Hey family,
Just your everyday time-traveling English Bulldog here. Uncovered ancient sands in my paws and pirate treasures in my dreams. Tail wagging with stories that the moon whispers to only me. Catch you at the fireplace for tales over kibble!
Barks and chuckles,
Wally 🐾

In Pawsburgh, between the tick and the tock of the human clocks, beneath the woolen shroud of night, my adventures begin. It’s Wally Bear here, and boy, do I have tales that bend the ears of pups and old dogs alike around the Glistening Fire Hydrant, our town’s fabled storytellers’ corner.

When the moon casts a silvery smile upon the world of sleeping humans, I rise, shake off the threads of dreams, and unleash my stout frame from the cozy confines of my fortress of solitude, the red brick abode draped in ivy and joy.

My first stop is Barking Brunch, where the scent of sizzling bacon and omelets thicker than my collar wafts through the air. “A corner table with a view of Spitz Spire, please,” I tell the Bearded Collie hostess. “And might I add, your coat is as resplendent as the sunrise over the Greyhound Grove.”

But today’s repast at Barking Brunch is interrupted by the unexpected: a shimmering, swirling vortex in the corner of the room, the light bending around it as if intimidated by its very presence.

“Boys,” I quip to my Bulldog buddies, lounging with me and feasting on the Parfait of Power, “I believe our day is about to take a historical turn.”

Through the portal, it’s a whisker’s breadth from Roman collars to Egyptian wags. My stocky legs, though built for a dignified waddle, propel me into the time rift with the spirit of a legionnaire on a mission.

“I say, Jolly!” I bark to a Poodle Pharaoh as I land with a thump upon the sands of ancient Egypt. “Would you happen to know the time?” My jowls ripple with the chuckle, a playful dance for the time-entwined onlooker.

“The sun chariot has barely begun its ride across the sky, English Sentry,” Pharaoh Poodle answers with a regal sniff. My patrician snout twitches. Adventure has a scent, and today, it smells like history.

Mere heartbeats leapfrogging centuries, a lost temple in the Garnet Greyhound Grove of Byzantium, a treasure hunt with the swashbuckling Collie pie-rats of Kelpie Keys. I say, Dickens himself couldn’t have written a story as rich with intrigue and as ripe with rib-tickling hijinks.

Mom & Dad, Evan, Tyler, and Logan would jest about the impossibility of such escapades. Sweet Emily would lay a comforting hand upon my crown, unknowing that the sand between my toes was not from our verdant backyard but from the very cradle of civilization.

But all good stories must come to a tail’s end. Back in Pawsburgh, as the unraveling twilight beckons the haul of dawn, I visit Fetch! Toys and Treats to snag a new rubber hamburger to joust with – my trusty scepter lost to time’s embrace.

“And just one more thing,” I pant to the Border Terrier behind the counter, “an apple, crisp as a dewy morning’s first breath.”

“One Breakfast of Champions for Sir Wally Bear,” she replies, sliding the items across the polished counter.

Sprinting towards the red brick haven before the human world awakes, I’m greeted by the daisies standing sentinel over my backyard realm.

“Wally Bear!” a familiar human voice calls. “How’s my brave adventurer this morning?”

Tail wagging, stories brewing, ready to be told anew around the next moonlit gathering, I settle in by the gentle glow of the fireplace. And there, my dreams scatter across time once more, a day in the life of a time-traveling English Bulldog, ever chasing the next great escapade, ready to regale Pawsburgh with legends in the making.

The End.
