Home - From the Paths of Hidden Wonders

We've been gone a long time. We're back now... 

             

When the warrior Big Omar came to visit, we had a chance to pow wow before he was called back to the enforcement agency he works for, called THARR. He's my uncle, and I'm named after him. We look alike, but he's much bigger. 

Big Omar told me about a place to visit with my pack, called Land of Lights and Colors. I had decided before he finished telling me about it. 

My early news was met with hoots, howls, and restless energy. We left soon after.

            

We traveled a long way, no hurry. We stayed sharp. Every rustle in the brush, every shift in the wind, kept us alert as we moved fearless but respectful through known predators' territories.

Then one morning, after the entire pack had mysteriously drifted into a deep, spellbound sleep, we awoke to find ourselves in the very place we had been seeking.

The surrounding forest blazed in shades of deep red. Pretty shrubs blanketed the ground, each leaf tipped with a soft glow. Most amazing was how we dogs shimmered beneath the towering trees, our bodies casting gentle lights. 

We perused the area thoroughly. Then I gathered a few scouts and set out.

In no time, we reached an area where several forests existed side by side, yet no two looked or smelled alike. We returned to the others, so we could share these wonders together.

We spent lots of time exploring, before deciding it was time to head home.

Allowed more freedom than usual during this fun filled trek—though still watched with careful eyes—the spirited puppies wailed in protest as they were gathered in the familiar way.

The journey home was filled with the excitement of what we had experienced. 

We won’t go back to the mysterious Land of Lights and Colors. It’s a realm meant to be touched only once, leaving its magic to glow in memory.  That's okay, as long as we can savor the memories at K-9 Town, where every memory feels like a part of an endless tale.

Come back soon.

Omar

Thanksgiving... What about it

I was waiting for Babee.  He hadn't visited K-9 Town in a while. Me and the pack, especially his young friends, miss him a lot when he stays away too long.

Funniest thing. Ma told me Babee brought home his newest best friend, to share Thanksgiving leftovers with him.

He still has no idea why Ma shooed his friend away. She told him it was for its own good. Your brother will explain, she told him, then she contacted me.

I was supposed to explain Thanksgiving, but when he arrived, he was surrounded by the females. Nothing happens until they do their well-being inspections, which includes lots of hugs and smooches.

Major Diggs, Wolf Bennie Ba and I snickered as we watched Babee's young buddies, keeping their distance, not wanting to be called upon next, regarding a recent scratch or troublesome bruise the females had discovered. 

When it was over, I decided he'd been through enough. I yelled over to him, "Go play with your friends. I'll catch up with you later."

 Off he went, joined by his young wilderness family. Looking for mischief to get into.

The Thanksgiving talk could wait another year. Somehow, I know Ma agrees. 

Omar

Ma had a dream

Ma's been dreamin' again. She says we are all products of her fantastic, wonderful dreams. We don't understand, but if Ma says it, its okay with us.

                     

"Distant" Kin

Ma says we've been on something called, hiatus. She cut it short, saying we were getting too wild without her checking on us. 

Anyway, during hiatus, she had an unexpected visitor. He's my "distant" kin. In more ways than one. I didn't understand until he came to see me. His name is Omar too, and he looks just like me but he's a lot bigger and stronger.

He's a warrior, and has a partner called The Bee. 

He told me how we're originally from a planet called Emek and we're all warriors. That's why I act the way I do sometimes. He and The Bee are cosmic peacekeepers. They work for an agency called THARR.

Of course, Ma knows all about this. Big Omar told me she'll be sharing some stuff about him and The Bee very soon. He wanted to meet my pack, but something urgent happened and he had to leave.

COMING SOON!

Bennie Ba shares a secret

Major Diggs, Bennie and me, were strolling along, enjoying our home and beyond, when Bennie Ba stopped suddenly, and announced, "I gotta go, and I'll be gone for a while."  

I looked over at him, then responded before Major Diggs had a chance. We had been waiting for Bennie to let it out. He'd been pouting for days, which is unlike him. We knew if we got him alone, he would spill whatever was ailing him.

"What's up Bennie? Where you goin'," I asked him. 

"You in some kind of trouble? ... You know we handle that stuff together," Diggs barked.

"Calm down, it ain't nothing like that." Bennie squealed. "I got a family up in the mountains. I'm gonna bring 'em down. 

Her name is Glory. And I got two puppy sons. It's a long way. I've been waitin' for the pups to get some size on 'em.

Glory was afraid the females wouldn't take to her. I convinced her they would, after tellin' her some about them ... I'd better get started."

"You ain't going alone," I told him. "I'm going with you."

"Me too!" Diggs added. "You got too many enemies between here and there, to be toting a family alone, Bennie." 

"Let's go get the pack settled," I said. "Brady and Sammy will watch for trouble while we're gone." 

***

It took days, but we didn't care. Bennie's excitement spilled over. When we got close, Bennie began to howl.

Soon a dark figure showed herself, trailing two cute little pups. Glory stared hesitantly at Diggs and me, then her snout drew back in a smile. She turned her attention to Bennie, who was taking it all in.

When we arrived home, the females barely waited for us to introduce Bennie's family. They welcomed them with kind hearts, excited yapping and physical inspections - always ready to apply whatever care "they" deem necessary.

Glory was happy. K-9 Town was all Bennie said it would be. 

The puppies wasted no time swooping their new friends up. Afterall, they had been waiting too. When last seen they were scurrying towards one of their not-so-hidden hideouts.

As for Bennie ... He couldn't stop smiling, even with all the teasin' we put him through.

I can't wait to tell Ma all this. Then again, she seems to know stuff before it happens.

I always wonder about that.

Christmas at K-9 Town - 2024

Christmas at K-9 Town was great. The puppies had a ball and us Elders and Santa had our late night celebration.

Pitbulls Sammy and Margie surprised us with a visit from a family member. Jasper. He spent Christmas with us. He wouldn't stay afterwards. Said he liked it here very much but had to get back home to his beloved human family. That's fine. He knows he's always welcome here.

The females wanted to do some nurturing, but me and the males convinced them to let Jasper go have fun.

Babee Blue and some of his friends were waiting for him. Babee explained that their job was to get the puppies too tired and sleepy to bother Santa while he was delivering their presents. The puppies love pouncing and rough-housing so it's a lot of fun. They were vowing to catch Santa this year and play with him... after they collected all of their presents, of course.

I left to go help Santa. I do every year. We finished delivering toys to all the boys and girls, then headed to K-9 Town.

Santa was energy packed and ready to get the party started. Our jolly friend danced the night away. "Droppin' it like it was hot." Here he is, but that's all I'm showin' because, "What happens at our Christmas Parties, stays at our Christmas Parties."

Anyway, Santa stayed until the wee hours, then he left with the sounds of Lufa the Bloodhound's sweet Christmas melodies guiding his way.

Goodbye, Santa... Until next time.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE

Meet Ms. Daisy

We're as happy as can be. A friend of ours has come to visit K-9 Town.

Ms. Daisy is getting up in age. She's not quite ready to come for good, but she knows she's welcome to come stay whenever she's ready.

Look at how the females have takin' to her. Always ready to nurture. They'll have plenty of time because she'll be here for Christmas.

Whadaya mean, finders keepers, Dirty Sam

 

From those you've loved and lost

Our lifespans are inevitable. Can’t be prevented or avoided. But is it the end, or another segment of existence?

A phase filled with exciting, mysterious adventures. Where large and small, we rove together, with amazing energies and surprising abilities.

Bear thoughts of this place… smile… knowing that our lives are never-ending.

Love from K-9 Town

What happened to Zilly Boo

When we followed the puppies down into Demons' Tunnel on Halloween, we expected to see my old friend Zilly Boo and her boyfriend A-Boo. They weren't down there. 

Ma sent me a message later that night...

"Helpppp!  

Zilly Boo dropped by. A-Boo is with her. They said they wanted to do something different this Halloween.

I invited them in... Now they won't leave!"

Halloween and the Fearless Puppies

We were waitin' for the puppies to get far enough ahead before we set off after them. 

They were yapping tough stuff when they left. We weren't supposed to hear...

There’s talk about bad monsters

And creatures down below

We don’t care, we’re goin' there

Won't let the Elders know.

When they got to the Demons' Tunnel they scampered in without hesitation. But after a short distance, they slowed. Far-be-it for courageous K-9 Town pups to admit fear, until clattering sounds rang from above and the walls began closing in. 

Quivering bodies and low yelps seized fearlessness as darkness devoured light. The tormented puppies turned to leave the horrifying hideaway... but... the opening had vanished.

The pups gathered close. Changing direction, they ran as fast as their little legs let them. Fears escalating, the squealing pups stumbled through darkness. Deeper into the unknown...

"Don't look at them," Crocker Joe woofed out loud, as they came upon hideous ghosts, goblins, and other deformed creatures.

__

Meanwhile, me and some others set out to see how the pups were enjoying their night out without us. We're on friendly terms with the underground dwellers. No harm would come to our raw intruders.

The teeny pawprints made trailing easy.

"Looks like they picked up speed here," Bloodhound Lufa ruffed when we came upon a body of ghosts.

"Right you are, shrieked the closest apparition. "We followed them aways, then let 'em be."

Despite the puppies surely having second thoughts about their night out, the snickering among us was unanimous as we moved on. 

A huge devil's helper's account was close to the others.

"They were here. Right where you are, stood like they were planted there, then took off so fast I couldn't catch 'em if I tried... so I didn't."

Those tots were having a fine, harrowing Halloween. They were approaching the end of their adventure so we vacated the scene and found a secluded spot to wait for them. 

Meanwhile, during the scariest time of their short-lived lives, exhaustion sat in. They were about to surrender when there was an ear-splitting thunderous noise. A bright beam of light formed a path, leading to the end of the tunnel. 

 They ran faster than ever towards it, then out of the terrifying cavern. 

 

Later, nestled in their cozy safe den, laid back, giving thought, we heard... "Maybe we shouldn’t have run from them. We should have stayed and fought.

Too bad we didn’t think of that

They decided with heavy eyes

Next time we look for Halloween

We’ll catch 'em by surprise."

We watched as they snuggled close to each other, tossing away their fright. Soon the excited yapping became soft sounds of contentment. 

Happy Halloween

from Omar Blue and the K-9 Town Pack

The Big Surprise

 Hi everyone.

Things had been pretty quiet here for a while. Then, one day I was doing my usual, you know, walking around enjoying how great K-9 Town is, when something came over me.

It was a weird feeling, but I knew what it was right away.

I'm gonna let Ma explain it 'cause she always does it better.

As a matter of fact, I'm gonna round up the pack and head over to our YouTube channel. She's tellin' it over there... Come along.

Ode to Omar Blue

It's not easy being the leader of K-9 Town, but Omar Blue thinks nothing of the challenges brought about by the wilderness they've selected to call home. Going beyond the call of duty never outweighs the bonds created through friendships and loyalties of his pack.

He wouldn't have it any other way...

The Pack Leader’s Task

 

Omar never mentions

the trails he walks alone

to shield his beloved K-9 Town

from obstacles unknown.

 

Sometimes he walks for hours

sometimes he’s gone all day

to see what threats await his pack

to handle them his way.

 

He calls his trekking, thoughtful strolls

that’s only partially true

he’s seeking signs of danger

if only the others knew.

 

His pack would rally at his side

rain, sleet, sun, or snow

but he shall never tell them

and they shall never know.

Some of the pack went out to get a look at our story. Thanks, all of you, who have taken us into your homes. 

It's a mystifying place we have here. Love sharin' it with you.
