Surfin' Trout

            Guess what?

            The Mayor must’ve found Tony bepaws in a span of maybe ten minutes he was out there on a board going, “HEY!  HEY!  LOOK ATS ME!  LOOKS AT ME!”

            I remember that Barney asked kind of wonderingly.  “How did he learn how to surf like that?”  But no one really answered him bepaws it was a race to see who would find Tony the dude surfing cat.  It didn’t end up as much of a race though.  He was like maybe a few paw steps down the beach.

            Tony was an older dude cat and mellow as the sunny day.  He even called us ‘dudes.’  The Sheriff asked him if he was high on some kind of nip and he gave a blank stare and just meowed out, “Why wud you think dat dude?”

            Dude!

            Love that word dude!

            I think Tony was high on some kind of cool catnip though bepaws when it came to paying he just said, “Don’t worry abouts it dudes.”  Then he waved us off and went back to a serious nap. 

            We didn’t argue-meee-ow why would we?  We’re talking free surfing but something really scary was happening.  Barney, who was supposed to be watching da Mayor surf lost track of him and we couldn’t see his funky red board in the water at all!
