Raggy Tales

"What a miserable drive. The roads suck on your side of town. I'm not staying the night. Maybe lets just get one game in before it gets dark and the roads ice over."

"More wine for me then. None for you. The boards set up. Leave your boots by the stairs."

"Won't Argos eat them?"

"Not if we play here in the kitchen."

"How's he doing with Wendy's dogs over here all week?"

"We're all goin' nuts. I can't wait till she picks them up Tuesday."

"What kind of trouble?"

"Last week I came home and he'd eaten the remote, and a pair of my shoes. And he had his toys scattered from one end of the house to the other."

"And he's still alive?" S H O C K ....18 points

"The only thing I really got mad about is I found Raggy all chewed up in the corner of the living room." D E S P A I R......12 points

"Poor Jim always plays second fiddle to that thing."

"Raggy?"

"Yes...of course Raggy!"

"EWWWW there's something seriously wrong with you!"

"Ya think? Must be a childhood trauma thing or something."

"What happened to the door knob?"

"Argos likes to chew door knobs now too." S I L L Y ....10 points

"But they're metal and they're three feet off the ground."

"Well, he's a big boy, Mom, and he likes to chew. Now play. It's your turn. And for Gods sake, don't drop any tiles on the floor."
