“Hey Mom, had a wild night in Pawsburg. Kicked back with the crew, filled up on chicken, Watson told tall tales. Hit the Dalmatian Desert post-dinner, dang crickets turned a vacuum cleaner loose on me! With a roar, I turned it into a gumdrop. Another night in the books. Kisses, Tri Merle Millie aka your brave little bulldog.”

Listen to the story here.

Well, now, gather round y’all, as I recount another fine day in the adventurous life of our good ol’ friend, Black Tri Merle Millie. Unlike your ordinary pups, Millie’s life was brimming with laughter, friendship, and let’s not forget her bizarre run-ins with that doggone vacuum cleaner!

One evening, under the cloak of twinkling stars, Millie sneaked off to Pawsburg, her favorite jaunt, where she joined up with her closest of confidantes. Millie was a prime aristocrat in Pawsburg’s society, and her arrival was as delightful as the morning sun to its citizens. Life, my friends, was a carnival in this enchanted realm of dogs and mischief!

The first thing on Millie’s agenda was the Ruff-n-Ready, where that intellectual bloodhound, Watson, shared tales of his mystery-solving with a captivated Millie. As Watson narrated his cases, Millie watched with rapt attention, savoring every bite of her favorite chicken dish. Little did she suspect that the cricket audience, hovering around the candle-light, was busy casting tiny magical spells on our cherished bulldog.

With her belly full and the night still young, Millie and her troupe marched off to the mystifying Lower Dalmatian Desert, a realm teeming with mythical creatures. We all know Millie has seen her fair share of peculiar things, but this night, oh this night, was something else.

With a flick of their tails and paws, the desert sands took the shape of fantastic creatures, hopping jackalopes and even fire-breathing dragons! But nothing struck terror into dear old Millie’s heart as the sight of – and good mercy, you’ll laugh yet hold your breath for this – a colossal vacuum cleaner rising from the grains, its roar echoing through the desert plain. Magic was afoot, and Millie, our brave, charismatic bulldog, took a step back, her mismatched eyes wide with trepidation.

With a cacophony of laughter echoing from the sly magical crickets, Millie took a stance. “Get along,” she barked at the looming monstrous appliance, her friends looking on incredulously. Then, pulling at the courage nestled in her, she pranced at the whirling sand beast, belting out a roar so earth-shatteringly loud that even the mythical creatures stopped in their tracks.

As the dust settled, and the laughter of those mischievous crickets faded away, the shadow of the immense vacuum cleaner morphed into an oversized gumdrop. Millie, panting and triumphant, turned to her buddies, their applause filling the late-night air.

And so, another endearing saga of our favorite Olde English Bulldogge played out, with Millie’s courage taking center stage. A tale to tell when the stars twinkle over Pawsburg, reminding us all, especially that cunning cricket band, of Millie’s comical yet triumphant adventure. Now, ain’t that a sight fitting of a Mark Twain prose, I reckon?

The End.
