Matey Mate and Milldred and the Not So Funny Bone.

By Dave Bowles

Matey Mate and Milldred are dogs; and best friends, Matey Mate is a Jack Russell cross and Milldred is a Boxer. Every day is an adventure to them, this is just one of such adventures.
A Bone with unknown powers and capabilities has shown up to persuade them to prevent a catastrophe of epic proportions from happening.
It would lead to a world that would be changed forever.
The dogs find it hard to accept what is expected of them and find it that much harder to believe that they are in communication with a Bone.
Matey Mate with all his cunning and know-how is relied on to set a plan into action to save the day while Milldred is, simply put, a clumsy galloopa.
Between them, odd as it seems, make a good team.

MATEY MATE MILLDRED and the NOT SO FUNNY BONE.

Lazing in the sun after another typical fun-filled day of playing, exploring and causing harmless havoc; truely a dog's life. Only on this particular afternoon, the dogs were rudely interrupted by the tell-tale rustling sounds down near the fence. With ears pricked, hackles up, they charged down, barking madly. As usual, they ran over each other to get there first.

Milldred, while trying to get around her opponent Matey Mate, clumsily tripped over an unfamiliar large bone, causing her to plough headfirst into the ground. With a look of embarrassment, she inspected the bone. Hey Matey Mate, this wasn't here earlier!

Used to her clumsiness, Matey Mate continued searching for the source of the noise. He had no doubt that it was the old elusive bush turkey; which as usual was over the fence before they arrived.

Milldred picked it up before Mate could get his teeth into it. Holding it between her floppy lips, dribble escaped from the corners of her mouth.
