Baxter PawWord Story
Hey there, partners! š¾ It’s your favorite one-eyed rascal, Baxter, AKA Little Man! I’ve been on an island adventure, braved grizzlies, and come face-to-face with my fears (still not talking about broccoli, though!). Now, as we drift home, tickled by the scent of Fur Tacos, I reckon we’re the ‘seriousest’ adventurers Pawsburg’s ever seen! š
Sure as sunup, I ain’t never seen a critter as peculiar as Baxter. That one-eyed scamp hailed from Pawsburg, a place where pups would skedaddle to when their folks weren’t lookin’. The first time I laid eyes on Baxter, he was standin’ tall, well, as tall as a Chihuahua can, in Westie Woods, his black and white coat gleamin’ like polished onyx and quartz.
Don’t let his missing eye fool ya, though; it don’t dull his adventurous spirit. Owned a spirit pluckier than a hen protectin’ its chicks, he did. Though he sure favored one particular hen, his mom, more than all the chickens in the coop. Had a bond stronger than an old houndās jaw with a bone, them two.
You’d usually find Baxter happily sunbathin’ or hankerin’ after a car ride, all the while protectin’ his precious lamb chop toy. But it was the allure of chicken that’d really get him a’waggin. I don’t know if Baxter had ever seen the Doggy Delight in Pawsburg; the aroma of smokinā chicken would drive the little feller half crazy with hunger.
Not that everything was peaches for my ol’friend. Why, he considered the vacuum cleaner a plastic dragon, spewin’ out nothin’ but thunder and fury. Say āvacuumā nā heād hightail out of the room fasterān a bald squirrel in a catās den. Snow and rain cast a pall over his sunny disposition, and bein’ isolated was as bad as bein’ hounded by a tail-pullin’ toddler.
Now, on this particular day, I was accompanyin’ Baxter and a motley crew of his pals down by Poodle Pond. Suddenly, we found ourselves swept away by a swell of water, stranding us on an island in the middle of nowhere.
Well, life on an island weren’t exactly a picnic for Baxter and me. But we pushed through, huntin’ for grub that didnāt involve broccoli – a sworn enemy of my Chihuahua friend. “No broccoli, no siree,” he seemed to say to every green sprout that dared cross our path.
We built us a shelter with what we could gather, and the poodle pond? Ain’t no way Baxter was goin’ near that treacherous water. But we had more troubles than we had fleas, even had to stand up to a grizzly bear who fancied the same rabbit we’d set our sights on.
Then, across the horrid expanse of water, we spotted a familiar sight. It was the Fur Tacos stand, back home in Pawsburg! A metal raft washed up on the shoreline not long after; we boarded it, paw in paw. As we drifted back towards Pawsburg, with hope in our hearts and the scent of tacos in our noses, I glanced back at the island we’d survived, me an’ that one-eyed scamp named Baxter.
As Baxter would say, “We are the seriousest adventurers, ain’t we, partner?ā
The End.
