Hey there, it’s Obi, your curly-furred poodle mascot and storyteller. Today in Pawsburg, I’ve been navigating between canine cafes, swim sessions, and impromptu rescue missions – saved Max from his own sense of direction…again. Pup’s gotta do what a pup’s gotta do, right? Chow-chow for now, Obi!

Listen to the story here

I’ve spent enough nights hair-tied, with my button-eyes half-closed on a squishy blue football to recognize the sweet symphony of silence. Owners finally asleep, Pawsburg springs to life like a football tossed by an overeager pup. Well, speaking of a football, that’s me, your curly-furred narrator, Obi, putting on my glasses. You heard me right, I’m the chic poodle in glasses. Quirky added to the mix, because who wants to be normal, huh?

“Puppachinos on me, Obi!” Max called out, as he dashed toward The Canine Cafe, nearly knocking over Mrs. Frenchie’s flower pot; she runs The Doggie Daycare and doesn’t do subtle. I knew better than to abandon our routine football session before Max’s monthly bath day.

“Raincheck, Max!” I shouted back and headed in the opposite direction to the Shih Tzu Stadium.

I was deep into my jam session with the blue football when I noticed something. Where was Max? He never misses his puppachino at K9 kebabs, those were his life force second only to the pond in Spotted Red Beagle Beach.

“Obi.” Max’s voice echoed from my collar speaker: “Max here, I’m in a bit of a ruff situation… I’ve been cap-paw-ed and am locked up somewhere that smells like cat pee and broccoli. It’s scaring the living furries outta me. Think I’m lost, buddy.”

Lost? MAX? Oh, the irony. He’d even get lost in a bathtub. And broccoli? That’s my kryptonite level gross. Mission Impossible was in full swing in Pawsburg.

“No bones about it, we are saving Max,” I announced. Pawsburg had gone eerily silent, like a freshly groomed Pomeranian at The Pampered Pooch Salon, everyone awaiting my plan.

I dreamt a swift movie montage of my buddies at Pawsburg carrying out the rescue operation: sniffing out Max’s leash, finding that weird smell of broccoli, and tailing it down to the backyard of Furrific Fried Chicken.

As it turns out, Max had mistaken the back door of the restaurant for the entrance to The Canine Cafe. A ridiculous mix up? Ruff chance. But hey, that’s Max for ya.

With a chicken lollipop hanging from his mouth, Max returned to his Labradrooling self. I reminded him not to chew off more than he could swallow. Ever.

“Oh, Obi! You did it!” The cheer echoed all around Pawsburg.

“Well, you know what they say,” I muttered, my eyes never leaving Max. A pup’s gotta do what a pup’s gotta do.

And so ended one more day in Pawsburg, full of frolic, fun, and yes, the occasional broccoli torture chamber. Pet Rescue Mission, quite the absolute ‘pawsome’ secret title we keep under our collars, don’t you think?

The End.
