Hey Mom and Dad, it’s Baby here, living the dog’s dream in Spencerville. Chasing tail tales with Princess Victoria, exploring the delis, picking some bones, and yeah occasionally getting blamed for some messy pantry investigations! Missing you all during ear cleaning day though. Anyway it’s my lovely canine chaos and I wouldn’t exchange it for a mountain of treats! Wet snouts and wagging tails from Vincent.

Listen to the story here

In the lovely town of Spencerville, where every road leads to a delicious biscuit, and every snout is beautifully wet and pink, I was just another tail-wagger. Now, where shall I begin? Well, I’m Vincent, the Newfoundland with the freckled face. You may have heard of me, but if not, let me assure you, I’m not just any ordinary pal.

I don’t care much for rabbit chases, although I do have a peculiar fondness for the occasional couch nap. And oh, don’t get me started with toys. The pickle ones filled with treats? Those are my bane of existence. I delight in exploring the corners of Siberian Summit, and the secret alleys behind The Snooty Snout Boutique, and the morning air of Spencerville, which carries the smell of homemade fish and biscuits from the Fetching Deli, is to me just, well, fetching.

Oh, and then there’s Princess Victoria. She’s a Saint Bernard, you know, my are-we-really-from-the-same-litter sister. Together we rule over Husky Hill, as regally as any dog could, all under the amused charisma of our loving humans.

Living in such splendid tranquillity is a dream, but Spencerville was not always this cozy. There was that time last winter, a misunderstanding really, when I ended up getting blamed for the floury mess in the pantry. Well, I knew I was innocent but my eager nose rummaging through the pasta and flour bags (just for the thrill of it, mind you), gave everyone a rather, should we say, misleading impression.

Ear cleaning day is another ordeal. Often, the sensation has a similar effect on me as the unwelcome rain on my fur. And when the tranquil house plunges into a dreadful silence, even a harmonious basket full of bones doesn’t satisfy. I miss my human parents and Princess Victoria; oh, how the solitude pinches my heart. It’s a strange thing, emotion, making the proud Vincent tremble.

Yet, there’s loads to love about living here. Like my nightly dental bone ritual or breezing down Black Bulldog Bay without a care in the world. These are the simple pleasures of life that make me thankful to be in Spencerville, where every day is a melodrama that unfolds beneath the welcoming arch of The Pooch Playhouse as we breathe in the aroma wafting from Paws-A-Latte. Life in our melodious town is indeed the life of Vincent.

So yes, it’s no ordinary existence. It’s a splendid parade of carnivalesque moments, of subtle dramas, of tail-wagging escapades, with little dabs of peacefulness thrown in. How do I best explain it? Perhaps, in much simpler words: Welcome to Spencerville, friends, and the delightful world of Vincent.

The End.
