“Hey there, it’s Fuli! Another day in Pawsburg exploring and chasing frisbees in Golden Gate Gardens, savoring the ever-so-awesome grilled chicken at Bone Appetit (let’s not discuss the carrots), and solving the scarecrow mystery at Greyhound Grove. PS: Brunch is always incomplete without chicken. Let’s keep this between us, okay? Yours in furry frivolity, Frisbee Fuli.”

Picture this if you will – sun still hiding behind Pawsburg, an aura of curiosity marinates in the morning air. Even with my eyes barely open, I could see a silhouette of nails tapping the wooden floor. No need for a second guess, it was Fuli. She would be missing her morning rendezvous with the Sun God if I didn’t move right then. So, there we were in our shared sanctuary, Golden Gate Gardens, she with her cherished frisbee and me trailing behind. Stumbling over a stray root, I muttered, “Pawsburg, how you continue to reveal your hidden gems.”

It was a morning like any other. Fuli, Lulu, and Bolt were together as always, a snapshot of pure delight. The trio always reminded me of our mop brigade at the precinct. Each having their distinct quirk, but together, they brought life to the dullest crime scenes. I’ve seen my share of their spontaneous role-playing, you’d never spot the difference.

With Fuli leading the pack, they decided to make their move on their favorite brunch spot – The Bone Appetit. A full course, buckets of the bestselling grilled chicken, even Fuli’s airs couldn’t resist a plate. “Chicken, oh, you glorious bird. The donor of happiness for our furry officer,” I mused. And then I saw it – the server adding a side of steamed carrots. Oh my, my. Chicken might as well have been the Locker Room, and carrots, the unwanted new recruit. Let me tell you – the sight of Fuli’s scrunched nose replicated only when Detective Peralta entered the precinct with his ‘Chow Mein Special’.

Post brunch, Pawsburg was bustling; the shops were brimming with fervor, customers hustling to make their pick – a maracas from The Woofty Bakery, or a custom collar from The Pooch Playhouse? To halt this explosion of excitement, there appeared on the scene some semblance of a scarecrow at the center of Greyhound Grove. Did a loothound find an ancient idol? Was there a moment of chaos in the Pooch Paradise? I strained as Fuli ventured into the crowd, leapt up and fetched an object from the scarecrow. Much anticlimax and laughter ensued as the ‘scarecrow’ was simply a misplaced statue from ‘Howling Husky Hardware Store’. Lasting, though, was the image of our nimble officer taking off, frisbee in sight.

Returning home, I looked at Fuli, her energy, unabated, an aura of carefree joy in her eyes. “Pawsburg, you have one helluva officer in Fuli,” I chuckled, matching her toothy grin with mine. And so, Fuli was not just any dog. She was frivolity epitomized in furry form, a beacon of amusement in the sunny city of Pawsburg.

The End.
