Easter Parade!
It’s Cowabelle and am I ever exhausted! What a day! The parade was so much fun, but it didn’t go exactly as planned. You know how I was kind of disappointed about not being chosen to be the Queen of the Easter Parade? Well, in the end, I kind of was. Everything WAS going fine. Millie was perched on the throne on top of the Easter Float. She looked so cute in my tiara. She was holding a basket full of chocolate eggs, and all she really had to do was toss the eggs out to the crowd and wave. Not so tough, right? Except halfway through the parade route she stops. I was her helper and stood beside her smiling and waving and it was my job to refill her basket from a big box of eggs hidden under the throne. When she stopped throwing them out to the crowd I asked what was wrong and she said she was running out of eggs and she wanted to keep the rest for herself. I explained that there were a lot more eggs and I even tried to scoop some into the basket, … Read more
PJ’s Spring Fashions!
PJ Collie here, with an Easter fashion report! Today’s parade has brought out the best and brightest in the way of Easter fashions. I brought my camera and clicked away when I saw some truly note-worthy outfits. Check them out! Henrietta Hippo is looking quite stunning in a bright pink flowered dress. I love her pretty sandals and funky sunglasses. The pink ribbon tops the whole outfit off perfectly! Shawn is rocking this lime green pants-and-green jacket combo. If it was any day other than Easter, I might wonder if this outfit works – but since today is all about bright colors and looking dapper, I think Shawn has nailed it! The neon green laces are a fun touch, as is the bowler hat. Oh, and the bunny nose. Nice. Kimmy Koala knows how to do Easter! Not only does she have terrific hippie-chic jeans, but she’s also got a fun pink hat with ears! On Easter, everyone is a little bit bunny! OK, so I admit I kind of LOVE pink … Read more
Postcard from Laurabeard – an amazing discovery
Dear Nibbles, We found it! We found the island! And you would never believe it! There are loads and loads of these trees with the chocolate growing on them. We searched along the beach until we found a path leading into the trees. As we followed the path we could see large footprints in the dirt. We seemed to stay on the path forever, when suddenly the trees parted and we came to a small building in the middle of a clearing. On one side of the building was a conveyor belt carrying bucketloads of the big brown pods up the side of the building and dropping them into a chute on the roof. We walked around the building to find another conveyor belt coming out of a hatch on the wall. And you will never believe what was coming out! There, on the conveyor belt, were basket after basket filled with colorful eggs! Nibbles, I think we found the island where Easter eggs come from!!! We didn’t see any signs of anyone around, but at one point a shadow fell across me and I was sure I saw the shadow of two big ears! But when I turned around … Read more
Nibbles Hippo: Reporter
It’s me, Nibbles Hippo, here to recap all the awesome stuff that’s been happening so far today. The day got off to an exciting start with an Easter egg hunt at Fluffington’s mansion. Every year, the entire town goes to find the eggs. Grownups, kids – everyone! And every year, one egg made of solid gold is hidden among the rest. This year, Salley found it! She was so excited. Purr-Cilla just glared at her and stuck out her tongue. Jealous much? Millie is now 100% sure that Roberta actually IS the Easter Bunny. She saw Roberta putting a basket of goodies on her porch and, well, that pretty much sealed the deal! Roberta tried to explain that she just made the basket for Millie, as a gift, but Millie would hear nothing of it. Roberta eventually gave up trying to explain, and just let Millie hug her and thank her profusely. Speaking of Millie, everyone is looking forward to seeing her in the parade – which starts in an hour, by the way! I’ve got to get going and get a good place up front, so I can see all the action! Happy Easter!
It’s Time to Celebrate Spring!
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the air is warm – that means one thing: spring is here! After a chilly winter, what better way to celebrate spring than by playing with your pet and enjoying a chocolate egg or two? We hope you love the Springtime Celebration gift in your Dock, and that you and your pet have a wonderful day together!
Cowabelle Makes a Peace Offering
*Sigh* I’ve been thinking about how badly I behaved with Millie today and I am starting to wonder which one of us is really the little kid here. I know I should have been more mature. I guess a part of me is still hurting about the fact that Millie is Queen of the Easter Parade and not me. But that’s no excuse for behaving the way I did and Millie was right to fire me. So today I took one of my most precious possessions over to Millie and Molly’s house to make a peace offering to her. Once, when I was a little younger, I took part in a beauty pageant and I actually won! Maybe that was why I was so anxious to be Queen of the Parade. I was remembering how good it felt to have all that attention showered on me. Anyway, now it’s Millie’s turn, so I offered her the tiara that I won in the pageant. I thought it would be perfect for her to wear during the Parade. At first Millie was still mad but when she saw the tiara glittering in my hand I … Read more
Cowabelle’s Apology
Dear Diary, Well, my mom heard my stomping around earlier today. She came up to my room and asked what was wrong. I told her about my fight with Millie and guess what she said? She said that I, Cowabelle Cowoline, had to apologize to Millie Pig! She said that ultimately it’s Millie’s decision to choose her parade attire. Really? She’s only a kid! She doesn’t know the first thing about fashion! But Mom said that my fashion choices weren’t always the best when I was little, and that I should try to be more patient. She also said that if I really wanted to be in the parade, I would have to get back into Millie’s good graces. Ugh. So guess where I’m going? Millie’s house. Mom suggested that I might even consider bringing a peace offering of some kind. Whatever that means. Hopefully Millie is in a better mood by the time I get to her place. - Cowabelle

Out of the Parade?
Dear Diary, Remember how Ms. Birdy and Dr. Quack said I could be Millie’s Lady-in-Waiting? And remember how my mom pointed out all kinds of good things about it? Well, she forgot to point out one very bad thing: the fact that I have to deal with Millie, world’s most demanding little queen! I went over to Millie and Molly’s place today and to help Millie pick out her dress. I thought she should wear her bright pink dress –it’s so springy and fancy! But she wanted to wear this awful light-blue number with flowers all over it. I told Millie that she looked more like a peasant than a queen in that dress, but she said that it was her decision. I tried to get Molly to back me up and tell Millie that I was right about the pink dress, but Molly wouldn’t get involved. Can you believe it? My own friend, not even interested in helping me out! Millie told me that if I didn’t like her choice, maybe I shouldn’t be her lady-in-waiting (actually, she called me her ‘gravy-in-waiting’, but I corrected her). I told her that if she thought she could get ready … Read more

Alex discovers a new type of rock
Notes from the Science Journal of Alex Tiger 2pm – I have made a remarkable discovery. In one of my search areas located near Kinzville Park I was digging for samples when I came across a small cache of unusually colored, smooth, oval rocks. I have gathered the samples and am about to return to my lab (bedroom) to study them more closely. 3pm – I am now in the lab with my samples and have decided to research the rocks before beginning my analysis. I have scanned all of my reference books and have been unable to find any reports of rocks matching the samples I have discovered. The signs are all pointing to the fact that this is an entirely new scientific discovery! 3:15pm – Upon closer inspection the rocks have been revealed to be a hoax. As I tapped one of the samples with my chisel, the outer covering chipped off to reveal a solid chocolate center. The covering was a candy-coated shell. These are no rocks – they are chocolate eggs! 3:30pm – A phone call to Roberta revealed that the Easter Planning Committee has compromised some if not all of my search areas by hiding … Read more
Millie’s Easter Basket
Millie asked the Easter Bunny (AKA: me, or my uncle) for a special basket for her goodies. I decided to get super-crafty and make her a gorgeous decoupage basket. Check it out! What you need: Shoe box, pipe cleaner, construction paper eggs, scissors, craft glue, colored duct tape What you do: Put a layer of glue on one side of your shoe box. Glue on your construction paper eggs. Repeat with the other three sides of the box. Attach your pipe cleaner as a handle. You can punch a hole through either side of the box, and twist your handle in place. Add a border of colored duct tape at the top and bottom of your box. Fill the box full of goodies!
Postcard from Laurabeard – getting closer to the island
Dear Nibbles, We are still in search of the mysterious island full of fabled riches that the captain we met told us about, but today we discovered a very unusual – and delicious – clue! We were sailing in the area where we thought the island must be located, but there is still a lot of fog cover and so far we haven’t spotted it again. I was up in the crow’s nest, keeping watch when I noticed something strange floating in the waters around our ship. I climbed down and grabbed a net to scoop one of the strange objects out of the water. I immediately realized that it was one of those weird brown, egg-shaped pods that I had seen growing on the trees when we had that quick glimpse of the island one day. We took the pod and set it on the table then Dogbeard decided to try cracking it open. He used a mallet to smash the pod, but instead of breaking open, it just broke into a bunch of smaller pieces. Whatever it was, it was solid all the way through. Then suddenly Dogbeard said “Is that what I think it is?” and he … Read more
