The article partially reads, "The shower was for Jill's four new puppies...Twelve women were invited to attend the shower by formal engraved invitations. 'Barb is so proud of those puppies,' Mrs. Sutton explained, 'that I thought it would be a good gag if we had a baby shower-she talks about them just as if they were real babies.' Jill, a purebred cocker spaniel, delivered her first litter at 5 a.m. last Monday, assisted by Mrs. Herle's husband, Frank."
