Hey Mom,

Just wrapped up another epic day at ‘The Pet Office’ – slayed a “Barketing” presentation, dodged steakhouse distractions, and survived the Groom Room inquisition! Even squeezed in playtime at Pomeranian Park. It’s a tough life, but hey, someone’s got to be the top dog around here! 🐾

Catch you for cuddles later,
Troop 🐶✨

I say, dear reader, if you’ve ever wondered where dogs venture when the human gaze slips away, I shall regale you with my adventures in the enchanting township of Pawsburgh. Trooper, the name that carries my tales, and indeed, today’s yarn involves a typical day at ‘The Pet Office’—where we, the canines of distinction, contribute to the hodgepodge of office life with our own pawed prowess.

Now, on to the frolics of a recent morn, which dawned much like any other, with the sun stretching its golden fingers across Vizsla Valley. I stretched too, of course. A proper upward and downward dog yoga sequence to keep the limbs supple. A spot of breakfast, then a brisk trot to Sapphire Schnauzer Street, where the grand edifice of our ‘The Pet Office’ stood. Upon entrance, one needs to navigate the bustle of our kind: terriers with documents (often chewed), retrievers with messages, and poodles brokering business at every turn.

My desk, ah yes, a fortress of solitude amid the carnival, stood laden with chew toys serving as my paperweights and memos. Milton, my compatriot, was already entwined in a tug-of-war with the printer cord—his way of dealing with technology, I suppose. We exchanged an energetic tail wag—I distinctly higher in vigor, as he seemed quite miffed at the printer’s stubborn refusal to print.

The day’s agenda had me attending several meetings, which, as serendipity would grant, clustered around my subsequent journey to the eastern wing. First was an impromptu strategy session at Setter’s Steakhouse—quite the establishment, where the aroma of succulent steak marinated in savory sauces would distract a saint. Diverting from the gastronomic temptations, I offered my proposal for “Barketing Strategies 101,” only to find the boardroom attended by a snoozy pack of Bloodhounds and a highly strung Chihuahua paw-tapping with impatience.

Lunch offered a respite with Whippet Wraps—a curious hub where the wraps were more scattered around the floor than found on plates. A reunion with Milton ensued, tales of printer battles and cord skirmishes woven amid bites of lettuce and shredded chicken.

The afternoon waltzed in with a visit to The Groom Room for an interview. A dashing establishment, frequented by those keen on keeping their fur fluffed and paws pristine. I, of course, maintained a natural elegance that required minimal fuss. Nevertheless, there I sat, discussing the importance of community grooming and the camaraderie it fostered.

Evening crept upon us, the office air cooling and the hustle dimming to a lull. That’s when Milton and I, a volley of chit-chat about our day’s conquests and comedies exchanged, sauntered towards the door. But not before a detour to Pomeranian Park; a necessary diversion, for a gentleman must have his playtime. Frisbees flew, balls bounced, and tails wagged with undiluted joy as I let slip the decorum of the office for the abandon of play. The retrospective closing, at Anastasia’s, allowed me to settle into anecdotes of the day’s escapades, too countless and jumbled to detangle there and then.

Back home, with the shadows dancing in the dim parlor light, I’d recount these tales to my human with an expressive bark or sagacious look. She’d laugh, scoop me into an embrace for a tussle, and at that moment, all the day’s mockumentary asides, the cinematic drama of our canine corporate dance, would simply melt into a single sovereign truth—the unconditional felicity shared between a girl and her dog.

The End.
