Marlin PawWord Story
Hey Grandma! So, I’ve become the ‘gentle giant’ of a place called Pawsburg. Basically oversee dog theatrics around town from doggie days out to fashion faux ‘paws’ at Barking Boutique. Coped with the cacophony of city sounds (not my favorite), even managed an impromptu dip in Poodle Pond (Yikes!). Oh, you should see me in my new bow tie. Signing off, your peanut-butter-loving ‘Marley Moo’. Woof! Love, Marlin.
As the hound of honor and implicating garb of being the ‘gentle giant’ of Pawsburg, quite a responsibility accosted the broad but tender shoulders of Marlin. To think I, a stirring Goldador, was the helmsman of this pet federation, still sat amusingly with me.
Lower Silver Siberian Summit, Shih Tzu Stadium, Poodle Pond, each of them a marvel in itself, yet captained by us, the convivial coalition of canines! It was on one such regular mid-afternoon, while discoursing on crucial matters, that I, along with my council of companions, found ourselves in the Barking Boutique. Luna, the impish sister of Penny, wriggled in her pink Parisian ensemble, mimicking her peer – Shorts, in scorn.
My second in command, Penny Lane, scoffed at the sight, “Marlin, why again are we here?” Her speckled white coat glistening under the shop lights.
“Because, dear Penny, the Spring ball at the Shih Tzu Stadium is fast approaching. I’ve never seen you accost a dashing cockapoo in a tuxedo before,” I casually replied as I eyed an imposing bow tie that would complement my yellow coat.
As the day lulled into the evening, we ventured into our favorite joint, The Fetching Deli. The fragrance of bacon and cheese hang dense in the air, dancing lusciously around our snouts. I sniffed a bit, reminiscing how such pleasures were a blessing. Sweet, sweet sustenance – lettuce and tomatoes excluded, of course. Who ever heard of a dog savoring those? The mere idea was preposterous… blasphemous almost.
“Marlin, head’s up!” Odie called out as he lobbed a Frisbee my way. Catching the toy mid-air, I trotted back victoriously, Sebastian the Emphalempt toy dangling proudly from my slobbering mouth.
I promise you, dear reader, these are no mere trifling affairs of Pawsburg. In our prestigious world, even the tiniest of errands had a whiff of grandeur about them. Imagine then what the actual affairs of the town would be like!
Yet, it was not all bed of roses. My gentle demeanor played facade to a well-hidden fear of loud noises. It was an awful paradox. Teetering on the edge of tranquil silence and disruptive noises, that was my everyday life! And don’t get me started on the travesty of swimming and bathing. I desired the solid promise of earth beneath my paws, not the treacherous liquid pathways.
Nevertheless, I had a duty. To protect and serve my people, even if it mean bearing a moist collar now and then for the sake of pausing for a moment by the Poodle Pond.
I am Marlin of Pawsburg, a beacon of canine camaraderie, task bearer of doghood and a purveyor of peanut butter kong delicacies. Most of all, I am just a loyal friend looking to keep his city wagging happily. My bustling day today was just a speck in the glittery and charming humdrum of Pawsburg. And tomorrow will be another story.
The End.
