Under the ever-twinkling canopy of a not-quite-midnight sky, I found myself sauntering down Sapphire Schnauzer Street, my fluffy tail keeping tempo with my thoughts—which, mind you, are always quite profound at this hour. There are things you ought to know at the outset, chiefly that my name’s Whiskey Girl, and I’m not an ordinary Morkie with a penchant for salmon and philosophy. I’ve got legs for days (in dog inches, anyway) and a heart stitched with threads of pure adventure.

Now, Pawsburg, it’s not your run-of-the-mill, tail-wagging town. Oh no, it’s where the woof meets the weird. In this magical hamlet, we dogs wield the fuzzy fabric of reality like a chewed-up rope toy. For starters, the fire hydrants aren’t just for… you know, they also double as dials to destinations distant, and dialing isn’t ever dull when you’re a time-travelling pet.

As a rule of the paw, I never embark on a temporal escapade without the company of my pal Barkley, and occasionally Mittens, because even nonchalant cats need a thrill, even if they don’t show it. Speaking of, “Thrill me,” I said to the hydrant, my nose giving it a quick nudge clockwise. Then, with a flash of light and a sensation one might liken to doing zoomies in zero-gravity, we were off.

We landed with a thud that suggested the Middle Ages didn’t care much for their welcome mats. “Behold!” Barkley barked, sniffing around an actual market square, real hay underpaw instead of our usual plastic faux-furgrass. Mittens, purring with indifference, settled on a nearby barrel, tail neatly coiling around her paws.

Galloping gallantly between the hustle of hagglers and the clamor of blacksmiths, there’s me, Whiskey Girl, partaking in the bustling scene, dodging wooden carts, and sparing no chance to pass bits of wisdom to flea-infested locals. “Thou shalt not dine on cucumbers!” I insisted to a bemused butcher, whose puzzlement was only usurped by his curiosity at the sight of a prophetic Morkie.

Our misadventures meandered, from chasing the hoop skirts of noble ladies—to Barkley’s delight, I might add—to unraveling the mystery of why jesters wear such odd hats. I mused it could be compensating for lack of wit, but who am I to say. I’m just a dog with time travel at her paws.

The sun began to dip across this ancient panorama, casting long shadows and reminding us that time, while playground to puppies, has its curfew too. “It’s time,” I declared, the group gathering back at our trusty hydrant. Mittens bid adieu to her newfound admirers—a cadre of pigeons she swore were philosophers—Barkley with a stolen slipper souvenir in his maw (a tale for another time), and me, recollecting my thoughts for the memoirs.

Twist for the past, nudge for the future, and a wag for good measure, we spiraled back to modern Pawbsburg—the sights and smells a hearty contrast to those medieval musings. Affenpinscher Avenue greeted us with its familiar neon glow: back in time for Setter’s Steakhouse happy hour (or should I wag, yappy hour).

Home is where the heart is, but for a time-traveling Morkie with a healthy disdain for cucumbers, it’s also wherever the paws have perambulated. So, take a page from Whiskey Girl; remember every romp leads to a tale, and every tail spins a romp of its own.

And just like that, dear reader, our time-bending tale wags to an end. But worry not, Pawsburg remains, time’s leash ever-slack, adventures never far, for a spirited soul named Whiskey Girl.

The End.
