Sometimes it’s a dog’s world out there. This week, Rochelle’s excellent prompt for Friday Fictioneers gave a run to many awesome story tellers but earned a whiny whimper from my dog. In 100 words he complained. Please be mindful that his bark is larger than his brain and things rarely are as he sees them.
*************
I smell him in the car and on her coat.
His scent is all around us but I can’t see him or hear him.
But he is here…
Maybe if I bring my toy he will come out and play…
But he doesn’t.
I look for him around the corner when everything is dark and she looks into the sky waiting for something that does not come…
I don’t know why he hides.
I did not find him at the big salty water place.
She really can’t throw sticks.
She is cooking and there is music…
Is he coming tonight?
unbuttoned or undone 
excellent

So, what’s in the sky and why is she looking for it? Humans are a good source of food, but they just can’t grasp what’s really important.

Sparkles and twinkles because she likes them.
My dog says that nothing is more important than friends and a good bone.

Hyperbolic praise with alliteration, AnElephant spoils me… Maybe it’s the dog who deserves the high five ’cause he has a great voice.

Great take on the prompt. I love the voice of the dog and his failure to realise that ‘he’ isn’t there. It leads me to wonder why he isn’t there and where he actually is… 🙂

You could but you’d have to come here. He’s afraid of flying.

There is no room in my dog’s head for our terrors, save for abandonment issues. Thank dog for that! 😉

Dear Emmy,
A fun take on the prompt with a well-spoken POV. Perhaps this is the dog from Doug’s Dog House. 😉
