DOGS GONE HOLLYWOOD:  A  Miniature Pinscher Tale   FEATURING  MAMIE  VAN DOREN AND FAMILY ~ STARRING STARLET AND RAINBOW ~             How the story begins:   Cato Min Pins' member, Alice Nolan of Nizhoni Min Pins. Arizona,                   USA,  was pleasantly surprised, one day in May 2003, when she     realized who the man was on the other end of the phone.  The         man named Thomas, calling to inquire about purchasing a Miniature   Pinscher puppy, was none other than the husband of Hollywood       legend and film star, Mamie Van Doren.   He said that Mamie was         considering a Miniature Pinscher as her choice of breed for canine   companionship.   After their phone conversation had ended, Alice      emailed  photos to them of the Miniature Pinsher puppies that she     currently had available.  One of them, Mamie wanted to see, in    particular, the chocolate-colored puppy with tan markings.              Mamie Van Doren chooses a Miniature Pinscher pup:   As soon as she set eyes on the picture of the adorable chocolate   Miniature Pinscher puppy, Mamie knew that this was the one for    her!  She contacted Alice right away, to arrange for the puppy to  be her future canine companion.  Alice agreed to deliver the lucky little puppy to Mamie's California home personally, by car, just as  soon as the puppy was entirely weaned and old enough to travel.        It wasn't long before Alice set out on her adventure to meet Mamie    Van Doren and introduce her to the sweet Min Pin pup who would be-      come part of her family.  She left Arizona, driving by car, and arrived           at Mamie's home in Newport Beach, California two days later.                      When the two finally meet,  Mamie Van Doren and the pup that she    later christians "Starlet",  it is apparent for all to see: this is a match made in heaven.  Why, they are made for each other!  Perhaps it is      that  sass, spunk, and energy that Miniature Pinschers are known for,       that Mamie finds so attractive.  One can't help but note these same fine            qualities in Mamie, herself.  No doubt, this is what Starlet finds endearing!     Mamie had this to say on her website homepage:      "Everyone say hello to Starlett, our new baby Miniature Pinscher. Thanks to Alice Nolan of  Nizhoni Min Pins in Humboldt, Arizona for the       picture and the new baby!  Alice knows Min Pins!"         "Starlet on her best behavior because she wants to go to lunch.   We take Starlet to lunch at a  couple of restaurants where the proprietors are understanding.                                               But elegant Troquet is not the place even for a       well-behaved young lady like Starlet.  She makes    one last plea, but, sadly, she stays home with     the birds."                                                                                                                           Email from Mamie!   Mamie sent Alice Nolan, of Nizhoni     Min Pins, an email on June 29, 2003
