Hey buddy,

Just me, Baxter, the Little Man, checking in. Just your average one-eyed, half-sized, social butterfly Chihuahua. Had a pawsome day at the beach – still can’t abide the smell of broccoli. More car rides, chicken dinners, and canine city adventures await. Not a fan of that vacuum cleaner and lone nights, but hey, I’m still the king of Pawsburg! Wish you were here to cuddle.

Yours Tail-wagginly,
Little Man

So let’s get started, okay? Remember Baxter? Yeah, the one-eyed wonder dog, the Chihuahua with a presence that could put The Rock’s muscle show to shame.

Picture this, Baxter, our one-eyed protagonist meandering through the puzzle-marked streets of Pawsburg, trotting his way toward Bulldog Bay. Ahh, Bulldog Bay, where dogs go to feel the warm sand between their paw pads, sink their bodies into the golden grains, and toss their heads back, relishing the doggone good vibes. Full disclosure, the baked treats from the Dog-gone Good BBQ next door filled the air with a scent that could make even a hibernating bear rise and shine!

Being the social butterfly he is, Baxter has quite a fanbase in Fawn Pug Palace, and why wouldn’t he? Half the palace drools over his dramatic black and white fur like it’s the latest in haute couture. I mean come on a one-eyed Chihuahua with two-toned fur, isn’t that something?

But can I be real for a second? Baxter is not all sunshine and rainbows all the time. You think dogs can’t have fears? The mere thought of the vacuum cleaner sends shivers down his tiny spine, turning him into a trembling mass of black and white fur. A properly chilling sight. But on top of that, guess what his biggest fear is? Loneliness. Seriously, thank you, Baxter without you, we couldn’t have known the universal truth that everyone hates to be alone.

However, at the end of the day, it’s the simple things in life that fascinate him. Like his Lamb Chop toy which according to him, “is the Lamb Choppiest thing in the world.” But the crown jewel, the crepe de la creme of his existence? Oh, this is gonna make me cry again, is cuddling by human-mom’s side. Could I have picked a more relatable protagonist? Baxter please, you know you had us at the first wag of your tail.

Having bitter foods? Not Baxter’s thing. Broccoli might as well be green nonsense in his food bowl. Guys, he is a dog after our own heart, right? Who needs greens when you have juicy chicken? Plus, the boy loves his car rides and rolls around happily at Black Bulldog Bay, lapping up the sunlight all day until it’s time to storm The Fetching Feline Pet Emporium.

As dusk settles, Baxter heads home, leaving the world of Pawsburg behind. Sigh, the night crawls and the secret canine city sleeps, waiting for the next adventure. Pawsburg at night, so silent that you can hear a bulldog snore from the next block. But here’s Baxter, in his human’s arms, the one-eyed Chihuahua King of Pawsburg, dreaming perhaps of another day of car rides, chicken dinners, and sunbathing sans broccolis.

Quite honestly, Baxter’s life makes mine look like a constant walk in a broccoli farm. But hey, that’s Baxter: one-eyed, half the size of a regular dog, but bursting full of life and doggy spirits. Baxter, the prince of Pawsburg, living his best life while we bust our tails in the human world. Can we switch lives already?

The End.
