Well kiddos, sit down, sip your milk, and let’s get this yarn spinning. So there I was, Pawsburg – where bones are currency and the rat race is a literal thing. I’m not a detective, but a dog with a dapper hairdo. You can call me Lucy, the Standard Poodle, with a coat brighter than your future.

Like any self-respecting poodle, I had my favorites, and Pawsburg’s Furrific Fried Chicken is high on that list. I mean, come on, who can resist those juicy, bone-crunchingly delectable delicacies? But before you accuse me of leading a dog’s life, let me tell you, Pawsburg isn’t all bones and gravy. Life can get rougher than a Bulldog’s chin.

Take Shih Tzu Stadium for instance, the glitz, the glamour, the wet dog smell, it ain’t for the faint of the heart kiddos. Or Paws-A-Latte, the canine version of Central Perk if you will, a place where every mutt, pooch, and hound of Pawsburg gathers for some tail-wagging chin-wags.

But this is a noir, my dear pups, which means it ain’t no walk in the park. Well, actually, it often was, but, y’know, metaphorically speaking. The case in point was the day my beloved rubber duckie disappeared. No squeak, no shake, just whoosh and it was gone.

Milo, the chirpy Chihuahua, and Max, the sagely Labrador, were my prime suspects. Okay, I didn’t need to bring out the handcuffs, it’s Pawsburg after all, but let’s just say that no one was amused when I turned detective.

Accusations were leveled, and tails wagged in innocent defenses, until a glance turned our attention towards a plot of dug-up dirt in Western Husky Hill. At that moment, my heart sank lower than the Titanic.

Oh well, I should have known better than to bury my beloved rubber duckie in the open fields. But I’m a dog, what’s your excuse?

Yet, when I reached the spot, the squeaky sound of salvation hit my ears. There she was, my rubber duckie, a bit muddied but intact. My most treasured ‘buried treasure’ was back with my clumsy, ice-skater-like paws.

So here we are, with me retelling my adventurous detective tale, right in the middle of Pawsburg, with my duckie nestled beside me. Oh, the drama, the suspense, the squeak! After all, every bone has a story, and I’m just a poodle living mine, one rubber duckie drama at a time.

The End.
