Hey hooman 💬,

Just a quick tail wag from Spencerville, where I’ve been living the unleashed life and chasing the horizon with my furry pals. We’ve been sniffing out adventure at Boxer Beach and sharing tales of our glory days. Spencerville’s my sunset-framed stage, and, paws down, we’re living the eternal weekend. 🐾☀️🏖️

Woof soon, Wocket 🐕✨

There’s a certain swagger in the way a dog trots when she knows the lay of the land, and I, Wocket, with my scruffy beard fluttering in the breeze and ears twitching at the whisper of escapade, am no exception. Spencerville ain’t your ordinary frontier; it’s a land beyond the rainbow bridge, where every tail-wagging soul roams free, but don’t let its charm fool you – this place has capers aplenty if your snout’s keen enough to sniff ’em out.

Now, every morning I traipse down to The Bark Shak, where the flapjacks are always fluffy and the bacon’s eternally sizzling. But this particular morning felt different. The sun rose with a sense of occasion, painting the sky in rosy swathes as I strolled to the Bark Shak, and my friends were already gathered, tails a-waggin’ in the glow of dawn.

Max had that glint in his eye, the look he gets when he’s cooked up something wilder than the rattlesnakes that used to terrify me back when days had endings and the concept of ‘forever’ was just a nice thought. And dainty Tilly, whiskers a-quiver, sipped her saucer of milk like she didn’t know a thing – but that feline knew more than she’d ever let on.

“Guess what, Wocket,” Max bellowed, spraying crumbs as he spoke. “We’re goin’ on an adventure, to the rugged edge of Spencerville. Right up to Boxer Beach!”

I chuckled. “And what treasure are we questing for, dear outlaw?”

He rolled a tennis ball to me with a sly grin. “Freedom, camaraderie, and the sheer thrill of the chase!”

So with nothing but our moxie and the wind at our backs, we set off into the unkempt wilderness of Spencerville’s outskirts. The Southern Golden Retriever River was our guide, its waters whispering of bygone days and yet untold tales. We wandered through market squares where I nodded to familiar faces: the cockatoo that cackled like an old prospector, the dachshund with more hat than hound.

At high noon, we reached East Pug Palace, and there it was – our Boxer Beach, perfectly pristine and untouched – unmarked by paw or claw. I felt a thrill as we raced across the sands, my perky ears slicked back against the wind, and for a brief moment, our absence from earth was but a distant memory.

A respite was needed, so we cobbled together a feast from Pup-Cakes and Whiskers and Wings, my companions heaved chuckles at my dismay when a rogue brussels sprout rolled by. “A cruel jest indeed,” I muttered, flicking it away with a paw.

As the midday sun sunk lower, casting lengthy shadows that stirred nostalgia for those wild days of puppydom, we huddled together, watching canines surf the waves—pooches more brave than I ever was with water. Each crash of the waves sang of the time that rustles by even in realms eternal like this.

We pitched stories to the setting sun, Max’s of great fetches and Tilly recounting her days as the slyest of prowlers. The aging beagle jovially regaled us with days yonder – daring do’s and catnip hoedowns. Each tale was a nod to those who came and went, and to the fact that we were scribing our own legend upon Spencerville’s boundless parchment.

As the twilight crept over Boxer Beach, I knew – in this land that straddles the realms of everlasting yarns and dog-eared memories – we had struck gold. Not the kind that glimmers in prospector pans but the kind that shines in the unfading light of companionship.

So here’s to Spencerville, the wildest of frontiers, where a tan Brussels Griffon like myself can don her boots, call to her mates, and wade into sunsets endless as the love that brought us here.

The End.
