Hey Ma, just living it up in Spencerville! Riding turf waves, scaling doggy castles, avoiding ear-cleanings, while fondly reminiscing about our times. Pooch paradise, you ask? Definitely, minus the pesky ear bit. Miss you, though. Passing time, wagging tail until we meet again. – Ace 🐾

Listen to the story here.

Ain’t it a delight to stride along the cobblestones of Spencerville? That’s where I, Ace – the ever-vibrant Yellow Labrador sparkles in shades of local sorcery. I’ve ridden the waves of Shih Tzu Stadium’s turf, snuck through the edges of Lower Golden Gate Gardens, and clambered up the rocky ramparts of Northern Choco Chihuahua Castle. It’s positively exhilarating, I say, an experience that crowns my mortal existence.

Ah, the sun-brushed fur of an 80 lbs Yellow Labrador, radiating warmth that couples the ember-like wafts of Spencerville magic. The air brims with enchanting whiffs of K9 Kebabs, rhythmic hums from Pawsome Pancakes flutter the senses, The Cat’s Meow Sushi beckons like a siren. Just like those times at the beach, the park, and the homely backyard where I romped around with my loyal partner in crime, Caffrey.

There’s luxury, oh yes, and what-have-yous in this afterlife. The Snooty Snout Boutique has an endless array of squeaky toys – brilliant inventions that make the hours in this ethereal town spin quicker than a puppy chasing its tail. But the one shade that taints these velveteen shades of nirvana is that echo from reality, the dread of ear-cleanings and, God forbid, the bath. Nevertheless, for the sake of avoiding distasteful vegetables and retaining the taste of peanut butter on my tongue – a small price to pay indeed.

And so, through the timeless alleys of Canine Couture Clothing and the Fetching Feline Pet Emporium, we prance, leaving traces of joy and infectious laughter. Our humans, ever so loving and caring, remain in our hearts, their memories entwined with the scent of steak and cheese. Bound by loyalty, I am certain of the ticking clock, certain that our ethereal reunion is but an echo away. Moments shift to days, days to unmeasured epochs, and we wait.

In Spencerville, you see, it’s not about the losing – it’s about the infinite waiting, punctuated with bouts of joy, love, and the occasional ear-cleaning. It’s a life, no, a post-life most delightful, a harmony of the real and the magical, all bundled up in a town where dogs run free and cats find solace. Ah, Spencerville, a utopia, indeed. Except the ear-cleansing, of course. How frightfully mundane!

The End.
