how he hates ferrets....man, what a creep!

So, Dallas, has Karishad let you off the hook yet? Did you have fun being a Star Wars hero or was it all s bit too "real"?

Star Trek, there's a major difference there, but yeah, it was fun. Apparently it could have been world-ending? Either wat, it's passed. Also, I'm sure Karishad still does. He's really hard to read.

Little demon spawn (is it alright if I call you Neel?), what's your first plan now that you're on Earth?

Neel: Sure, "daddy", if I can stay at your place you can call me whatever you like. Oh, and what's a ferret?

Fox and Mungo: did Sergeant Ralph authorize this absence?

Fox: "Well, he-"

Mungo: "Not really."

To King: Do you feel just as cruddy as I do now?

No, I feel worse. I always feel worse. And anxious...

Bailey, how do you put up with the neurotic little guy?

He's actually not that different from some of the people in my last family, so I have experience.

Kitsune, you ever get the thought of playing with the pups, so when they start asking about "Uncle Kit" King will have a freakout rant towards you, just to see his reaction?

"All the time~"

@King: Fair enough. At least you have actual kids though.

Bino - As a charismatic leader of the canine community, have you ever considered a hike and maybe an overnight camp out for The Good Ol' Dogs Club?

"You know, that might actually be a good idea! I could show off the survival skills from my wolf test! Just because I don't have anything to show for it doesn't mean that I didn't conquer and bear and an eagle!"

Jess, how is rooming with the new fox family going?

Jessica: "Well, Kix is okay, but her kids .... ! They've got the craziest imaginations....it's like Falstaff and Truc, except they have brains. And where's Karishad gotten off to?"

Say, Peanut, have you ever thought of starting a Babylon Gardens sports league and have baseball or soccer games?

"That's a great idea, I'm gonna go plan that now."

Dear Res, do you have any writing tips you can share with me?

Well, I find a quiet spot, get a big pad of paper, a couple of pens and pencils, put on some light jazz music, pour a cold beverage, and wait for all my anxieties to drain out of my skull....

Sabrina: Can you sing? Ever performed for the Yarn Ball? We know Maxwell thinks he can sing … ever done a duet with him or Keys and Fiddler?

I mean, I do on occasion, but never for a crowd. I don't even let Tarot or Fido hear me. Intentionally, at least. Tarot says I'm pretty good, Fido encourages me to sing more. And no, never done any of that with Max, though not like the thought wasn't there. Never considered with Fiddler and Keys, though.

Jess, any clever ways to sneak Zach around without all the other woodland denizens seeing and setting up services for him?

Well i found a half empty bottle of brown hair dye in the trash once...

Dear Roosevelt having a good summer?

Terrific, love! Great guests and no one's asked me and Bruce to warble "Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport!" all season. Haven't seen that crazy cat in the pirate costume either.

Dallas: After your big Temple adventure, have you recovered from Karishad blaming you for everything and are you and Lester still pals?

Yeah, Lester and I are still buddies. Just make sure to keep a blunt object around and things are fine. As for Karishad…

Some scars are hidden from view.

So, Breel, how's catching up on all the events since you originally died been going?

HOW DID THEY FLY TO THE MOON?! HOW? THATS INSANE!

Dear sabercat, hows the afterlife been treating ya?

Pretty good … no harsh lights and, oh hey, I just got a job working in a massage parlor with a bunch of Martins and Ferrets, sweet little guys. The post just came open...seems an employee took a transfer back to the Terrestrial plane. I get to slap the sweat outta people and twist `em into pretzels and, well, it's better than anything I had back in the Neolithic.

Steward/Badger: So, how's life in a tree house with a bunch of neurotic wild animals?

Well, at the very least I am unrecognizable to any humans.

To Fat Daryl: any freaky secret menus that have raised a stink? such as a Seven Layer Quesarito Chipotle Beefy Nacho Supreme? ("You're a twisted feline Silverball Jim!")

(Sorry. I had that ask in my head for weeks.)

I have no idea what you just said, but sounds delicious!

Keene, how's adapting to the "simple life?"

Great ... although maybe just one little power play ... Nobody'd mind, I'm sure ... except maybe Lana ... and Breel ... and Tarot ... and Kitsune ... and Bailey ... and Cerberus ... and King ... and Grape ... and Res ... and Jeeves ... and Sabrina ... and Fido ... and Jessica ... and Eudoant ... Sigh....


Tarot: do you have a "Mom" and "Dad" or bunk with Sabrina's family or ... where do you live, hun?

I stay with Mr. D'Angelo and Sabrina. Never really thought of him as "dad" but he was nice enough to let me stay. Which worked out all the better in regards to training Sabrina's powers. Pretty easy when you live with the student. And sort of necessary when Mr. D'Angelo is gone really often on his excavations.

Eudoant, you regret getting the "seaside property" in Pandemonium?

Eudoant: "Actually, in Pandemonium, lava flow bank properties are really hot. Although I admit I got burnt the last time. You never know what's gonna bubble up here."

So, Pueblo, now that you and your mom are giving civilization a try, what would you like to be when you grow up?

It's hard to choose with so many things you can be! I thought about this "investing" thing mom does, but it looks like it takes a lot of yelling. Then I thought about following in being a medic, but mom says that it takes a lot of money, which I always thought was weird. Maybe I'll see if Mr. Jack needs help, I'm good at swiping things.

Zach, ever thought about taking the time to sit down with the other predatory animals in town to let them know that you're not on the menu?

Not really, they usually start drooling before I can even start

Dear Joey, would you consider yourself confident and how did you get to that point

I certainly do! ….. um, right, Squeak?


Sabrina: so how much longer are you going to be an apprentice? Will there be a graduation? Think Max will attend?

No clue how much longer this will take. Tarot only says, "when you're ready."
I doubt there's some big celebration, it'll probably just be a simple acknowledgement, so there won't really be a crowd.

Max, still enjoying your prize from the Milton temple expedition?

Well, everything's gone and ferrets ran me off … but Jeeves sent me a real nice recipe for chocolate chip catnip cookies. What a swell guy!

Marvin: you think you and Max will ever pal around again like in the old haunted house days?

What do you mean 'again'? you say that like it's not a frequent thing. we don't just stand around doing nothing when the "camera" is on other pets you know.

Max: are you ever going to explain your ear?

I could...

Buuut that would detract from the charm it gives as a silent part of my past.~


Zach: Have the woodland animals changed all of the holiday songs to something "Opener of Ways" themed?
