    Get Outta Dodge

    He'll be driving two white horses when he comes... Jack arrives to take Richard and his broken horse back home.

    Richard: I thought you'd bring the Tesla.
    Jack: I didn't want to get it dirty.
    Richard: Uh Oh, Do you see that big cloud of dust? Do you hear the thundering hooves? I think the posse is on the way back. Posse Man 1 is allergic to cats. When he started sneezing, I was afraid he was on to me, but he seemed not to notice. Maybe he caught on. I think the jig is up. Close that tailgate. We gotta get the heck outta Dodge!

    Meanwhile in the Posse...

    Floyd: Hey, where's the little shrimp?
    Posse Man 1: The little dude probably can't keep up on that little horse. He's probably back there in the cloud of dust.
    Jeb: Maybe he ran home to mommy. (laughter)
    Boss: We'd better go back and see if he's OK. Turn around fellas. (They head back to town.)
    ...
    Posse Man 1: Hey, that man is kidnapping our little dude... and his horse! Get him, guys! Let's Go!!
    Boss: Hold on fellas! That's probably his father who came to haul him back home. His mother has probably been worried sick. See how fast they are hurrying to get home? Maybe he'll come back when he's all grown up.

    Ah, saved by the misunderstanding (though honestly, I could have jumped in the cab fasterthan Jack could have carried me - and without the  wear to my  claws).

    I think it is a good thing you didn't try that. If the posse had seen that elegant cat leap, they may have been very suspicious. For some reason, Jack seems to always think he has to carry you out of trouble. He carried you out of the jailhouse, too, when you were both locked up for hosta hijinks. Maybe he feels that it solidifies his role as hero.

    I love these stories/renders so much!!!  You do a great job, you are an excellent storyteller ;-)  And your "main characters" are such good sports, my hat is off to them as well!

    I must confess, though, that when I first glanced at the name of this thread, I thought it said... something else.  Needless to say, I was quite relieved to see that Jack and Richard are, in fact, alive and well! XD

    You may have a point there.

    I'm glad you are entertained! Richard is indeed a good sport, commenting on what i post and often influencing the story development with his comments. I can't imagine what you thought the title of the thread was. It's probably better that I don't know. In spite of all their outlandish adventures, Jack and Richard remain alive and well here.

    Maybe she missed the "on" in the middle?

    Oh, that would be quite traumatic.

    Hi, Honey, I'm Home

    Jack dropped Richard off at home. Richard went inside and called out to Lola:

    Richard: Hi, honey, I'm home.
    Lola: I'm in the laundry room, Richard. ... Richard! You're a filthy mess! Why did you wear your pajamas outside?
    Richard: It was a bad idea. I'm sorry.
    Lola: Was jack involved?
    Richard: A little bit.
    Lola: Were you digging up hostas again?
    Richard: No.
    Lola: Did you get arrested again?
    Richard: No.
    Lola: Do you want to give me all the details?
    Richard: Not reallyI went to Dodge City to see Miss Kitty, my fourth cousin twice removed. It's dusty there. Jack gave me a ride home. That's the gist of it. I'm tired. I need a nap now.
    Lola: Well, take off those filthy clothes and I'll add them to this load. I bought you some cute new pajamas today. They have little kitten faces on them. They all look just like you!
    Richard: Thanks, I think I'll save them for a special occasion. I'm kind of tired of clothes right now.  (Richard thinks to himself: If I have to wear those kitten pajamas, I'm sure I'll have nightmares about today.)

    The End  Well it was the end, until I decided to explore Jack's attempt to fix Richard's horse.

    @barbult I am glad I missed the last 20 posts and got to read them in a mass read! Super fun. Now when is Miss Kitty going to send the kits over to Lola's for kitty sitting by Richard and Jack? Will they introduce them to YouTube kitten tunes to lull them to sleep? Or show them Husky videos of stupid things they do or say? Or on hot days, the bird bath water fountains? And then there are the squirrels and birds and the cats try to climb into the TV to get to them. And run constantly to refill the food and water bowls? And get them off of the drapes. 

    I have come to an agreement with Simon that my side of the bed and my pillows are on a time-share. He has them during the day, I get them during the night. Charlie hasn't agreed quite yet.

    I forgot to say how impressed I am with the work you put in for that scene of the dismemberment of the rocking horse, after what you did for the cat pajamas. DAZ should award you gift card credits or something.

    Ah, clothes to trigger flashbacks. Hmm, I wonder if Lola knows more than she admits and is trying some aversion therapy?

    I believe in your innocence, and I'm sure it was just an unfortunate coincidence that she found those kitten-face pajamas at Walmart when she was shopping for tuna.

    LOL, barbult. This is a great thread, pictures and story. I love the posse renders on the LoPi figure thread too. I guess that was an alternate timeline. Richard's comments add a lot too. Is it really "The End"?

    Only the end of the Posse story, unless I get inspired to visit Jack to observe his attempt to fix the horse. Those thoughts have been spinning around. I'm not sure if I will go there.

    Edit: I'm going there.

    Jack didn't get his share of "screen time" in the Posse adventure, so now we'll visit him at home to observe, as he fixes Richard's Horse.

    Horse Wash

    Jack: Uh Oh. I blasted off all the paint with the dirt.

    A hose, a hose, my kingdom for a hose!

    I tried to find a pressure washer in the store, but was unsuccessful. I found this squirt gun in my library, so I said close enough!

    At least the store has plenty of hobby paint kits/pots to choose from.

    He'll be needing some of those after the glue dries.

    I always knew washing with water was a bad idea.

    Well cats prefer their own spit. But I wonder if the way astronauts wash their hair in space would work on a cat?

    Oh, yes, you just reminded me of the punting incident at the beginning of this forum thread. It is good (for Jack) that you weren't there when he washed your horse.

    That's an interesting video.

    Yes, very much so - fortunately he had the forethought to bribe me away.
