FUR BABIES IN THE WOODS
ACT 5
Scence 4. Clearing in the Wood. Day.
As the curtain rises we see our clearing in the wood with the wonderful Christmas tree SR. It’s all starting to look very festive indeed and the eagle-eyed amongst us will notice that several of Our Lurkers beautiful eyes are missing now! The entire Company of 64 are gathered together to welcome some Newcomers. All the Fur Babies do like a good Newcomer. Sherlock; fresh from the shoulder of Ed Sheeran and in great voice tonight skips across the stage holding paws with Charlie - a stunning British Shorthair cat (not to be confused with Charlie (Panda Bear) the Havanese). Smokey carries in a ladder on the top of which lies Maddie; our beautiful new Yorkshire Terrier. Smokey gently helps her onto a comfy bale of hay at the side of the Christmas tree. ASM’s have been told not to move anything on stage since Maddie is now unable to see and we don’t want her to be bumping into anything. She’s a little hard of hearing too, so all the Fur Babies will speak a little louder tonight. A cushion is brought onstage by Stannis in order to help support Maddie’s legs. Maddie has an incredible singing voice, however she hasn’t told anyone about that yet as she is incredibly modest. Tweedles the Yorkie floats onto the Rainbow Bridge holding paws with our new Poodle - Coco. The Company are so happy and delighted to welcome these 4 new Fur Babies. There is much waving and smiling. Casper, the Cocker who loves attention, has been to collect Ma Pastry’s latest cake which has been lovingly baked to celebrate the new arrivals. He only took the tiniest lick of the icing on the journey from her kitchen, so absolutely no-one notices. Casper gives all the new Fur Babies a nice slice of cake. Today, our Fur Babies wish to recount and recite a popular Fur Baby Fairy Tale. Smokey, Sherlock and Buttons step forward and go and stand from left to right on the three dwarf-walls SL of the porch. Roo, Makan and Klaudio each stand on a dwarf-wall SR of the porch. The eagle-eyed amongst us notice that the porch has a new sign nailed over the old sign. It says Dunvloggin’. When everyone is in place a hush falls as a hologram appears CS. Eloise Ich-Liebe-Dich - a beautiful Spitz looks out into the audience.
Smokey
Eloise Ich-Liebe-Dich the lovely German Spitz
Was prone to temper tantrums and threw many hissy fits
She attached herself to arguments and wantonly chose strife
She had a very stubborn streak and growled her way through life
She always chose the hard and stony path on which to walk
And when she reached a crossroad she would always choose the fork
That led her to a problem - she could never understand
Why life was always difficult and never what she planned
Sherlock
Eloise Ich-Liebe-Dich was very fair of face
But no-one seemed to like her - she was always in disgrace
Surely everyone could see the beauty of her coat?
Since no-one gave her praise she learned to keep herself remote
And haughtily and glacially she held her head up high
She never showed her feelings - no-one ever saw her cry
She kept herself quite separate and she never joined the pack
When other dogs gave her their stare she’d just outstare them back
Buttons
Eloise Ich-Liebe-Dich was no-one’s dog of choice
Until the day when lost in thought she found she’d lost her voice
This really gave her grief - should she give up - throw in the towel?
How could she live her life without the comfort of her growl?
She felt nervous, unprotected - every dog could smell her fear
And thus by this strange turn of fate a miracle grew near
Without her strident voice she could no longer have her say
And suddenly - from nowhere - other dogs came out to play
Roo
They ran along beside her and admired her lovely form
The bigger dogs protected her - they made sure she was warm
They licked her eyes and nuzzled her and told her that she was
The sweetest natured Spitz they’d ever known - this was because
She’d lost her biting edge - now she was friendlier it seemed
And Eloise was happier than she had ever dreamed
Now Rufus The Retriever with his long and wagging tail
Began to write her letters which he posted in the mail
Another hologram appears next to Eloise - it is Rufus The Golden Retriever
Makan
Her days now spent in merriment without her rasping voice
Made Eloise appealing - she was everybody’s choice
And dear and faithful Rufus with his huge, most ardent heart
Retrieved his heart’s desire by letting Cupid shoot his dart
They made the perfect couple and their beauty was now paired
As Eloise Ich Liebe-Dich - no longer fraught and scared
Took every lead from Rufus - her brave leader of the pack
Who gazed at her so lovingly - as glazed, she gazed right back
Klaudio
Without the stress of loneliness she once more found her voice
And now they‘re paired together as they run and they rejoice
Her voice now soft and gentle - more contrite and more subdued
For Rufus made his mark on her and now she was imbued
With gentle words of love in this reciprocal romance
His love released her true voice giving both of them a chance
And now he speaks the words she never heard and never knew
Rufus - Oh Eloise - Ich Liebe Dich - I really, truly do
