“Trixie” is a brown and white spaniel and she had five of the cutest little brown and white puppies that you ever did see…and then the most unusual thing EVER, happened. Trixie’s sixth and last puppy was…get ready for this…a female pink and purple polka dot puppy!
It was as hard to believe as it was to say. Just try saying “Pink and Purple Polka Dot Puppy” and you’ll see what I mean.
Well, Trixie loved her multicolored and polka dotted spotted puppy just as much as all the others but “Dottie”, as Trixie’s owners named her, did cause a great amount of attention.
In fact, Dottie attracted so much attention that soon the newspapers and TV stations were coming to Trixie’s house and wanting to photograph and make videos of the strange colored and spotted puppy.
Dottie was famous all over the city and even one national news team came to see her and Trixie and featured the amazing story on the Evening News.
Soon, Dottie was getting old enough to notice how different she was, and a single goal became her most frequent thought. “I want to be just like all of my brothers and sisters and just like Mommy.”
Trixie’s owners Marge and Herbert Smith tried fitting a brown and white doggie sweater on Dottie but those pink purple polka legs and head just looked even more…well…pink and purple and polka’d!
But as Dottie became six months old and all of her brothers and sisters had been adopted to very good and happy homes she decided to accept that she was different and maybe the only Pink/purple/polka puppy in the whole world.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith took Trixie and Dottie to dog shows all over the country and Dottie always won “Most Unusual Puppy” ribbons and after winning that catagory at seven straight shows, a national toy company made a best selling stuffed toy puppy that was the exact size and colors and pattern of Dottie and she quickly became world famous!
Dottie even had her own reality show each week on a cable channel and hundreds of thousands of people(and presumably dogs too)watched every week and even wrote fan mail to her.
Dottie was giving “Pawtographs” to admirers but she didn’t like dipping her left paw into pink ink and her right paw into purple ink and then pressing them both on the paper so it looked like…you guessed it…pink and purple polka dots. Plus the ink stayed on for a long time and needed to be scrubbed off.
But Dottie wasn’t truly happy.
Even though she had all the fame of a National celebrity there was a deep feeling inside of her that just wanted to be…well…normal.
The Smith’s were making so much money on Dottie’s notoriety that they built her a new two story dog house (Pinky purply and polka dotted of course)and it was the only one like it in the whole world.
That is until the toy company that made the Dottie Stuffed Dogs started selling replicas of the unique dog house which became more popular that the Barbie Playhouse!
Well…my story is getting rather long now so I’ll just skip to the part where Dottie is a fully grown mature dog and tell you about something that I bet you won’t believe.
Of course, if you believe everything about Dottie so far, you just might believe this too.
There was a National Kennel Club Dog Show at a very large northern city and the producers of the show were flying Dottie and the Smith’s in so that the world famous dog could make a personal appearance.
When the spotlight finally went off of her and Dottie’s sight was returning to normal …THERE HE WAS…standing right in front of her… the handsomest spaniel she’d ever seen. He was smiling at her and told her that his name was “Striper” and he had the most astounding green and yellow striped fur that she’d ever imagined.
And yes…of course…they both knew that they were meant for each other and also of course…they lived happily ever after.
