Hey fam! 🐾 Just wrapped up a typical day at Growl & Howl Inc. – navigated the high-stakes world of office politics with the grace of a prima ballerina, sniffed out a citrus scandal, and crushed some team-building with Max on the dunes. Basically, I’m the pup who’s puttin’ the ‘work’ in ‘network’! Can’t wait to snuggle up with y’all later and get some well-earned belly rubs. 🎾😎🐶 Tails up! – IG

The sun had barely crept above the horizon when I, IG, in true French Spaniel fashion, executed a flawless leap from the endless dreamscapes of slumber to the gritty reality of my human’s alarm. With an expert twist of my head, I sent the mischievous beams of morning light scattering across the bedroom, feeding my ever-hungry youthfulness before my daily escape to Pawsburgh. But let’s be clear, this isn’t your ordinary tail-wagging tale; this is my day at the most prestigious establishment in all of canine civilization: Growl & Howl Incorpor-pawed.

Cut to me diving through the streets of Pawsburgh, my chestnut coat gleaming under the awakening city lights, my paws a blur as I expertly dodge and weave, reminiscent of a feature dancer—only more refined, obviously. Onyx Otterhound Oasis is buzzing with Charley, the receptionist poodle with the kind of curls that make you wonder if there’s a secret salon we don’t know about.

“Morning, Charley!” I bark, abandoning subtlety as my tail does the samba behind me.

She gives me the kind of look—half amused, half exasperated—that says *’we’re not at the park, sweetie’*. I trot past her, leaving a huffing Max, who has just arrived with the latest rumor—a scandal concerning the new treat policy at Pup’s Parfait.

I slide into my office cubicle at Growl & Howl Inc., a space that’s as much a revered sanctuary of productivity (yeah, right) as it is a museum to my achievements. There, in the corner, rests Squeakers, my squeaky rubber ball, ever so loyal, ever the overachiever in attracting attention.

“Buckle up, buckaroos,” I whisper to Squeakers with a nudge. “Monday mornings at Growl & Howl are like trying to catch your tail. A relentless spin.”

The day begins with a howl, quite literally. Boss—a bulldog with a heart of gold and the managerial savvy of a squirrel in a nut shop—does his rounds. His jowls flutter with each decree, and I can’t help but watch; it’s like reality TV minus the remote.

“Team, remember, it’s about synergy!” Boss barks, a bit too close to my ear, leaving a scent of bacon—his breakfast, I presume. “Like how IG and Luna pool their genius for the Pawject Management Pawposal!”

I exchange knowing glances with Luna, serene as ever. We’ve got this, her eyes say, or maybe it’s just the thought of our lunch break at Pooch’s Pub that calms her. Yet, as I spend the rest of the morning typing up canine-centric marketing spiels, something mildly citrus wafts past my nose. My head snaps up, suspicion turning my playful demeanor upside down. “Who violated the Citrus Treaty?” I growl, forgetting for a moment that everyone’s nose isn’t as sensitive or intelligent as mine.

Lunchtime rolls around, and I’m eager to parade down Lhasa Lane to my favourite haunt. But just as I’m envisioning the turkey slice pirouette act, my bestie Max prances in, tail a-wagging.

“IG! Mandatory team building at Saluki Sands! You, me, frisbees, and trust falls into the sand dunes!”

My tail can’t help but flail in agreement. It’s an afternoon scribbled straight out of my wildest Pawsburgh daydreams. And as we convene, the golden sunlight catching in our fur like a painter’s last stroke, I relish the thought of returning to my humans, bursting with tales of sandy heroism and office comradery that are as real as the frayed rope awaiting at home.

Welcome to life at Growl & Howl Inc.: where every day, this French Spaniel brings new meaning to ‘working like a dog’.

The End.
