Wayne, I had three hundred million laughs reading this wonderful tale. It made me reflect on family gatherings around a campfire and the old wise ones would start to tell a tale that would go on and on tot he delight of us children in with rapt attention to the next words. Kudos for a great entry!

Such a hoot. A really hilarious, over-the-top tale. With only 3 of you in the comp and 2 of equal hilarity, I wish I could cut my vote in two. You both deserve to win. Worry, worry, worry...

OMG! If this isn't the saddest, funniest story I've read this year. Okay, so they sold the car and refinanced the cottage. After all, it's fiction. But when, "We hocked our wedding rings," I couldn't stop laughing. Then, Dinah warmed the cat's food for their meal. By then I'm laughing and thinking, they deserved all this. Quite an entertaining story. Best wishes in the contest.

This is an absolute adorable entry it almost broke us contest. Who would of thought of a possum named Juicy Fruit! lol You used very good descriptive and loving words about and for Juicy Fruit. It reminded me of the possum that ate one of our favorite chickens that was alive! The chicken's name was Molly. We still have her sister Polly. Best wishes in the contest. Blessings, Teri

HAHAHAHA. Now I see why no one else is joining this contest. I wish I would have read this before I wasted my money entering. What a great story, Wayne. I laughed my ass off. From the full skeletal bone replacement to 300 kajillion to the bosom weeping, stitches, medicinal whiskey, spare tire weight and the poor demise of your loving little rodent. Hahaha. I seriously doubt I'll even bother with what I was going with and just let you have it. I don't want to lose with a vote count of 38 to 0. Lol.

I can't see any issues with spelling, grammar, punctuation, any of that. Great piece, Wayne. Thanks for the belly laughs, friend.

Ron

    Hah! Thanks, but It's kinda like drawing a royal flush (not to be tootin' my own horn, but...) and not having anyone build up the pot, just winning back your ante.
    I really thought this one would catch a lot of flak for the jab I was taking at pet owners who spend 'kajillions' on chemo treatments for animals I would put down with a 5 cent ... well anyway.
    Thank you for your fabulous review AND for the six stars!

    Oh yeah, poke fun at pet owners on here and you're going down hard. Lol. That's never stopped me though. Ha. Best of luck, Wayne. I'm going to go ahead and enter my dumb idea anyhow. I'm sure they'll hate it but who cares?

    Here's a little advice if you didn't know. When you know you have a killer entry that will most likely win, hold onto it until the contest gets more takers. Don't shoot yourself in the foot. Lol.

    Too late on this one, but like I said, I figured to get hammered.

    I would have votyed for yours but for my vow to make Juicy Fruit's death mean something, you know, that honoring her thing. That's all that prevented me from handing you the prize. Oh, besides the fact that you totally humiliated me. I'll never be able to review-for-dollars again!

    Hey, Wayne, hi. Yeah, I can't believe the dumb thing I wrote did as well as it did. Lol. The one thing I don't know is why we managed to tie with 13 each but it says you won the contests. I figured we'd split the prize pool seeing as how we both tied but I guess the site likes you better. Lol. I didn't get anything. Not even a mention of a tie on the voting booth page. I don't get it. Who knows what FS magic lurks about but it apparently doesn't like me. Hahaha. Have a good one, friend. Congrats on the win.

This is a cute story. I think you have all or most of the FanStory elements to tug on those old heartstrings. The writing is also fine, I did not spot anything that needed improvement.

Smart story. Good luck in the voting. This should do very well.

    It's all about the audience. Although I did expect to irritate those who spend fortunes on cancer treatments.
    Thank you for your fine review.

This was very amusing, especially since you picked the least attractive animal with some of the nastiest claws on Earth. The doctor certainly enjoyed your devotion to Juicy. Could he have named his boat after her?

As much as I love animals this story cracked me up. The part about the possum pet should have alerted me this wasn't a serious story except that my kids brought four baby possums home for pets. Feeding them nothing but meat did a number on their skeletons as well. First of all, you paying for Kajillions for a skeletal transplant is hilarious. I'm sure donor possums with just the perfect skeletal size must happen often.. I loved that your possum eats fried chicken while your family survives on warmed over dog food and the doctor can afford a boat . This one had a laugh in ever line but I'll bet there will be reviewers who take you seriously.

Poor ole juicy-fruit met her Waterloo.
After all that let's just say she gave up the ghost case kids are reading,it's hard enough already hearing the crying for juicy- fruit and losing all the money spent to try to save your poor pet.
