Jersey Family · Arizona Territory
Woke up this morning. Got yourself a pug. Born to the family back in Jersey — now he runs the whole operation out of Arizona. The dog park, the kitchen, the diner booth. Forget about it.

Every boss needs a place to think. Pawlie takes the early tide alone — no phone, no crew, just the gulls and the long memory of North Jersey.

The cigar wasn't lit. It didn't need to be. Pawlie stood outside the café and waited for the other party to understand the arrangement. They understood.

Pawlie arrives late, as a boss does. A golden retriever questioned the seating arrangement. The matter was settled over a shared stick. No further problems.

Named for Paulie Walnuts — the sharpest dresser the family ever produced — Pawlie the Pug carries the name with honor. Jersey blood, every ounce of it. He doesn't ask twice. He has opinions about gabagool. He guards the couch like it's a waste-management territory dispute. Snores like a made man at a long lunch.
These days he runs the family business out of Arizona. The feds offered him witness protection — new name, quiet life, a little place in the suburbs. Pawlie looked at them. "With this face? Fuhgeddaboudit." You don't hide a mug like that in the desert. You let it run the whole operation.
This is his world. We just live in it.
