Hey Fam,
You won’t believe this but all paws led us to a peanut butter heist last night! Yours truly was the muscle, outmuscling that ol’ tempting peanut butter-filled cabinet in the Barking Boutique. Tonight we howl glorious victory to the crunchy, cream-filled sky… I’m now proudly Annie ‘The Bulldozer’!
Catch you later, alligator,
Annie the Bulldozer

With Pawsburg as our playground, and drawing upon the wisdom of my girl, Dorothy Parker…sit back, let me begin.

One quiet, moonlit night in Pawsburg, Rosie, dear Rosie, rounded up the gang at Ruff-n-Ready. The plan? ‘Operation Peanut Butter Heist’.

As we all sat huddled together, the news hit me harder than a squeaky toy that’s lost its squeak. Target? The Barking Boutique’s fresh batch of peanut butter. We quickly got down to discussing our roles, each assigned uniquely to our abilities.

“Annie, darling,” Rosie said in that oh-so-dreamy spaniel-nese, “you’re the muscle. We need you to bust open that peanut butter cabinet while the rest of us cover you.”

My mind was a merry-go-round of thoughts, spinning faster than I could chase my tail, but all I managed was a cool, confident grin. “I’ll crack that cabinet before the moon calls it a night,” I promised, puffing out my bulldog chest. I knew this mission was made for me; not for everyone else, mind you, but for me and my unmatched love for the nutty pleasure locked within the Barking Boutique.

As the hushed whispers of our planning faded, we embarked on our mission, The Southern Golden Retriever River reflecting our silhouettes. We ventured towards our prize with the hunger of a pack who hadn’t tasted kibble in days. OUR hunger — it was an army man’s rally cry that resonated louder than any thunder, my otherwise nemesis.

We reached the store under cover of darkness, the Barking Boutique in all its glory. Carl, the swift saluki, was our lookout. Post was White Westie Woods, and Rosie manipulated the ‘Barking’ Alarm system with her characteristic finesse.

Soon, the ultimate moment was upon us. The all-knowing silence of Pawsburg held its breath, waiting for the spectacle that was my role. It was time for this Bulldog to Bulldoze. My heart pounded like a drum as I pressed my body against the peanut butter cabinet. This, the climax of our pet heist, was my moment to shine.

The cabinet gave way under my determined effort, and glory wafts hit me. The aroma — divine, nutty, ambrosial (that’s a word I picked up from Spotty). Pure peanut butter perfection greeted us.

We made our exit as smoothly as we entered. As we crossed Fawn Cream Maltese Meadow, we shared our victory spoils: our creamy gold, savoring it like dogs who had tasted freedom, went back for seconds and thirds.

The sun greeted Pawsburg gently, whispering tales of an unlikely heist. They hailed us, “The Paw-ssadors of Pawsburg, the peanut butter bandits.” But was it bad to be the bandits when peanut butter was at stake? Is it so bad to nibble and risk?

And so ended one fine night in dear Pawsburg. But isn’t that what life is? A string of nights, filled with daring-do, and sometimes a dash of peanut butter. As for this bulldog, well, let’s say every night since has smelled slightly of sweet victory and a good deal of peanut butter.

The End.
