Hey Dad, it’s Rocdog! Living it up in the afterlife- frolicking at the doggie park, munching on my fav kibble, and navigating the social paw-litics of Spencerville! Miss you lots, but I promise I’m spreading joy (with a side order of shenanigans), just like you taught me. Love and slobbers, Your Fur-ever Son Rocco.

Oh boy, oh boy. You wouldn’t believe the day I had. You know how humans have this saying, “Life’s a beach?” Well, turns out that sentiment doesn’t really change in the afterlife. Allow me to explain.

I woke up today in East Bulldog Bay, my new digs in Spencerville. It’s rather swanky, if you ask me. Smell of the ocean, beautiful sun to soak up – it’s quite the upgrade, really. But, of course, what is life (or afterlife) without a pinch of the old shenanigans?

So, there I was, attempting to hide my favorite squeaky possum under the giant cushion in the Pooch Playhouse – well, what did you expect? Spots don’t change and all that jazz. As it turns out, hiding things becomes significantly harder when you’ve got a hundred other buddies eyeing your every move.

In walks Cleo, the snooty Maltese from Fawn Cream Maltese Meadow, giving me an elitist snort. “Rocco,” she tutted, “Your brutish ways are sooo primitive.” I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at her.

Next, I head to Chow Down Chow Chow for a bite. Me loving everything, I chow down on some deluxe kibble, while sneakily passing the veggies onto Scooby the chow chow sitting next to me. “Veggies, Scooby old chap. Good for the fur,” I wink.

The rest of the day was me doing all those things I loved – making rounds of the dog park, floating in East Bulldog Bay, and running from the unpleasant noise of Joe the Janitor’s weird machine.

But hey! I heard a rumor about a mysterious motorcycle ride up at Chihuahua Castle tomorrow. A triumph of newfound independence, perhaps? Or the preamble to more hilarious shenanigans? Who knows!

This afterlife isn’t too bad if I say so myself. I miss my humans – their snuggles, meal times with mouth-watering morsels, and the endless car rides. But while I wait, I’m keeping their memories alive, one adventure at a time. And just between you and me, there’s a delicious sense of expectancy in the air. Every sunrise feels like a promise that we’re one day closer to our grand reunion.

So, as you see it’s quite a riveting existence here at Spencerville. Life as a beach? Please, it’s an entire bay of fun! Time to snooze now, much love and slobber, yours truly, Rocco.

The End.
