Two Kinds of Buttons

Once upon a time, there was a Girl Who Loved Buttons- pink buttons,

buttons on cards,
what she called her "special" buttons,
white buttons,


green buttons- most any kind of button.



The girl had a friend who had a Yorkie dog named Twinkle and Twinkle was expecting puppies.




When the puppies were born, there were six tiny little treasures- three girls and three boys.









The friend of the Girl Who Loved Buttons said "I'd like to give you a puppy for your birthday




...and your husband has already said it was ok".










The puppies were too little to leave Twinkle right away, and that gave the Girl Who Loved Buttons a chance to think of the perfect name for her puppy. She drove home from the friend's house and looked at all the road signs along the way.











Eudora- how about Dory?






Evening Star Rd-maybe his name could be Star.






Sunflower Ammunition Plant- maybe Sunny.






Kill Creek Rd- no, no good ideas there.






Moonlight Rd- Moony?






Woodland Road- Woody?

No, none of those seemed quite right.






The girl sat down at her computer and saw a card of buttons next to the monitor- and knew- her puppy should be named BUTTON.





A few weeks later, Button came home to live with his much bigger brother, Buddy;






and even bigger sister Maddie. And he's been our cute as a button puppy ever since.

love all of the pix, but your pup's name is adorable!
Six puppies...who would have thought little Twinkle could have six babies! I cried as I saw the three of your guardians sleeping together. I have a Yorkie/Maltese loved one named Rosie. She is my pride and joy and my constant companion! Button you are one lucky little Yorkie! Blessings, Mary Helen

Beth,

What a cute post! Button is perfect, he looks like a button. Cute as a button (another bad pun). Mostly I'm just happy he didn't end up Kill Creek Rd!

Named my Scottie dog Button 9 years ago and still enjoy calling her. And some of the little kiddies we watch have called her "But" which gives us a chuckle. Also collect buttons and have wooden ones on several window sills which my dad crafted from a pic in Pottery Barn.One last funny, at bedtime we say, "Button up."
