The Villages - September 2021 - 5

" They're easy to take care of - low maintenance, "
she said. " I've always liked the smooth coats. I can just
put her in the sink for a bath. I've never liked a smelly
dog, and she's a lap dog so I keep her very clean. "
Aside from being well groomed, Tinkerbell is also
well dressed, often flaunting fluffy skirts and dresses.
When in high fashion, she likes to twirl for an audience,
and is especially proud of her skills. She's a member
of the doggy circus, a troupe of trickster pups that
perform to raise money for Patriot
Service Dogs, a volunteer organization
that pairs trained
dogs with disabled veterans.
During shows, delighted
onlookers explode with laughter as dogs drive miniature
cars, cruise across the stage on skateboards and do
hosts of zany stunts as Villager Dotty Crain, ringmaster,
tells stories coinciding with the acts. It's a quirky
and creative show during which dogs cut loose for the
crowds and donations help fund a great cause.
" This is one of her circus costumes, " Nancy says, as
she slides off Tinkerbell's dress and wriggles on a beefier
get-up - camouflage pants, a belt of ammunition, a
pair of muscled arms and a frothy black wig. In another
skit, Tinkerbell plays a pygmy giraffe.
" She's a show off, " Nancy said. " People go nuts for
the dogs, and it's a lot of fun. "
