THE KINGDOM OF SNACKINGTON

My grandson asked me to write a story.  He gave me his ideas and I thought they were great!  So, here goes.  

Cinnamon is an honorary member of the Kingdom of Snackington.   (My daughter's home)

I told my grandson that she needed an official title.   

She became a foreign diplomat from the Republic of Camp Runamuck.  

Every kingdom needs a king or a queen.   So, Finley became King Finley of Snackington.  He took over from Barty.   (I just did a DNA blog on him.)

He is regal like a King.   He has the look of a king.   

There was a full ranking in the Kingdom.   Cinnamon is a visitor there and isn't bothered by anything as long as I'm close.   

King Finley isn't phased by her at all.  He has other things on his mind besides worrying about a tiny dog..   He would rather beg for meal bits.  

Next in rank is Lily.  She is busy!  She has so much to do.   

First, she is the Secretary of Defense.  She was checking out the fence that cover the pool steps.   She loves the pool, and there is a raft in there just for her.   She enjoys floating around on it.  

But Barty isn't safe, so the fence is there.   Barty doesn't see or hear well, and he can occasionally go up steps.  The fence and Lily, the Secretary of Defense protect him.   The Kingdom of Snackington is a thriving city of trade and militarization.   Lily is busy!

Lily is also the Crown Princess.   She is the only girl dog who lives there.  So, the title was easy to give her.   

Two jobs aren't enough for this princess.   She is also the Prime Minister of Snackington.   I just don't know how she finds the time.  

Princess Lily does have time to take a break on occasion.  

The Kingdom of Snackington is in "the northern part of the house."   It's where the dogs are fed.  Barty THINKS he can eat in there.  But it's an epic fail.   He's kind of a chow hound, so he has to eat by himself.   

Now, Barty (also Barry, also Cornelius, the first King of Snackington) is banished from the Kingdom aka the food room.   His mom (my daughter) said he couldn't eat there because he wanted to eat all the food.   A civil war could have occurred among the dogs-- I mean the high ranking officials:  King Finley, Crown Princess Lily, and Barty.  

Barty hasn't been banished completely.   He can go to the rest of the kingdom.  And he was given a new title since he is no longer the king.   He is now the Honorary High Sheriff.   He has no power, but the title sounds nice. :-)  

Life is good at the Kingdom of Snackington.
