Announcement

"What's going on?" asked Miss Feathers.

"Woof?"


"Alright, I'm here," said Uncle Tibbs. "Does anyone know what this is all about?"

"Ajdin told us to be here for a special announcement. That Ajdin is always up to something!" said Miss Feathers.


"Sooooorryyyyy I'mmmmm laaaaateee," said Ooogie.

"No problem, we haven't started yet," said Uncle Tibbs.


"Look!  Here he comes now!"


I cleared my throat as I approached the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, stuffies and non-stuffies," I began. "Without a doubt, this has been a rather unusual election year. The net has been cast far and wide on both sides for presidential candidates. We have seen many political figures throw their honey jar in the race over the past year. Some of them have included:

Donald TUNA -- HONEY Rodham Clinton -- BEARnie Sanders -- Carly FISHrina -- Mike HuckaBEE -- TEDDY Cruz -- MACKEREL Rubio -- BEAR Carson -- CARP Christie -- SALMON Walker... among many others."


"Is he doing what I think he's doing?" whispered Uncle Tibbs.

"However, I believe that none of these candidates truly represent the interests of us stuffies. That is why I have decided to seek the office of the Presidency of the United States. I hope I will earn your vote as the nominee for the Stuffie Party."

The room erupted into thundering applause.


But there was a heckler in the crowd.

"YOU CAN'T RUN FOR PRESIDENT! YOU WEREN'T BORN HERE! WHERE'S YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"

I could feel my political career quickly come to a screeching halt, but then I remembered a legal loophole.


"The Stuffie Constitution, Article 2, Clause 5B states that any stuffie may run for President of the United States."

The crowd cheered!  I continued with my speech.

"In recent years, we have seen honey and salmon prices increase, but wages have failed to keep pace. If I am President, all stuffies will have free honey and free salmon!"

The same heckler yelled out again.


"WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT?"


I paused.

"Umm... uh... umm..."

The crowd began to murmur. I could feel beads of sweat forming above my brow. Finally, I thought of a solution.

"... the humans will pay for it!"

The crowd cheered again!

VOTE FOR AJDIN ADILOVIC

FOR A SWEETER FUTURE

Surprise

"Ajdin, can you help me tidy up around here?" asked Uncle Tibbs.


"Sure," I said.

Uncle Tibbs got some cleaning spray and a cloth.

"So much to do..." he murmured.


"What's the occasion?"

"We're having a visitor," he said.


"Oh really?  Who is it?" I asked.

"Now for the tea... and honey... ah, someone beary special..." he said.


"Really?  Someone famous?  A celebrity?"

"Yes, bigger than a celebrity.  Can you put some cookies on a plate, please?"

I sampled a cookie.


"Who is it?  A rock star?  The President?"

"Hmm... do I look presentable?  Maybe I need to brush my fur a little bit," said Uncle Tibbs.

"It must be someone beary important," I said.

"Yes, beary important indeed," he smiled.  "Go put on one of your nice shirts," he told me.


"Uncle Tibbs, won't you please tell me who is visiting?  I really can't wait any --- "

DING DONG!!!

"Go answer the door, Ajdin!"


I opened the door, and it was...


... Mrs. Tibbs!  (Uncle Tibbs' mom)

"Hello there Ajdin!" she said.  "You are looking quite well, how are you today?  Thank you for inviting me over for tea and cookies today!"

To all moms, we want to say...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Australian goodies

"Woof?"

"I'm not sure what it is, Parker.  It's a package from Australia."


"Can you help me open it?"

"Woof!"  He pulled out the contents.

"Whoa, that's a lot of stuff!"


"Oh, it's a card from Benaud, Hicks, and Chloe from Australia!'


"Everything here is from Australia.  Let's see, we've got Tim Tams, Vegemite, a cool pen, and some neat keychains of a kangaroo and a koala."


"Woof!"

"Oh you're right, there's one more thing.  It's a t-shirt that says Australia on it.  I'll try it on right away."


"How does it look?"

"Woof!"

Thank you for the Australia goodie package!

Have you been to Australia before?
