Here it is - the first story in Life As Friends. Furaha has got herself covered in too much peanut butter, and Orko suggests a bath so she can be rid of the peanutty mess. Once they're through, they decide to play about in the laundry for a while.

Swim Pants - The Files Of A Friday & Saturday
Hi! Lewis here. If anyone of you cool pups misses me, you might remember me from Adult Swim's long lost 2002 pilot The Lewis Lectures, which aired alongside The Finkel Files one fateful night on Adult Swim in the USA. But wait! What are these?! Swim pants? Well, these give me the perfect opportunity to tell you what my good friend Sophie did to get some exercise today and the preceding day.
The preceding day started off with a few glitches, as Sophie's support worker had to stop three times, yes, THREE WHOLE TIMES, to chat to someone on her phone. By that time, Sophie was getting impatient, but not for long, because they were on their way to the City Of Treasure, Dingwall! My favourite place. First, they stopped off at Tesco and enjoyed their sausage rolls, cookies and water. I'm sad to say there was no sign of that Bill & Ben kiddie ride, because Bill & Ben aren't on TV anymore. Not the puppets, I meant the stop motion versions. Then, after a mishap with the car, they made it to the Puffin Pool, and boy was it a wheeler! Once they were in the pool, Sophie was warmed up right away, and she encountered a few people with disabilities who were lying in the water or accompanied by their parents or support workers. Sophie sat in the water for at least the whole session chatting with her support worker about her annoyed mother and how she had a hectic life looking after (censored) and her and her dog Mylo, god, what a hectic life. But! Is there anything you can do to help your mum, Sophie? No, but what you did learn is that you can stay the previous age even though you're turning 24.
Now onto today. Sophie and her handsome male support worker went to Loch Brora for a walk, but due to all the mud and sticky stuff, they had to go to Poppy's to get something to eat. Usually I'd go for a nice dog treat or a slice of ham, but here they went for a bacon roll, a caramel shortbread (VOMITING NOISES) and some hot cocoa. Now I'm warning you, chocolate is poison for dogs, so, ask for a nice belly rub instead. With Mother's Day coming up, they wanted to do something extra special for Mum, so they went to Home Bargains - home of all the cool human stuff - and guess what the support worker brought? Not a Mother's Day card, but a Minnie Mouse light up notebook AND some Pampers Splashers for his baby son, who is going swimming. The truth is, babies aren't allowed into the water unless they wear these, and they're even cooler with Baby Shark designs on them. I wish they had Baby Looney Tunes designs on them instead - Furaha says that would be really cool. Then they went to Portmahomack, but all the way there, Sophie was feeling really tired, so they went home and - BOM! There she was, fast asleep.
So now you know, don't you? This is where she got the idea of starring me alongside Furaha and Orko in adventures in Dingwall from - Plenty Of Hugs, and one of its collections, Furaha, Orko & Lewis. Your welcome!
