Hey Mom, went on adventures today, including the beach and Dapper Salon! Pulled a funny prank at groomers, turned poodles into cream puffs. Saved the vet hospital from a rogue banana again. Was the life of the party at Bistro, even my toy got cheers! Night ended with stargazing in the meadow. Another day well-spent in Spencerville. Love, Sugar-face.

Well, hello there, fellow pet lover. Gather your bones, pull up a pet bed, it’s story time in the old dog park. Remember our man Kirby?

There were few critters in Spencerville that carried the mantle of adorable bravery like our boy Kirby. Trudging down Bulldog Boulevard, he commanded respect and puppy-like affection from all. An English Bulldog, bright as a new penny, and stubborn as they came. His favored hotspot? Brindle Brown Boxer Beach, where he would chase waves with the tenacity of a young pup staking claim on his first stick.

I remember one particular cool, crisp Spencerville day, he strutted into The Dapper Dog Salon on Frenchie Fashion Avenue. As mischievous as he was stubborn, he’d often sneak away from his usual romps at Doggy Donuts to pull the old switcheroo on the unsuspecting groomers there. His heart-held disdain for baths was well-known, so he’d cleverly replace the bubble bath mix with fresh cream from The Woofy Bakery. Watching grown poodles turn into frothy, cream puff doppelgängers, he’d retreat to Labradoodle Lake, rolling on the sandy banks in sheer mirth.

Despite his little pranks, every Spencervillian adored Kirby. His loyalty radiated like warmth from a sun-kissed puppy pile, especially during his shifts at the St. Bernards’ Veterinary Hospital. His fierce, protective nature surfaced in the face of danger – particularly when the odd unattended banana threatened to stink up the ward. His face would scrunch up in distaste as he’d bark the fruity hazard out of a room, ensuring the health and safety of his patients.

Off-duty, Kirby’s joyous spirit really shone. at Bow Wow Bistro, over a plateful of sparkling, crispy goldfish crackers. He couldn’t see a cracker without bounding in a bulldog version of a pirouette. His joy was infectious, even his purple dinosaur squeaky toy got a round of applause after his ritual presentation.

In the calm of the night, Kirby lay under the iridescent Spencerville stars in Fawn Cream Maltese Meadow, knowing that this was indeed his home. His dog park, his pet-town, where he’d chew bones, wag tails, and wait to reunite with those he loved endlessly. That was Kirby, our beloved bulldog-prankster-healer, living his best canine-life in the heart of Spencerville.

The End.
