The real Paulie

Real Life Paulie

Paulie’s story began in 2001 when he joined our family. We met him in an antique store! There he was, a one-inch white, plastic marmot with a price tag of one dollar. When we got him in our truck, we realized Paulie had no way of standing on the dash so he could see where we were going on our adventures.
