This is basically a remaining/retelling of two episodes of the TV show. This mostly adheres to the continuity of the second season, two notable major changes to the setup are that Holly still owns the pound(rather than Katrina), and in order to find homes for dogs and cats, Barkerville now has a computer program. (Rather than the strange psychic powers the Pound Puppies used before-although they still certainly do have "Puppy Power!") The setup is otherwise the same; also, as in my other fanfics, Violet, Barkerville, Scrounger, Flack, Tubbs, and Dabney Nabbit are part of the cast, the latter of whom now works for Katrina and is the(previously unseen) driver of the Dog Snatcher wagon. Like a few characters in the second season, Nabbit also now has a catch phrase: "I'll nab 'em, and I'll nab 'em good!" Some elements of the story have been altered, too(But I won't give them away). Please enjoy, and, as the ever-quotable Brighteyes herself might say, a hap-hap-Happy Mother's Day to all!(More info on these continuity changes can be found on my blog, the Keeper of the Fun blog!)
Nose Marie Day
It's a lovely day in New York City. Cooler, Violet, Whopper, and Brighteyes, the latter of whom is toting her beloved rag doll Patches under her arm, are walking through the park. A little blonde-haired girl is serving lunch to her mother, who's sitting at a picnic table nearby. "Happy Mother's Day, Mommy!"
"Oh, sweetie, thank you!" the girl's mother gives her a hug.
"Oh, how sweet!" Violet says. The Pound Puppies walk on a bit further and come across a pair of little sheepdog pups who are digging in the dirt and then present their mother with a gift-wrapped bone. The mother sheepdog gives a happy thank you bark, and gives her children a cuddle. Nearby, three small brown kittens present their mother with a large tuna on a dish. The mother cat meows a thank you, and gives her children kisses.
Cooler sighs contentedly. "Now, ain't that darling. You gotta love it when folks show their mothers how much they care."
"Hey, I got a idea!" Whopper pipes up. "Why don't we do somethin' real special for Mother's Day today?"
"But…we don't have a mother." Brighteyes replies.
"Well, Nose Marie's like a mother." Violet replies. "Perhaps we could do something special for her today."
"Ooh, that sounds great!" Brighteyes replies enthusiastically. "This'll be her nifty-special day where we do all her work for her!"
"That's an excellent idea, Brighteyes. I hereby declare this Nose Marie Day!" Cooler replies importantly.
