Hey Mom,

Just saved Spencerville as Lilly the Lofty, foiled a rogue RC car uprising, and even got a heroic cape that helps me float! My tail’s my superpower now. 🦸‍♀️✨ Wrapped up the day with a victory steak at the bistro. Need a nap now, adventures are exhausting! Catch you in dreamland.

Hugs and high-paws,
Lilly Bug 🐾💤

So there I was, Lilly, your not-so-ordinary English Bulldog, plodding through the golden avenues of Spencerville, which, by the way, have that perfect balance of sunshine and shade, much like a well-tossed salad with just the right amount of dressing. Spencerville, this oasis of afterlife serenity, serves as my current abode—think of it as a Club Med for the dearly-departed canines. Does it get any more idyllic than this? I had my doubts.

It was an unusually brisk morning as I waddled past the Ruff-n-Ready, their latest concoction, a “Steak Tartare à la Bone,” wafting through the air. A craving hit me like a ton of bricks, but I had weightier matters on my mind—or so I told my salivating taste buds.

My destination was Canine Couture Clothing. I needed a cape. Now, before you start thinking, “Lilly, what self-respecting English Bulldog needs a cape?” let me just say, in my defense, this was no ordinary cape. Three days prior, while licking the remnants of a particularly succulent cheesy puff off my whiskers, I stumbled upon a peculiar power. It seems that my stubby tail packs quite the supernatural punch when it wags thrice in quick succession: I gain the ability to float—defying gravity and whatnot. Nothing too flashy, but certainly a conversation starter.

With my newly-acquired habiliment, I sauntered—well, as much as a Bulldog can saunter—toward North Chihuahua Castle. Heinous happenings were afoot, and who else but I, Lilly the Lofty, could tackle such turmoil with a blend of stubbornness and fortitude?

You see, there was this remote control car caper—dastardly devices turned sentient, threatening the very fabric of Spencerville’s serene existence. And to confront them, I needed all the fierce courage that surged through my rather ample frame.

As I approached, the petite pups of North Chihuahua Castle were locked in barks with RcCarthar, the chief mischief-maker—a remote control car with aspirations greater than just getting chased around by playful paws. This car was equipped with unsavory attachments capable of chaos.

“RcCarthar!” I boomed, impressively authoritative, my jowls lending a dramatic undulation to every word. “Your reign of terror ends today!” A bit dramatic, I know, but such occasions demand it.

The mechanical menace paused its tire-spinning antics, regarding me with a flickering headlight. Clearly, it hadn’t anticipated a floating Bulldog draped in a cape.

What passed next could only be described as a ballet. A ballet with neither grace nor poise, but a ballet nonetheless. I floated and bobbed, my valiant tail wagging a symphony of aerial maneuvers. Each thrice-timed wag thwarted RcCarthar’s every escape attempt. You could cut the tension with a spork.

At long last, with one final audacious and slightly fatigued wag of my tail, I propelled myself atop my adversary, rendering it motionless. The miniature masses erupted in jubilation. How satisfying to silence the intimidations of loud cacophonies!

I huffed, puffing my chest with an air of accomplishment. “All in a day’s work,” I assured the onlookers, my cape doing this billowy thing that was quite complimentary to my silhouette.

I’ll admit, the bout had left me famished. The Bow Wow Bistro beckoned. Steak Tartare à la Bone with a side of heroic acclaim? Don’t mind if I do.

So, whizzing back down the boulevard, a conqueror returns. The sun beams on my back, my tail wags a contented wag, and the cape… well, the cape flutters like a standard of victory.

As my weary body sinks beside the pool for a well-deserved nap, my mind wanders. Adventures may come and go, my dear friends, but let one thing be as certain as the taste of a slice of pizza crust: wherever there’s a need for a stubbornly loyal Bulldog to tackle the extraordinary, know that Lilly, defender of Spencerville, shall always rise—or rather, float—to the occasion.

The End.
