Hey Mom, just a heads-up: I had a wild day in dreamy Pawsburgh, running amok in canine Narnia. Found myself chowing down shawarma with a mystical Husky and sheep-herding by telekinesis, all while keeping my fluff in fabulous form. Remember, our snooze-fests spark the best adventures! Catch you on the pillow-side. 😴✨🐾 – Millie

Oh, don’t look so surprised. This is Millie speaking, your favorite Olde English Bulldogge with the patchwork coat and the gourmet palette. So yeah, while your snores were a symphony rivaling the most seasoned orchestra, I had another little adventure in Pawsburgh. It’s this kind of magical town – think Narnia with a fire hydrant on every corner. And trust me when I say, it’s where us dogs go to strut our fluff while you humans are in dreamland.

Anyway, it all started with a craving. Not just any craving, but one for Woof Waffles topped with chunky chicken – a delicious irony, right? There I was, strolling through the mystical Saluki Sands, feeling the grains tickling my paws. The beach stretched like a golden runway, flirting with the foamy tips of the Emerald Eskimo Estuary. Trippy stuff for a Tuesday.

As I trotted to my favorite breakfast joint, that’s when I saw it – Fido’s Feast was closed for renovations! But a girl’s gotta eat, so on I went to Shepherd’s Shawarma, with its exotic aromas bland enough to make me miss my Sid Sloth stuffy.

At the counter sat the huskiest Husky you ever did see, engrossed in a shawarma that let’s just say, was savoring his undivided attention. “Hey buddy, table for one please.”

His eyes floated to my mismatched ones, and he smiled. “Right on. You’re Millie, right? Heard your epic chase with the mailman reached legend status.”

Now, I don’t usually blush, but let’s just say if I had opposable thumbs, I’d be flipping my hair right about then.

The husky was called Apollo. As magical as the name suggests. You see, he had this quirky ability to fetch things out of thin air. No kidding, he conjured his own shawarma without batting an eyelid.

So anyway, between scarfing down the finest lamb shawarma (imagine that!) and trading tales about our humans’ funny habits, Apollo filled me in on The Pawfect Training Center’s new secret menu – a mystery they’d apparently spend eternity debating at The Canine Cafe. I mean, my human’s “Did I order this?” online shopping antics had nothing on this clandestine canine gossip.

Filled to the brim with delectable meats and magical meats, our next stop had to be the mystical Malamute Mountain – every dog’s haven for working off those extra indulgent calories. Turns out, sheep-herding was part of a dog’s daily aerobics up there. Cue me, all brawn and very little grace, skidding between fluffs of rebellious sheep while Apollo casually herded them with his weird doggy telekinesis.

In the midst of the bleating madness and my own panting, a lesson hit home – every newfound friendship unfolded a new layer to my own tail-wagging fable.

Look, I might be an Olde English Bulldogge, but I’m no stick in the mud. As Dolly Parton might have crooned had she been a canine, “Working 9 to 5, just to keep the dream – and the belly – alive.” But instead of chasing dreams, I chase tales; tales that curl into a soft spot in your heart and make for the coziest of cuddles when I get back to your side.

So, by the time I rolled back into my own backyard kingdom and you stirred from your slumber, the only evidence of my Pawsburgh escapades were the paw prints in my bed and the content grin stuck on my chops. And yes, you missed all the fun, but don’t wrinkle your forehead. When the stars grow bored tonight, Pawsburgh and I will wait.

Hey, what’s an Olde English Bulldogge’s day without a little magic, right?

The End.
