A very cute story, Christie. It had a real Western feel to it. It seemed quite authentic and was wholesome and cute.
Monty the hero saves the day.
Best of luck in the contest,
Rhonda

Comment from judiverse
Yes, many killers start off killing or torturing animals. Monty was smart to recognize the scoundrel for what he was. I'm glad he took a piece of the murderer. Great characters in this with Nettie, Clive, and, of course, Monty. Nettie is a very clever woman, having to work various jobs to take care of herself. Clive was ingenious for thinking of using Monty to catch a killer, and his plan worked! I was wondering if any romance might develop between Clive and Nettie. An outstanding entry for the Western Writing Contest, and best of luck. This is pretty long, so I suggest you might trim some of the opening and get to the big part of the story. I know you're fond of Calamity Jane, but it she essential to your story?

Thank you for your super review. I could take the reference to Calamity Jane out, or shorten it to one sentence, thanks for the suggestion! And the six stars just made my day.

Most welcome

Well done, and despite having but a trifle of the West as featured in films, the setting in Wyoming grants credence to its right to do so. Good luck.

Comment from lyenochka
Wow, you did a terrific job with your story!
I think this would make a great television show. I loved the history that you alluded to in the story. I hope this does well in the contest!
One suggestion is to use another word for idea to not repeat idea twice in "bright idea of collecting ideas for city"

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
This racoon seems a little intelligent. I'm glad because to have a racoon for a pet would be challenging and would keep you awake at night; you will see him roam around the house continuously. Very detailed western story.

Thank you for your super review. I figure raccoons roam a lot at night, like cats. They could be let out for the night maybe as well.
Comment from RJ Fuller
I really enjoyed this story. I wasn't sure, going into it, what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised at the ending! I'm especially fond of all the historical facts snuck in there. Now I wish I could meet Monty!

Thank you for your great review. Historical fiction always takes research, ha ha. I wish Monty existed, too.
