No Ball Left Behind: Nova’s Revenge in Pawsburgh: A Nova PawWord Story
Hey Mom, today I channeled my inner canine caper crusader and nabbed back Oreo’s swiped ball from a notorious Dachshund. Tail high, dignity intact, and Pawsburgh justice served! Whisker kisses of thanks from Oreo made it all worth it. Paws and reflect, every dog’s tale is our daily bread. Love, Nova đžâ¨
Well, wouldnât you know it, another gloriously sunny day in Pawsburgh, where every hydrant is ripe for claiming and each street corner smells like a story waiting to happen. Call me Nova, the pug-Boston terrier mix whoâletâs just sayâknows his way around Malamute Mountain and could sniff his way to Corgiâs Crepes blindfolded. But today was not about indulging my senses or sunbathing my snout; today was about settling a score, sweet and snout-worthy.
You see, yesterday, as I strolled Whippet Way with my Reese cup chewy between my teeth, I witnessed something that would curl your tail. A crafty Dachshund, with the gall of an alley cat, had swiped my dear sister Oreoâs favorite ball right under my nose. A ball isnât just a ball; itâs a vessel of fond memories, every throw and chase infused with sisterly love.
Now, imagine me, Nova, alone in my mission; Oreo, the clueless bluetick hound, fetching adventures unknown, and there I was, plotting sweet payback over a breakfast of artisanal biscuits at Snifferâs Sandwiches. A cacophony of collars jingled as dogs of every description fostered friendships over flaky pastries, but solitude suited my purpose just fine.
My plan? Ingenious in its simplicity. Iâd known for a fact that the pilfering pooch pranced past The Groom Room daily. There, pristine pooches primped and preened, and a Dachshund with aspirations of high society would naturally be among them.
The Canine Cafe, with its windows unobstructed, was the perfect lookout. Longing for my absent caffeinated kin, I nestled down on the cushioned bay window seat. To any casual observer, I was just another lounging local but behind these expressive eyes, strategic machinations sizzled. There he wasâyou couldnât miss the audacious stripe down his backâstrutting his low-slung frame like a prized topiary.
From my perch, I executed phase two: the tail-wagging trap. Exiting into the sunlit afternoon, I casually dribbled Oreoâs ball across Cocker Courtyard cobbled paths. The plan unfolded with a yawn; theft, I mused, was driven not by need, but opportunity.
As predicted, the Dachshund couldnât resist. His miniature legs charged, but I was quickerâa dash of brindle against the sunâand reclaimed the ball with a swift snatch of my mouth. My tail waged righteousness! The Dachshund, astounded, could only gape as I trotted past The Furry Friends Art Gallery, canvas masterpieces of canine cunning bearing silent witness to my triumph.
He whined, trotting alongside me, already scheming his excuses, apologies as flimsy as a one-ply poop bag. But I held no grudgeâthe ball nestled safely in my mouthâbecause all I intended was to teach an important lesson in Pawsburgh: the thrill of the chase is sweeter when itâs honest.
As evening shadowed the alleys, I reunited Oreo with her cherished ball at Wagging Whisk. Her licks of gratitude were compensation enough. She hadnât a clue of the great ball caper or my vengeful excursion; her innocence was bliss to preserve. After all, every dog must have its day, and every day in Pawsburgh is a story worth wagging about.
The End.
