While Newman was on his adventures getting cookies to Santa’s Elves….. there was another problem that needed solving.
We still have to find Gallivanting Gryphon and get the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ back from him!
Dee Dee and Lulu need to find these ๐ชจ stones ๐ชจ and get them back SOON! They need to have them in less than two weeks!! Their ๐ฐ๐ฝโโ๏ธ humans ๐คต๐ฝโโ๏ธ are getting ๐ married and they need them for the ceremony!
Who will help them get these ๐ชจ stones ๐ชจ back?!?! I think we have a couple of ๐ฌ๐ง British ๐๐ฝโโ๏ธ ๐ต๐ฝ detectives ๐ง that are up for the hunt!
DeeDee and Lulu knew they needed to hire professional help to get the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ back from Gallivanting Gryphon!
They decided to call ๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ , the most successful pooch private investigators!
๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ were happy to jump in to help find the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ! Because they are well connected they had already heard about this dastardly deed and had intel to share with DeeDee and Lulu!!!!
How would they possibly know about this?!? They live in London!
๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ (Part 3)
๐ง Sherbosco Holmes is an internationally acclaimed detective and he is often roped into assisting ๐ฌ๐ง MI6 and Scotland Yard๐ต๐ฝ when there are special circumstances, especially involving ๐ canine criminals and bow-wow bandits ๐ถ!
๐ง Sherbosco had already heard of ๐ฟ Gallivanting Gryphon! ๐ฟ Gryphon has found himself unintentionally wrapped up in an international smuggling ring! He was somehow coaxed into taking the Charlevoix Stones from ๐ซ DeeDee and Lulu ๐ชถ to sell to the evil Prof Muttriarty!
๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ needed to figure out why ๐ฟ Gallivanting Gryphon would do this! From what they devised in their research, he seemed like a really good bloke outside of international stone theft!
Our pooch professionals were able to catch up with ๐ฟ Gallivanting Gryphon and questioned him as to why…. stay tuned for details on their interrogation!
๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ (Part 4)
The detective duo sat down with ๐ฟ Gallivanting Gryphon and had a chat with him! They learnt that Gryphon took the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ because he thought ๐ซ DeeDee and Lulu ๐ชถ were so clever and smart, they could find more…. ๐ฟ Gallivanting Gryphon’s judgement was also clouded with grief as he very recently lost his little sidekick Pippin to the Rainbow Bridge. He didn’t know what he was getting into!
Muttriarty also made an offer he couldn’t refuse! Instead of a ๐ชจ stones ๐ชจ SMUGGLING operation though, he thought he was going into a SNUGGLING operation! He was going to trade the ๐ชจ stones ๐ชจ for hugs๐ค! He was sad and he just wanted more HUGS and snuggling to make him feel better! He never meant to hurt anyone.
He said he came to the ๐ฌ๐ง UK to trade the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ but he was TRICKED and Muttriarty made off with the ๐ชจ magical stones ๐ชจ…… but not before learning that Muttriarty was collecting ๐ชจ magical stones ๐ชจ to use in his giant space laser. He knew where Muttriarty was going! He could lead the way!
๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ (Part 5)
๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ learnt from Gryphon that the mischievous Muttriarty was headed to Bradwell-on-Sea in Essex. 15 years ago in this coastal village, there was a nuclear power plant, not running, but still standing. Prof Muttriarty played a role in the decomissioning of this power plant. Little did the contracting team know, Muttriarty was secretly collecting radioactive material and hiding it away, while also starting work on his space laser. No one knew he was building a vault under this power station. It was brilliant! All the infrastructure was there to power his laser, he just needed the right raw materials to make it work!!
That is where ๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ would be able to find the menacing Muttriarty.
Muttriarty made it back to is lair and greeted his sister and co-conspirator, Mischievous Mollie.
Muttriarty: Mollie, I’m back! I have the ๐ชจ STONES!
Mollie: Did you say SCONES!! I LOVE SCONES!
Muttriarty: Nooooo Mollie, I said I was orf to get the magical ๐ชจ STONES! STONES MOLLIE!!
Mollie: I was certain you said mouthwatering SCONES when you left! I don’t want ๐ชจ STONES! They are yucky!
Muttriarty: Of course their yucky, they’re inedible Mollie!
Mollie: But those shufty fancy SCONES! Let me try one…..
Muttriarty: Good Golly Miss. Mollie, they’re NOT SCONES!!! They are ๐ชจ STONES for my โก space laser!!!
Mollie: That’s no fun, I want scones.
Muttriarty: I’m chuffed to bits! We are going to take over the ๐ world!
๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ (Part 7)
Muttriarty has been working all weekend even through all the noisy ๐ New Year Celebrations! He is getting his โกspace laser ready and he’s almost finished! He just needs to place the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ in the correct place to refract and condense the ๐ light. The โก laser will then be all powerful! He will then use the โก laser to take over the ๐ world!
He’s so tired though from working all weekend, he needed to take a nap! He will rest and then place the ๐ชจ stones in the morning and then ๐ WORLD DOMINATION!
Muttriarty: Mollie, watch the door! I am going to nap! Make sure NO ONE comes in here! Keep the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ safe!
Mollie: OK! I will keep watch. Do we have any scones to eat yet?
Muttriarty: No MOLLIE! WE DON’T HAVE SCONES!
Mollie: I just wanted to make sure!
Muttriarty: Just watch the door!
Mollie: Okay, I just really wish we had scones.
Little did Muttriarty know, ๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ had tracked him to is lair and they had been keeping surveillance all weekend!
Now that Muttriarty was taking a break, they had a plan!
As soon as Muttriarty was gone, Mollie heard knocking at the door. Who could it be!?
She opened the door and saw a lovely plate of SCONES!!! She knew they MUST be for her!!
She didn’t even think twice about protecting the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ! She was so hungry!
Mischievous Mollie ๐ ran right outside without any consideration for closing the๐ชdoor and started eating the scones!!
Little did she know there were two schnauzers keeping watch and ready to go in and nab the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ!
That is in fact what they did! And so quickly, she hadn’t even finished eating her scones yet! Just like that ๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ retrieved the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ for ๐ซ DeeDee and Lulu ๐ชถ!
Now, they needed to figure out a way to notify ๐ซ DeeDee and Lulu ๐ชถ they have the ๐ชจ stones and the wedding can proceed! They have three days to get the ๐ชจ stones to the United States (Michigan) for the wedding ceremony of ๐ซ DeeDee and Lulu’s ๐ชถ humans!!
Will they make it in time?!? โฐ
As ๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ were making off with the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ, Muttriarty came looking for Mollie!
Muttriarty: Mollie!!!! Where are you!?! WHERE ARE MY ๐ชจ STONES!!
Mollie: Huh? What?! What ๐ชจ stones?
Muttriarty: THE ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ!!
Mollie: Oh, huh? They were just there!!!
Muttriarty: Well, now they are NOT! Where are they?!?!
Mollie: Uh, I think I saw two schnauzers……
Muttriarty: NOOO! NOT ๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson ๐ฉบ ?!?!?!?!?! They have my ๐ชจ stones! We must find them and get them back!!!
AND what is that all over your FACE?! ๐ถ
Mollie: Uh, nothing.
๐ Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipsonย ๐ฉบ made off to the Colchester airport with the ๐ชจ Charlevoix Stones ๐ชจ! They need to catch their flight and get to Michigan ASAP!
This good doggie went to visit ๐ Santa โ๏ธ to tell him all the things ๐ he would like for ๐ Christmas! He had quite the list!!
๐ โฎ๏ธ World Peace ๐๏ธ ๐…. ๐ซ No more Cancer ๐ซ for ANYONE, All the ๐ฟ๐ถ shelter animals ๐น๐ฐ to find homes and for Newman to have a lifetime of ๐ฆด๐ฆด snacks, ๐ง cheese and biscuits!
Well, ๐ Santa โ๏ธ has been working on a majority of that list for a long time….. and knows it will take some time to fulfill part of his requests…. But getting Newman treats and snacks would be no problem!
But, in return for a LIFETIME of treats, ๐ Santa โ๏ธ asked Newman ๐ to do something for him! He would like him to make ๐ช cookies for ๐ Santa โ๏ธ to take to his ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Elves ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ back at the โ๏ธ North Pole ๐๏ธ.
Newman agreed!๐๐พ ๐ Santa โ๏ธ also added one very important stipulation! The cookies need to have the โจ magical sprinkles! โจ! But where can they find magical sprinkles? Do you know where Newman is able to find the โจ magical sprinkles! โจ?
Newman had NO idea where to find the โจ magical sprinkles! โจ!
Even though he didn’t know, he knew who to call to ask! BELLA! ๐๏ธ
His friend Bella has been a traveler throughout the hills and heights of Madison and beyond….. she would surely know where to find the โจ magical sprinkles! โจ!
So, Newman called her!
Newman: Hey Bella! Happy Howlidays!
Bella: Hey Newman! I heard you were lucky enough to see ๐ Santa โ๏ธ !
Newman: Yes, and he needs our help! He needs me to make cookies with โจ magical sprinkles! โจ! Do you know where I can find them?
Bella: If it is โจ magical sprinkles โจ you need, you must travel to the Mills of Nankin to the keepers of all the sprinkles, DeeDee and Lulu. They will help you with your quest!
Newman: Thanks Bella! For helping, I will make you some magical cookies too!
Bella: Those sound delicious! Thank you Newman! Can’t wait!
Stay tuned…. will DeeDee and Lulu have enough โจ magical sprinkles โจ to share with Newman!?
Newman was able to get directions and raced over to the Mills of Nankin to find Dee Dee and Lulu.
Will they have the โจ magical sprinkles โจ? Will Newman have enough time to make cookies for ๐ Santa โ๏ธ?
Newman rushed to the Mills of Nankin and found Dee Dee and Lulu! But, he was too late!! All the magical sprinkles are gone!!
Dee Dee and Lulu told Newman not to fret, they could make more magical sprinkles but they would need magical dust from the moon! Newman was shocked! The Moon?!? Yes, the Moon!
Their friend Seamus has been harvesting magical, mystical dust from the moon they use to make the magical sprinkles! ! They need more to make the sprinkles for Newman!!
Good NEWS!!! Seamus is at the moon NOW!!! He is going to bring back MAGICAL DUST soon! Will it be in time to make magical sprinkles! for Newman to make cookies for Santa !?!
Newman knew he had to contact Seamus ASAP to let him know he needed to hurry back with the magic dust from the MOON!
So, he headed to Mission Control to radio Seamus!
Newman: Mission Control to Seamus, come in Seamus!
Seamus: Seamus here, is that you Newman?!
Newman: YES! Seamus, I need your help! I need you to hurry back to Earth with your magic dust! I need Dee Dee and Lulu to make magical sprinkles for me so I am able to make magical cookies for Santa and his Elves !
Seamus: Copy that! Loading up now and heading back to Earth.
Newman: God Speed Seamus! Be safe!
Will Seamus be back soon enough!?! Will Dee Dee and Lulu have enough time to make the magical sprinkles ??
Our friend Seamus is loaded up and heading back to Earth!!
Soon Dee Dee and Lulu will be able to make more magical sprinkles for Newman!
Yay!! Seamus made it back to Earth and was able to deliver the magic dust to Dee Dee and Lulu!!
To help save on time, Seamus offered to help them make the magical sprinkles too! You see, Seamus is not only an astronaut, he is also a 5 Star Muttchelin chef too!!
How long will it take them to make the magical sprinkles ???
Uh ohhhhh!! Houston, we have a problem!!
When the gang tried to collect all their tools and ingredients to make the Magical Sprinkles , Dee Dee and Lulu realized they were missing their special rocks they use to grind down the magic dust from the moon! These are special rocks as they come from Northern Michigan and they are called Charlevoix stones! These special stones are needed to make the sprinkles even more magical!
Where could they have gone!?! Who took the Charlevoix stones?!?!
There’s something brewing, but is isn’t magical sprinkles !!
Newman and his gang didn’t know they were being watched this whole time!!!
Newman & Seamus realized they had a thief on their hands!! So, they scampered off to their security room to review recent video surveillance at the Mills of Nankin.
There was a lot of video to review as it is a popular area for family photos and pictures, so many people coming and going…. but they spotted him!! The dastardly dog was caught on camera with the Charlevoix stones!!
Seamus knew that face…. even with the mask…. he knew that was his old friend Gallivanting Gryphon, former fluffy friend turned into the Bow-wow Bandit!
Seamus was shocked though! Gryphon’s thievery was typically only treats and snacks…. never something of this value!!
Why did Gryphon take the stones? What is he trying to do? Will they get the stones back?
The gang set out to find Gallivanting Gryphon and the stonesโฆ so they started posting flyers all over the town! ๐๏ธ
THEY NEED OUR HELP FINDING THE THEM!! KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR GRYPHON AND THE CHARLEVOIX STONES๐ชจ!
Newman has an incoming call from CHARLEVOIX, MI!
Newman: Uh, hello? HI! This is Newman
Brew: Hey, is this the chap looking for Charlevoix stones? My name is Brew… I saw your flyer.
Newman: Yes! Do you have Dee Dee and Lulu’s stones?!
Brew: I don’t have THEIR stones, but I have some extra Petoskey and Charlevoix stones if you want to come get some! They are everywhere where I live! We have some to share!
Newman: Maybe we can use yours until we find Dee Dee and Lulu’s stones!! Thank you so much Brew! I will send one of our fastest friends to come get them from you!
Brew: No problem, happy to help! Tell whomever you send to meet me at The Spare Key Winery!
Newman: Sure will, thank you friend!
This is so great! Newman can borrow some stones until they find Dee Dee and Lulu’s!! He has a call to make!
Newman knew he had to send his fastest friend to get to Charlevoix quickly!! So he called his GREYT friend Ginger!
Newman: Hey Ginger! I hope you’re GREYT! I have a favor to ask!
Ginger: Sure Newman! Hey, I heard you met ๐ Santa โ๏ธ! What was he like? Is he ๐ช magical?
Newman: ๐ Santa โ๏ธ is very cool! I will tell you more about him later! But for now, he needs me to make ๐ช cookies for his ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Elves ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ and I need โจ magical sprinkles โจ to do that and now I need Charlevoix stones ๐ชจ to make the โจ magical sprinkles โจ! It’s a long story Ginger! I’ll have to fill you in another time! Are you able to run up to Charlevoix for me and pick up some stones from our new friend Brewโ?
Ginger: Sure Newman! I’d love to take a run!! Text me the address and I will go now!
Newman: Thank you Ginger! When I get these โจ magical sprinkles โจ and ๐ช cookies made, I will save some for you!
Ginger: That would be awesome Newman! I LOVE COOKIES!
Despite the snow and rain, she is on her way! She’s so fast she will make it in no time!
Ginger made it safely to Charlevoix! YAY!!! She found Brewโ and was able to take a tour of his family’s ๐ฅ winery! It is really cool!
Ginger secured the mystical stones๐ชจ from Brewโ and is headed back to the Mills of Nankin.
Will Ginger make it back with the stones๐ชจ! Will they be able to make the โจ magical sprinkles โจ in time?
Ginger was so ๐จ fast, she made it in record ๐ time!!
Ginger met up with Newman and they are both jumping for JOY!
โญ TEAMWORK โญ
After celebrating, Newman and Seamus got right to work making the Magical Sprinkles from the magic dust!
Seamus told Newman he would show him the ancient method passed on to him by is Irish ancestors to make the Magical Sprinkles extra special!
Newman was so excited! He was ready to learn! He wanted to make Magical Sprinkles for EVERYONE!!
The recipe Seamus taught Newman was so good, Newman had to eat some of the Magical Sprinkles
Newman says they are DELICIOUS!
Quality control is very important to Newman! He wants these Magical Sprinkles to be perfect! So the cookies will be extra special for Santa !!
Dee Dee and Lulu were able to reopen their shop and start giving Magical Sprinkles away again to anyone that needed them!
Seamus and Newman helped them get back to business…… but, Dee Dee and Lulu still didn’t have their stones back! Even though Newman found new Charlevoix and Petoskey Stones…… they still needed their two stones back! They needed them back for a special event in January!
They need help to track down Gallivanting Gryphon! They need to know if he still had their stones or if he gave them away!! Who can help Dee Dee and Lulu get their stones back?
Now that Newman has Magical Sprinkles, he can make cookies for Santa and his Elves !
Newman has one problem!! He doesn’t know how to make cookies!!! He doesn’t have a good recipe for making cookies with Magical Sprinkles either.
Can you help Newman?!?! Do you know how to make cookies? Do you have a recipe you can share with Newman to make cookies with Magical Sprinkles??
Newman has been taking notes and devising a recipe for the magical cookies for Santaโs Elves . He heard from friends about different recipe ideas, proper and best ingredients as well as baking time for the cookies!
While doing his research, friends Vanya and Stella stopped by to give Newman a gift! You see, they recently went on a trip to VIENNA! How fun!
They brought Newman back a cookie stamp to make his cookies EXTRA special and for Santa and his Elves to know the cookies were made by a very cool DOG!!
They were also hoping Newman would make THEM some cookies too! Especially since they heard these cookies will have Magical Sprinkles !!
Now that Newman has all the Magical Sprinkles he could ever want, he needs to get his groceries for making cookies!!
Only the best ingredients for Santa and his Elves . Newman is going to try and locally source as many things he can, like the butter, eggs, sugar and flour!
Newman needs to get a lot of each ingredient, heโs promised cookies to so many people now!
Newman received so many recommendations for how to make the ๐ช cookies, but ultimately he settled on one from his friend Archie!
It was a recipe from his human, handed down to her from her babusya when she lived in ๐ปUkraine!
Archie asked Newman if he could make extra cookies and possibly send them to his cousins in ๐ปUkraine!! They could use all the extra love they can get right now!
OF COURSE! Newman doesn’t know how he is going to get them there, but he’s going to try!!
Archie called his friend, Ralphie, and told him all about the ๐ช cookies and Newman. Ralphie the Rescue Dog is a grass roots organizer that likes to spread awareness about very important causes!
Ralphie happens to be an expert about ๐ป Ukraine and all the things they need right now! Ralphie was excited that Newman agreed to help! Only one problem… Newman won’t be able to send cookies to ๐ปUkraine. It would cost too much and they may never make it!
So, Ralphie called Newman and told him he should make a BUNCH of cookies, like A LOT of cookies and sell them to raise money for ๐ป Ukrainian organizations! Because Newman is such a great guy, HE AGREED!!! He wants to help!! Newman is going to need to make A LOT of cookies now!!
Newman hasn’t checked in for a hot minute, he’s been SO SO BUSY!! He’s back now and wanted to catch everyone up on what he has been doing!! He’s been making ๐ช cookies! LOTS AND LOTS OF COOKIES!!! He needed to make them for the ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Elves ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ and all his friends he promised them to!
He can’t wait to show everyone how good they look! He just needs to finish decorating!
Before Newman decorated the cookies, he had a thought, what if they taste terrible!!?? So, Newman took a break and tasted the cookies to make sure they were up to the standard of what Santa and his Elves would like! They are DELICIOUS!!! The humans will love them!! Quality control is SO important for Newman! Now he needs to add the Magical Sprinkles and package them up and send them to Santa and his Elves
Newman found out that ๐ Santa โ๏ธ has his own ๐พ dogs too! Rosie and Riley! He couldn’t send ๐ Santa โ๏ธ cookies for his ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Elves ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ and not send biscuits for Rosie and Riley! He decided to take a trip to his FAVORITE dog bakery to get Rosie and Riley some of their own special ๐ช cookies!!
Newman has been so busy he has barely had any time to sleep! Making ๐ช cookies, getting biscuits for Rosie and Riley!! He’s so tired, he decided he needed a โ coffee! He still has so much to do!! Finish decorating the ๐ช cookies, package everything up AND get it sent out in time for ๐ Santa โ๏ธ to get it on Christmas DAY!
Newman was able to finish decorating the cookies and get them packaged up and sent off to Santa and his Elves . Newman wears many hats and he just so happens to work for UPS!! He was able to get a really good deal with his employee discount and was able to do OVERNIGHT ship for the cookies ! He is hoping the weather isn’t going to delay the cookies to the North Pole
Guuuuuuys!!! ๐ Santa โ๏ธ just made it back to the โ๏ธ North Pole ๐๏ธ after a long night of delivering packages to children ๐ง๐พ ๐ฆ๐ป all over the ๐ world! He just finished up in Alaska and made it home safe! He was so excited to find ๐ฆ packages waiting for him!!! They made it safely and ON TIME!!! โฐ
UPS did a great job delivering! Also, reindeer didn’t intercept either! Now that ๐ Santa โ๏ธ has them….. will he give them to his ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Elves ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ or will he eat them all himself?!?!
๐ Santa โ๏ธ would never eat ๐ช cookies that weren’t meant for him! He set the packages down and went to tell his ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Elves ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ there were ๐ช cookies for them!! He also told Rosie and Riley there were biscuits for them from Newman too!!! They were SO excited!! Everyone was so happy!
OH NOOOOOO!!! We have a problem!!! Something happened none of us could have anticipated!!!!
When ๐พ Rosie and Riley went to eat their dog biscuits, they ate all the ๐ช cookies too!!! This is terrible! Now the ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ Elves ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ won’t get their ๐ช cookies!! Newman wasn’t able to get them their cookies, so does this mean Santa won’t give him his wish of a lifetime of snacks and treats?!?!
Newman is very smart and clever! While he trusted UPS would get the ๐ฆ package to the North Pole on time, he wanted a back up plan just in case! Newman contacted his identical twin brother, Truman, and asked him to mail a second ๐ฆ package for him! Truman works for the USPS and was able to get a second set of ๐ช cookies and biscuits in the mail! It just so happens to be Monday, December 26 in the โ๏ธ North Pole ๐๏ธ and the mail is running today!! As ๐ Santa โ๏ธ realized Rosie and Riley ate the ๐ช cookies he noticed his mail carrier drop mail and packages at his mailbox. He went to check the mail and found another container of ๐ช cookies!! Newman will get his lifetime supply of snacks and treats!!!
