Oh, get this. There I was, flopped on the plush green expanse of Western Husky Hill, fur glowing in the Spencerville sun like I’d been dipped in honey with just a drizzle of cream—thanks to that quirky white patch on my paw—when a great idea thumped into my head with the subtlety of a bulldog at a buffet.

I, Copper, amicably known as “that Golden with the contagious grin,” decided it was high time for an adventure!

The plan was simple: a road trip across Spencerville. Lucy, the bouncing Beagle with more energy than the Dog-gone Good BBQ had meaty ribs, and Max, the regal Dalmatian who could spot a fire hydrant miles away, were totally game. We were going to visit every hot spot in town, snagging treats and trinkets like they were going out of style—which, in Spencerville, darling, nothing ever does.

“Nose to the wind, paws to the road,” I barked with a wag. Our first stop? East Pug Palace. You haven’t seen luxury until you’ve seen a pug in a faux diamond collar sipping from a bowl of chilled spring water. We rolled in there like we owned the place—mostly because Lucy befriended a pug named Charlie who had an in with the owner.

Then off to Brown Boxer Beach because, hello, what’s a road trip without some splash? The scent of the sea hit our snouts, and we bolted like we had rockets strapped to our tails. Sand flew, frisbees were caught, and let me tell ya, Max has a mean doggy paddle.

We grabbed a bite at Fetch-N-Bites because, please, you don’t road trip on an empty stomach. I ordered the apple infused dog biscuits—throwback to Mrs. Henderson’s heavenly golden apples—and steered clear of the lemon bites. Lucy chomped on meaty bits, while Max, Mr. Firehouse and all, had a hankering for some smoked sausage.

After a little shopping spree at Pet Partners Pet Supplies (new travel bandanas for everyone, because fashion), we cruised to The Wagging Tail Bookstore. No Eleanor here to tell me which mystery to sniff out, but the essence of her and the countless stories we’d shared curled around me like a comforting hug.

The day slid by like a dog chasing its tail, full of laughs and the kind of shenanigans that give our humans stories to tell their friends. But I’ll level with you, the heart of a road trip in Spencerville isn’t just the sights or the snacks; it’s in the warmth that fills your chest when you think of the humans you’re waiting for.

Tongues lavishly lolled and tails wagging to an invisible beat, we three amigos made our merry way back under the caramel skies. We’d gathered new tales to tell Rosie and Tucker, and join our folklore collection of memories that tethered us to more than just Spencerville, but to the love that brought us here, to the love which, one day, would reunite us with our humans.

And you can bet your last chew toy, those stories would be Legendary with a capital L, just like our road trip.

The End.
