“Hey Mom & Dad, it’s your trusty Dicki. Found an ancient Time Bone in the park, spent a stint as a Wild West sheriff. Yep, I’m now a time-traveling doggo! Spencerville’s just never been the same…Wuff, what a day! (A polite request from the bulldog: no more cucumbers please). TTYS – Time-traveling-Yappy-Sheriff. Wuff!”

Episodically, yours truly Winston the ever-charming Continental Bulldog am about to spin your tail, ahem… tale. This isn’t your regular dog’s day out in Spencerville, folks. We’re talking about the Chronicles of Winston, or as I like to call it, “The Barktor Who Stories”.

Where was I? Ah, yes. Picture me, Winston, in all my brindle and white glory, bounding around Spencerville. “Ah, there’s no place like Spencerville,” I’d say, with a proud wagging tail, marking my territory around Collie Canyons or snoozing on the sandy shores of Brindle Brown Boxer Beach. I’d lead the pack up at Bark and Bites, where the bacon is crispier than a crisp winter’s day, and finish the day with a frothy Paws-A-Latte – the perfect recipe for a sleep-inducing evening.

It was but another regular day in Spencerville until I happened upon an object that stuck out like a cat at a dog park, sending all my hairs on high alert. It’s…a bone! But not just some bone, it’s an ancient Time Bone. You’re probably wondering, a Time Bone, really? Yes, my friend, a Time Bone, a relic of olden times mandating the cosmic rule of time travel. Quite an upgrade from the old squeaky toy, huh?

With the bone in my mouth, I decided to give it a test run just as fast as I could spit out a slice of cucumber (yes, that fast). Next thing I know, I’m in the Wild West, the desert vast around me. Yikes! You remember my reservations towards desert from the dossier you received about me, don’t you? But no worries, I was quick to adapt.

Bulldogs in cowboy hats, saloons serving beef stew and doggos riding horses! I’ve been promptly declared the new sheriff town, my shiny badge as bright as the pate and cheese bits from Bark and Bites. So here I am, time-traveling like a canine Doctor Who, casually stopping a canine gang from hijacking the local pet salon, The Groom Room.

Before I could let the desert dehydrate me, I rolled back the Bone and it whirled me back to my beloved Spencerville. Let’s just say, things have been pretty rustic these days. Imagine changing history one bone at a time, and allowing Bulldog Bay to serve as a spur-lined backdrop on weekends.

Half Spencerville’s heart, half time-traveling sheriff, and wholly exciting – every dog’s dream, ain’t it? Wuff, what a day! Time for another snooze on my beloved sofa. And between you and me, there’s a lot to be said about forthcoming romps in the dinosaur era, but that, my friend, is a tail…tale for another time.

The End.
