Once upon a time there was a very nice puppy named Marple.
As you can see, Marple was attractive, photogenic and had a great disposition. The problem was that Marple had a metal growth on her head.
There were times that Marple wished the metal thingy wasn’t there because it made it very difficult to go underneath couches, beds, doors and the like. Those are some of the very best places on earth to a puppy. Marple never complained, though. She was a very good dog and did her best to enjoy every minute of her life.
Perhaps it was Marple’s good nature, in spite of her adversity, that caught the attention of The Cute Overload Fairy. The Cute Overload Fairy snuck up behind Marple and waved her cute and sparkly wand and just like that, the metal thingy was gone!
Marple looked around. How did this happen? She didn’t know, but being a polite pup, Marple pointed her snout in the air and said, “Thank you very much!” She felt a faint *boop* on her nose and a quiet, “You’re welcome.”
Marple was so excited, she immediately ran around testing all of the things she could get under.
Marple, Paul, Charlotte and Nat S. lived happily ever after. The End.
Yay for Marple and the CO fairy! I too shall gently boop your nose, and then I shall give you a zerbert on your adorable tum.
There is a definite resemblance between Marple and Wishbone. Literary dogs look alike??
YES!! I used to LOOOOVE Wishbone! And I mean, as an adult, I would watch it. Wonder if Marple likes Alexandre Dumas..hmmmm…
I once donated to PBS just to get the Wishbone beanie baby premium. The woman asked me how many kids I had. I told her none.
I still have it.
That is baby Petey from the Little Rascals!!! OMG too damn cute!!!
that was awesome, thanks so much!!!! The Little Rascals are the best!!!!
I thought the exact same thing!
And did you know that Pete was a American Staffordshire Terrier or “Pitbull”.
Doesn’t that prove it’s not the breed but how you raise them!!
Amen to that.
No more Breed Specific Legislation. Punish the deed, not the Breed.
Yes. In the early part of the 20th century the American Stratfordshire dogs were known as “baby sitter dogs.” It was people who ruined that reputation, not the dogs.
no thats not a puuper he’s full grown …but still cute!
pic 2 – Tongue!! [pphhbbbtt!]
ummm… make that pic 3 [blushing]
No worries, ceejoe – it’s hard to count when you’re faced with such cuteness. Me, I’m reduced to “Oh, lookit, lookit, lookit, lookit, lookit!” And so on.
leetle pink tongue, leetle pink tongue!
(sung to the tune of “little pink sock”)
I too loved pic #3. I want her! *grabby hands and runs*
The picture has some sweet paw-up action! (-:
at least you can count. i was too ded by it to post for 10 hours.
Oh, yes! That tiny tongue had me at ” :p “! What a FREAKING adorable pup! Lovely post and hovertext, Crazy Pants!!
He has little chubby puppy toes!
and four adorable cankles!! Don’ fergit them cankles!!!
“Little chubby puppy toes,
Do not stuff them up your nose.”
I’m in the lounge, too, after I said the baby-doglet word. Really, how else are we to talk about baby-doglets?
Pass the Serrano ham, please!
Here ya go… and have some apple cider, too.
What? The mod lounge? Better persons than I have lounged here, I guess. sigh.
Have you ever had serrano ham? It’s delicious, have some!
Serrano Ham? Well no, I haven’t… let’s just try a little piece….. I….. oh my goodness!
[pssst... ChrisW, it's the p*ppy word that got you tossed in... use puppeh instead.
Not really? Really? Oh my goodness! That’s…. that’s…… are you sure? But….. but… really?
I will never look at Marple & brown sugar flavored oatmeal the same way again !
I think you mean Maple & brown sugar. They don’t put pieces of Miss Marple in the oatmeal where you live do they?
oh nooooes does that mean she won’t come solve the crime of who ate the meatball at my house?? Mudbug did you do the crime?
I’ll admit to the crime if I can be under house arrest in the Mod lounge ! ;oD
No Gigi not miss Marple but if you put a little oatmeal on that cute pup I would just eat that little cutie pie up ! NOM NOM !!!
Just look at those saggy little belly wrinkles! So adorable! Cute cute cute.
I wish saggy belly wrinkles on a 45-year-old woman were also considered cute. I’d be a supermodel!
What is it about the “one paw slightly raised” situation (pic 2) that slays my very soul?
What IS is about the “slightly raised paw” (pic 2) that slays me to no end? Sigh.
Loud chortle, then even louder “awwwww, that so cute!!!”
Marple should have gray hair and sensible shoes and be running around sleuthing something. Shouldn’t she?
And knitting, I seem to remember knitting in there somewhere…
Yeah, and with “Marple” for a name you’d think she’d have figured out it was the CO Fairy whodunit. (And that’s some eye patch she’s got there – am surprised she wasn’t called Pirate instead.) Still, “Marple” was “Her Master’s Choice”.
She has the most deeelicious EAR FLAPS
omnomnomnom
ummmm @tracylee…no toe beans??? Seriously
I just can’t win, huh? First it was I’m nomming the toes and I get “what, no ears?” and now I go for the ears and you tell me about the toe beans… So difficult, Emmylee, really!
*harrumph!*
Maybe I should nom on the whole puppeh next time, not leave any for anyone else?
*hee*
I was just tryin’ ta halp *whine*…and i mean go for it…as long as I get a nubbin of an earsie 
I want to gently pinch that little bit of tongue in the third photo!!!
How do you become a CO Fairy? What’s the career path? What are the educational requirements?
Theresa, I have a feeling that whatever the educational requirements may be, you’ve most likely already met them.
Is there an internship???
Somebody, write me a letter of recommendation?!
Theresa, I’ve located an internship with the Click & Clack Bros. Fairy Co.
You can turn in your application paperwork, to the receptionist below:

Oh, poor Theresa. I didn’t intend to scar you for life, simply to amuse you.
Here are two actual links about becoming a fairy. No kidding; they were
truly “out there” on the ‘Net. no jokes in these.

I like that there was a nose boop in the story!
Perfect story-picture mind meld. And the little fairy ‘boop’ at the end? So cute! thanks Crazy Pants.
