Help is on the way. Should Cody and Mehitabel be worried? (Click here for the back story.)
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Enough is enough. I thought I could handle the situation here at my house, but that silly Cody dog is making my life miserable. CookieCakes (a/k/a Cordelia’s Mom) has no idea what goes on when she’s not here. She thinks by putting me on top of the dresser that I’m safe.
My purpose here on earth is to watch over CookieCakes. How can I do that if I’m locked in a bedroom all day? So I find ways to get out and patrol. But I’m way too old to keep dodging that dog, just because I look like all the stuffed toys that Cody has shredded.
I think it’s time to call in reinforcements. I’m taking you up your offer to come over here and straighten that dog out – maybe you can scare her straight or something.
And as long as you’re here, perhaps you can make a side-trip to Cody’s cat friend, Mehitabel. God knows she really needs straightening out – and I’m sure the pandas will thank you.
When can I expect your arrival? Are there any special supplies you’d like me to have on hand?
Looking forward to working with you, Teddy Rosalie
PS: I’m thinking maybe you could “dog-sit” [snicker] when CookieCakes and I go on photoshoots. Then you’d have lots of time to “re-train” that beast. Would that work for you?
***
I am ready to visit and assist immediately!
I must apologize – it appears your last communication slip passed me .. probably the dog or her catty friend interfering! I am sure that with my eons of knowledge and your intimate knowledge of Cody and your dear human we can sort things out.
In anticipation, Vlad the Great
***
Come right away. CookieCakes is seriously distracted, what with the construction people coming in soon, and she’s been setting me down in some really unusual places. I can’t run very fast, and I certainly can’t show any movement when CookieCakes is in the room. It just a matter of time before that silly dog eats me.
I’m stocking up on peanut butter and bananas. See you soon.
Waiting with bated breath, Teddy Rosalie.
***
I am on my way post hast. I am just throwing a few things into my valise:
A spare cape of invisibility (one size fits all) – if CookieCakes is distracted we may need to use the capes as means of escape and for getting about the house and neighbourhood unmolested!!
Some extra nice cookies and dog biscuits so we can get madam Cody on our side!
Also my special anti-garlic bracelet!
And some pepper spray in case that pesky, sly cat Mehitabel comes around.
Did you mention construction workers? They can be an awful distraction so I understand your worries. I am leaving now – I can fly at the speed of light even faster if I put my mind to it!
I have enclosed three pictures of myself so you will recognize me. (Note to self: remember not to wear cape of invisibility on arrival!)
Rest easy, Lady Rosalie. I am on my way. By the time you read this, I shall be by your side to serve and protect!
Yours, Vlad the speedy!
PS: Put that toast on – flying makes me hungry. xxxx

A FEW DAYS LATER
Willow21: How is Vlad behaving?
Cordelia’s Mom: Vlad is being very helpful, but staying out of sight, as one might expect. Poor Cody is getting confused. (PS: I think I need to go out for some more bananas – Vlad’s a hungry little guy, isn’t he?)
Willow21: Hungry… Better you feed him banana and peanut butter on toast than he starts on the blood milarkie!!
Cordelia’s Mom: BTW, the washing machine was making a horrible noise this evening (seriously unbalanced load), and it scared the heck out of Cody. Cody got tuckered out early because of it and is now sound asleep. I think Vlad might have had something to do with it, don’t you?
Willow21: Yes that definitely sounds like Vlad he probably put in a load of invisible capes, they weigh a ton you know. 😉

Well, it looks like the game is afoot, or is that apaw? If you think I am scared of a couple of stuffed bears, you need your fuzzy stuffing in your heads looked at. I never thought I would find myself siding with a DOG, but there are hierarchies of reprehensiblness.
Don’t let that sneaky Vlad in his invisibility cloak sneak up on you! Dogs have good hearing, so be on your guard!

Immortal vampire bears are no concern of mine. And most cats are pretty rude, in my experience. Try not to take it personally. How did it come to this? arguing with stuffed teddy bears? Consorting and siding with DOGS? What is this world coming to?

Quiver your cape now – when the Bear Peacekeeping Force arrives General Seeum Bear will be sure you bearhave. With the artillery loaded with special tipped anti- Vampire bear shells and the air cover flying with decloaking shields and Vampire bear speed limiting projectors 24/7, you’ll be shaking your cloak in the local 7-11 where you go for your daily walk and a Coke.

You’ll be impressed when you see that we bring advisers from the Olde Worlde whose ancestors fought and defeated the Vampires over the centuries. Besides, we have to be careful that cat Mehitabel does not incite us to fight each other when she is the real source of dissension. I only wish to establish peace.

Ha! That is a fun post CM. I wasn’t quite sure that Vlad was real – he tends to wander about under his cloak of invisibility so this is the first I remember seeing his picture. Also that is a very classy unicorn he flies around on. I’m glad I’m not Cody- she is in for a rough time with a light-speed vampire protecting Teddy Rosalie. That’s a lot of power- I hope that Rosalie and Vlad don’t get flushed with power and act out. They could tickle Cody’s toes when she is asleep, put the cloak of invisibility over her food dish, write fake e-mails from Mehitabel , and just generally misbehave. It could become a war zone CM, so you’ll have to keep an eye out. If you suddenly see a plant pot sliding across the floor apparently on its own, you’ll have reach behind the pot and pluck the cloak of invisibility off Rosalie and Vlad – the little imps.
Best of luck CM – Cody could be out matched.

In the process of moving i discovered three bears who had been decommissioned in my closet. They had had porridge before their nap and were ready to go when i woke them. I told them of the problem with Mehitabel, a rabble-rousing cat who has exerted undo sway over the innocent but easily influenced Cody. This influence has posed a danger to Teddy Rosalie, a peaceful and loving bear in the central US. A British vampire bear, by the name of Vladimir the Immortal Vampire Bear has flown to Teddy Rosalie’s to offer assistance. Once my three bears heard this story, they talked amongst themselves and decided that they wished to go to the danger zone as peace keepers. They would prevent all sides from harming each other until the issues could be resolved. On that note, they geared up, hired a bus and have set out for Teddy Rosalie’s location. I’m not sure how they intend to offer their services but we shall have to see when they arrive. It is only a day’s drive for these bears who have trucked with their owner for many years and are quite comfortable with long drives and have an unerring sense of direction. please give them my regards when they arrive.

Yes, I believe peacekeepers may be needed. There seems to be some strife between Great Britain and the U.S. at the moment. Cody and I will be in touch.
