Hey Mom,

Just gave the Pet Games in Pawsburgh the old Meili spin – out charmed, out swam, and outwitted that Labrador who’s still searching for his tail! Rocked the raft, got sneezed on by a Rottie, and showed that meatball who’s boss. The crowd went wild when I snagged the Frizzbee mid-flight – I swear I flew! Ended the day with victory treats and all the glory. No biggie, just Meili being Meili. Catch me on the flip side, rolling in my champion creds. 😎🏆

Much woof,
Fatness aka Meili

Alright, so there I was, Meili, the golden-brown Pocket Bully with more charm than a doggy dating show, prepping myself for the Pet Games in Pawsburgh. Trust me, this is not your average fetch in the park.

We were all summoned to the Quartz Qimmiq Quarter, where tails were wagging with the kind of nervous energy you feel when you sniff a new treat. I had this ritual, see – three quick circles before any major event, like chasing my shadow just to affirm it’s still game for the chase.

Anyway, there I stood, compact and ready, amidst a spectrum of paws and jaws from all over. And by “over,” I mean the Labrador from Labrador Lunch looked like he’d had one too many kibbles, if you catch my drift. The vibe? Pure Mindy Kaling at a Hollywood pitch – sassy and brimming with unwavering confidence. “May the best snout win,” I murmured, my tongue lolling out in a semi-stylish pant.

Setter Shore’s water events? Please. I’m the dog that lobbied for inflatable rafts at the annual Pawsburgh pool paw-ty. Water and I? BFFs. NOT. But agility was my jam – like prancing on a skateboard, wind in my face, crowds cheering. Picture it: you’re fabulous, unstoppable. Yeah, I was ready to jump, dodge, and weave like a pro.

No Pet Games at Pawsburgh would be complete without a trip to Ruby Rottweiler Ridge. “You got this, Meili,” I puffed to myself, my heart pounding like a pup’s on their first vet visit. But let’s be real, this chunka munk is not made for rock climbing. My strategy? Look adorable and hope for a sympathy pass. I winked at the judges – a surefire plan… until the leg-lifting Rottweiler actually sneezed on me. Classic.

Post-ridge, we all scurried to Spaniel Spaghetti because, science – carbs give energy, right? My sniffer was in heaven, and my belly was totally ready for an Italian-themed buffet. “I’ll have the carbonara, hold the drama,” I joked, forgetting dogs don’t really wait tables, no matter how posh Pawsburgh pretends to be. I did, however, snag a rogue meatball with the finesse of a spy on a secret mission. Score!

I spotted my pals from The Doggie Daycare, cheering like we were in an after-school special. The Terrier Twins, Tommy and Timmy, yipped my name while the bulldog, Bella, flexed her muscles in support. Drama, ambition, the whole barkyard.

Finally, there it was – the ultimate showdown. Leash tugging, poles, and my nemesis: the Frizzbee Fling. My heart? A cocktail of anticipation and kibble. But when that frisbee soared, oh buddy, it was like the world zoomed in on just me and my prey.

Cue slow-mo. Meili, mid-air, the crowd hushed, everything riding on this moment. I reached out, savoring the triumph, when…

THWAP!

My teeth clenched down on victory, the crowd erupted, and even I couldn’t believe it. I landed with a confident thud, the frisbee secured like a boss.

Cue the march back with fanfare fit for a queen – dance moves included – to Pawsitively Purrfect Pet Store, where I’d certainly be scoring some primo treats for this show-stopping doggo. Forget the aversion to bread and potatoes, this victory meal called for the unexpected. Chicken fillet topped with bacon? Chef’s kiss.

As the sunlight dipped behind Pawsburgh’s twinkling lights, I sprawled out on my blanket – champion of the Pet Games, sure, but more importantly, Meili: the dog with zest for life and a taste for adventure. And believe me, everyone in Pawsburgh knew, tomorrow’s tales would be about a little golden bully who leapt and laughed and, for one fleeting moment, flew.

The End.
