Smarty Girl - #FridayFlash and Writer's Pets Contest Entry





This is an early #FridayFlash to remind people of the last day to enter the Writer's Pets Contest. Check out the rules here. ;)


My entry is called "Smarty Girl", which I reproduced below for your delight, and the picture that goes with it is the one on the side. Care to share your opinion on it? :)   (No comments on the nose's size, please. I'm aware of that! :P)

She sniffed the air. Something had changed, she could feel it. Yes! Beloved was coming home! Tale sweeping the air, she ran to the top of the stairs and lay down, looking expectantly at the front door. When Beloved put the key on the hole, she shouted her warm welcome waggling so hard that her whole body moved along with her ventilator-tale.

But as soon as the door opened she stopped barking, letting her borrowed sister do the job instead. Of course Beloved didn’t like the noise, she never did. She went up the stairs ignoring the excited dogs and shushing the white little sister, who kept calling out despite the firm commands. Beloved went up to the second floor, left her bag on her room and came down again, going to the back of the house where she sat in a chair and looked down at her lovelies. They were still panting with those round shiny eyes, filled with infinite love, earning for her attention.

Beloved couldn’t resist anymore, she stretched her hands, each to one small hot head and smiled broadly at the moans of pleasure. The dogs soon sprawled on the floor, giving their bellies to be stroked. After everyone was fairly satisfied, Beloved got up and went back inside leaving the dogs behind. She snorted at her older sister; Beloved would never know that she was the one calling out behind the door.

    @John: Yeah, it's an inspiration from Winter Adventures of a Cushion-Dog, which is inspired on the British expression "best beloved" :)

  12. @Kim: Yeah, I hate leaving them at home to go to work. You know, detaching oneself from the pack is unnatural, heh.

    @Tim: Oh, you remind me of them warming my feet at night!

    @Craig: They do! :)

  13. Great story, Mari. You captured the excitement dogs seem to exude. While our cats are certain to be happy to see us again, they don't like to surrender their dignity. :-)

  14. @Kevin (KjM): True. One of the reasons why I'm more of a dog person, is that dogs don't care at all, they just want to make you happy.

  15. Cute! Dogs are never satisfied with a head rub, are they? They always want the belly rub too. :)
