I asked AI to generate a story to go with my business card:
Patches the puppy was beside himself with excitement. Today was the day! Today, he was going to Camp Makka My Tail Wag! His little tail thumped against the floor like a happy drum as his human packed his favorite squeaky toy and a cozy blanket into a small backpack.
The car ride felt like forever to Patches. He pressed his nose against the window, watching the world whiz by in a blur of green and brown. Finally, they arrived. Patches' eyes widened. There was a real tent, just like in his picture books, and the air smelled of pine needles and adventure.
A friendly woman with a big smile greeted them. "Welcome to Camp Makka My Tail Wag, Patches! We're so glad to have you."
Patches wriggled free from his human's arms and bounded towards a group of other dogs already sniffing and playing near the tent. There was a fluffy golden retriever chasing a ball, a tiny chihuahua yapping with delight, and a dignified-looking beagle sniffing every blade of grass.
For the rest of the day, Patches was in a whirlwind of fun. He chased squirrels (though he never quite caught one), splashed in a shallow creek, and learned a new trick – shaking paws – for a tasty training treat. He even made a new best friend, a playful terrier named Rusty, with whom he wrestled and tumbled in the soft grass.
As the sun began to set, casting long shadows across the camp, everyone gathered around a crackling campfire. Stories were told (mostly about silly dog antics), and Patches snuggled close to his human, feeling safe and happy. The warmth of the fire, the gentle murmur of voices, and the contented sighs of the other dogs created a feeling of cozy togetherness.
Later, tucked into his blanket inside the tent with his human, Patches let out a long, happy sigh. His paws were tired, his nose was full of wonderful smells, and his heart was full of joy. Camp Makka My Tail Wag was even better than he had imagined. He drifted off to sleep, dreaming of more adventures and wagging tails, already counting down the moments until he could come back again. This was definitely the best day a little spotted puppy could ask for.
