Hey Mom and Dad, so here’s a wild tale – Last night, alien dogs landed in Pawsburg. No panic, though, because our very own Normiekins turned into a plucky diplomat, communicating peace via a game of cosmic fetch. Turned out, all play and no growl made the aliens fly away, leaving their high-tech glowy ball behind. So Norman, the roly-poly food critic now has a new title: Alien-unifying Fetch-Champion! Miss you both, woof in soon! – Norman the Terrier-Beagle mix.

Well, you know our pal Norman, right? The brilliant Terrier-Beagle blend with the jet-black fur and eyes shining like interrogation lamps, or something jazzier, like cherry lollipops – yeah, that’s him. Anyway, one night in Pawsburg, where the dogs go to let their fur down, Norman was embroiled in the adventure of his life.

It began at an eve at Paws-A-Latte, where Norman was indulging in a grand feast, gorging on a ham sandwich with a dash of cheese. But patrons of the Doggy Bagel Deli had noticed something unusual in the sky. Not one to shy away from excitement, brave Norman rushed outdoors.

Giant saucers zoomed above Northern Choco Chihuahua Castle. Alien beings descended, fur an unpleasant shade of neon lit by their ships’ glow. Now, you’d think Norman would turn tail and run, but diving into a dumpster or scrambling down Bulldog Bay just ain’t our Norman’s style.

Stubborn fellow, charged right up to the alien doggies, barked messages of peace. I mean, he was a known chatterbox, even if it was mostly just demanding cookies and shunning salads. The extraterrestrials, bless their hearts, didn’t speak Boston-Beagle but they did understand the universal language of fetch.

One of ‘em shot a high-tech variant of Norman’s favorite orange ball from a hat that looked like it was bought at Fetch! Toys and Treats – only it glowed brighter and bounced higher. You should’ve seen our little food critic chase that ball, tail wagging faster than a puppy on a sugar rush.

Word got around Pawsburg. Folks left The Doggie Daycare, even the fashionable canines at The Tail Wagger’s Tailor joined us. The sight of Norman darting between doggie spaceships, chasing a glowing ball, it was equal parts hilarious and heartwarming. He was unifying Pawsburg and the Alien doggies in the oddest game of fetch, right there on Silver Siberian Summit.

Eventually, the visitors tossed the ball back to Norman as a parting gift. The aliens boarded their ships and vanished as sudden as they came. The entire town breathed out in relief. It was back to sun-bathing and car rides for Norman, till the next big event, but for that night, our alien-fearing, invadee canines slept as soundly as puppies.

Moral of the story? Give a dog his bone…or an alien a rubber ball, or Norman a chunk of cheese, and you’ve made a friend for life. That night, Norman became not only Pawsburg’s resident food critic but also its first Extra-Terrestrial Diplomat. Well, only Norman could have pulled off something so paw-satively eccentric!

The End.
