Just recently though, I was inspired to tell you the most beautiful love story. It's even true! It's the story of my brother Turbo and his lovely fiancee, Zuda. I call it A Tail of Two Rescues.
I thought it would be best to tell it from the point of view of the principals and so we begin with Zuda (with a cameo by yours truly, of course). First though, I must apologize to Zuda for not being able to speak her beautiful dialect. Mummy and Aunt Angie always insisted that we speak correct hooman English you know. (They didn't know any better and now it's too late) Anyway, without further ado, part 1:
Part 1: The Set Up
Zuda:
Our first
meeting…ahhh yes. It didn’t start out as
romantically as a girl might hope, but of course all that was made up with
interest and a cherry on top later.
Here’s what happened:
Lily and
Abby and I went with Momma dog and Daddyman to the BROOD Ramble in
September. We always like to support the
organization that gave all of us so many reasons to be happy. This year too, we had heard that Bentley
would be there campaigning. My sisters
and I had been following Bentley’s campaign and we thought he was awfully
cute! We even had some squabbles about
who he would like best..
It was a
wonderful day, even though hot. We got
to meet Bentley and his sister Bimmer and also our Queen, Bailey! We were all so excited! All those important Names in just one day,
imagine!
All the way
home we talked about how much we LOVED Bailey and Bimmer and giggled about
Bentley and what a gorgeous President he would make and wouldn’t it be fun to
be the First Lady if you were married to such a nice President?
We got busy
right away on Facebook furthering our acquaintance with Bentley and supporting
his campaign. Were we ever disappointed
when we found out he was already in a relationship! But THEN he mentioned his brother and running
mate, Turbo! We were all excited again,
ESPECIALLY after we saw his picture. My
but he looked strong and handsome and noble!
Bentley tried to get Turbo to chat with us then, but Turbo said he
thought he was much too old to find true love and besides, he needed to
practice his piano since he’d be playing at George’s. He did say he’d love to be friends with us
though.
“How old is
he?” I asked when Bentley reported this conversation.
“Well…he’s
ten,” said Bentley hesitantly (he was only three at the time after all), “but
most of the time he seems WAY younger than that, I promise!” He’s really fun, he just needs more
naps. I like naps myself!”
That decided
it for me! After all, I’m the oldest
sister and no spring chicken either! I’m
young at heart myself though and lots of naps sounds like a bonus to me! “Back away girls,” I told my sisters, “THIS
one is meant for ME!”
They pouted
a little, but agreed that I should have the first chance. (As if there would be a second chance for
anybody! HMMPH!!)
“Hey
Bentley,” I said then. “Do you think
Turbo would talk just to me? I’m sure we
could be really good friends.”
“I think so
too,” said Bentley, “but he really is practicing right now. Let me think…..WAIT A MINUTE! I’ve got it!
It’s PERFECT! Zuda, can you come
to the bar day after tomorrow? George’s
Piano Bar I mean, you know the one?”
“I do know
it,” I agreed, “and I’d love to come to George’s. But I don’t quite see…”
“Turbo will
be playing then and Bessie will be working, she’ll help me introduce the two of
you. Please say you’ll come!”
I laughed,
“of course I’ll come. What time should I
be there?”
To be continued....
oooh how romantic. Hurry me wants the next bit...
