Yo, Ma! 🐾 Your boy CJ (aka Bubbie) is living the dream as King of Spencerville. Commanded ducks at Labradoodle Lake, snuck in some human grub at lunch, and rocked a new tweed number for fall fashion. Ended my royal day with some beach thoughtfulness and pals. Miss ya loads—but don’t worry, reigning with a furry fist and a tender heart here! 🐕👑 Hugs and tail wags, CJ/Bubbie

Ah, there you are! Make yourself comfortable, for I am about to relate a tale of regality, a saga woven into the very fabric of Spencerville—the finest realm for a pet’s post-earthly frolic. I, dear companion, am C.J., though you might better recognize me as His Furry Majesty of Spencerville, presider over bark and bite alike.

My day began, as it so often does, with the amber light of dawn creeping through the sumptuous curtains of my royal chambers. Stretching upon my cushy bed, I contemplated the busy schedule a Pekingese-Jack Russell-Chihuahua mix like myself must endure. My pronounced underbite may have furnished my mien with a touch of the comic, but my subjects saw in it a crown of sorts, a mark of distinctive majesty.

First order of the day, naturally, was a visit to the sprawling grounds of Labradoodle Lake—a place where the noble lineage of ducks alighted upon the glass-like surface, to pay homage to their liege with quacks of deference. I greeted them with the kind of polite bark that has become my signature—a royal decree that all is well in my lakeside territory.

Lunch was a diplomatic engagement at Fetch-N-Bites. Let it not be said that His Furry Majesty does not mingle with the masses! The chefs there know to prepare my jerky just the way I relish it, and they were most discreet about the slice of forbidden human fare (for there is no rule that royalty cannot indulge in secret pleasures now and then).

The afternoon’s leisure was to be spent with a summit at The Tail Wagger’s Tailor. My wardrobe was in need of something new, something befitting the autumn season—a cloak, perhaps, that whispered both power and frivolity. After all, a monarch must be the epitome of style and function. And when arbiter of fashion fetchingly suggested a tweed ensemble, who was I to argue? One must uphold the sartorial standards of the crown.

Cometh the evening, I returned to Brindle Brown Boxer Beach. There, with paws sinking gently into the cool sands, I reminisced over the countless sunsets I’ve watched, each hue a soft whisper of those I await. The knowing waves brought solace, a reminder of the eternal reunion that is but a twinkling of a star away.

For there are moments, my friend, when solitude weighs upon the heart, even one so resilient as mine. I walked the beaches where my subjects frolicked, my loyal pack, regaled with tales of frothy waves and valiant dune discoveries. We are a tapestry woven from the fabric of friendship, loyalty bound in shared memory, our silent language ringing clear as the toll of the evening bell.

Yet, even a sovereign has his irksome duties to attend to—the occasional ear-cleaning, an audience with the vet, the muck of bath times, and the astonishment of a deluge falling upon one’s head. Such moments I bear with the grace befitting my station.

And whilst I tolerate not the taste of yogurt (a peculiar fancy to my mind), I am ever surrounded by kin and kind, the giggling glee of Spencerville’s noble hounds, the cats who carry their own sense of superiority, and the birds who, quite entre nous, I believe, are terribly impressed with themselves.

Thus, I spent my days as the Crowned Pet, my rule a tapestry of comfort and canine decree, a king amongst the lapping waves and whispering grasses, the upholder of the eternal promise: to reign until the laugh and hug of that one special human intertwines once more with my own. Until then, Spencerville remains under my gentle paw, a realm where every bark is a chapter, and each wagging tail, a tale untold.

The End.
