Help! I'm all full of glue, the mouse died, and my stomach made me do it!
"Hi!"
"Shorty, please hurry! The newsletter has to be ready for the printer tomorrow, and we're running out of time."
Well, at the moment you could say that I'm kind of stuck!
"Stuck? What do you mean, stuck and by the way, what are you doing with glitter on your nose?"
Well, it's a long story, I was trying to make something for the craft sale, when I accidentally spilled the glue...
"Enough, Shorty, you need not say any more, your heart was in the right place, but I think we ought to leave craft making up to our friends out there. Besides, we need alot of crafts, more than you or I could ever make within the next few weeks. We are counting heavily on this craft sale to raise money to enable us to provide food, shelter, and medical care for homeless animals this winter."
Maybe if I explained to all of our new friends and contributors what is so unique about the T.L.C. Craft Show, we might have more folks interested in donating crafts and bakery. You should know that all the craft items are donated by fellow animal lovers like yourself, which means every penny made goes directly towards helping the animals! So how about it, will you help us out? We are requesting if it is at all possible, for you to preprice the craft items you're donating. As you know, the shelter keeps my people friends very busy, and this would help them out tremendously. It's not that I couldn't do the pricing, but the last time I tried, I ended up with more price tags stuck to me than on anything else. Ouch! Paws come in handy for some things, but putting on stickers isn't one of them. Before I forget, I want to mention that craft items may be brought to the shelter November 8th, 11th, 12th and 13th, (the 9th and 10th are days we are normally closed) or if you prefer, you may bring crafts directly to the sale at 9:30 am on the 15th. As for the baked goods, leave them with me and I'll make sure...
"Shorty don't even think about it! If our friends leave the bakery with you, the only thing that would be left is the crumbs! Please label and preprice all baked goods and bring them directly to Homer Township Hall at 9:30 am on the 15th."
Phooey, foiled again.
"Shorty, it's only a safeguard, you know that your tummy gets you into alot of trouble, or did you forget about the mouse?"
I didn't mean (for lack of better words) to kill the mouse. It was an accident! The trouble began when I spied that donut sitting by the computer, and I thought jut one swift leap and the donut would be mine, all mine. A little too much momentum on my part, knocked the mouse to the floor (computer mouse that is). It made such a hard awful sound when it hit, and I had a feeling something was wrong.
"You can say that again Shorty, you killed the mouse, and to compound matters, that was my donut you ate. The donut I planned on eating as soon as my work was done. We have a new mouse, but Shorty, you still owe me a donut."
Well, I gotta run, it looks like it's time to make the donuts!
"No, Shorty! Stop, apology accepted, you don't have to make the donuts, just keep your paws out of the kitchen. The last time you cooked it took a week to clean up the mess!"
Love, Shorty
PS.
We can always use extra help at the sale, If you're interested, please let us know as soon as possible. I'm going to volunteer at the bake tables.
"No, Shorty, you can't fool me. If you want to help, we need someone on crumb patrol, which entails using a broom and a dustpan."
Phooey, foiled again!
