Some nights in Pawsburg, when the sun starts its descent, and the humans curl up inside their comfortable homes, things begin to stir. Pawsburg isn’t your average town, but then again, the residents aren’t your average dogs. And tonight, I, Lola, your unconventional Australian Bulldog, will take center stage.

Setting off after dinner, I make my way towards the “Northern Choco Chihuahua Castle”, careful to avoid the bustling hubbub of daytime Pawsburg. The stiff-chinned Chihuahuas running the show are notorious gossip mongers, but they also know everything that needs to be known. First thing’s first, I need to clear my name.

In the wee hours of the morning, I’m accused of causing a ruckus at “Chow Down Chow Chow”. Anyone who knows me knows I’m the kind of dog that will romp through White Westie Woods. Maybe even scale the fences of Golden Gate Gardens for a sniff. But throw a salad ruckus? Not in a million cheeseburgers, would I do such a thing.

I enter the grand castle. Their leader, Duke, a temperamental character, often seen with a scepter and a crown, looks down his snout at me. I plead my case, reminding him of my deep-rooted affection for cheeseburgers and my vehement disdain for salads.

“Besides,” I wagged my tail, “I was sunbathing in my backyard, wrestling with my Kong chew toy at the time of the incident.”

After several tense moments, Duke finally declares there’s been a mistake. Before I can wag my tail twice, I am bounding towards “The Pawsome Pet Pharmacy”. It is run by a delightful old dog named Peggy.

Peggy, aside from being the town’s premier pharmacist, is my closest ally. When she hears of my trumped-up salad charges, she chuckles and tosses me a cheeseburger from next door’s Furrific Fried Chicken.

“It’s their newest concoction,” she winks. “A double cheeseburger with frizzle fried chicken.”

The entire incident has left me restless. Talk about your jailbreak, it was almost as if someone had brought out the vacuum cleaner. I decided to pay a visit to ‘Happy Hounds Dog Walking’. Of all the places in Pawsburg, it’s the one spot where I always feel at peace. Like the calm after you’ve chased away the delivery person.

By the time I am heading home, dawn’s first light is filtering through the Golden Gate Gardens, and I hum a little doggie tune. My adventure papers over, and tales to tell, all part of another eventful day in Pawsburg. So much for a tranquil evening. Tomorrow, who knows? It’s NB: Never Boring in Pawsburg.

The End.
