– Squeaky Duck Queen, Mazey

Believe me when I say Spencerville is quite the hustle-bustle of canine charm and charisma. Picture me, visiting my favorite joint, Bark Burgers, the aroma of juicy, grilled chicken, my preferred delicacy wafting through the air, electrifying my taste buds. So imagine my surprise when I meet Bella and Rex for our usual chicken feast and get told about the impending power shuffle amongst the dog-folk of Spencerville.

“Did you hear, Mazey?” Rex proclaims dramatically, his innovative personality always giving him a flare for theatrics, “Boss of Spencerville is stepping down!”

I nearly choke on my chicken. Boss of Dogville? We’re talking top of the line – the Royal Dane who rules Spencerville with a paw of iron but a heart of gold. “Don’t be absurd,” I retort, hidinger the shiver coursing down my mini poodle spine.

“True story, Maz!” Bella interjects, her practical sensibilities ever grounding Rex’s flamboyant tales, “It’s time for a new reign.” The chicken suddenly tastes like stale kibble.

A week later, Bark and Buzz fills with fervor. I trot in to find Pugsley announcing his claim for the throne, his pug nose high in the air with determination. But me, a genteel miniature poodle ruling Spencerville? That thought bounces around like one of my rubber ducks—a squeaky, entertaining, yet ridiculous idea.

That night, curled under my beloved knitted blanket, I chew on it. Not the blanket – the idea! Bella and Rex believe in me. Heck, even Twinkie and Dabs, from their distant corners of town, sent supportive doggie texts. I make my decision then – I’m in the race!

In the days leading to the big change, I made my rounds; the majestic Husky Hill, picturesque Collie Canyon, serene Southern Golden Retriever River, and let’s not forget my campaign parties at Bark Burgers!

After countless sniff-offs, belly rub debates, and tail wagging contests, the day of the final judgment arrives. The usually buoyant Spencerville carries a tense silence, broken only by the odd bark or chirp. Boss of Spencerville, the honorable Royal Dane takes the stage. Tension in the air could be cut with a squeaky duck.

“And the new Boss of Spencerville,” he announces, his deep growl echoing around the town, “is…Mazey!”

Relief floods my systems, followed by sheer elation. I, Mazey, the bouncing ball of fur, had won! Something in the twinkle of Spencerville’s twilight felt warmer, more inviting. And in the distance, I could swear I saw a couple of oranges floating down the river without a care in the world. I grin at the irony of it.

Servilletown, it’s time to get ready for some squeaky duck fun, Mazey’s in the house!

The End.
