Mealtime Hacks
Mr. Nibbles: “Charlee, the purpose of that feeder is so Chaplin can eat small meals throughout the day. If it opened for you, you would eat all the food at once and there would be none for Chaplin.”
Charlee: “See, Mouse? Mr. Nibbles gets it. I’m not sure why you don’t. You’re supposed to be the smart one.”
Mouse: “Oh, I get it. I’m just not going to hack the feeder for you so that you can steal all of Chaplin’s food.”

Caturday Matinee: You Shall Not Pass (But *YOU* Shall)
Dada’s Note: We seem to have isolated Chaplin’s digestive condition to something related to the size and frequency of his meals, so we got an automatic feeder for him that reads his microchip and only opens when he puts his head through the sensing apparatus. (The device can also work via a collar tag.) This allows him to go and eat whenever and however much he wants, and as a result he has gained back all the weight he lost while we were trying to figure things out.
Needless to say, Charlee doesn’t quite understand why the automatic feeder won’t open for her …

Mouse: “Well, there’s the helicopter, but where’s Lulu?”

Mouse: “Look, we’re going to need you to fill in this mine shaft and all related tunnels.”
Gopher Guy: “But the mine is full of valuable stuff!”
Mouse: “What valuable stuff? You all just finished saying you have no idea what’s down there!”
Badger Boy: “Yo yo yo, it’s a mine! By definition mines have stuff in them! And also by definition, what’s mine is not yours, yo.”
Mouse: “Okay, none of what you just said makes any sense.”
Charlee: “Did you see where the helicopter went?”
Chaplin: “It looked like it was heading for the airport.”

Mouse: “Listen, you randos can’t just show up and start digging big holes in the yard.”

Timmy: “I hear a helicopter! I bet it’s Lassie!”

The Hole World
Mole Man: “Those tunnels were abandoned. I just moved in and expanded them a little.”
Gopher Guy: “They were not! I had just temporarily suspended operation due to excessive digging interference from above.”
Lulu: “What’s going on up there? Who are you talking to?”
Charlee: “A Mole Man and a Gopher Guy. But we’re not really talking to them, they’re sort of arguing amongst themselves.”
Mouse: “I still say there’s no such thing as Mole Men and Gopher Guys.”
Chaplin: “That’s a pretty bold position to take considering they’re standing right there.”
