Report to the Agency: M3 meets Lily Tzu.

Report to the Agency: M3 meets Lily Tzu.
A note was slipped to me in a dog biscuit by a charming lady we met while I was walking my humans. The lady was coming out of a bank, and stopped to make a fuss over me and pet me. Fortunately my humans did not think it odd that she would be carrying dog biscuits and yet not be walking a dog.
I tucked the biscuit away in the cheek of my mouth, and waited until we got home to spit it out and decipher what had been scratched on it. All it said was. “Lily Tzu.”
I didn’t know what to make of the message. Was it the name of the biscuit maker company? Was it something that needed to be translated? Was it somebody’s name? I decided to chew on the problem for a while.
In the end I decided to take the puzzle to James Hound, Agent K9, down the street. As usual I found him on his front porch, this time reading a copy of Backyard Association of Retired K9s (BARK) magazine. I asked him what he thought “Lily Tzu” meant, and what he thought I should do next.
He looked at me for a long time with a rather pitying look before turning his head toward the house and calling out. “Hey Lily! Some kid to see you!” Then he snorted impatiently and turned the page of the magazine, muttering something about amateurs.
The door behind him opened and a diminutive Pekinese stepped silently out on the porch. “Yes?” she said. “I’m Lily Tzu. How may I be of service?”
I looked with amazement at the tiny creature. Lily Tzu Looked more like a long-haired footstool than a dog, and was certainly not the kind of dog I would have expected James Hound to live with.
I explained about the lady at the bank and the biscuit, and confessed I was at a complete loss to explain why Lily’s name would be on a biscuit that was given to me by a complete stranger.
“Ah,” she said with a soft smile – at least I think it was a smile; it was hard to tell through all that hair - “I have been expecting you, young scratcher.”
I sat down on the step of the porch and waited – I was obviously about to learn something interesting.
Yours
M3.

The Great Lily Tzu
