10/3 〜 10/6

So, what's another situation going to be like, Katie?
Pookie is with them.

Darn it! We forgot Pookie's dog food!
That's no biggie. There's still a little food left at home.
Oh, good.
Yeah, just a few bites. That's all.
That reminds me. Dr. Ijuin left a message saying Pookie is overdue for his shots.
Oh, doctor busybody Ijuin! Leave me alone, please.
I'll take him in today.
This is the worst nightmare, man.
While I'm at it, I'll order a dog ID tag, and buy dog food. And I'll have all the bases covered.
Good thinking!
Not at all. Guys, let me go get my food now!
Okay. Let's go home.
I wish they could understand my language.
Pookie, hop in!
Woof!

Oh, I love Pookie.
Me too.
You know, that reminds me, we need to close the show.
Good thinking.

Well, I don't know whether it's good or bad, but until next time..

Oh, that Pookie.

So Jeff...
Uh-huh
What's another situation going to be like?
Pookie Talks.

                          • -


Do you want to help me take Pookie to get his shots?
Yeah!
Oh, come on, Leo.
Dad, Pookie hates that new collar you got him. It's way too loose.
Hey, thanks, Leo.
I have my doubts about that.
It's true! I saw Pookie scratching at his collar with his hind leg until it came off.
(hind leg = 後ろ肢)
Okay, I'll keep that in mind.
That's not necessary, Johnny boy.
Where's the collar now, Leo?
Good question.
Pookie hid it.
Bad answer.
Huh? Where is it, Pookie?
Good question again.
Pookie, tell me.
Not telling. Ruf!

That Pookie!
Bad boy.
Yes.

OK. Time-up. We got to go.
Oh. I have my doubts about that.
It's true.

So Katie, what's another situation going to be like this time?
Ken, they're happy Pookie's gone.

                              • -


Pookie, we're home!
Here, Pookie!
Who left the gate open?
I did!
I can't believe you did that!
Sorry, I wasn't thinking.
Do you think Pookie ran away?
I'm afraid so.
Don't get your hopes up too high. He could be next door for all we know.
Right. Let's take a spin around the neighborhood.
Let's relax, and savor the peace and quiet.
(savor = 楽しむ、味わう to enjoy an experience, activity, or feeling as much as you can and for as long as you can)
Yes, let's.

It's so nice and quiet in the house.
Bowwow!
Oh, Pookie. Welcome home.
I've been upstairs getting a tan.
Are you hungry?
Hypocrites! Woof!

Hypocrites.
I love that.
Well, Pookie is thinking positive.
I hope he thinks positive too.

So Jeff...
Uh-huh.
What's another situation going to be like?
Oh, you are going to like this. It's a scene from a melodrama.

                                          • -

John, darling, you're so quiet. A penny for your thoughts, my sweet?
Oh, angel, I feel really bad about Pookie. It was thoughtless of me not to shut the gate.
Don't be too hard on yourself, my darling. We'll find Pookie sooner or later, honey pie.
The odds are against us, my pumpkin center. But okay. I'll ring up my courage, call the animal shelter and see if anyone has dropped him off.
(odds = 勝ち目、勝算)
Brave husband! And I'll go talk to the neighbors one by one, door to door!
Brave wife!
I'll make signs! I'll make so many of them and so big. They can see it from the space station.
Great son!

                        • -

That really is over the top.
Yeah. It was thoughtless of me to write such a ... impossible
No. Don't be too hard on yourself.
OK. All right.
