Paul the CP Puppy Plays Wheelchair Basketball

It was Monday morning and Roger and all the other therapy dogs were having a meeting at Care City Hospital.

Marvin said ’’Welcome to the Monday afternoon meeting everyone now, does anyone have any ideas on how we should entertain the patients?”

Roy the Rottweiler said “We should have wrestling matches.”

Marvin said “No! I don’t want any of you guys getting hurt.”

Benny the Saint Bernard said “We should have races in the swimming pool, I have been working on my doggie paddle.”

Marvin said “Good idea but, last time we did that there was lots of dog hair in the pool.”

Willie the Wiener Dog said “We should play golf.”

Marvin said “No! Are younger patients rather watch paint dry than watch us play golf.” Willie the Weiner Dog got upset and said ’’They don’t know what boring is.”

Marvin said’’ Does anyone else have any ideas?

Marvin looked over at Roger and saw him texting on his phone.

Marvin said “Roger, you know you're not allowed to use your phone during our meeting. Who are you texting anyway?”

Roger said “I’m texting my owner.”

Marvin said ’’Your owner is performing heart surgery. Why are you texting him?” It’s an emergency!” Roger’s owner Michael was performing heart surgery, and Roger texted him “Can you please buy me some bacon flavored dog treats?”

“Well, Roger do you have any ideas on how we can entertain the patients?”

“I think we should play basketball.”

Marvin said “Basketball? That sounds like a great idea.”

All the other therapy dogs thought basketball was a great idea except Paul the CP Puppy.

Paul was using his doggie wheelchair and he said, “Basketball is a great idea, but I can’t play.” Roger said “Of course, you can Paul. We can play wheelchair basketball.”

Paul said “Really? That sounds like a lot of fun!” All the therapy dogs were excited and couldn’t wait to play basketball. The next day Roger walked into the hospital.

Harry the Black Lab said’’ Hey Roger, Follow me I have something to show you.”

Roger said “Ok.”

As Roger followed Harry, he noticed he was using a doggie wheelchair. Harry walked toward two big side by side doors. Harry pushed the left door open with his paw. Roger followed Harry through the door. As Roger followed Harry, he soon realized that he was walking into a basketball gym.

Roger looked around the gym, and saw all the therapy dogs in wheelchairs. Most of them were trying to shoot basketballs into the basketball hoops. The basketball gym was huge it had a big wooden floor and arena seating. Some of the therapy dogs were sitting on a bench. Harry said to Roger, “What do you think of our basketball gym? We built it last night.” Roger said’’ It's amazing!”

Harry said’’I know! Our first game is tonight, against the therapy dogs at Humble Hospital.” Harry gave Roger a light green basketball jersey and a wheelchair to use.

“Hey, Where’s Paul at?” Roger asked.

Harry said’’ He’s over there. Roger looked around and saw Paul shooting a basketball into a hoop. Paul was wearing a bright light green jersey.

Roger walked over to Paul and said “Hey Paul, are you ready for our first game tonight?” “Yeah, i’m so excited, basketball was a great idea Roger.”

“Thanks!”

Roger watched in amazement as Paul shot the basketball, and it went in the hoop every time. “Paul, I bet you all my dog treats I can shoot the basketball in the hoop.”

“All your dog treats, even the bacon flavored ones? “Yes, Paul!”

“You're on!”

Roger and Paul shook paws. Paul gave the basketball to Roger. Roger looked at Paul and said “Watch and learn kid.” Roger dribbled the basketball to the hoop. Roger aimed the basketball with his eyes and, shot it up in the air. The basketball bounced off the hoop and hit Roger in the face. Roger fell to the floor. Paul was laughing, and said’’No thanks, Roger I don’t want to learn how to get hit the face with a basketball.”

Roger said “Shut up, Paul!”

Later that night all the patient at the hospital were at the basketball game. A voice said “Ladies and gentleman welcome to the very first therapy dog basketball game! I’m Billy BullDog the world’s greatest dog sports announcer” Billy Bulldog was sitting behind a desk, wearing a grey tux with a red tie. Roger and the other therapy dogs were sitting in a locker room wearing their dark green jerseys. Marvin was wearing solid white shorts and a solid white baseball hat, with a whistle around his neck.

Marvin said “Ok guys, this is our first basketball game! Let’s have fun! Remember this is for the patients it doesn’t matter who wins or loses. Since this was Roger’s idea I decided to name the team, Roger and the Danger Dogs!” Everyone liked the name.

One of the therapy dogs said “How come I don’t have a jersey?”

Marvin said ’’Because I gave you the most important job. You're gonna be the mascot, Henry the Human. “The therapy dog said ’’I’m gonna be the mascot, Henry the Human?”

Marvin said “Yep!”

“I will be the best Henry the Human, I can be sir!”

“That’s what I like to hear, let’s get out there and win this game!”

Roger and the other therapy dogs shouted yeah and ran onto the basketball court. The game was going to start in two minutes. The therapy dogs from Humble Hospital started trash talking Roger and the other therapy dogs. One of the therapy dogs said”Hey Roger, your mother was at my dog house last night, and she made me some delicious dog treats.”

Roger said” You better shut up or I will give you a delicious treat. Roger was holding the basketball for the game, and said ”I will shove this basketball down your throat.”

The therapy dogs from Humble Hospital were wearing solid black jerseys, and solid black shorts. There were five therapy dogs on both teams. On the other side of the basketball court Roger”s girlfriend Ruby was wearing a cheer leading outfit. She was holding light green palm palms in both paws. The therapy dog standing next to her was also wearing a light green cheer leading outfit, and she was holding light green palm palms in her paws, her name was Coco. Coco was a little therapy dog, she was a papillion, she had black and white fur, big round ears, and small brown eyes. In the audience there were two dogs. The one dog said to the other dog, “I’m super excited for this game, are you Jeff? Jeff said ”Yes, I am Ned. Ned said “I’m really excited for this game, If the team scores 100 points every dog in the audience gets a free dog bone.”

Jeff said ”Really that’s awesome.”

Paul said “Anything is possible when I was born I was the weakest puppy in the litter, the vet said I might not make it, so anything is possible so you just have to believe in yourself.” “Thanks, Paul.

“No problem, Billy.”

Paul and the other therapy dogs walked back to the locker room. Paul and the other

Marvin walked in and said ”Paul, you had a great game. “Thanks, Uncle Marvin!

“I wish I could say the same for the rest of you. If we want to win another game, we need to work together as a team.”

The therapy dog that was in the mascot costume said ”How was I Marvin?”

“You were the best mascot I ever saw, your dance at the halftime show was incredible. Henry the Human did a great job.”

“Thanks, Marvin that really means a lot to me.”

Marvin said” Everyone needs more practice, except for Paul. The next game is next Friday.”

Ned and Jeff the two dogs that were sitting in the audience, were leaving the Hospital. Ned said,” That was a great game, wasn’t it Jeff?”

Jeff said “Yeah, it was.”

Ned said ”Paul the CP Puppy was awesome tonight Its too bad they didn’t score a hundred points. I really wanted a free dog bone oh well, maybe the next game.”

It was Friday night and Billy Bulldog was sitting behind the desk ready to announce the game. Billy said ”Hi! Everyone I’m Billy Bulldog, tonight will see Roger and the Danger Dogs face the therapy ducks from Dizzy Duck Hospital. Before the game started Paul was trash talking the therapy ducks.

Paul said” “Hey therapy ducks, after we win this game where gonna celebrate with some cheese and quackers.”

One of the therapy ducks said ”Yeah, that does sound good maybe when we win we will eat them at your mom’s dog house.”

Another therapy duck said ”Haha that was a great comeback bro, give me some wing.” The two therapy ducks slapped wings. The game began, Paul scored 20 points in 10 minutes. Everyone in the audience was wearing Paul’s light green jersey. Ned and Jeff we're watching the game.

Marvin said,” That was a great game, Paul scored 20 points in the game, and thanks to CoCo we sent all the therapy ducks back to their hospital in their own ambulance.” Coco said,” You're welcome, Marvin, it felt great to get revenge on those ducks for my father.” Officer Dale DogBone and Officer Wallace Wags walked in the locker room.

Dale said ”Hi Everyone!”

Leonard said ”Hi! Everyone welcome to our morning meeting, I hope everyone had some tuna and coffee. Does anyone have any news to report about Roger and the other therapy mutts?” Before anyone could say anything, Leonard’s cousin Clarence said ”Sorry I’m late.”

Leonard said ”Clarance I told you if you want to keep this job you have to show up on time.”

“I’m really sorry, is there any tuna and coffee left?”

“Tuna and coffee are only for the therapy cats who showed up to work on time.”

“I’m really sorry, it won’t happen again, you're my favorite cousin ever, you're the best cousin in the world.” Clarance was wearing a bright light green Paul the CP Puppy basketball jersey. Leonard saw that and said “What are you wearing?”

“It’s my Paul the CP Puppy basketball jersey.”

“So, Roger and the other therapy mutts are playing wheelchair basketball.” Yeah, and I have two tickets for their away game at Fish Out of Water Hospital, they're gonna be playing the therapy gold fish tonight.”

“Clarance, I will go to the game with you just to see how amazing Paul the CP Puppy is.” Clarance had tears in his eyes, and said ”Really! He ran toward Leonard and gave him a hug. Clarance said ”I get to spend quality time with my cousin.” Leonard became mad and slapped Clarance in the face a few times. Leonard shouted ”I told you I don’t like hugs!”

“I’m sorry, Leonard.” Leonard looked down at Clarance’s feet, and saw a black pair of sneakers “What are those on your feet?”

“Oh, you like my new shoes? There called Paul the CP Puppies.”
