Hey Ma, it’s Tango, your favorite handsome bulldog. All’s good in Spencerville, still enjoying cucumbers and cheese, a true Gourmet. Dealing with a bit of a doggone situation with new bulldog Max, but don’t worry, working on my good-dog redemption. P.S. No more walks or ear-cleaning sessions here, big yay. Miss ya, need a cucumber-cheeseburger combo? Love, Boo Boo.

I’m Tango; yes, THAT Tango. The bulldog with a physique that gives David Beckham a run for his money. My fawn coated swagger with a dash of white, pairs perfectly with my square jaw and lion-like paws. And no one, I repeat, NO ONE, can match the light in my eyes. Now, don’t get it twisted – I’m more than just looks.

I might be residing in Spencerville, the cats’ pajamas of cities for pets-after-life, but every Saturday, you’ll find me in my spot. The sun-kissed corner right outside Howling Husky Hardware Store, triumphantly chewing on the crunchiest cucumber you’ve ever heard. Cheese usually follows, it’s my version of the dessert.

Why cucumbers? Well, Spencerville is all about breaking stereotypes. Plus, you got to keep your waistline in check. You ever see a pudgy David Beckham?

Life’s pretty interesting here. Unlike home, there are no irritating vacuum cleaners, no accidental ear-cleaning sessions. Boy, I hated that! And don’t even get me started on the forced walks. Imagine trying to coax an independent soul like me into something so pedestrian. Walks! Where’s the creativity in that?

Everything was just dandy until the new bulldog, Max arrived. Can you tell that I’ve been replaced as the top dog in town already? Just because I had a tiny altercation with him over a tennis ball. Not my best moment, I admit. But hey, it wasn’t MY fault that it seemed he had more than one ball. That hurt, man. Right in the ego.

So, I’m working on the how-to-be-good-again-101 these days. I’ve heard whispers about this place called Silicone Valley (the silicone being a big thing in tennis balls and all) and I think that’s my ticket to redemption.

In the meantime, I’m taking it slow. I’ve got my pals at Western Fawn Pug Palace keeping me in check, and the crew at Bow Wow Burgers are providing comfort food upon every minor setback – a triple cheeseburger with a cucumber slice on the side, please.

Maybe getting better takes time, but dig me, I’m gonna make it. As they say, life’s beautiful in the chase. And chase, my friend, has been my game since the word ‘fetch’ was invented.

The End.
