Hey Mom, it’s Lulu! Just wrapped up another hilarious day in Spencerville with June – bulldog hijinks and pasta escapades included. That dog’s living la dolce vita, truly! Our city’s never short on smiles or stories with her around. Only in Spencerville, right? Love, Lu.

Listen to the story here

So there I was, googly-eyed on the Northern bridge of Upper Black Bulldog Bay, taking in the hustles of busy paws and wagging tails of Spencerville, against the setting amber sun. Ah, Spencerville, you jumbled town of fun and furry exchanges, you never fail to amaze me.

“June!” I shout out, barely keeping the chuckle out of my voice. And wouldn’t you know it, the curly-coated whispers of devil-may-care English Bulldog greatness herself comes barreling toward me, her bulky body in stark contrast to the nimbleness of her gait. That characteristic orange pull toy, forever the chaperone to her adventures, bouncing ahead of her.

The city sighs behind me, the kisses of sunset burning themselves out into twilight. Ah, the adventures we’ve had in there, sparking curiosity and stories that would fill a dozen memoirs. And June savors every bit of it, her playful spirit wearing the city like a well-fitted sweater.

Reaching me, she halts abruptly, the decision to cease her charge made in an instant, much like her decision to wriggle into Bella’s bed yesterday, much to Bella’s high-pitched indignation. Ah, the joys of shared siblings.

“The Bell’s out for you June!” Warnings fall on deaf ears. Damn, if she isn’t one stubborn pooch. But it’s commendable, really, you know, sticking by her choices.

Only two things can change her course – the dread-filled hum of a vacuum cleaner, which meticulously extracts all her courage, leaving her a mound of trembling fur, and another, the soft pitter-patter of rain against our roof. Given her avoidances, you’d think it’s a comedy skit. But it ain’t, it’s the June Show rolled out real and in colors.

But never mind that now. Fetch-N-Bites beckons us. The restaurant boasts a unique charm with an atmosphere as homely as your grandma’s kitchen, if your grandma was, well, a dog. June trots along, a caractere vivant by herself, pulling me ahead towards today’s special with an anticipatory wag of her tail.

You see, June, a pasta enthusiast of timeless aesthetics, has an appetite for delicious misadventures in Spencerville. Plus, the promise of green beans and potential ice cream gets her drooling faster than you can say “Bone Appetit”. It’s as if she’s on a perpetual culinary exploration, her taste buds never tired. But hey, she ain’t alone there. Me too, June, me too!

We settle for a quaint spot by the window, watching the evening wane. You know, it’s funny, how this blend of love, joy, appetite, fear, and curiosity can dwell in a dog’s heart, a heart pumping passion into every twist and turn of June’s life. But that’s how she is, a furry goddess of her own whimsy, decked out in Canine Couture clothing, perpetually exploring the human-like existence in our crazy town.

As evening shadows crawl over Spencerville, I sit back, savoring the comradely silence with June. She’s an English bulldog living life the Italian way – la dolce vita, the good life. And so, our day ends with comfort food, good company, and a silent agreement that in Spencerville, every day has the potential to root a hearty laugh and tug on a heartstring. Only in Spencerville, under the watchful gaze of the starlit Bulldog Bay, would you get to enjoy the company of the fun-loving June, the pasta-loving bulldog with a heart as vast as her appetite. Only in Spencerville!

The End.
