Signing off now, Sweet Pugnatious Puggie Pbear – or just your dear ol’ Puggie.

Listen to the story here

By the dimmed light of the crescent moon, Puggie and I, we sneaked off to Pawsburg once our owners drifted off to dreamland. Being a pug-chihuahua mix, Puggie’s got a natural talent for being nosy – her chihuahua instincts shine through when adventure calls.

Over near the borders of Lower Dalmatian Desert, we made our first stop at “Bone Appetit,” our bellies gurgling louder than the last episode of The Dogboner Could Bark. We snacked on ‘Gerber’ burgers – a tantalizing treat of Puggie’s namesake. You gotta see her face when she sniffs a plateful, a sight that’ll send Microsoft Paint spiraling right into Picasso’s era. But throw her a lettuce or popcorn? Dali’s elephants wouldn’t trump the surreality.

You see, Puggie, me, and some of our chums – Tiki, Anna, and Wesley, we’re regulars at Pawsburg. We shoot the breeze at Fawn Pug Palace, wrapping ourselves in Tiger Pink Blankets ’cause Pawsburg night winds they ain’t like bagels and cream cheese – they’re chilled to the bones. Anna would often run off to her darling Fawn Cream Maltese Meadow, leaving us three stooges to our own foolish rambles. This time though, things took a breezy turn.

We strolled into Spa for Paws, a wee bit tired from our escapades. The vermilion-polished poodle receptionist gestured silently towards the Whisker Windows. Suddenly, Puggie’s slender tail curled like an over-cooked spaghetti at the sight that met her curious eyes.

Her charcoal black fur stood up like an awestruck audience, her tiny heart pounded a rhythm unknown. Staring back at her was this dreamy Dalmatian, standing in splendid white and black dots. He was tall, well-groomed – an obvious regular at The Pampered Pooch Salon, and his mild mannered eyes admiring her expressive raised eyebrows. Entranced by the delightfully handsome stranger, Puggie forgot the taste of ‘Gerber’, the warmth of her favorite blanket, even the unending rift with the ‘vacuum monster’.

Hard to believe, huh? But love stories in Pawsburg, they ain’t like New York love stories. They’re dog-gone different. Filled with nose boops and tail wags, squeaky chews, and carnivorous feasts. Love was in the air at Pawsburg that night, and so was the heavenly aroma of Pup-Tizers.

“Ah, Romeo and Juliet of Pawsburg,” Tiki nudged with a smirk. I rolled my eyes at the love-sick Puggie, “She’ll be whimpering about cheese in her sleep tonight,” I mused. Looked like Pawsburg had a new heart-throb, and Puggie – a new woofer-tale to bark about till dawn.

The End.
