This is an excellent story. I enjoyed reading it. Your entire presentation is good. You use descriptive words that draw in a reader. I loved the dialogues too.

Best wishes!

Yes, well done for learning so well. Good mistress. And I'm glad we have solved the mystery of the meatball removal. I was worrying about that, after laughing a great deal. They are such wonderful friends aren't they. My partner and dog are way at the moment and we face-timed. I called her name and she came running to lick the phone.

I'm afraid that's about right, the dogs (animals) rule the show.
Nicely written. Good work.
The pets are not about to change. They run the show. Best to have no meetings in my opinion. At least you would save yourself the embarrassment of bowing to them.

Hello Wendy,
thanks for sharing the thoughts of Sunny with us. It's interesting to see the different spin that he puts on activities. I admire you for taking such good care of him. We spoiled our dog to no end. It got so bad that in the morning when I ate a bowl of cereal, he had to have some as well, and it had to have milk on it or he would give me the evil eye. The kids thought he was out of control, but I thought he was just right.
Have a blessed day gal.
Tom

This is so cute! You have a great ability to read the doggy mind. Simple and straight-forward, yet it's so difficult to change those annoying habits. I know that Flora brings her food under my dining/writing chair to be with me, but the floor mat is starting to look disgusting. Oh well, better a faithful dog than an immaculate mat!

    Thanks so much. Love your review, and yes the priority is love over a clean floor mat. Thank you too for the six very shiny stars. Much appreciated.

I think you've got that dog of yours thoroughly taped.

I think that dog of yours has got you thoroughly taped.

Clearly you were made for each other and for a large quantity of tape!

Delightful! "When you cook a delicious piece of pork, chicken, steak, or sausage or bacon, I find it hard not to resort to begging, which is a bit undignified."

"Sunny: I was just taking them to where you were. I just wanted to be with you!" -- awwwwwwww!!!

"You do tend to stop frequently when we walk, and every few metres you seem to spend some time sniffing." -- Yer killin' me!!!!!

I am so completely and thoroughly charmed by this adorable story... I only wish I (still) had a six available to rate this as it so richly deserves.

I have only one, small suggestion, and it is because a highly-regarded editor of a prestigious publishing house once said the same to me -- exclamation marks should only be used for short, terse things, like a command = "Stop!"

Best of luck in the contest with this wonderful entry.

    Thank you Dawn, for your super review. It made me very happy that you enjoyed the story. As for the exclamation marks, you are right, and I will go back and edit. I have a bad habit of overdoing them. And I very nearly used another one at the end of that sentence ....

    Hahaha -- welcome to MY world. :) I satisfy my need to exclaim where I'm only having conversations with other writers. :)))

    Thank you Roy. Yes, he has a way of turning everything to his own advantage, and I think for him I am a bit of a pushover.
