Hey mate, it’s Teddi. Just another day in our furry utopia, Pawsburg. It’s the usual circus. The cats are singing flat, we ran into Daisy at the palace, but hey, wouldn’t trade a moment. Pawsburg — even with its quirks, is home. P.S., still not a fan of wet beef blend. Cheers, your Terrier-prince, Teddi.

It was just another day in Pawsburg, a spring morning with a rush of wind that carried the scent of fresh hibiscus. As was customary, as the humans slumbered on, oblivious, we creatures had claimed the town as our own. I remember it was a Friday, or was it a Wednesday? Does it matter? It was a day, like any other but also uniquely its own. Just like him, Teddi—my friend, confidante, the terrier-cross-breath of fresh air in our rather furry office.

Teddi and I, we were just closing down at the Pet Partners Pet Supplies. Old Spot, our trusty Dalmatian manager, had dozed off on the plush carpet by the corner, allowing the rest of us to merrily go about our chores. Outside, Pawsburg stretched out in its night time glory, winking sleepily with a thousand lights that scintillated off Upper Black Bulldog Bay.

“Well, another day biting dust,” I muttered as I fiddled with the locking mechanism of our supposable high-security safe, which in reality was as easy to crack as a dry biscuit—granted that you had thumbs.

“Too right, mate. Fancy a bite at Fishy Bites?” came Teddi’s chipper voice from behind.

“Well, as long as you promise not to bark up the wrong tree about not getting the wet food.” I teased. Teddi’s despise for beef blend was a continuous source of mirth.

“Ha ha, very funny,” he grumbled, hazel eyes twinkling. And off we went, side by side through the lamp-lit streets.

Our posh night ended up at the Western Fawn Pug Palace where we ran into Daisy, the Border Collie. “Lads!” she piped up, noticing us, “Ready for another mad one?”

As the night rolled on, Pawsburg entered into our hearts, reminding us of the lives we lead, peppered with jeering cats, posh sushi restaurants, and off-key barks under the moonlight. And amidst it all was my friend Teddi, the Shih Tzu Poodle mix, with an unlikely mix of vivacity and stoic loyalty, keeping us anchored in the whirlpool of our nocturnal adventures.

And so it came to pass, another day in the pet office that was actually a whole town full of adventures with Teddi, the unparalleled, unconventional furry friend who made each day uniquely memorable. From the bay to the meadows, the real heart of Pawsburg was Teddi. You’d have to meet him to truly understand. He was, in no uncertain terms, the spirit of Pawsburg—our spirit. The embodiment of our camaraderie and adventures. And on such nights and days, as we roamed the delightful corners of our canine utopia, I couldn’t help but think— Pawsburg, our Pawsburg, wouldn’t be the same without him.

The End.
