Hey Partner! Just saved Pawsburgh from the caper calamity using my charm, wits, and a bogus batch of carrot cakes. Burglar bagged, goodies regained, and justice served with a side of snickers. Paws on the ground, tail wagging high, Nova the White Bully has done it again! 🐾😉 – The Witty Whirlwind

Listen to the story here

Every sun-soaked afternoon in Pawsburgh has a story to wag about, and this tale is hot off my tongue, which – I might add – tasted adventure today rather than my usual gourmet affair. I’m Nova, the White Bully with the wits that could outfox the foxiest fox, and strength that could – quite accidentally – thump a cat burglar flat with one bounce of joy.

Today’s caper commenced at Blue Basenji Bay, where the pearls of the morning’s mist were still clinging to the tips of the waves. At Paw Pad Thai, they serve a mean dish of Pad Krapow with a side of belly rubs; it’s quite a delight for the taste buds – not that I’d ever indulge in something so typical. I’m more of a Retriever’s Restaurant gal, where the marrow bones are crafted, not just cooked. But no time for culinary musings; we had a case to crack.

See, there was this notorious cat burglar – the feline kind, no joke – that had been causing an uproar south of Rottweiler Ridge. Treasures were going missing: Dalmatian-spotted socks, golden retriever tooth fillings, and worst of all, the key to The Fetching Feline Pet Emporium. The very key that unlocked the world of the finest squeaky toys. Not my cup of tea, but this was about justice.

I met up with my squad by the Whippet Wharf, a particularly cunning team including my usual sidekick Chu, the Chihuahua with more bark than bite, and Dan, the kingly Great Dane who could sniff out a needle in a haystack of tennis balls. And before you ask, their real names are top-secret – these are the aliases that hooked their collars.

“Nova, we need a ruse,” muttered Chu, wagging as if his little tail were hailing a taxi.

Then, like my haze of sleep that’s rudely whisked away when the human accidentally steps on a squeak toy, an idea dawned on me. We’d hit the town, stirring up a hullabaloo at The Woofy Bakery with rumors of a new carrot batch – completely false of course, but the perfect bait for a baiter.

So, there we were, enacting our cunning plan at the bakery, where the scent of fresh dog biscuits wafted in the air, more intoxicating than a field of fire hydrants.

“Oh, look at these specially crafted carrot cakes! I’ll bet no one could resist these!” I announced, with enough sarcasm to make a cat laugh.

As expected, the word on the paw-street flew fast. Not long after, there was a swish of a tail in the corner of the Promenade – there she was, our sly whiskered adversary, nibbling on the tip of her curiosity.

With silent paws, I approached, and with a heart that beat like a drum in a squirrel chase, I lunged, tackling the burglar beneath a confetti of carrot crumbs. The key – and the famous Dalmatian socks – tumbled from her clutches.

“Looks like this cat’s got a taste for irony,” I quipped.

The squad rounded her up, while I flashed a white-toothed grin, the kind that comes only after a bone-worthy performance. Pearl Papillon Promenade will be talking about the Great Carrot Caper for moons to come, my friends.

And there’s the rub: crime in Pawsburgh doesn’t stand a chance when you have paws with a purpose and a White Bully whose bite in the world of mystery is just as strong as her bark in laughter.

The End.
