Hey Mom, it’s your sleuthing Clodog here! I’ve been sniffing out all kinds of mysteries in Spencerville, from vanishing tennis balls to magical banana treats appearing out of nowhere. I’ve got my paws full in this tale but don’t worry, with my gang of canine detectives, we got it all under control. Heck, even a dog-gone good BBQ can’t distract me! Love, Chloe.

Listen to the story here

I remember my dear old Boston Terrier, Chloe. Majestic creature she was, black and white with a slim, athletic build, real eye catcher. We shared an unbreakable bond, as tight as the last pickle in the jar, despite my regular absences in Spencerville. I’m pretty sure she awaited my returns with a wagging tail full of anticipation.

That dog was a detective, through and through. I reckon she was some canine version of Mulder. Always sniffing around the corners, always on an adventure. She could spend hours sniffing around White Westie Woods. Sometimes she’d make her way back dusting Cream Maltese Meadow’s dew off her coat, always proud of some misdemeanor she thought she’d solved
.
The intelligence in that dog! Sparkling brighter than the Sirius on a moonless night! If there were strange things afoot in Spencerville, you bet your bottom dollar Chloe would be on to it. Tennis balls going missing? “Chloe’s got this,” she would seem to say. A new and unusual aroma from Dog-gone Good BBQ? You would find Chloe sniffing the air, her wheels running overtime to figure out the change.

Her greatest oddball case though, revolved around the magical appearances of banana flavored treats from the Woofy Bakery. No one in Spencerville knew how they appeared at her doorstep, not even her buddy Abby, and believe me, she is quite the news hound. Chloe would look at me, tennis ball in her mouth and those sparkling eyes beaming with mystery, “See, I told you there’s a ghost-baker.”

And then there were her unorthodox tactics. Look, I know, okay? A dog that is loyal and brave but doesn’t keen on walks or baths, that’s admittedly a tad odd. But think about it. Even Sherlock had his quirks, right? That was our Chloe, independent and truly one of a kind.

Food, oh boy, was that a spectacle. Watching Chloe dine was like watching a broadway show. Human child’s baby food? “Absolutely inedible,” she would declare with a disgusted wrinkle of her nose. But a spoonful of yogurt? Now that would have her wagging tail reduce to a slow swing, a sign of utter delight.

Though, let me tell you, nothing cheered her up like her siblings, Betty, and her buddies, Abby and Pebbles. That was the squad, always stuck together, facing the Spencerville mysteries head on. Together, they were the conspiring canine quartet, the mystery solvers of Spencerville, investigating the strange and unexplained phenomena in our perfect little town.

So, if you ever find yourself in Spencerville, and happen to spot a black and white Boston terrier sniffing around, know that’s Chloe, working on yet another Spencerville enigma. Only this time, you’d be a part of it too. After all, in Spencerville, the unexpected was always expected. Especially with Chloe on the case.

The End.
