Sounds like this dog is hurrying out to see a girl friend and his owner
is trying to keep him back. This is a cute short story.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing

LOL. Congratulations on your win with your amusing little story. "Walter", huh? Clever name for the pooch. Who would guess the closing?!! Adorable and very witty.

This is so cute, with its surprise ending. I envisioned a crabby old man avoiding his wife's scrutiny. I see why you did well in the contest. A dog named "Walter" -- no wonder you fooled the reader.

This made me smile. And I'm sure that's what dogs are saying. . .such loyal friends but when ya gotta go, ya gotta go mom. I've had cats for a very long time. . .and they are really funny too. Cats tend to own their owners but dogs are truly man's (and woman's best friend.) How nice that you won an award. . . just goofin' around.

Comment from Melonie Kirchoff
Haha what a great story! It's the perfect entry for the dribble flash fiction contest! I love how you don't realize that he's a dog until the end. Good job, keep it up!

Comment from Gail Denham
Goofin' off - cute story - and we don't care how long our little dog takes - as long as he doesn't wander off - or it's not too cold outside. We have to watch out for deer, coyotes, or cougars at night around her e-s o someone goes out with the dog.

Hello, I hope this review finds you well. Thank you for sharing your flash fiction with us. To tell a story in so few words is a challenge that I think you executed well. Good job!

Comment from Carla Trinklein
Hahaha! Pretty sure my Oliver feels the same way. I get impatient when I let him out in the morning, I'm always worried about being late to school. Cute story! I hope you had (or are having) a great fall break. Mine is next week, and I'm so looking forward to it. Last week lasted a hundred years with parent-teacher conferences. ;)

LOL! ;) A hundred and one, I believe, and I know I had a lot fewer than you -- you probably need more than a week to recover!! ;) I'm just glad all my grades are in and I can BREATHE.... you know, I didn't get on the computer yesterday except to post a couple of things and the rest of the day I 'wasted' washing/changing bed linens, cleaning the stove/oven and sitting outside reading 'nonsensical romances' and looking at catalogs of clothes and shoes I'll probably never order... LOL! ;) :) But it was great! ;) LOL!!
You take care, my lady, and hang in there! ;) Yvette
Comment from Joy Graham
Okay, you got me with this one. First of all, I was not thinking of Walter as a dog until I got to the ending. Then I had to re-read a few times. I'm slow sometimes. Second, there are some facebook posts going around where the pet blames everything on its human, Karen. It's quite hilarious to me, anyway.
For catching me off guard you get a six. Well written, and well-played.
Best wishes in the contest.

LOL! Oh, you are too wonderful, Lady Joy -- glad Walter's little jaunt was able to 'catch you off guard' and, hopefully, made you laugh!! ;) :) It's feeling good to relax this Fall Break and maybe get my prose pen out again.... these shorties are one thing, but I've been neglecting my books so, I'm gonna try to get caught up! ;) :) Thanx for stopping in - Yvette :)
