My Dearest Furry, Four-Pawed Readers,

Though I am a chivalrous Great Pyrenees — knighted by decree of Her Royal Highness, the Queen of Canines — I must confess, I was nearly driven to an undignified outburst when I discovered what you’d done.

Yes, you. Digging up my prized garden with reckless abandon… only to unearth the sacred lockbox containing my most private possession: my personal journal.

A lesser dog might have howled to the heavens. But I, Sir Woofington, chose the noble path. I padded quietly to my koi pond, sat with great poise, and practiced deep, cleansing breaths. In… and out… A soothing sigh later, my tail resumed its usual, distinguished wag.

In this tranquil state, I find myself obliged to commend you. Your impeccable nose and paws clearly possess both skill and determination. So, rather than reprimand you, I shall extend a gracious welcome to my countryside manor — and to the inner musings of my previously private pages.

It seems, dear reader, fate has fetched you here. And what a fetching fate it is.

So, with noble heart and polished paws, I now invite you to read these pages — not as a trespasser, but as an honored guest. May they amuse you, stir your thoughts, and warm the very cockles of your canine heart.

With noble regards and a swish of my red spectacles,
Sir Woofington, Fabled Scribe of Canine Tales
