HOW DID ROSEBUD CHECK OUT FROM HOWLIDAY INN?

The Monroes have gone on vacation, once again leaving Harold, Chester, and

Howie at Chateau Bow-Wow, which Chester aptly dubbed "Howliday Inn" during

their last stay there. The motley crew of boarders may have changed, but

the creepy goings-on at Howliday Inn have not. A ghostly voice, buried

bones, and a collar with the name "Rosebud" on it suggest that murder may

have been added to the services offered at the kennel.

A pair of yuppie puppies from posh Upper Centerville, two cat burglars

(sisters-in-crime) named Felony and Miss Demeanor, a melancholy Great Dane

named Hamlet, and a weasel named, well, The Weasel, join the Monroe pets

in getting to the bottom of the mysterious happenings. But will they be

able to escape the fate that may have befallen Rosebud?
