Hey Mom & Dad,

Imagine ol’ Bubba, your fur-covered Romeo, charming a ghostly beauty and outwitting a sleek rival in a town where spirits bark at the moon. Swooning under willow wraiths, winning spectral hearts, and ensuring Spencerville’s yarns are as rich as the treats at The Barkery. Love’s won, tails are high, and our story’s just begun.

Catch you on the other side of the leash,
Big Bubba No Trouble

I’ll tell you now, Spencerville ain’t your typical fire hydrant on the corner, ‘fetch the ball’ kind of place. It’s exceptional, like a never-ending stash of treats, kind of exceptional. My days are woven into this tapestry of supernatural jaunts and romances that quite frankly, would make the most fabulous ghost of a tail wag with envy. I, your humble and rather dashing Bubba, have had the pleasure of partaking in such ethereal delights, alongside my ever-loyal compatriot, Brutus. Although, between you and me, he can’t hold a candle to my courtly charm.

So, on any given twilight in Eastern White Westie Woods, the mystique of Spencerville wraps around us like a well-loved blanket—all cozied up in the uncanny. I remember the time I first laid eyes on her—Sasha, a specter of beauty with fur like moonbeam silk, and eyes that could make the stars sigh in envy. It was at The Barkery, amid the aroma of freshly baked liver snaps and cinnamon pawffins. I was torn between the agony of choosing a treat and the ecstasy of her gaze.

Love, I must say, is the most peculiar affliction for a dog of spectral elegance. It sneaks upon you like a ninja cat—silent until it vehemently scratches at your insides. And with Sasha, affection was as immediate as my hunger upon sniffing Kibble Cuisine’s daily special. With every ounce of my phantom form, I adored her; incorporeally, intensively, impossibly.

Our romance was less of wagging tails and more like intertwined auras. We held paws beneath the velvet glow of shade trees and danced, our movements whispering secrets only the night could comprehend. She told me of her life before, of memories treasured like the finest marrow bones. I listened, rapt, because she spun yarns finer than silk, and I, ever the gourmand, feasted on her words.

But all isn’t a perpetual scratch behind the ears, you see. Even in Spencerville, even with a love that could transcend realms, trouble has the nasty habit of digging up your garden. And mine came in the form of a ghostly greyhound named Victor. Slicker than a wet dog in a monsoon, he sought Sasha’s heart with a persistence not unlike my appetite. Yet, what can a shadowy sprinter offer that a boxer hound mix, laden with wisdom and wit, cannot?

The challenge was set, not with snarls and growls, but with stoicism that would’ve made the noblest of ghost hounds proud. We vied for Sasha’s devotion with a courage only ancient hound ballads could fathom. My love was a feast to be savored, his a chase to be run—and Sasha, whose heart was a fathomless thing, seemed drawn to both banquet and sprint.

In the hauntingly serene Golden Gate Gardens, where the paranormal flora sway in measureless time, the culmination of our quest for adoration arrived. It’s there that our ghostly affairs flirted with the edges of the living world, our romance straddling the mortal coil and the eternal leash.

Suffice it to say, love like ours isn’t meant to be chained. It’s as wild as the wind romping through Tan Dalmatian Desert, as unpredictable as a sudden downpour on a sunny day. And despite Victor’s relentless pursuit, Sasha gifted her heart into my spectral paws, filling me with a warmth that not even Spencerville’s ever-present sunshine could outshine.

So when the time comes, and you step over that ethereal threshold, you’ll find me, your beloved Bubba, regaling the moon with tales of love that chases away the chill of the endless night. And if you should catch a whiff of otherworldly wistfulness, know that it’s the scent of an undying romance, thriving in a town where ghosts wag their tails and the adventure never truly ends.

The End.
