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 πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨ back from him!
Dee Dee and Lulu need to find these πͺ¨ stones πͺ¨ and get them back SOON! They need to have them in less than two weeks!! Their π°π½ββοΈ humans π€΅π½ββοΈ are getting π married and they need them for the ceremony!
Who will help them get these πͺ¨ stones πͺ¨ back?!?! I think we have a couple of π¬π§ British ππ½ββοΈ π΅π½ detectives π§ that are up for the hunt!

DeeDee and Lulu knew they needed to hire professional help to get the πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨ back from Gallivanting Gryphon!
They decided to call π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί , the most successful pooch private investigators!
π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί were happy to jump in to help find the πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨! 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!

π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί (Part 3)
π§ Sherbosco Holmes is an internationally acclaimed detective and he is often roped into assisting π¬π§ MI6 and Scotland Yardπ΅π½ when there are special circumstances, especially involving π canine criminals and bow-wow bandits πΆ!
π§ Sherbosco had already heard of πΏ Gallivanting Gryphon! πΏ Gryphon has found himself unintentionally wrapped up in an international smuggling ring! He was somehow coaxed into taking the Charlevoix Stones from π« DeeDee and Lulu πͺΆ to sell to the evil Prof Muttriarty!
π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί needed to figure out why πΏ 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 πΏ Gallivanting Gryphon and questioned him as to why…. stay tuned for details on their interrogation!

π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί (Part 4)
The detective duo sat down with πΏ Gallivanting Gryphon and had a chat with him! They learnt that Gryphon took the πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨ because he thought π« DeeDee and Lulu πͺΆ were so clever and smart, they could find more…. πΏ 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 πͺ¨ stones πͺ¨ SMUGGLING operation though, he thought he was going into a SNUGGLING operation! He was going to trade the πͺ¨ stones πͺ¨ for hugsπ€! 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 π¬π§ UK to trade the πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨ but he was TRICKED and Muttriarty made off with the πͺ¨ magical stones πͺ¨…… but not before learning that Muttriarty was collecting πͺ¨ magical stones πͺ¨ to use in his giant space laser. He knew where Muttriarty was going! He could lead the way!

π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί (Part 5)
π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί 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 π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί 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 πͺ¨ STONES!
Mollie: Did you say SCONES!! I LOVE SCONES!
Muttriarty: Nooooo Mollie, I said I was orf to get the magical πͺ¨ STONES! STONES MOLLIE!!
Mollie: I was certain you said mouthwatering SCONES when you left! I don’t want πͺ¨ 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 πͺ¨ STONES for my β‘ space laser!!!
Mollie: That’s no fun, I want scones.
Muttriarty: I’m chuffed to bits! We are going to take over the π world!

π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί (Part 7)
Muttriarty has been working all weekend even through all the noisy π New Year Celebrations! He is getting his β‘space laser ready and he’s almost finished! He just needs to place the πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨ in the correct place to refract and condense the π light. The β‘ laser will then be all powerful! He will then use the β‘ laser to take over the π world!
He’s so tired though from working all weekend, he needed to take a nap! He will rest and then place the πͺ¨ stones in the morning and then π WORLD DOMINATION!
Muttriarty: Mollie, watch the door! I am going to nap! Make sure NO ONE comes in here! Keep the πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨ 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, π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί 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 πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨! She was so hungry!

Mischievous Mollie π ran right outside without any consideration for closing theπͺdoor and started eating the scones!!
Little did she know there were two schnauzers keeping watch and ready to go in and nab the πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨!
That is in fact what they did! And so quickly, she hadn’t even finished eating her scones yet! Just like that π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί retrieved the πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨ for π« DeeDee and Lulu πͺΆ!
Now, they needed to figure out a way to notify π« DeeDee and Lulu πͺΆ they have the πͺ¨ stones and the wedding can proceed! They have three days to get the πͺ¨ stones to the United States (Michigan) for the wedding ceremony of π« DeeDee and Lulu’s πͺΆ humans!!
Will they make it in time?!? β°

As π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί were making off with the πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨, Muttriarty came looking for Mollie!
Muttriarty: Mollie!!!! Where are you!?! WHERE ARE MY πͺ¨ STONES!!
Mollie: Huh? What?! What πͺ¨ stones?
Muttriarty: THE πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨!!
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 π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. Kipson π©Ί ?!?!?!?!?! They have my πͺ¨ stones! We must find them and get them back!!!
AND what is that all over your FACE?! πΆ
Mollie: Uh, nothing.

π Sherbosco Holmes & Dr. KipsonΒ π©Ί made off to the Colchester airport with the πͺ¨ Charlevoix Stones πͺ¨! They need to catch their flight and get to Michigan ASAP!
