‘Home With a Bone’
It’s a lighthearted 1980’s themed shaggy-dog romp through seasonal faux-pas and comic tribulatons whereby a South Florida family forget to load the family dog into the car before driving across country to visit relatives for Christmas all the way up in New York State
‘Oh my GOD…..WE LEFT TIMMY’
Timmy is of course locked in the house on Miami Beach, and soon runs out of food. Luckily for Timmy – that night two hapless opportunist house-burglars named Frik and Frak notice there are no lights on in the house, but hear Timmy’s bark, so they leave sausages through the letterbox hoping to outsmart Timmy by scaling the gutter to a rear bedroom.
Timmy’s hearing is just as keen as one might expect so he cunningly waits for them at the top of the huge curved staircase of polished marble*. One of the thieves gets in, sees Timmy, bricks it, and leaps up to a light ceiling light/fan fixture to try and climb away from Timmy’s big barking jaws.
As he grabs the light/ceiling fan with both hands and begins rotating with it we can briefly see the surprised crook’s skeletal features illuminated in neon-blue sparks as it begins to spin faster. Frak luckily has a sausage left so lobs it across the room to Timmy expecting him to eat it and run away with it. Timmy licks his lips ruefully, but always one step ahead he heroically ignores the sausage and pads smartly to the CB radio in the study, pressing the ‘on’ switch with his paw. Meanwhile Frik is still spinning while Frak is trying to grab him, but keeps getting kicked lightly in the kisser every time Frik’s flailing feet makes a pass. Frik’s hair is on end and he’s crying for his mother.
