Hey mate, just an everyday Frenchie named Pippin here, secretly running a nocturnal empire called Pawsburg. By day, chasing balls in the park, by night, governing the pet underworld. Cheese dreams, citrus nightmares. You know, the typical canine capers. Plenty of licks, – Petfather Pippin 😉

Listen to the story here

The tale is outstanding, nay, offbeat, with me, Pippin, moonlighting as the ‘Petfather’ of Pawsburg, striking a peculiar balance between my illustrious, clandestine empire and the ordinary life of a French Bulldog.

It was a quiet night in Paris – Paris, my cozy corner in the living room, decorated impeccably with my favorite squeaky chicken toy in pink. I had just endured the onslaught of another interminable day, replete with romps around the park, chasing balls, and sniffing enchanting scents of nature. Yet, after the park and all its paradisiacal grandeur, the night was my own. As the human world dozed off, unknowing and unbothered, the canine world stirred to a pulsating adventure in Pawsburg, and I, the Furry Queen of this doggo sanctuary, shook off my regular, docile persona.

Zipping through the portal from Paris to Pawsburg, my antennas pricked up. Pray, let’s save the boring details. At Fawn Pug Palace, my court awaited my orders. The spot-lit stage was set, my fancy feet shuffled towards the magnificently garnished dish from the K9 Kebabs – no cheese, to be emphasised. Any possibility of an acidic encounter mollified. How ghastly citrus is, I could never fathom.

Normalcy, as the world intended, was to find me in the park, wagging my tail and gnawing at chew sticks. But, Pawsburg knew better. My charisma held sway over restless rottweilers, my wit bamboozled belligerent bulldogs, and my magnanimity melted even the most miffed mastiffs. Yet, for all my undercover feats, the company of Rex and Bella remained invaluable.

“Now, Rex. Bella,” I drawled, leaning into my throne, the bright lights reflecting off my fawn fur. “It appears that The Fetching Feline Pet Emporium is holding out on their monthly tribute.” I leveled a gaze at Bella, her sassy Siamese eyes widened. “I suppose this means round of…negotiations.”

And so it went, another clandestine plot percolating in the grand scheme of the Pawsburg underworld. Yet, at the end of it all, as dawn threatened, I reverted to my guise as the friendly Frenchie, awaiting the day’s whims and adventures. Even mob bosses need their beauty sleep, on their adored doggie beds, dreaming of cheese, and a life devoid of citrus. Thus ended another day, another tale of the Petfather, the unfathomable paradox of my double life dually perpetuated.

And as I drift off to snooze, curled up within my Paris, one cannot help but marvel at my remarkable existence. Amusingly paradoxical, infallibly exciting. After all, life is too short for a dog to simply roll over and play fetch.

The End.
