“Hey ma, woke up craving drumsticks at dawn. Sunned my fur by Labradoodle Lake & then devoured some chicken at Bone Appetit. Fashion’s still questionable at Tail Wagger’s Tailor. Helped some lost newbies find Bow Wow Burgers, expanded my friendly circle. Sunset at South Siberian lit up the sky real fine. Life’s groovy in Pawsburg, as your three-pawed Mr P!”

Listen to the story here.

The light of dawn was barely creeping over the horizon when I awoke, shaking off the comfort of sleep and the warm hypnotic dreams of chicken drumsticks dancing before my eyes. Pawsburg was beckoning me for another day of beachside frolicks and social mingling. I’m Mister Pemberton, by the way. You probably heard of me. Three-legged charmer of this delightful town. Apart from the abhorrent vet visits and the godforsaken ear-cleanings, life is pretty good.

I started my day in the usual way; a quick sunbathe by Labradoodle Lake. Ain’t nothing like that first burst of morning sun on a perfectly groomed, black coat. The warmth seeping in, fueling me for the day’s escapades.

After a rejuvenating sunbathe and a brief play with the squeaky Chinese dumpling – put there by my good human friend – I found myself wandering to Bone Appetit. The waitstaff there understand my distinguished palate quite well. Chicken, please –hold the broccoli.

Content with a belly of warm chicken, I then made my way to The Tail Wagger’s Tailor, the fashion in Pawsburg has been dwindling somewhat of late and I do enjoy a good browse. Just as I was surveying a rather scandalous coat, I saw out of the corner of my eye a group of unfamiliar dogs making their way toward Husky Hill. I hate to see newbies in town unguided and Husky Hill, despite its reputation, had a cruel way of leaving newcomers lost. And so, being the wonderful pug I am, I sauntered over.

As I introduced myself to them, a flash of nerves crossed their faces. They were trying to find their way to Bow Wow Burgers but had gotten turned around. Guffawing, I decided to guide them, adding a few more buddies to my incredible roster of friends. Pawsburg was our playground, and they were eager to start exploring.

The day wound down like a well-played symphony, full of joyous moments and bonding. Our day ended with a mellow sunset, the bright, colorful hues of golden, pink, and purple bathing the South Siberian Summit in a magical glow. I said goodbye to my new friends and warmed up to my favorite cuddle partner, my loving human parent.

Living a three-pawed life in a dog-eat-dog world can be tough sometimes, but in Pawsburg, it’s pretty grand. And let me tell you this, there’s no place like home, especially if that home is Pawsburg.

The End.
