Jenny The Pudgy Pooch

Here is the beginning of Jenny The Pudgy Pooch, the first of my Pudgy Pooch books.  Enjoy! 

At the corner of Bark Ave and Paw Street sits a fire hydrant-shaped bakery called The Pudgy Pooch Pastry Shop.  Jenny, the owner, was known around town as the Pudgy Pooch and she LOVED to bake.  Through the large window in front of the shop hundreds of yummy doggy treats are displayed!  Liver flavored pupcakes, peanut butter drizzled biscuits, and beefy brownies were some of the town’s favorites.  Local dogs would spend hours in her shop drooling over all of her creations.
One day while Jenny was putting the finishing touches on a triple decker cheese and bacon flavored cake a reporter came to see her.  She walked in and said, “Hello, my name is Fluffy Hindsniffer and I am from Decadent Doggy Dessert Magazine.”  Jenny welcomed her to her shop.  Fluffy continued, “I have come to ask you if you would be interested in participating in a contest we will be having.”  “What kind of contest?” Jenny asked.  “The largest and tastiest pupcake contest.  The winner will receive five thousand dollars and an article in our magazine,” Fluffy said.  Jenny was thinking about the biggest pupcake she had ever made and it was only the size of a dog bowl.  She asked, “How big of a pupcake do I have to bake?”  “Well, you would be competing against another bakery located in Barksdale.  If you can create a one hundred pound pupcake that is tastier than their pupcake you could win,” Fluffy responded.  One hundred pounds was bigger than any pupcake Jenny had ever seen let alone baked, but she was up for the challenge.  “Okay, sounds like fun,” Jenny replied.  “Wooonderful,” Fluffy howled.  “The contest is in one week in the town’s square.  Bring your pupcake and may the best dog win!”  Fluffy exited the shop and Jenny began to think of a plan for her one hundred pound pupcake.  If she was going to do this she would need some help. 

If I ever get published you will get to read how this story ends!  So, I hope you get to.
