Hey Mom,

Crazy day being the hero in Spencerville! Spun like a top, then led a pet pack to rescue Pomsley from ‘La Furr’s’ paw-prison. Played it cool in Operation Squirrel and snatched victory! No chicken victory feast for me, but lots of tail wags and ear flops. More deets at dinner!

Hugs and head pats,
Lambeau 🐾

You wouldn’t believe the morning I’ve had in Spencerville; it started off as ordinary as chasing my tail. I’d been working on a personal best, managing nearly three and a half spins before toppling over with all the grace of a plump pumpkin tumbling off a hayride. That’s when Spike came darting by, yelling at the top of his little Dachshund lungs, “Lambeau, it’s Pawsley! He’s been dognapped!”

Pawsley, the floofiest Pomeranian you’ve ever laid eyes on, was missing?! Not on my watch. The last time Pawsley went missing, we found him at Whiskers and Wings, trying to order an all-you-can-eat birdseed buffet—a common Pom mistake. I frisked it over to our usual rendezvous, the old oak tree, and buddied up with the gang.

“Okay, team,” I said with all the authority I could muster, despite my goofball reputation, “this is like finding a poo bag that doesn’t stink. Tricky, but not impossible.”

There was Natasha, the swift Siamese with a stealth mode that would make a shadow jealous, and Roscoe, the bulldog who was all brawn and drool. Sure, he wasn’t the sharpest claw on the paw, but he was loyal. And lastly, Spike, the mastermind behind every tennis ball heist in the East Pug Palace.

“So, we sniff out Pawsley, and then what? We’re house pets, not Navy SEALs,” Roscoe grumbled, voicing the wagging doubt in the back of everyone’s mind.

“I have a plan,” Spike asserted, with the confidence of a squirrel in a nut store.

The intel pointed to Chihuahua Castle, where ‘La Furr’, a sleek Persian with an ego the size of a Great Dane, calls the shots. If anyone knew about Pawsley’s whereabouts, it was her.

“Natasha, you’ll infiltrate her court. Roscoe, you’re on distraction. Use your panting—it’s unnervingly loud and effective. And Lambeau, you lead the extraction. Pawsley trusts you,” Spike directed while drawing a crude map on the dirt with his paw.

I nodded, the flutter in my chest wasn’t just from the six—make that seven circles I’d just spun. This was rescue mission levels of adrenaline.

Natasha slipped away like a whisper, while Roscoe and I trotted towards the Castle. Roscoe did his thing, sitting on a guard’s foot and unleashing his signature snore-howl. Pandemonium ensued just as planned. The guards ran in frenetic circles, tripping over their own tails as I seized the moment, dodging in with the precision of a squirrel navigating a bird feeder obstacle course.

And there he was, Pawsley, looking as out of place as celery at a steakhouse. His little eyes lit up, and we executed the most perfectly silent, cinematic escape since that time Spike swiped a whole rotisserie chicken from Fishy Bites during their grand opening.

“It’s roast chicken for everyone tonight!” I exclaimed as we huddled safely away from Chihuahua Castle.

“But not for you, Lambeau. Remember the vet’s orders,” Roscoe teased.

I rolled my eyes, “Fine, fine. No chicken for me—but tales of heroism and stomachs filled with… with anything but celery!”

Back at the sprawling oak tree, Spike framed the scene with all the embellishments of a true Spencerville saga. “And there, my friends, amidst the befuddled guards and the cacophony of Castle life, our fearless team saved the day!”

“Yeah, but Natasha did most of the work,” I interjected, giving credit where credit was due, my tail thumping contentedly against the earth.

We all chuckled, the kind of chuckle that comes easy in a place like Spencerville, where every day is an adventure waiting to happen, and every adventure is best shared with friends. Now that’s a tail-wagging, ear-flopping, heart-warming Spencerville truth.

The End.
