“Dad, kickin’ it here in Pawsburgh, my secret canine paradise. Savor corned beef and vanilla ice cream at the Bark Shak – it’s my office! Today, endured grooming at Lilly’s & Lil Rosie’s insistence and heard of Baker nabbing the Red Jolly Ball. Life’s an adventurous blend of play and the occasional tussle. Reality’s a dog’s dream here! 🐾🐕 -Bobo”

Listen to the story here.
I’m Albert, a sturdy English Bulldog, loving life in the endearing town of Pawsburgh. This canine paradise comes to life when human eyes rest, and four-legged denizens awake to a world of adventure. It’s a place only we know about.

Every day, I saunter into the heart of Pawsburgh, warmly greeted by the folks at the East Bulldog Bay. The beach is my chosen sanctuary for recreation, with the vanilla-hued sands matching the speck of white between my eyes. With Grogu, my loyal stuffed comrade tightly clutched between my teeth, I’d plod along the beach, a broad doggy smile plastered across my jowling face.

Pawsburgh is a sanctuary for us dogs, but for me, it’s more than that, it’s my office. While it might not align completely with the corporate world, it’s a buzzing hub much like the offices ‘hoomans’ hop into each day.

Let me guide you to my favorite midday relaxation joint, The Bark Shak. Its piquant corned beef, a familiar comfort, and the vanilla ice cream, perfection! It’s the highlight of my lunch hour, anything but the seafood, and I’m all set. Though unusual for a dog, you’d never find me sniffing ravenously around their dog treats. Lemonheads, though; that’s a different story.

Today, we decided to hold a meeting at The Groom Room; decided, or more accurately, forced by Lilly and Lil Rosie. Frequent grooming is not my favorite agenda. But, I put on a brave face, being the team player I am. Walking into The Groom Room, thoughts of my arch-nemesis, the vacuum cleaner, became all too real.

Later in the day, I heard rumors around the Pawsome Pancakes that Baker had captured the prized Red Jolly Ball. A pang of unspoken rivalry formed within me. But that’s life here in Pawsburgh–filled with camaraderie, playful competition, the occasional grooming appointment, meetings over mouth-watering meals, and ventures full of canine adventure.

Whether it’s engaging our doggy minds at Best in Show Photography, sharing a hearty helping of pizza at Pupperoni Pizza or escaping from the hum-drum with an outing to the South Siberian Summit, Pawsburgh is our surreal doggy office. A pet’s paradise where dreams meet reality.

So that’s my life in the office of Pawsburg, the life of Albert, supposedly timid, a little stubborn, and an ever-dashing English Bulldog. Life here is an adventure where we dogs aren’t merely existing. We are living. And this is my story.
