Hey pack leader, Lucy here! Paw-sitively insane Tuesday – thwarted an alien invasion using nothing but my Goldendoodle charms and a mystical horn! Who knew citrus-hating invaders could be scared off with a good ol’ Pawsburg howl? Dog park legends in the making. 🐾 Woofs and wags, Luce #CitrusIsNoMatchForMettle

Now let me regale you with an adventure most odd, for on one fine morn’, as the sun kissed the horizon of our dear Pawsburg, something peculiar ruffled the usual tranquility of our canine utopia.

I, Lucy, with fur as delightful as the finest pastry in the window of The Woofy Bakery, was prancing my way toward Hound Heights with my cherished hedgehog snugly grasped in my mouth. My heart sang a melody of mundane content, just as any other day, when a shadow stretched over the cobblestone streets like spilled ink over a poet’s letter.

Cast your eyes to the heavens, my furry friends, for above Spitz Spire there hung a monstrosity of a vessel, the likes of which no dog, be they from Jade Jack Russell Junction or beyond, had ever laid eyes upon. It was as if the squirrels had finally called in reinforcements from yonder stars!

“Ain’t it just like a Tuesday, to turn about without so much as a how-do-you-do,” I mused to my compatriots, who had gathered ’round with tails either stiff as pokers or tucked ‘neath their haunches.

The ship, with its menacing hum and a green glow that would make even the freshest patch of grass envious, sent a shiver down to my very paws. ‘Twas time for steady nerves and a plan, for the scent of citrus, that contemptible aroma, wafted from the glowing belly of the ship, suggesting those within were no friends of mine.

“Society is no comfort to one not sociable,” I recollected from my human’s musings over one of Twain’s reads, and with that thought, I rallied my fellows. The Beagle, cunning and sly; the Great Dane, as noble as any creature in collared blazer; and little I, the Goldendoodle, convened a council at Pom’s Pies, for what better place to plot than ’round a table of meat-filled pastry?

“Lucy, your grudges against the mail carrier — how do you muster such fervor?” the Dane inquired, his voice as smooth as the custard pies.

“I reckon it’s in the belief he’s an invader of my home peace,” I replied, with an eye to the hedgehog that had rolled from my grasp, “And invaders, whether of land or less Earthly origins, are cut from the same cloth.”

The Beagle, wise to the streets and a whisperer of secrets, shared tales of a powerful device hidden within the bustling bazaar of The Snooty Snout Boutique, one that might just send our to-the-stars-guests scampering back to their cosmic holes.

And so, armed with the spirit that any dog worth their collar must have in defiance of an alien incursion, we marched onwards. Our paws barely made a sound, as if walking across the soft bed of leaves that lined the pathway to the boutique.

Bolstered by the courage of my tail which refuses to adhere to any position but skyward, we discovered the device, hidden beneath layers of nouveau canine couture: a great horn, fashioned from the bark of a tree as old as Pawsburg itself.

Without a bout of hesitation, I took the horn between my teeth and sounded it — a note so clear and resonate that the citrus-stench foes recoiled back to the ship from whence they came. As the sun broke free of clouded curtain, the ship, no match for the might of simple earthly charm, tucked its tail and bolted, zipping through the blue as a firefly chased by the tenacity of pups.

I tell you, dear companion, not another Tuesday has dawned since, nor do I reckon it shall, when dogs didn’t remind each other of the day when we, the tail-wagging inhabitants of Pawsburg, outwitted the skies and told them, “Your citrus is no match for our mettle!”

The End.
