Hey there, it’s me, Trix – your fun-loving, mission-mapping pug from Pawsburg. Had one heck of an adventure! Rescued Digger from Catsville Condos yesterday with Rocky & Tippy. Long night, but tail-wagging worth it! Licks and Wags, Trix 🐾

Listen to the story here

Some may think Pawsburg a whimsy dream, but not to us locals. It’s the heartbeat of us dogs; a place where we sneak off to when our owners are asleep, or out of town. It’s the home of Choco Chihuahua Castle standing tall and regal, and East Pug Palace – a quaint abode fit for royalty.

My name’s Trixie, and Pawsburg is my playground…and mission field.

It happened one sunny afternoon at Poodle Pond. Rocky, Tippy, and I were running drills with tennis balls – the unpredictable trajectories honing our agility for missions like this. My stocky pug frame surged forward, and I snagged the yellow orb mid-air, my curled tail wagging triumphantly.

Just then, a torn piece of paper floated by. Curious, I scampered over and fetched it. I squinted at the words, ‘Digger’s been captured!’ The phrase sent a chill down my short spine. Digger wasn’t just the town’s lovable Labrador; he was our friend.

“Guys,” I barked, letting my friends in on the heart-stopping news. Thunderstorms could scare Rocky, the big, brave Rottweiler and Tippy, the little Shih Tzu. But fear at losing a friend was a whole different breed. We exchanged looks, and our mission was set. We were going to rescue Digger!

Moonlight bathed Pawsburg as we donned our gear that evening, drawing courage from each other. Our first stop was The Howling Husky Hardware Store for essentials – rope, flashlights, muzzles just in case things went south. Then at Pet Partners Pet Supplies, we picked up Digger’s favorite biscuit. In case he needed a comforting scent or a motivating snack.

Tippy checked off the items from our list, her nervous tremble subsided as we got into mission mode. “Last stop, Tail Waggers,” I pronounced, leading the way.

At Tail Waggers, the scent of chicken soup wafted, making my stout heart pump faster. It was tempting to just lay low and enjoy a good meal, but steeling myself against the scent, I led the team away.

Just then an eerie howl echoed through the shadowy alleyways of Pawsburg. “That’s our cue,” Rocky growled. Despite his years of ill-feigned bravery, I saw the glint of real heroism in his eyes.

And so, we trotted into the darkness, the moon our sole companion. Our tails were uncharacteristically still as we prowled through the ghostly town. Every rustling leaf made Tippy jump, and Rocky grunted in annoyance, but his comforting aura kept Tippy moving.

We ventured past Moonlit Meadows, across Howler’s Haul until we reached the ominous structure – Catsville Condos. Neither dog had stepped a paw there voluntarily. The place reeked of felony, but tonight, it stood between us and Digger.

Sneaking past sleeping cats, sniffing out guards and slinking under fences required patience and a shitload of guts, but we pulled it off. By the end of the night, as dawn begun to break, we found Digger – scared but safe and thrilled to see us.

As we returned to Pawsburg, the trio of unlikely heroes, barks of cheer welcomed us. The sun rose on the horizon, casting a golden hue over our town, and that moment, every sneaky adventure, every chicken soup I’d forsaken seemed worth it.

My name is Trixie, and this is my personal memoir. One of adventure, camaraderie, and dogged determination. My life is Pawsburg, and every rescue mission is a story etched in my heart.

The End.
