Hey Mom,

Just checking in from the celestial sprawl of Spacerville! Spent the day soaring past space bones, dodging comet dust in the White Westie Woods, and searching for Cocoa among the moon moths. Discovered the ultimate doggy deli near Fawn Pug Palace (seriously, their meteor-baked biscuits are out of this world). Found Cocoa looking star-kissed and safe. From cosmic chases to tail-wagging legends, it’s never dull in the afterlife’s astropark. Sending woofs and stardust sprinkles your way!

Hugs and face licks,
Princess Rose Marie 🐾✨🚀

In the sprawling cosmos that is Spacerville, there exists a tiny Chihuahua by the name of Rosie – and I would know, considering I am the very aforementioned creature. Life here is a star-studded affair quite literally, for the looming silhouettes of space bones and the flickering streetlights of distant galaxies illuminate the town that pets, like myself, find solace in, far from the mortal coil of Earth.

In the wake of the vast constellations, there lies White Westie Woods, a nebulous forest of interstellar trunks and asteroid acorns, and it is here that my adventure unfolds. With paws as light as comet dust, I meandered through the ethereal underbrush, on the lookout for my brother Cocoa, who’d taken to gallivanting with moon moths the night prior.

You see, adventure is not simply a pastime; it’s an irresistible call, a siren’s song, a… smell, if you will, that you just can’t shake off your fur no matter how vigorous the shake. So naturally, I was off on my routine patrol, steering my craft—a quaint little vessel with an engine that purred like Moxie, when she’s in a good mood, which, to be quite frank, is as often as a solar eclipse.

Past the edge of White Westie Woods lies the silken stretch of the Milky Way’s sands, a regular haunt of mine, if one eyes my preferred locales. A place where one can bask in the embrace of suns and let the cosmic waves lap at dainty paws. But alas, today was not for unwinding; it was for the art of the space chase. Onward I flew, my tiny ship fueled by the memory of beloved spaghetti, the propulsion system running on the distilled essence of French fry joy.

I skirted the perimeter of the insidious city, the planet of perpetual cacophony, home to daunting towers that barked and meowed in the kind of mechanical uproar that rattled my serenity. Not my cup of tea—or bowl of water, to stick to the canine colloquialisms. Swerving nimbly, my quest led me in quite the opposite direction.

Ah, but what’s an odyssey without a detour through Fawn Pug Palace, the pinnacle of majestic star clusters and gilded kibble? It’s also the home of The Fetching Deli, where the strudel comes with stardust sprinkles, and the dog biscuits are meteor-baked to perfection. Some say they craft a sandwich that can make a grown bullmastiff weep; it is a topic of heated debate at the Doggy Delight.

One should think that a dog of my small stature would be intimidated by these grand cosmic constructs, by the enormity of space and the infinity of stars, but may I remind you that within this tiny frame beats the heart of a lion, or at least a very spirited house cat. I approached the Fawn Pug Palace with the same fervor I reserve for a pristine tangle of blankets.

There before the gleaming gates of the palace, I found dear Cocoa, merged in play with a constellation of long-tailed comet critters, his coat aglow with the energy of adventure just concluded. Unbeknownst to him, I’d tracked his trail across this galaxy of convivial reunions, the patchwork of our family stretching across the starry sky like a quilt of affection and memories past.

Cocoa’s eyes met mine, and I like to think there was an understanding that passed between us; an acknowledgement of the bond that tied us, a nod to the picaresque life we now lead amid the fantastical realms of Spencerville.

“My dear friends,” I thundered, speaking of course in an internal monologue because as much as Spacerville is a marvel, dogs have yet to master the art of interstellar vocalization, “we are united under the umbrella of the infinite, our tales inscribed in the cosmos, our playful barks echoing into eternity. And when we are not chasing our tales or feasting on celestial pastries, we wait, content in the knowledge that one day our reunion with those we love will come.”

With that, I gathered my merry band, my menagerie of stars, and we set off, exploring the realms unknown, where every woof is a saga, and every tail wag, a legend in the making, here in Spencerville, the afterlife astropark for the bravest souls on four paws.

The End.
