“Hey there, it’s Commander Nessi here. In Pawsburg, it’s another night with chaos knocking at the door. From Bella’s Diner, the Pet Avengers and I are headed to fix a mishap at Chihuahua Castle. No time to lounge, the town needs us. As always, we’re sticking together like peanut butter. Till later! – Nessi the Night-Fury”

As I peeked over the sill of Bella’s Diner, washing down a half-eaten Pup-Peroni with a gulp of last night’s rainwater, I saw her. None other than our dark knight, Nessi, our mighty leader who bears a coat as black as the midnight we floundered in. But let’s not dwell on introductions now, we’ve got a cape to chase.

Nessi, channeling every bit of her inner WonderWoman, was headed towards Chihuahua Castle, where the latest mishap had occurred. I downed the last of my meal in one, grotesque swing of my jaws and sprinted towards her.

“Nessi,” roared my Beagle voice as I caught up. “What’s the word?”

“Chaos,” she replied curtly, eyes locked on the mountainous castle.

Ah, chaos…our old friend. I tightened my collar, my special one with the embedded gadgetry, and braced myself for the night.

In Pawsburg, there are days as calm as still water, and then there are days – well, nights rather – like this. Dark, enigmatic, the potential for pandemonium hiding behind every shadowy corner. And believe you me, we had gone beyond potential.

The two of us stormed our way past Upper Black Bulldog Bay, not stopping by to check on the peace-loving packs nestled there. No time for lounging on Nessi’s azure rug, or even a quick stop at Woof and Whisker Wellness Center for a quick checkup.

Pawsburg needed us. Perhaps, one of her friends – Turnip the corgi or even Ruddock the Retriever – was in trouble; or there was a lost puppy wandering helplessly around The Bone Appetit; or maybe, the cat gangs were causing a racket again, turning the normally serene Black Bulldog Bay into a crossfire.

Chihuahua Castle, that was our destination, looming high ahead. I couldn’t help but glance sideways at Nessi. Here, she was in her element, ripping through the wind with exhilarating vigor, her tender side safely packed away, just like Quackie, her rubber duck, was likely nestled safely on her favorite rug at this ungodly hour.

“Why peanut butter?” I asked, veering off topic, because nervous Beagles have a knack for irrelevant chatter. Nessi chuckled, a low throaty sound.

“Peanut butter is the embodiment of Pawsburg,” she replied, her voice carrying a hint of the breeze itself. “Sweet, popular, and always ready to stick with you.”

With that, we leaped towards the castle gates and into the heart of Pawsburg’s latest adventure. For Pawsburg, for peanut butter treats, and the love for all things dog! And, oh boy, you better bet those lemons weren’t invited. This was a job for the Pet Avengers – a night in the life of our very own dog’s tale.

The End.
