Woofy’s Bone Shaped
Bow Tie
”Guess what Woofy?” asked Brent. ”We’ve just received an invitation
to Rockin’ Roddy Rabbit’s Christmas party!”
“That’s wonderful!” exclaimed Woofy. “I can wear my bone shaped
bowtie to the party.”
“That’s a great idea,” said Brent. “It’s going to be a fun party.
All our friends will be there.”
Woofy was very excited. “I’m going to look for my bone shaped bowtie
right now!”
He went to his bedroom and started searching. “Now where did I put
that bowtie?” Woofy thought to himself. He opened all his drawers
and shuffled through them. No tie. He looked on the top shelf in his
closet. No tie. He checked in the clothes hamper. No tie. He even
looked under his bed. Still, no tie. “Mmmm,” he said out loud to
nobody. “I wonder where that bone shaped bowtie is?” He searched and
searched and searched but he could not find his special tie.
Finally the day of the party arrived. Brent was dressed in his
Christmas party clothes, donning a Santa hat, his favorite red and
white tie with a picture of a Christmas tree on it, and he even had
on green socks.
“Woofy!” announced Brent. “It’s time to go to Roddy’s Christmas
party! Are you ready?”
Woofy tried not to, but he started to cry. “I can’t go to the
party,” he sobbed. “I can’t find my bone shaped bowtie and I just
won’t feel right without it. I want to wear it to the party!”
“Don't worry,” encouraged Brent. “It doesn’t matter what you wear to
the party as long as you are there.”
“Okay, I’ll go,” agreed Woofy, “but I just know I won’t have any fun
without my bone shaped bowtie.”
“Sure you will!” exclaimed Brent. “There will be lots of fun things
to do there. Let’s go!”
Brent and Woofy jumped in the car, fastened their seatbelts, and
drove off into the night to the Christmas party.
“This party is going to be so much fun!” Brent said to Woofy, “There
will be music, food, lots of friends and you can sit in Santa’s
lap!”
“Oh, that does sound like fun,” cried Woofy, “but I still miss
wearing my bone shaped bowtie.”
“Look!” yelped Brent. “It’s Rockin’ Roddy Rabbit’s house!”
Woofy gazed out the car window and saw Mr. Rabbit’s house twinkling
from all the bright lights. The roof of the house was covered with
fresh snow and puff of smoke rose out the chimney. There was a
bright red bow on the door and for a moment it reminded Woofy of his
missing bone shaped bowtie. He felt a little sad about that but the
sight of the twinkling house got him excited about the party.
Woofy and Brent gathered up the presents from the car and walked
through Mr. Rabbits front yard passing his flashing Christmas trees
and up the walk to the front door.
“Hello and welcome to my party” bellowed a loud and friendly voice.
There was Rockin’ Roddy Rabbit standing in the open doorway. His
long fluffy ears were standing straight up and he wore the biggest
bucked toothed grin Woofy had ever seen. “We’re so happy you’re
here!” sang out the rock star. “Merry Christmas my friends. C’mon
in!”
Just as Brent and Woofy entered his house, Mr. Rabbit opened his
arms and gave Woofy a monstrous hug. The hug felt so welcoming that
Woofy turned all warm inside and his sadness melted away.
Woofy glanced about the party room and he was very happy to see so
many friends. “Hiya girls!” Woofy called out to the twins, Karen and
Sharon the Good sisters. “Hi Woofy, nice to see you,” they said
together. “They do everything together,” thought Woofy. Then a
familiar sound caught Woofy’s attention. “Arf! Arf! Arf!” Woofy spun
around and saw Arfur the Dog smiling at him. “Arfur!” Woofy cried
out! “Arf! Arf! Arf!” barked Arfur wagging his tail. “Oh Arfur, it’s
so good to see you,” said Woofy while patting Arfur’s furry head.
“Everything at this party is just right,” thought Woofy. His best
friends were there, Christmas music filled the air. The house
smelled of pine from the Christmas tree and the delicious odor of
freshly baked cookies filled Woofy’s nose and made him hungry.
Over in the corner Woofy saw his favorite party guest of all. It was
Santa! He was sitting on his big chair wearing his red and white
hat. Woofy noticed Santa’s nose was red, his beard was snowy white
and his boots were black as night. When Santa saw Woofy he greeted
him with his usual, “Merry Christmas! Ho Ho Ho!”
Just then Woofy felt a tap on his shoulder. It was Brent. “What’s
your favorite part of this Christmas party?” he asked.
“Sitting on Santa‘s lap, of course,” exclaimed Woofy.
After his visit with Santa, Woofy joined the choir. The sound of “We
Wish You a Merry Christmas” filled the air. Then “Jingle Bells,
Jingle Bells, jingle all the way.” Woofy stole the show when he put
antlers on his head, stuck a red fuzzy ball to his nose and sang
“Woofy the Red Nosed Reindog!” Everybody laughed and sang along.
Then Woofy and his friends played a stocking stuffing game. After
the game Woofy ate cookies and drank all his eggnog. He exchanged
presents with his friends. He loved the new dog collar Brent gave to
him. He was having so much fun he hoped the party would never end!
Too soon the Christmas party was over and it was time for the guests
to depart. Brent and Woofy waved goodbye to their host and all their
friends.
“Thanks for coming to my party!” yelled Rockin’ Roddy Rabbit.
“Bye-Bye. Bye-Bye,” echoed Karen and Sharon. “Arf! Arf! Arf!” barked
Arfur!
On the drive home in the warm comfortable car Brent said to Woofy,
“That party sure was a lot of fun.”
“It sure was.” answered Woofy. “I love Santa! I enjoyed seeing all
my friends! I had a great time!”
“Guess what?” asked Brent.
“What?” Woofy replied.
“Nobody even noticed you weren’t wearing your bone shaped bow tie.”
said Brent.
“That right!” Woofy realized, “and once I started having fun I
didn’t notice I wasn’t wearing it either!”
The car’s tires crunched the snow as they pulled into their
driveway. Woofy was very tired after the wonderful time he had at
the party. He was so tired Brent had to carry him in from the car!
When they entered the house they were surprised to see Woofy’s bone
shaped bowtie lying on the couch.
“There’s the bone shaped bowtie,’ sighed Woofy. “I guess I didn’t
look on the couch for it. And it really didn’t matter that I didn’t
wear it to the party. I was happy to be there.”
“And I’m happy you were there too,” responded Brent, “and now its
time for my sleepy dog buddy to go to bed. Good night Woofy.”
“Good night and Merry Christmas,” yawned Woofy as he crawled under
his blankets.
“Merry Christmas to you Woofy” Brent whispered softly. “Merry
Christmas to all.”
