Kelly (twiddling her thumbs in the hotel): For God's sake, if I wanted to sleep the Saturday away, I could do that at home. *sighs*
Cotterpin (shows up unexpectantly): No you couldn't. At least no one's bugging you at the hotel.
Kelly: O_O What are you doing here?
Cotterpin: Pffbt. I'm a Doozer and I live in tunnels that go anywhere, HELLLOOOOO.
Kelly (pouts): You didn't bring Spike?
Cotterpin (smirks): If I had a tunnel that big enter your room, what would your hotel repair bill be like?
Kelly (nods): Good point.
Cotterpin (nods towards bed): Besides, looks like your dog took your pillow.
Kelly (looks over at the pillow, covered in brown fur): NOOOOOOO!
Cotterpin: So, uh, why are you at the hotel at this hour? I thought you were gonna stay out all day.
Kelly (sighs, shrugs): That's what I thought. We went down to the French Quarter. Sarah and Bear loved all the new sights and sounds. We had been training them for this in a shopping center that was patterned after the old-town-kinda look back home. So, they didn't misbehave TOO much, until the other dogs started showing up. Sarah, now in her teens, is getting brassier and has decided that she is our loyal guard dog. *laughs* Of course, then Bear took a dump that was half his body weight. My brother was highly embarrassed. So we left. We returned to the hotel so that our hands could get blood circulation back because they had been pulling so hard on the leashes.
Cotterpin: Take a breath, you'll feel better.
Kelly (inhales): So now I'm in a hotel while my brother and Sarah sleep on one bed and Bear is on my pillows on my bed ... and I am bored to tears. I had hoped we were gonna take them to a doggie park. New Orleans is supposedly full of them. Maybe Ed can join me and we can do something together.
Cotterpin: Uh, he's still at the Dorms, you know.
Kelly: I got him a crystal ball, right? He said he's never been. I could quote-unquote show him around while I'm here. *shoos Cotterpin* Go ask Ed if he can pop over here for a bit.
Cotterpin (sighs, leaves through the tunnels and back to the Dorms and asks Ed if he wants to go on a tour)
