Hey Mom,

You won’t believe it, but I turned detective/historian today in a place called Dograssic Park, racing with ancient hounds as they turned Spencerville inside out! Turns out, even amidst chaos, I’m part beagle, part hero. Coming home with loads of ‘tails’ to tell!

Licks and wags,
Daphne (a.k.a. Baby Girl) 🐾✨

Ever since I set foot—or should I say, paw—in Spencerville, I can tell you, life’s been a howlin’ adventure. Currently, I find myself being the wiry beagle narrator of a tale that rivals the excitement of when the kibble delivery truck visits Chow Down Chow Chow. Hold on to your leashes, because this is the saga of Dograssic Park.

Now, I’m a dog who appreciates a good sniff around the Canine Couture Clothing store, maybe a spa treatment at Spa for Paws, but nothing prepared me for the day the gates of Dograssic Park swung open. Imagine, if you will, ancient dog breeds skulking around, their growls echoing through Red Beagle Beach, ears as tall as the Chihuahua Castle towers.

The brainy Yorkies behind the park thought, “Why let dinosaurs have all the fun? Let’s turn the clock back on our canine ancestry.” And so they did, but friends, not all ideas are as golden as retriever fur.

To me, the announcement of the park’s opening was merely background noise to Jasper’s high-pitched monologue on the need for plushier beds. But when the invitation landed at our kennel door, Jasper’s tune changed faster than a greyhound race.

We trotted in on opening day, two small shapes alongside Great Danes and Mastiffs. These ancestral breeds strolled about, their noble heads held high, carrying the weight of centuries past. Oh, there was the Dire Wolf, bulkier than the blue ribbon beefcake at the dog shows, and the bone-chilling howl of something that must’ve been a saber-toothed Siberian.

It was a paradise where a beagle could walk alongside the legends of the canine world. Until it wasn’t.

“Seems the fences aren’t just for show,” I heard a poodle say, eyeing the barriers like a cat would a canary.

Turns out, those ancient canines weren’t just interested in displays of prehistoric poise; they had a taste for mischief—and socks, but mostly mischief. I peered up at the sky as though expecting an answer to fall from the clouds when a shiver ran through the park. The electric system meant to confine these majestic mutts – kaput.

A ripple of barks and snarls surged through the crowds. The park’s creators watched in horror as their primeval pups poked noses through gaps where fences once buzzed, and chaos unleashed itself upon Spencerville.

“Come on, Daphne,” Jasper yipped at me, his little legs a blur, “Let’s show them even old dogs can learn new tricks!”

Our visit turned into a romp for survival. An escapade through a village designed for pleasure, now a playground for an era long bitten the dust.

Amid the turmoil, as the majestic woofs carved a path of playful destruction, my slender legs dashing across Red Beagle Beach, I found an unexpected kinship with these creatures of yesteryears. Their desire for freedom reflected deep within my beagle heart, a longing for harmony in a dreamy town turned topsy-turvy.

Jasper and I, with the tenacity of terriers and the cunning of corsairs, maneuvered through that hair-raising day, becoming unsung heroes of Dograssic Park. As night fell over a calmer Spencerville, our vintage canine visitors, satiated with a banquet of treats and fun, were guided back to their enclosures—a little more respect given to those who held the leashes.

So, as I retire tonight on my fluffy bed at North Chihuahua Castle, I reflect. Indeed, the streets and sands of Spencerville echo with the tales of creatures grander than we’ve ever seen, and in this nearly-perfect place, even when mayhem escorts danger through our gates, all tails wag in the end.

For the whimsy of a beagle’s life is not in the peaceful trot around Fur Tacos, but in the joyous romp through uncertainty, alongside friends and legends alike. And so, under the stars of Spencerville, I linger on the promise of another day, another adventure, ever awaiting our beloved reunion, knowing that even in chaos, we paw our own legends into the sands of time.

The End.
