In Spencerville, a land that transcends typical pet enthusiast lore, I found myself living my second innings. Here, I wasn’t merely Vincent the Newfoundland. I was Vincent, the Prince of East Pug Palace.

Among the myriad of adventures that awaited me in Spencerville, nothing could quite match opulence of the Pup-Tastic Pizza. The delicious smell of the unique fish-flavoured pizza, prepared specially for my sensitive palate, wafted through the air, tantalising my shortened snout. Who ever thought the after-life could satiate cravings too?

There were a plethora of places to explore; Collie Canyon called out to me but not as much as the Western Labradoodle lake did. It was a water body fit for a Prince. Its shimmery surface sang songs of tranquility, somewhat reminiscent of my serene backyard back home. I reveled in this embrace of familiarity, it was an unexpected but welcomed comfort amidst my new royal life.

I had no desire for the expanse of the golden beach nor the arid terrains of the desert, unlike some of the other noble hounds of Spencerville. I loved my quiet calm, after all, a prince has his whims, doesn’t he?

It goes without saying that Spencerville had its fearsome creatures too, big hounds with fearsome barks. For them, thrones mattered more than dreams. But I wasn’t one to get caught up in their frivolous tussles. Instead, I favored spending my days under the soft violet umbrella at the Bark ‘n’ Roll cafe, munching on my favorite Dental-Bone biscuits.

My sister, Victoria found her happiness in Canine Couture Clothing. My oh my, did she prance around each time there was a new sparkling dress or a chic collar in store. I must admit, the tiaras did compliment her regal personality.

We each carved our niches in Spencerville, in this nearly perfect world. I regret nothing, except the thunderous downpour that the land sometimes witnessed. Even in this dreamlike existence, rain touched a nerve. But alas, we can’t have it all, can we?

Though I was the noble Vincent here, to everyone in Spencerville, I was a friend first. I trotted around, my hefty 170 lbs not just a manifestation of my royal stature, but more importantly, my large loving heart. My unique quirks framed stories whispered throughout the town, bearing testament to who I truly was – brave, calm, stubborn, just a tad bit frightened, and forever loyal.

As we wove tales of our lives in this magical land, we, noble hounds of Spencerville, found solace in our shared knowledge of reunion. We missed our human parents, but we knew that a day would dawn where we’d cease to wait.

That, in itself, gave Spencerville a sparkle, an aura of anticipation that painted even the bluest days. After all, every day in Spencerville started with the sun’s promise of reunion and ended with the moon’s cradle of dreams. And I’d like to believe that every place under their watch would certainly ripple out an echo of their joyous sentiments, reaching the hearts of every Spencerville hound’s waiting human.

The End.
