“Hey Mom & Dad, Vincent here! Picture me stretching out on the dewy Meadow, then feasting on a fish bagel & playing with my toy pickle. Managed some wellness center chill before a stormy cloud crashed my mood. Ended my day strolling, munching on bones at Fetch! & saying goodnight to sis. A typical day in Vincentville. Sweet dreams, love, your Buddha Bear!”

Listen to the story here

Quentin, the quick-witted Dachshund of Spencerville, here. Figured I’d dish out a magnified paw portrait of a day in the life of our buddy, the gentle giant himself, Vincent.

So, the sun’s done made her cheery debut o’er the Boxer Beach horizon. That sly ol’ rooster announces daybreak, as is his official showbiz job in Spencerville. Vincent rouses himself, stretching out his hulking form in the soft grass of Cream Maltese Meadow. There’s dew on his white-and-black patchwork coat as if he’s been sprinkled with a touch of stardust. You’d think he hypnotized the meadow into saving the best morning dew just for him. Probably did.

Chow time finds him at The Doggy Bagel Deli. It ain’t a classic Western steakhouse, but Vincent ain’t your classic Spencerville cowboy. The big guy’s more into the aquatic catch. Orders himself a fish-filled bagel every morn, makes sure it lacks any meat. There’s a mystique to his dietary peculiarities, and who’re we to question it? Not this fellow, no-sir-ee.

Now, despite his imposing stature, Vincent’s got himself a toy pickle. Course, it ain’t kosher dill, but it’s a pickle nonetheless. He goes to town with that contraption like a Gunslinger on a loop. That pickle is his secret source of youthful exuberance.

Between his play sessions and seemingly random rampages on innocent flour bags and pasta, he’s got time for a quick jaunt at the Woof and Whisker Wellness Center. He saunters in after a hefty frolic at the Lower Dalmatian Desert, choosing it over crowded beaches any day. ‘Course, then the clouds start to grumble, and Vincent ain’t a fan of the rain. Big softie, if you ask this wiener dog.

Right before nightfall, he takes himself a solitude stroll around the town, visiting all the joy spots. Ends his tour at Fetch! Toys and Treats, where he hankers down for the night, enjoying his beloved dental bone.

His sister, Princess Victoria, bids him goodnight from the neighboring Dog-gone Good BBQ, promising tomorrow’s escapade. Underneath the starry Spencerville sky, Vincent’s story is just cherry blossom bloomin’. It’s full of just the right kind of absurdities and hilarities, much like his mischievous favorite pastime. And, somehow, his goofball personality just fits right into the sand-strewn, sunset-painted terrain of our beloved Spencerville.

Ah, Spencerville, more like one doggone, fish-loving, rain-hating, flour-destroying, pickle-cherishing, desert-trekking, beach-avoiding, sneaky utopia known as Vincentville!

The End.
