The Trial
Judge Lucy: Shania, please present the picture.
Shania: Yes, Your Honor Lucy. This picture was taken after I had finished the life-saving surgery on Herr Ludwig. He lost a lot of stuffing, but in the end, he survived.

Judge Lucy: Please give your credentials for doing this kind of medicine.
Shania: I studied wartime surgery in my homeland of Germany – in Bavaria, to be more specific – the same state from which Ludwig hails. Besides both being schnauzers, that’s why we were such good friends. We often went out for a non-alcohol beer together. When he was in such bad shape it made me faint from worry that he wouldn’t make it. However, I roused myself in time to perform the necessary repair surgery to keep him alive.
Chia: Where is he now? Did he talk? I thought for sure…well, never mind. *hangs head*
Shania: He’s was air-lifted to a specialty facility for seriously injured stuffied. We’re all still praying he makes it.
Meanwhile in Bavaria…

Shania’s Identical Twin Sister Shanaya: How are you feeling, Ludwig? Xexe and I will take turns staying here with you while you begin to recover.
Ludwig: I’m very tired, Fräulein Shanaya . I lost a lot of stuffing. But I think I’ll be OK.
Xexe: Miss Nurse, when can Ludwig go home with me? Don’t misunderstand…I have my pajamas on and am prepared to spend the night with him here. Or as long as it takes. I’m in a witness protection plan and am living with Fräulein Shanaya here in Bavaria. My real name’s Xena, but now I’m going by an alias, Xexe.
Shanaya: Xexe, I don’t think you’re supposed to tell anyone that…

Back to the trial…

Chia: I don’t understand. But what about the funeral?!
Shania: When I realized that Herr Ludwig was – most likely – going to recover – with the proper help, that is – President Larry Lemur and I discussed how this should be handled. Ludwig was still too injured to talk and stayed in a stuffie coma for a few days. In the meantime, we staged his funeral, hoping the dog who had performed this heinous crime would come forward, or in some way be identified. But she didn’t. So that’s when we went to Lucy, asking her to hold a mock trial.
Chia: Mock trial?
To be cont’d…
Only because of the best medical attention did Ludwig survive! *wags* Judge Lucy

We’re glad to hear Ludwig made it and is recovering from his injuries, but this trial doesn’t sound fair. Is Xena in witness protection because she saw who did it?

A mock trial? Which “mock” is on trial? Can you actually TRY a “mock” ??? Inquiring minds want to know!
