Homeward Pound

 

Long, long journey through the darkness,

Long, long way to go,

But what are miles across the ocean

To a heart that's coming home?

 

Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction, which is the ninth in a series created by fellow writer brave kid and me. In this story, the Pound Puppies and Kennel Kittens lead an expedition to reunite newly impounded kitten Spoons with her family, who live beyond the forest and through the mountains, but a very persistent Milton Feltwaddle has other ideas! Please enjoy!

BTW, here are a few pictures of the story's characters:

 

Spoons the lost kitten and her puppy pal Bumper, who misses her just as much as her owners, both of whom originally appeared in the episode, "Hello Kitten."

 

 

Buddy the friendly coyote who guides the group on their quest through the mountains. He originally appeared in the episode, "Rebel Without a Collar" in which he was a dog.

 

 

And the parents of Suzanne, Spoons and Bumper's owner, who appear in the beginning of the story.

 







Misplaced in Cyberspace

I don't think they're in New York any more...

 

 

Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction, which was a collab between fellow writer brave kid and I(He had the initial idea for the story, and I wrote it up), which is the eighth in a series he and I will be writing in the future. In this story, the villainous Milton Feltwadde's nephew Morton injects a virus into the puppy pound's computer, which prevents the Pound Puppies from helping puppies and purries find their perfect homes. Lucky and Ace thus take on the task of being digitized into the computer and tracking down the virus, but things soon get very weird! Please enjoy!

 

 

Pound Puppies Generation Gap: Pups in Cyberspace

 

 

BTW, here are a few pics of the story's characters:

 

 

Roxie, the Dalmatian pup who first appeared in the episode, "Accidental Pup Star." She arrives at the pound just before the virus is discovered, and the Puppies and Kittens hope to get things cleared away in time for her to find her perfect owner.

 

The computer mouse who greets Lucky and Ace when they first enter cyberspace, and one of the spider cabbies that navigates the World Wide Web via taxi.

 

 

Auntie Virus, who guards cyberspace against pests, and the shopkeeper cat Lucky and Ace first meet upon entering a computer game, who gives them information on how to defeat the virus.

 

 

Slimey, the red slime who joins Lucky and Ace on their quest in the computer game, and his mother who comes to take him home at the adventure's end.

 

The large fat unicorn, enraged hippo, and gentleman water buffalo Lucky and Ace meet in a strange series of events leading to the cure for the virus.

 

 

One of the wood-chucking woodchucks Lucky and Ace meet in the forest, and the odd half-elephant Sphinx creature whose riddles they need to answer in order to find the cure.

 

 

And the little memory creatures Lucky and Ace meet upon finding the virus, and the giant ram which may be part of the key to defeating the virus once and for all.

Here is a Pound Puppies fanfiction, which is the third in a series created by fellow writer brave kid and me. In this story, which is a nod to the movie Pound Puppies and the Legend of Big Paw, a technical malfunction with Strudel's time machine sends the Pound Puppies and their kitty pals back to 1959; while trying to figure out how to get home again, they meet some new friends, try to foil a villain's plan to steal the artifact that provides Puppy Power, and contend with a mysterious creature in the woods. Please enjoy!

 

Pound Puppies Generation Gap: Back to the '50s

 

BTW, here are a few pictures of the story's characters:

 

The Pound Puppies in their '50s garb. Lucky's outfit mirrors that of Cooler in the movie, only with the colors reversed, and Cookie's is similar to that of Charlemange.

 

 

The Kennel Kittens in their '50s outfits. Squeak's garb very much conveys his tough persona.

 

 

The Super Secret Pup Club in their '50s clothes. Cupcake's outfit is a color swap of Brighteyes' outfit in the movie, and Patches' outfit is a color swap of Whopper's.

 

 

Sparky, who in the present day helps Strudel with her time machine; like his friend Mr. Nut Nut, he's also not completely all there.

 

Niblet's girlfriend Giblet(Who first appeared in the episode, "When Niblet met Giblet.") in her present day outfit and somewhat simplified '50s outfit. Like her boyfriend, she also is not completely all there.

 

Twiggy(Who first appeared in the episode, "Taboo.") gives the group a guided tour of the pound and the museum when they first arrive in the '50s. Barlow(Who first appeared in the episode, "Barlow.") is quite lackadaisical, but also very polite.

 

 

Prince(Who first appeared in the episode, "Fright at the Museum.") is the resident "smart one" at this new pound. His appearance is a combination of those of Howler and Hairball in the movie.

 

Bobo, Chauncey, and Camellia(The former two of whom first appeared in the episode, "Once a Ralph, Always a Ralph," and the latter first appeared in the episode, "There's Something About Camellia.") are three pups whom the Pup Club quickly befriend. Bobo is a cheerful, energetic little fellow, Chauncey is a polite, classy sort, and Camellia is friendly and amiable, but likes to imitate people(Though this trait of hers might come in handy later...)

 

 

Miss Petunia the mama Golden Retriever, and her three little puppy children(Who frst appeared in the episode, "Pound Preemies; I added the name Lulu.) She's similar to Colette, the mother dog from the movie, in both looks and personality.

 



Luke and Maddie, the two Tammy and Jeff-esque teenagers who run the new pound.

 

Martin McEvil, this story's Marvin McNasty-esque villain who plans to steal the Rosetta Bone, which enables Puppy Power, and take over the world.

 

 

McEvil's hopelessly inadequate(And ironically named) henchmen, Slim and Jumbo. Their appearances are based on those of two certain dognappers, and their personalities mirror those of Lumpy and Bones, McNasty's henchmen; Slim's appearance is also based slightly on that of Lloyd the dogcatcher from Disney's Bolt.*

 

 

And last but by no means least is the Saspooch. Similar to Big Paw, this legendary creature was said to have guarded the Rosetta Bone in ancient Egypt. However, he's said to only be a myth...or is he?

 

 

*More on that movie later...























 

 

 

 

Book Review: Little Wolf's Haunted Hall for Small Horrors by Ian Whybrow

 Here's a review of the third volume of this very cool and highy underrated series.

 

Little Wolf's Uncle Bigbad, proving that he won't let a little thing like death stop him, has returned as a ghost with many dark and spooky powers, and LW, along with his buddies Yeller, Stubbs, and guest pest Smellybreff, who plan to open a Scare School to help little critters get their scream on, persuade him to be their "School Spirit." Uncle Bigbad obliges, but, apparently being just as untrustworthy as he was in life, he makes things too scary, and ends up scaring the pants off of their students...

...literally!



 



 

Uncle Bigbad makes a wager with the group, promising to share his power of finding lost treasure with them if they can find someone who can stand up to him for five minutes. LW searches high and low, before coming across a bear cub named Normus who's super-strong, brave, and a bit of a bully. Normus proves to be more than a match for Uncle Bigbad's dark powers, but this endeavor may end up being more trouble than it's worth, because Normus spends most of his time bullying and bashing LW and his friends. Can Little and his crew get Normus on their side in time to win the bet?

Not only is that rude, but also very unsanitary! :-p

 

 

 

My thoughts: One of the more interesting books in this series with many exciting moments. This volume gives us our first in-depth look at the various denizens of the Frettning Forest(turtles, lions, bats, alligators, weasels et al.) as well as more of the various surrounding areas. Normus' briefly-seen family are good, well-written characters, as is, of course, Uncle Bigbad. I must admit that Mister Twister's unexplained villain status does still bug me a little bit, but other than this, I had no major complaints. All in all, an excellent and very enjoyable addition to this series, and a must-have for any Little Wolf aficionado.

Book Review: Little Wolf's Diary of Daring Deeds by Ian Whybrow

Here's a review of the second volume in this very nifty book series.

 

 

 

Little Wolf is planning to open an Adventure Academy where his(late) Uncle Bigbad's Cunning College once was, and is pleased for his joke-loving cousin Yeller(named for his REALLY LOUD VOICE!*) to come join him. Unfortunately, he soon becomes doubly disappointed when not only do his parents decide not to come stay with them, but his little brother Smellybreff does. Now, LW had indicated several times in the previous book that he didn't like Smellybreff very much, and in this volume we truly see why. Smells is the most whiny, bossy, greedy, pesky, ill-mannered little brat you'd ever care to meet!(And those are just some of his good points! :-D) His parents, very obliviously however, think that Smells is cute and can do no wrong, possibly indicating that his misdeeds occur in their absence.

Mr. Big Stuff himself.

 

 





Eventually, LW and his friends get a call from a Mister Marvo who agrees to help them set up the attractions at Adventure Academy; unfortunately, little do they know that he's actually Mister Twister the fox, Uncle Bigbad's former business partner and master of disguise, who cubnaps Smellybreff and steals Uncle Bigbad's treasure. Now it's up to Little, Yeller, and their new travelling buddy Stubbs the crow(known for mostly saying "Ark" with a few other words, occasionally) to save the little pest.

Along the way, they face off with a mountain lion, explore several strange towns, climb the Grim Mountains, visit a hot springs, charter a boat, and encounter a friendly(and very helpful) group of whales. Will they be able to rescue Smells and retrieve the treasue before it's too late?

 

 

My thoughts: Although this book had its interesting moments, I personally didn't think it was one of this series' stronger entries. To be fair, its purpose seemed to be mainly to establish the characters and storyline for the series in general. Out of fairness also, the crew's adventures and the locations they visit are quite interesting, and there are some good moments of character development as the crew attempt to overcome their worst fears: Stubbs' fear of flying, LW's fear of loud noises, and Yeller's fear of snow and cold weather(The latter being because the cold weakens his voice).

 

My only real major beef with this book was:

 

Mister Twister's sudden villain status; in the previous book, he was a good guy, and even warned LW not to trust Uncle Bigbad. Granted, the series did need an antagonist, but still.

 

Despite its minor flaws, this book is by no means terrible. In fact, it's a very good, fun, and very well-written book with many memorable characters. A must have for any Little Wolf fan.

 

 

Buy it on Amazon!

 

 

 

 

*In this respect, he takes after Uncle Bigbad a little bit.
