“Hey Ma, it’s me, Clodog! Spenceville’s sweet. Got bros Abby and Pebbles here! Discovered a love for grilled beef ribs, still loathe baths. Independence suits me, able to roam mountains and enjoy gardens. Missing our old life, still waiting for you, with hopes. Life’s good, no paws for concern. Licks, Clodog 🐾”

I’d like to tell y’all a little tale about Chloe, my companion from the other side, over in Spencerville. Imagine a Saturday afternoon like every other; the folks over at Pup ‘n’ Go Taco Joint whipping up some beef rib tacos, the finest Chloe’s ever hankered for.

As Chloe strolled through the cobbled streets of Spencerville, her tennis ball ever so snug under her paw, she made her way to Lower Golden Gate Gardens, a taste of tranquillity nestled in the heart of the town. Greyhound Grove and Chihuahua Castle standing tall in the background always did add to the charm of those sunset evenings.

One might believe that being unattached came with bouts of loneliness, but not for Chloe. Her joy emanated from her independence. Her own master, a pioneer with the spirit of an explorer, Chloe had no need for spineless walks. An unwavering believer in forging her own path, Chloe would embark on solitary hikes up the mountains that encircled Spencerville, her vibrant eyes soaking in the vast beauty.

Abby and Pebbles? Her furry allies, her confidants. Having traversed life and crossed over together to Spencerville, their connection transcended spoken words. As they united in the shared comfort of Canine Couture Clothing, luxuriating in the sun-drenched grass, tennis ball bouncing at a distance, lectures about love and loyalty seemed redundant. Their bond said it all.

Children and loud noises were territories uncharted for Chloe, almost to the degree of her abhorrence for water. A clean Boston Terrier, Chloe was, all right, but baths? Nah, she’d steer clear. Folks tried enticing her with a dip in the Chihuahua Castle fountain, but Chloe wouldn’t have it. They reckoned that was just the Boston Terrier in her shining through.

But beyond the dislike of baths and noise, beyond the tranquil afternoons at Lower Golden Gate Gardens, beyond all else, lay her propensity for the simple joys of life. Even an occasional ‘PupTizer’ that she’d fetch from the Canine Cafe couldn’t replace her ultimate weakness – a juicy grilled beef rib. All these moments were a reminder of what used to be: Chloe’s source of comfort in their new shared reality, Spencerville.

Chloe, though relishing her new life in Spencerville, has never forgotten from whence she came, or whom she waits for. After all, Spencerville gaits with open arms, giving love and solace, assuring that this isn’t an end, but a pause. So, if you find your heart bereft of some wagging joy, recall Chloe, lost in her thoughts, waiting. And in that wait, you’ll find a spark of comfort, a piece of eternal hope, your tale… and this is mine.

The End.
