Nice little continuity nod!

Dudley was a nerd in his teenage years, too.

Yeah....I actually remembered that from the show!!! Thanks for reminding me!!!

That would be a nice little plot-point. Dudley tells Kitty & Katty that he was mercilessly bullied because he was a nerd, but instead of hiding it, he embraced it.

Dudley: Of course, you wouldn't know. You were the Top Cheerleader, While I was swirly Mc'Wedgie.

Yeah...plus it’ll be pretty awesome for Mrs. Katswell to finally have someone to talk to about Superhero Comics, Video Games, Trading Cards & D&D campaigns with!!!

Better yet, have Dudley de-age into a nerdy teen as well. That way, it wouldn't be as awkward.

(This is what Dudley looked like as a teenager)

Bonus: Make them also closeted otaku! They like Manga, Anime, Plastic Models, Etc.

Awesome!!! I love that idea....I’ll definitely try to de-age them both so it won’t be as awkward like you said. But now I’m just wondering on how would Dudley be “De-Aged “at this point along with Mrs. Katswell since he isn’t mentally stressed out & fatigued as her.🤔

Maybe the de-aging could be something that is ingested, I.E. tampered food or drink. Keswick unintentionally put some "fountain of youth serum into the family dinner. That's my way of dealing with it.

I have an idea for in-universe manga!

Dudley is a Big fan of Genrou Kishi Rai. (Phantom Wolf Knight, Rai. Picture a parody of Saint Seiya, Ronin Warriors, and a dash of Zen-Aku from Power Rangers Wild Force.)

Mrs. Katswell is a die hard fan of Neko Meido Majo Luca-Chan. (Imagine a parody of Dejiko, Aisha Clan Clan, and a pinch of Cardcaptor Sakura.

That’s all sounds amazing!!! I’m really glad that you’re having so much fun with this story & coming up with so much material for me to work with!!! I really appreciate that!!!😊👌

I also imagine the Dudley accidentally brought Keswick’s newly created “youth serum” to the Katswell Family dinner as a last minute gift as he probably thought it was just a fancy bottle of wine or something that had transformed both of them back into young nerds again.

That works, too. But I try not to make Dudley the walking plot device. Kitty, Keswick, & the chief are also capable of screwing up, too.

Yeah.... I was thinking that either Dudley or Kitty might accidentally bring Keswick’s Youth Serum to the Family Dinner (and knowing full well how Kitty usually is around her mother) I would love to see Kitty mess up for once as she would most likely bring the Youth Serum by accident herself due to a lack of foresight or actual planning!!!😅

That's why I consider Guard Dog one of my favorite episodes. Kitty screws up (for a change) & Dudley gets his act together (for once).

I can't wait to see the story!

Don’t worry, you’ll definitely see more of this story next month in July. Also thanks again for all of your support & advice for this story, I really appreciate it!!!🥰👌❤️❤️❤️

No problem. Will you add Daisy to your future TUFF Puppy stories?

Hmmmm....probably!!!😊👌
