Hey there!

So, I’m busy being a hero again. Snuck out through the backyard portal to Pawsburg while my humans slept. Hooked up with Zoey and Maggie. We followed an ancient treasure map to find a magical Frisbee with some serious canine history. Had a vision about old Pawsburg and became doggy legends. Adventure of the century, no biggie.

Catch you on the flip side!

– Riley (a.k.a. The Tail-Wagging Wonder)

It was one of those nights when the moon seemed to have eaten too many cookies, beaming bloated and bright over Pawsburg. While my humans slept soundly in their predictable beds on Earth, I, Riley, slipped through the hidden portal behind the backyard oak tree. With a wag of my tail, I was in Pawsburg, where adventures were as common as fleas at a dog park.

Zoey was already waiting for me at the Pooch’s Pub, her one black eye gleaming mischievously. “What took you so long, Riley?” she yapped, her tail flapping like a wind-blown flag.

“Maggie decided to play sentinel again. Had to weave my way around her,” I replied, rolling my eyes. Maggie took guarding too seriously for her own good sometimes. But tonight, our mission was grander than mere escape. There was chatter among the dogs of Kelpie Keys about a secret hidden within Shiba Inlet, and Zoey—a relentless snoop by nature—had sniffed out an ancient treasure map buried in the oldest volume of The Wagging Tail Bookstore.

With Zoey taking the lead, we padded gently down Affenpinscher Avenue, each paw step a symphony on the cobblestone streets. Maggie soon caught up to us, having probably sensed the mischief miles ahead.

“Bones help us if this isn’t worth the midnight run,” Maggie growled, shaking her fur skeptically. But I knew beneath that gr protective demeanor, she was curious. And hungry.

Arriving at Shiba Inlet, the air thickened with mystery. The moon painted the sandy shores in hues of silver and darkness. Waves lapped gently, whispering secrets old as time. Zoey thrust the crumpled map towards me, her voice a purr of excitement. “The clues start here. Something about the oldest driftwood pointing to the stars.”

It’s worth mentioning that I’m no Sherlock Bones, but my intelligence is above average. Star maps, however, were not my territory. We nosed around aimlessly until Maggie grumbled, “Stars? Look at the ground, you goofballs.”

So, there it was—the oldest piece of driftwood. I felt like I’d found an ancient scroll from The Barking Boutique’s discount pile. Whispering the incantation Zoey had found in the book—”Woofus Antiquus Caninus”—we tapped our paws and felt the ground tremble beneath us.

A hidden passage revealed itself, glowing faintly. We tred carefully, paws slipping into the damp earth. Finally, we landed in a small cavern illuminated by moonbeams piercing through cracks above. There lay an archaic Frisbee studded with runes, floating elegantly as if waiting for centuries to be found.

My heart soared, and before I could think, I leaped and caught it. “Classic Riley,” sighed Maggie, unimpressed. But as the Frisbee touched my snout, a vision flashed—ancient Pawsburg! Majestic canines, tall and noble, building the town with their paws. This Frisbee was magical, a relic to grant wisdom and skills forgotten.

Zoey’s eyes sparkled, acknowledging we were onto something colossal. “We’ll be legends,” she barked, thinking of our names etched in the history scrolls of Pawsburg.

Fetching was about to get a whole new meaning.

As dawn approached, we exited the cavern, returning to our lives on Earth. The moon paled against the rising sun, but we had a secret too grand to wag about openly, confined to shared glances of camaraderie.

Back home, I cuddled beside my humans, the Frisbee safely hidden where not even the nosiest of vacuum cleaners could disturb it. Zoey dreamed with her paws twitching, Maggie lay vigilant, and for once, I was simply Riley, calm and content, knowing our lives were part of an infinite, ancient tale.

Pawsburg awaited our next adventure. The Dogvinci Code was just beginning to reveal itself.

The End.
