Louie’s stomach strikes again!

It’s their own fault, if the aroma of all that yummy bacon didn’t wake them up.

Good morning crew, we’re going revenge raiding!

Okay maybe one guard dog isn’t enough. Particularly when the guard cat, Scratch actually came from the enemy ship so Scratch wouldn’t betray his old friends and sound the alarm. Maybe they should get a second guard dog? Ideally one that can actually speak English to the humans.

Good morning Crew!

well that’s just fighting dirty…surprised they weren’t bacon wrapped meatballs!!

Louie is too easily distracted.3

Labs are famous for being lousy guard/watch dogs. They love everyone (although there are rare exceptions). A standing joke among Lab-guardians is that Labs are so sweet and helpful, they’ll show a burglar where the jewelry is hidden and give them the combination to the safe. Then they’ll sit down with their tails wagging to make sure the burglar got the safe opened okay. Louie is a most lovable example. He’s not stupid, he just naively believes in the best of people.

It’s unfair to Louie, since he has been introduced to all the Green Ship’s crew. Now, if they were stealing his full food bowl…

Why don’t they bolt the safe to the floor of the ship. That could be a funny story line.

Louie can’t help being addicted to bacon.

Good night, Crew!

Indeed … poor Louie. An innocent soul distracted by bacon. Let’s all give him another big batch to make up for this one—whaddya say?!

Good Evening, Crew.
