Ah, inspired by more Mikey memories! It's so sweet when kids grow up with pets and that the pets participate in their imaginative play. Not all kids have that experience. Another fun one - this time in a flash!

This is a cute story. Yes I was surprised it was not about a real sheriff and a criminal, but a child and a dog. I like the ending especially. It's hard to tell a complete story in only 50 words, but you did well on this one. Blessings. Carol

    Ye, 50 words blows me away when I first sit down to write something. The story comesout and then I have to whittle it down. Sometimes I don't like the outcome. thanks so much for the review and your thoughts.

Heh heh, what a very good entry in this contest Carol, that's exactly the style that wins these flash fiction contests, that surprise ending, which is very similar to the Japanese haiku, but it's not an entry, well done, blessings Roy

    Thanks, Roy! They wouldn't let me join the contest so I just decided to post on my own. It was a fun short and if I made someone else smile, I'm happy. Thanks so much ....

Well Carol. I thought I had missed something in this one. It was so short lol! I really enjoyed it though. The dog wagging his tail on the floor. Great story in such few words! The photo is awesome too! Keep up the great work!

    I can write short quick stories too, Harry! I just don't do it much anymore but it was once all I did. I am glad that you enjoyed this bit of humor.

Very cute , Carol. A big shame your wee story couldn't enter. It has it all. A beginning, middle and end in just fifty words. Not easy to do. All best, Ulla xcx

    I should learn to flip to the contest page and read all the rules...but what the heck....it was only 50 words and it was fun. As long as a few people enjoyed, I am happy.

What a great fifty word flash. I was surprised to discover it is not in a contest. This story had conflict, resolution, and a twist at the end...the perfect flash fiction. You have written another short, cute, smile producing story.

Very cute, Carol. This is contest worthy, my friend!! You definitely had me fooled with your short, short story. It had the complete deal. Story, characters and surprise ending.

Hugs,
Rhonda

    I love when I can surprise people with the ending. It's hard with so few words but when it works ...it's a blast. Thank you as always.

Someone got lucky, because every time I've had a dog chewing my on my house shoes, the slippers ended up looking like hamburger. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

    Knock on wood... I have not had a dog eat up things since I was a kid.... (Yes, I was young once upon a time). I had one dog that would eat everything if left alone...Needless to say, my dad found him a new home.

LOL, I guess the Sheriff couldn't believe the culprit complied with his order. At least he praised the puppy for being obedient. This was a good 50 word story.
