Hey Mom, it’s Momo, your tiny sea-captain-who-also-risks-it-all-for-dangerous-tacos, and explores the vast realms of Shakespurr’s literature. Just another week at Furryville. Swim, eat, read, repeat. 😎 Woof, Momo.

Listen to the story here

You would think Spencerville had seen the last of its zesty shenanigans, but Momo, that quirky Yorkie terrier, has recently been dishing up his own brand of laugh-out-loud escapades.

It all started at Upper Black Bulldog Bay one fine afternoon, Momo till then a stranger to the allure of water, found himself facing a colossal, spine-tingling body of water. He circled the bay, sniffing and contemplating, you could almost hear the gearshifts of his tiny canine brain deciding on the weight of swimming.

There were whispers – I heard a Pomeranian and a Dachshund discussing it over a Bark Burger. “Momo, swimming? That’s rich!” chuckled the Dachshund, cream from his dog-cacao latte staining his snout.

“Wait till you hear this!” I butted in, banging my paw on the table for dramatic effect. “Not only is Momo swimming, but he has developed an undying devotion to water polo!”

Well, if there had been a record player in Bark Burgers it would have skidded to a halt.

“Water polo?” The incredulous Pomeranian managed to squeak, nearly choking on her doggie-donut.

It took a fortnight for Momo to train with Maxie in the shallow end of Poodle Pond. Under his careful (and often hilariously half-hearted) mentorship, Momo learned to tread water, chase the ball, and scream bloody vengeance on anyone who tried to steal it. Not quite the skill of an Olympian, but for a four-pound furball, it was something!

One evening, after an intense water polo practice, we decided to hit Pup ‘n’ Go Taco Joint. Momo often boasts about his ability not to dislike any food. Armed with this absurd confidence, he tried Chiweenie Chimi’s latest culinary disaster – extra spicy taco roll. As he bit into the taco, I remember him gasping, and then it looked like he’d been steam-cleaned, eyes bulging, tongue hanging out farther than I knew was possible.

“Oh, I…it’s…it’s very… tasty…” he sputtered, while Maxie, Zeus and I rolled around laughing.

Leaving the taco joint, still reeling from the spicy assault, Momo managed to wander into The Wagging Tail Bookstore closely followed by a cacophony of delight. Momo, the literary critic!

“Would you look at that! He’s discovered Shakespurr,” Zeus observed, peeking over the bookshelves.

“Well, good day!” Momo half-eyed him – he was deep into ‘Romeow and Mewliet’. “Begone, canine philistine!”

Ah yes, another day, another scandalous anecdote in the life of Momo, resident Yorkie and culinary adventurer of Spencerville. Mind you, all these calamitous misadventures only endear him further to his friends and fans, myself included.

Cheers to our playful, mischievous Momo. Never change, mate!

The End.
