Carrie Goes to Hollywood
The house is quiet while Carrie sleeps on her soft, white blanket. All curled up in her crate in daddy’s office, this is her favorite spot.
Mom and I are watching Animal Planet on T.V. The man on the show talks about a contest for the smartest dog. My mom smiles, “Sophie, do you want to enter Carrie in the contest? “Yes!” I say with excitement.
A few weeks had gone by since we sent Carrie’s photo to Animal Planet. It was a hot summer day when I went to the mailbox, and there it was! An invitation for Carrie to do some tricks on Animal Planet!
Carrie hears my family talking about her going on Animal Planet and thinks to herself “I’ll be famous and rub noses with all the movie star animals! I’ll be so rich; I can buy a crate with one-hundred rooms!” For weeks Carrie prances around the house very happy, and excited about becoming a movie star…until the plane ride.
Carrie was shaking as she was being put into the crate, in the animal section of the big airplane. “This is nothing like my nice cozy crate at home” Carrie says with a whimper. “Maybe going to Hollywood wasn’t such a good idea after all” Carrie thinks as she falls asleep.
“Oh, boy! There’s my family!” Carrie jumps up on Sophie, very excited to see her, she accidentally pees on her. “I’m so sorry Sophie; I’m just excited to see you”. Sophie’s mom says “Don’t worry Sophie; we’ll get you a new shirt when we get to Animal Planet”. “Then let’s hurry up and get there because I feel gross!” Sophie says in horror.
We finally get to Animal Planet and Carrie sees six of the one-hundred and one Dalmatians! She got so excited she jumped up on one of the Dalmatians and barks in her ear. This made the Dalmatian angry. Suddenly a woman comes over and yells, “Don’t you jump and bark in my dog’s ears! Don’t you know they’re movie stars?! You better behave or I’ll have you thrown out of here!”
Sad, after being yelled at, Carrie walks over to get her picture taken. The camera man is very nice and Carrie starts to feel happy again. “Smile,” says the camera man. Carrie is smiling proudly as she poses and hears the clicking of the camera. Through the flashing of the camera lights Carrie sees the famous Beethoven from the Disney Channel! Carrie gets so excited; she runs towards Beethoven and knocks over the camera man! “That’s enough”, yells the camera man, “get that dog out of our studio!”
Back at home, all curled up on her soft, white blanket. Carrie thinks to herself, “It’s nice to be home where I belong”.
