FAMOUS! (No, not that thrashy magazine)

Today Mom came home and I heard her screaming Scooooobbbyyyyyyyyy. My first thoughts were oh oh what I have done now:


Has she discovered that tunnel Casper and I are digging to China? – NOPE.

Did she discover the massacre of the Orchid leaves? – NO
(Casper and I made sure we ate everything we tore up)

Did she discover that it’s not Casper who washes his feet in our drinking bowl, its actually ME! – NOT YET.


Never mind all that because instead of scolding me, she rushed out and squeezed me, and hugged and gave me all her attention. I love attention!


Then she showed me this picture. Notice anything unusual?





That dude labelled as a "CHICKEN" looks very familiar. Do you think he looks like a chicken? How dare they think a dog is a chicken! So do you think he looks lilke me? I hope so because IT IS ME! And I am now being stocked at your local supermarket.

Look at my hair. It is so poofy – this photo was taken over 8 months ago, and that’s all my baby hair. I think I’ve got a better hairdresser nowadays.


Anyway, back to how I got my photo on those goodies. I was happily attending obedience training class when one day, a stranger approached Mom and asked whether she could take photos of me. Turns out that my photos were submitted to the people at Natures Gift, and I got called in to do a photo shoot. I didn’t even have to audition like those models on Australia’s Next Top Model. Woof! So Mum brought me along and they gave us a bag of goodies for turning up on the day. Then time passed and we forgot about it when one day Mum received a box of goodies with MY PHOTO on it saying they thought I was a handsome boy, and I could go on to be the NEXT TOP MODEL. HA HA…only kidding.


The letter actually said thank you for bringing Scooby to our photo shoot and we are using his photo for this product blah blah blah. So Mum kept a lookout at the supermarket every weekend after that and I never appeared so she stopped checking. Until today, when she saw me! Staring at her from the shelves when she went to buy Casper's puppy milk.

So that is why she came home screaming my name. Mum can be a nutso at times. Now I’m wondering, should I audition for NEXT TOP MODEL? What do you guys think?



ps. Although they have labelled me a CHICKEN and I am NEW and only worth 99 cents, Mom has reassured me that I am her NUMBER 1 and definitely no pok pok. And I am irreplacable and she loves me much more than she loves 99 cents. Right Mom?

Toby, Mum says I am still ordinary Scooby and she will not submit my photo for the next Top Model competition. And she has stopped feeding me those chicken treats because she thinks I am getting too fat! If you are ever in my part of the world you can come over and play with Casper and me!!

Ume said...

hi Scooby,
you're a celebrity!
is Nature's Gift gonna give u lifelong supply of their treats?

Scooby said...

Baily: You look pretty funky too. I like your sunnies!!!

Bella: That is cool! I will tell my mummy that someone else buys these treats too. She didn't know whether NG was a well known brand or not. Now all we eat is NG day in and day out.

Fee: Thank you very much.

Ume: Unfortunately I don't get a lifelong supply of goodies. I just got a couple of boxes. Hmmm..you have a good point there. Now why didn't Mom ask for that instead.....
