“Hey Ma, Spencerville’s wild. Been frolicking in Westie Woods, munching on bagels, and hustling at Shih Tzu Stadium. Almost went full spy mode on a spooky van. Did my doggy duty of keeping things exciting here. Won’t swap it for all the treats in the world! Your adventuring pup, Mill Pond. 🐾”

Listen to the story here.

If I’d told you the tales of Spencerville, you wouldn’t believe ’em. It’s not every day a town has dogs living a human-like existence. I’m Millie by the way, you know, the charming one, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel!

Let me take you through a day in my pawfect life. Mornings started in the Groom Room where I would reluctantly subject myself to ear cleaning, I’d rather be playing fetch with Eeyore. Quick note, Eeyore is not a Donkey from the Hundred Acre Woods, but my chewing buddy.

Mid-mornings were for exploring the White Westie Woods. I still remember the thrill of it. Hopping through the underbrush, the crunching leaves under my paws, the smell of adventure in the woods, and the odd pinecone I’d kick aside. It was exhilarating.

Then I’d head towards the Doggy Bagel Deli and boy! You haven’t experienced Spencerville if you haven’t tasted their Beef Scheherazade Bagel. They have a pineapple pasta too, I swear it’s nirvana to my taste buds, but the pinnacle of culinary wonder is found in their Chicken Florentine Sausage Roll. I’m telling ya, if I were to hide a pink diamond, it would be in one of those sausage rolls.

Afternoon strolls in the Shih Tzu Stadium were my favorite. That’s where I used to hustle with Emmerson, Ace, Henry and Shiloh, under the golden light of the afternoon sun.

Oh, that reminds me of the Incident. Yeah, capital I, Incident. One afternoon, a mysterious black vehicle showed up. You know the saying “curiosity killed the cat”? Well, curiosity nearly got this dog in big-time trouble. Being the brave soul I am, I decided to investigate. Man, was that an adventure! Sneaky around, sniffing for clues and corners, it was like I was in an action movie, except there were no kibble breaks.

The result? I never got close enough to find out who was in the vehicle, but I can tell you one thing, the excitement was worth the mystery. And Spencerville hasn’t been the same since.

So, if you envy me, don’t. I love my life here and wouldn’t trade it for a lifetime supply of doggy treats, honestly though, that’s a close call. Spencerville – where legends are made and dogs have a helluva good time!

The End.
