Norman PawWord Story
Hey Mom and Pop, just thought I’d update you on my beach-meets-the-Ocean’s-Eleven adventure! Normiekins, the cheese-pilfering Sherlock, led our misfit crew of tail waggers on a daring midnight cheese heist at The Pooch Playhouse. Ya wouldn’t believe it! The sly wagging of his tail as dawn broke, cheese in mouth, was nothing less than triumphant. Pawsburg adventures, what a life! Hugs and sloppy kisses, Norman.
Mad saucepans and slippers! I watched Norman that night, his little head calmly bobbin’ to and fro to the rhythm of his sleep, oblivious to the grand scheme that was churnin’ in that mind of his. It started as a rumor—a good ol’ rumor that there was a crate full of the rarest and tastiest cheeses stored over at The Pooch Playhouse in Pawsburg. And as tales often do, it slowly slipped into Norman’s keen ears. My Norman was set on his objective; he was poised to outsmarten the cleverest minds of our dog-loving town.
We sat in Cream Maltese Meadow, watchin’ the day lighten, Norman’s eyes sparklin’ with the audacity of the plot he was hatchin’. Our mission? A midnight cheese caper in Pawsburg. Oh, what a sight it was, that assembly of wild-eyed, cheese-loving rascals of dogs. They listened with bated breath to a terrier-and-beagle mix, not more than knee-high to a bull, as he laid out the grand scheme, his brave spirit fillin’ the meadow.
It was a cold, moonlit night, the kind that chills you to the bones. But it was as if Norman had forgotten what cold felt like; the mere prospect of impending mirth seemed to warm him right up. We slipped into the cloaked night, one foot in front of the other, pretendin’ to be less excited than we were.
Past the Ruff-n-Ready, and toward Whiskers and Wings we went, our eyes glanced at the soft glow from Chow Down Chow Chow, our stomach rumbled but we had a job to do and drifted I under the weight of our silly pursuit.
We were off to The Tail Wagger’s Tailor, briefly stopping in front of Spa for Paws. Tender whispers of the night wind rustled through the silence of Pawsburg while our shenanigans carried on. Then it dawned upon me—you never really know a dog till you’ve plotted a cheese heist with him at midnight.
Once inside The Pooch Playhouse, the game was afoot. All had a part to play, from the brutish muscle to the nimble sneak, but the star was Norman, his clear eyes twinklin’ with the schemin’.
As the sun began to creep above the horizon, we bounded out, loot in tow. Tumble and run, turn and laugh, all the way back through Shih Tzu Stadium to lively Upper Collie Canyon. As the sun came up, we returned home, heads held high, hearts filled with triumphant cypher.
The terrier and beagle in Norman wagged with satisfaction as he bit into his hard-earned cheese in the safety of our own backyard. That’s the thing about old Norman. He’s not just a good dog; he’s a good planner, a good friend, a good conspirator. As the adventure came to an end, one thing was for sure—our little Boston Terrier and Beagle mix knew how to win.
So as dawn broke, paws tired from the toil of a fair night’s mischief, we watched the sunrise. The tales of the grand heist, the midnight treats, and daybreak would become anecdotes among us. That’s the life in Pawsburg, a life full of whims and cheese, dogs and dreams, and adventures unending, a life where an orange ball, and a slight obsession with cheese, could lead to.
The End.
