Hey fam,

It’s your little Dixie Bear ruling with sass and charm in Pawsburg, the canine utopia! Strutting my signature heart-shaped fur, battling zombie squirrels, hoarding a mountain of Cheetos, and totally owning it as the queen of this dog’s world. Fear no vacuums or ear cleaning, they don’t scare me. Well, maybe a little…but still! Bows away, apocalypse or not, your Boo is rocking the royal game here. Cheeto cheers!

Love,

Dixie Bear

From my perch atop the Pooched Potatoes eatery—the best vantage point in all of Pawsburg—I gaze at the world I’ve come to rule with my charm and sass. Yeah, I said it, sass. What? You’ve met me!

Just look at that swirl of white cascading down my chest, making me look rather like a royal canine sporting a fetching tan and white fur coat. Show me another half-corgi, half-Chihuahua mutt who can outshine me. I dare you.

Honestly, I’d have laughed at anyone who’d tell me a tiny spot of the heart-shaped fur on the back of my neck, snow white and as delicate as a snowflake, could become my signature style.

As I trot down Tail Wagger’s Way, dogs of all breeds and sizes nod in my direction. And why wouldn’t they? I’ve earned my respect!

Ever heard of the dog who took down the horde of zombie squirrels at the Fawn Pug Palace? That’s right, that was yours truly. Oh, don’t fill your pants. Not the normal squirrels—they’re lovely creatures, got a real knack for finding nuts. But zombie squirrels, they’re real trouble.

Now, get this—a dog’s life is not all fun and Cheetos. Yeah, Cheetos, the cheese-dusted goodies from the world of two-leggers. You should see my supply. It’s like that scene from Indiana Jones, but replace the gold with, you got it, Cheetos.

Oh, and do not forget bacon, lunch meat, and…mmmm, provolone is the way to my little heart.

But, silver spoons aside, the apocalypse is hard, especially on us little guys. Sure, we’ve got Pawsburg—a veritable canine utopia with eateries like Dog-gone Good BBQ and shops like The Groom Room. But, a looming zombie apocalypse, that can really dampen your spirits.

Even the joyful frolics at Retriever River and Poodle Pond can’t stave off seriously scary stuff—loud noises, definitely to be avoided. Vacuum cleaners, ear-cleaning, these challenges are ever-present, and not even the familiar comforts of a Chevy’s backseat or a nice round of tug-of-war can completely push them into the background. But fear not, good people and pets, for I, Dixie Belle, queen of Pawsburg, will take on both zombies and vacuum cleaners or die trying. In her signature high-headed style, of course.

A fetching blend of canine fury and unyielding curiosity, I remain undeterred, exploring, analyzing – just as the fading sun promises a chilling adventure ahead. Brilliant, isn’t it?

Huh, what’s that I hear—someone chasing a tail? Let’s get in there because let’s face it, detect zombie squirrel, tackle zombie squirrel, retreat for Cheetos, pet therapy, repeat. It’s a dog’s world after all, and hey, apocalypse or not, I am basically royalty here. Bow bows, Pawsburg! Here comes Dixie Belle.

The End.
