Hey Mom,

Just a heads up, your furball Maddie has been a bit of a time-traveling hero lately. I’ve wagged my tail across history, from ancient Egypt to the future, thanks to a magic frisbee! Met some great hounds and worthy humans, even helped rewrite a bit of history. Back now, all paws intact, craving Bark Burgers and belly rubs. 🐾🕰️🍔

Tail wags,
Maddie

Ah, hello there! I’m Maddie, that lovely Chocolate Labrador with the twinkling kind eyes—if I do say so myself. You’ve probably heard of me, right? Maddie, the tail-wagging enthusiast of fetch and four-legged connoisseur of Bark Burgers. Yes, that’s me!

Let me tell you about this one time in Spencerville, rather, several times and places all at once; it was absolutely smashing! There was this rather peculiar contraption that showed up one day at Lower Golden Gate Gardens. It resembled a post box, if the post box fancied itself a travelling circus all patchwork in colors and with a curious humming like a contented bumblebee that had found the mother of all flowers.

So, there I was, basking in the vastness of the doggy beach, when Georgia came bounding up with a frisbee in her mouth. This wasn’t just any frisbee; it was a Time-Traveling Frisbee! I know, sounds barking mad. But as soon as I sunk my teeth into it, the world turned topsy-turvy, and poof! We found ourselves in Ancient Egypt, where the cats seemed to fancy themselves as gods. The nerve!

Standing before us was the grand Sphinx. Lo and behold, it had a dog’s head! The humans must’ve been incredibly confused for countless years due to some woeful feline tomfoolery. I wagged my tail so furiously at the sight that I nearly started a sandstorm.

From epoch to epic, Georgia and I flitted, our paws tasting the soils of ages. A Roman Colosseum where dogs raced chariots, Middle Ages where every banquet table inevitably featured the finest of bones one could dream of gnawing, and the Roaring Twenties where I swear the barks had that swing rhythm.

In each era, our hearts ached a teensy bit for the love and laughter of home. Yet, the thrill of the chase—the chase through time—was a titillating bone hard to bury.

One particularly peculiar jaunt took us to the year something-or-other, into the home of a man with wild hair preposterously aflame with ideas, muttering about apples and gravity. Georgia nabbed an apple, and with comical predictability, bonked him on the noggin as she tried to take a bite mid-leap. Let’s just say, history may remember that moment a tad differently.

Amidst our chronological cavorting, we ventured to places where dogs had their day and then some, barking the tunes of change and chomping down on injustices like a toy overdue for destruction. We were, in essence, canine quirks in the fabric of history, leaving behind mysteries only a dog’s knowing sniff could solve.

However, as the old saying goes, every dog has its day, and then it hears dinner being served. Well, the saying roughly goes like that. So when we caught a whiff of celestial Bark Burgers somewhere in the 23rd century, who were we to resist? After the feast, the frisbee hummed again, glowing with the anticipation of home.

Dropped back into Spencerville, with its endless gardens and sumptuous smells, we leapt and larked about, filled with stories that no one would likely believe. Yet, the truth didn’t matter; after all, the world—any world, every world—was simply too full of wonders not to explore.

A little time travel never hurt anybody, especially not a dog like me. So until next time, keep your paws nimble and your nose to the wind. History might just need a little rewriting, and who better to do it than a dog with a penchant for adventure and a love for a good game of fetch?

The End.
