Barty Finds his Smile

a story by Arty


This story is fiction, any similarities between the character and the the author are strictly coinci...
Oh Wait, ...ummmm...never mind...
Once upon a time there was a handsome Shih Tzu pup named Barty who lost his smile due to day after day of dreary gray skies. Then his Daddy told Barty, "Enough is enough little guy, let's go find your smile!" He put Barty in his harness and they plundge(d) into the unknown!

It was pretty dreary out there. You see, where Barty lives it is foggy all August long! 
Barty and his Daddy walked for miles and miles searching everywhere for Barty's smile. They even asked the little birdies along the way...but nobody had seen it anywhere!!


It's like it had fallen into a void! What was a boy to do??
Barty's Daddy had an idea,

"Barty, my boy, why don't you concentrate on all the beauty around you? Maybe your smile will find you!"


Barty went out into the gray with a new purpose noticing all the beauty along the way...

Pretty purples...and greens...and so many delicious smells.


...and guess what??
Barty and his smile FOUND EACH OTHER!!


I'm not sure if it was the pretty purples....


...or just the fresh air...


But Barty and his Daddy were relieved Barty's smile decided to come back!! 

Now, whenever Barty feels his smile slipping away, he asks his Mama or Daddy to take him out to look at all the beauty in the world!!

The End

    (B)Arty found out to "accentuate the positive," as the show tune says. and it will put a smile on your face. Good job helping him find that out, Dad.

    Oh, how we loved the story of Barty and his search for his lost smile - somehow it made us think of sweet little Tweedles and her magical bubbles.
