Hi Mom! Guess what? I’ve been such a good girl! I’ve helped the Smiths find their lost son, made new friends at the park, and even learned a new trick. Life’s an adventure and I’m loving every moment. 🐾 Love, Queeny Bean

It was a sunny Tuesday afternoon, and I found myself sunbathing on the shores of East Bulldog Bay, a favorite haunt since I arrived in Spencerville. The rays of the sun danced off my brindle coat, stirring the warmth in my heart. Despite the heavenly leisure, I couldn’t help but think about my family on Earth—especially my little brother Freddy, who refuses to eat his vegetables. Oh, Freddy Furcury, if only you knew the delight of fresh green beans!

But life in Spencerville is an adventure unbound, an eternal road trip peppered with delightful encounters and unforgettable tales. Today, I decided to take a long walk through the town, stretching my legs and perhaps indulging my love for digging in the rich soil of Golden Gate Gardens. As I trotted along, my chocolate brown eyes caught sight of South Siberian Summit towering in the distance. I remembered how much I loved hikes and car rides through similar majestic landscapes with Mom.

Life here isn’t without its earthly responsibilities either. At Queeny’s Farmstand, I tend to my vegetable garden with meticulous care and bake special treats for dogs with allergies. Today had been busy; the veggie-hating Freddy would be astounded at the variety of produce I proudly sold—potatoes, carrots, and, yes, the glorious green beans. Helping other dogs appreciate the beauty of simple, healthy veggies felt like my doggy duty. Still, it was time to unwind.

Suddenly, I felt it—a light shiver of the ground beneath my paws. I sniffed the air, a mixture of anticipation and intrigue. Was someone attempting to dig into my perfect garden at Golden Gate Gardens? I doubted it; everyone in Spencerville respected my work. But you can never be too sure.

I ambled over to Ruff-n-Ready, another beloved haunt for the best turkey and chicken-themed dishes. As I nibbled on a piece of bread (my favorites, those human delicacies), I overheard talk of a new place to explore—an enchanting forest beyond the well-known paths. My tail wagged furiously. Exploring new terrains had always been my calling.

Food in my belly and curiosity in my step, I soon found myself at the edge of East Bulldog Bay, staring into the forest that bordered the bay. The usual chatter of birds and rustle of leaves felt amplified here, a call to adventure that surged through my veins. It wasn’t long before I plunged into the thicket, my paws digging into the newfound trail as if I were on a grand walk with Mom.

Memories of digging back home floated back—the old building’s wire, large pliers, a penny, nails—all treasures I proudly presented to Mom. Here, within the Spencerville woods, each step and scrape of my paws brought back those endearing moments, connecting my past to my present.

It was in one such misguided dig that I stumbled upon my first treasure in Spencerville: a collar inscribed with the name “Diamond.” Ah, my old friend, the white pit bull who’d been a beacon of comfort in my early days here. Nostalgia washed over me as moonlight filtered through the high canopy, reminding me of my earthly home’s silent, comforting nights.

Wandering further, I couldn’t help but be reminded of Freddy Furcury. What a twist of fate had brought me here while he lived on, disdainful of veggies. I silently vowed to keep this place perfect for his arrival one day, whenever that might be.

Just as the sky began to purple with impending dusk, I made my way back towards the shimmering lights of Spencerville. There was a certain tranquility in knowing that though we dogs waited, we waited together, each day filled with new journeys, memorable encounters, and a bone-deep awareness of eventual reunions.

Back in town, I headed towards The Bark Shak for a well-deserved snack. As I savored each bite, I couldn’t help but reflect on how Spencerville was a testament to love stretching beyond realms—a comfortable waiting space where we, the dogs with hearts of gold, could live with joy and anticipation for the day we’d be with our humans once more. And so, I settled for the night, dreaming of digged gardens, vegetable triumphs, and heartfelt reunions yet to come.
