What a great entry - I love it, and it will definitely do well. Very satirical (or maybe just humorous) and witty, and written with that special sense of fun. And fiction is fine, your story shows your great imagination! Best wishes.

    Thank you for the great review, Wendy. You know me, I can't just go with simple. Haha. I love when we have the option of 'fictional' in these contests. Reality doesn't do me any good. Lol. I'm glad you liked this ridiculousness, W. Thank you again.

This has to win an award for the worst punchline ever, but it is actually most amusing. In fact the whole story was amusing, and it had me asking the usual questions like, how to space dogs go for a pee? And then I got to that awful punchline so bad it was hilarious.

    Lol. I saw a trailer for an upcoming movie where there were aliens on the moon and they had hammer head shark heads. It was titled "The Shark Side of the Moon. I laughed my butt off at that dumb title.That's where this ridiculous idea came from. Being a 400 word minimum, I had to take the long way around and add as many silly jokes in there that I could. Yes, a seriously lame punch line but I had fun with it though. Haha. Thank you for the great review and stars, friend. I'm glad you liked this silliness.

Hi, Joan,
I like your doggie story. What better way to spend a week or two on the moon with two best friends.
Nice story. (I hope you three found your way home. Lol).
I liked the witty ending.
Good luck.
Blessings,
Cindy

This is a cute story. And the dog in the space suit is darling. I do not know if I would like to take a visit to the moon. In reality or a dream. This was a great story of fiction. Thank you for sharing your imagination. Have a great weekend.

You have presented a wonderful situational comedy here, with a great play on words at the end. It really appealed to my sense of humour. Good luck in the contest. Kate xx

This was definitely a great story. I laughed the entire time! Especially in the beginning when you mentioned monkeypox, a situation that need a little laughter. Thank you for this piece.

    Ha. You're the only one to mention the humor expressed in first paragraph. Thank you for that, friend. And thank you for the great review and stars, Nathan. I'm glad you had a chuckle or two at this silliness. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Shit that was a long windup. It should garner some snort-laughs from the audience here. Counting down from 10 with arf was a high point in this tale.

I hope you created this image cause that's what gives this a six ; )

    Thank you, friend. I really just put the second dog in there. Both pics already had them in space suits. Yes, it was a long walk to get there, that's for sure. Lol. I just had to come up with something ridiculous as usual. A boring pet write just wasn't going to get it. I really appreciate the big six, H. I'm glad you liked this silliness. Have a great weekend, friend.

This story was fun and enjoyable to read. I liked that you chose to tell a fictional story for this contest. I liked the "bark side of the moon" bit. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes to you.
