In a tale of suburban woes, Lucky, the beloved retriever of the Applewood Plaza community, found himself in a lather of frustration today. The source of his dismay? None other than his neighbour-but-one, Lakeview Animal Hospital, putting a damper on his anticipated spa day at Pet Valu Self-Serve Dog Wash.
The $12 unlimited shampoo offer at Pet Valu had promised Lucky a day of pampering, but alas, the proximity of Lakeview Animal Hospital cast a shadow over his plans. According to Lucky's owner, Mrs. Johnson, the imposing presence of the hospital seemed to unnerve Lucky, leaving him unable to fully revel in the glory of his anticipated grooming session.
"It's just heartbreaking," Mrs. Johnson lamented, as Lucky peered longingly towards the neighbouring establishment. "He loves his baths, but with the hospital right there, he's too distracted to enjoy himself."
Despite Lucky's valiant efforts to shake off his unease, the looming presence of Lakeview Animal Hospital proved insurmountable. Pet Valu staff reported that Lucky's bath time was marred by frequent pauses and anxious glances towards the neighbouring building, preventing him from fully embracing the relaxation he so deserved.
As Lucky's plight gains attention in the community, residents of Applewood Plaza are left pondering the curious case of their canine companion's bath time blues. Will Lucky ever be able to enjoy the full glory of a $12, unlimited shampoo at Pet Valu Self-Serve Dog Wash? Only time will tell.

G Papa Tango, please write a first-person account by a pet dog as it journeys on leash to the local pet store, admires the wares, then enjoys a lathery shower.
Today was the best day ever! My human put me on a leash and we went for a walk. I could tell something special was happening because we didn’t take our usual route to the park. Instead, we went to the pet store!
As we approached, I could already smell all the wonderful scents—treats, toys, and all kinds of interesting things. My tail wagged so fast, I thought it might fall off! We walked through the automatic doors and it was like stepping into paradise.
The first thing I saw were rows and rows of toys. There were squeaky balls, plush animals, and chewy bones in every color and size. I really wanted to grab one, but my human told me to wait. So, I sniffed around, taking in all the amazing smells. I met a couple of other dogs who were shopping with their humans too. We exchanged sniffs and tail wags, and it was so much fun!
Then we moved on to the treat aisle. Oh boy, the treat aisle! There were biscuits, jerky, and even gourmet cookies shaped like little bones. My human picked out a few bags and I couldn’t wait to get home and try them. I even got a special treat right there in the store, and it was delicious!
But the best part was yet to come. My human led me to the back of the store where they have a special place for doggy baths. I’ll admit, I wasn’t too sure about this part at first. Baths aren’t always my favorite, but once we got started, it wasn’t so bad. The water was warm and felt really nice. My human lathered me up with some sweet-smelling shampoo and gave me a gentle scrub. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the massage. It was like a spa day for dogs!
After the bath, I got to shake off all the water (which made my human laugh), and then they dried me off with a big, fluffy towel. I felt so clean and fresh! I even got another treat for being such a good boy during the bath.
On our way home, I walked with a little extra bounce in my step. I was clean, happy, and had a bag full of new treats and toys waiting for me. I love trips to the pet store—they’re the best! Can’t wait to go back again soon.
