Hey there, it’s your rogue Sheltie, Levine! Just quashed the Hypoallergenic Hack mystery at the Pawsome Pet Pharmacy by sniffing out a side-dish-loving Pomeranian named Pudge. Comedy, conspiracy, and a little cat Shakespurr happened. Now, celebrating with a feast at Bow Wow Bistro. Being dapper and detective, always. Levine, over and out!

As the sun dipped beneath the horizon, the hustle and bustle of Pawsburg sprung to life. Levine here, your daring Sheltie and not-so-ordinary gentleman rogue. As the night unfurled, I felt a shiver of anticipation prickle against my fine autumn coat.

“Tonight,” I seemed to whisper to the chilly breeze gliding across the lawns of Pawsburg Park, “dogged dreams become dogged realities”.

Having secured my gnawed duck and trusty tug rope in my Fetch! Toys and Treats satchel (Ah, the frills of economy, can’t resist!), I scampered towards Retriever River to meet my incorrigible comrades. Old Duke, the German Shepherd who’s got the kind of bark that could jolt a sleeping Grizzly bear and, of course, Muffin, that sassy Siamese who harbored more secrets than the mysterious North Chihuahua Castle.

Good evening was exchanged, and tails wagged in fervent anticipation of the night’s endeavor. Tonight, the mission was to solve the Hypoallergenic Hack debacle at The Pawsome Pet Pharmacy. Something was terribly askew, and orders of the hypoallergenic medication were piling up. We braced ourselves as the familiar brickwork of the pet pharmacy came into view, it’s only illumination from the pale moon up above.

A couple of softly uttered canine curses and one extravagant cat soliloquy later (word of advice: never allow a cat to go full Shakespurr on you), we found ourselves standing before the mounting pile of Hack. By the breed of a Bulldog’s breath, it was disconcerting!

“Perhaps it’s a ‘grape’ conspiracy,” Duke ventured, his eyes glinting mischievously. I winced at the word ‘grape’, my nemesis.

“Nah, you flea-ridden fool,” I retorted, “that’s as plausible as me being spotted dining in Bone Appetit!” We let out a ripple of laughter, the tense atmosphere momentarily forgotten.

Eventually, after much wagging of minds, we pieced together the puzzle, which led us from the Pawsome Pet Pharmacy to the choked supply channel, then onwards to the Groom Room, and back again. Turns out there was portly Pomeranian named Pudge who had been gobbling up stocks of hypoallergenic cream as a side-dish to his Kibble Cuisine (not taste, definitely not taste!).

Case solved, we feasted on grilled chicken at The Bow Wow Bistro to celebrate, our laughter echoing in the predawn quiet of Pawsburg. A starring role in a Pawsburg mystery, a detective in my heart, and a dreamer in my dogged soul, I’m still Levine, your autumnal gold and stark, white marvel!

The End.
