The second story, titled "This Place Be Like a Dog's Home," which again, was written by me, involved Foofur and the troops cleaning up the place. In the final story, "The Dog who Always Checks Twice," which I also wrote, had Foofur making sure all of the troops are present.

We are still in the process of writing more Foofur stories, as well as other Hanna-Barbera stories that you may see in the future. However, we haven't written a Foofur story in a while as of 2023, but I hope we can create more in the near future.
