I thank you, "Bob" thanks you, we ALL thank you!!!

Gentle readers, MUCH gratitude and GRATEFULLNESS for your solicitous regards and contributions. We have found "Spongebobby (!!!)"

Hats off to "Momo the Seal" for eyeballing him in the "Cave of Lost Dreams" and a hearty pat on the back to "Cucu, the Squid" for picking the kid up out of the DISGUSTING puddle he was lying in.

Briefly, here's the story.
I gathered about me a small ARMY of some-what willing accomplices - well equipped for ANY eventuality - amphibians, fish, birds, aquatic mammals. (See picture above). We didn't know what we might find down there and we wanted to be PREPARED for ANYthing!
We cleverly climbed down the Deep Tunnel without a peep being heard.....

It didn't take long to get some action!
"Frogboy" and "Monkeyfrog" were in the vanguard, and, right off, they slipped on a sort of SLIME patch and went into free fall!

Fortunately, we were ALL roped together and this broke their fall.

When we scrambled down to HELP them, - all of a sudden - we heard a low, PATHETIC SQUEAK coming from a corner of the passage!!

Sure enough, it was poor "Old Bob", lying in a puddle of slime, looking pretty battered but alive. Oddly, he had a rolled up PAPER of some sort stuck in his pie-hole, the one he uses to squeak and squeal from.

The very MYSTERIOUS MESSAGE.... well, more about THAT later!!

Happy Ending: We quickly carried "Bobby" up the tunnel to safety and HOME at LAST!!!!!!!!!

Right now he is resting comfortably under the bed wrapped in a comforter in his SAFE PLACE.

Lets all be quiet and not disturb his slumbers. Poor kid, he's been through hell, itself!! I, Pip, am trying to comfort him, the best I can but he's had a TERRIBLE SHOCK!
SHUUUSSSSSH!
