Rocky’s Story:
From Photoshoot to Favorite T-Shirt
Woof woof! Hi, my name’s Rocky! I’m the coolest golden retriever in the whole world, and I’ve got something to tell you!
You know, my owner Ilze had been looking at me kind of funny for a while. “Rocky, you’re so photogenic,” she kept saying. I have no idea what that means, but I wagged my tail anyway – it sounded like a compliment!
One fine day, Ilze took me to this strange place. There were bright lights and a stranger with a black box. “Sit, Rocky! Wait, Rocky! Smile, Rocky!” Of course I listened – they promised me a treat afterwards! I smiled so wide I nearly swallowed my tongue – WOW, I was amazing!
A few days later, Ilze was squealing with joy while looking at the computer. “Rocky, come here, look how gorgeous you are!” I ran over, but all I saw on the screen was… me. Why was she so excited? I look amazing every day!
And then – magic happened! My photo appeared on fabric! Ilze put it on and walked around showing everyone. “Look, look, this is my Rocky!” And everyone stared – not at the real me, but at T-shirt-me! How weird is that?
Now Ilze wears that shirt almost every day. She says, “It’s more than clothing – it’s warmth from the heart I can carry with me everywhere!”
Honestly, I don’t get it – why does she need a shirt with my picture when she can take the real me? I’m fluffier, cuddlier, and I give high fives! But humans are strange – they get so excited about pictures.
Maybe I need a shirt with Ilze’s picture too? Woof woof! Though, who would sew one in dog size? For now, I’ll just keep being my fabulous self and pose even more – maybe next time I’ll get not just a treat, but a whole steak!
❤ Yours truly,
Rocky (who’s totally up for another photoshoot… if snacks are involved).
