DISCUSSION THREAD -- November 2024 -- 75 Word Writing Challenge

[Luiglin]

I was workshopping puns involving Crocodile Shoes, and was trying to remember the name of the TV series which introduced Jimmy Nail to the entertainment world so I could include that too. Failed on both counts.

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.

It was a Bertie post for me the moment I got sight of this months theme and was easy for me to write up. We'll see if Bertie can steal your hearts and get me votes, because he is not much use for anything else other than eating me out of house and home. Still... he is my dog, and he has my number every night I come home to see him so happy that I made it back. Bertie my little dog.

Bowler1: A heartfelt tribute to a beloved friend.

 

[Phyrebrat]

I’ve had an idea for this month! Nothing bad taste (sadly) and totally not my usual semi-autobiographical miserable stuff.

As my family are all Geordies I’d also thought of pet as a term of endearment but have gone (or will go) the more accepted definition of the term

 

[Bowler1]

No cats.

@Elckerlyc .... The Incident .... This is a story that makes me feel someone is going to crap out besides the dogs.

@Astro Pen .... Cuddling up .... This is a story that makes me worried about what possibly comes next.

@Luiglin .... Why-aye .... This is a story I cannot review because I can not translate it. Google calls it English and so refuses to help me.

@THX1138 .... Memories Together .... This is a story which makes me wonder who's talking to whom?

@Cat's Cradle .... Crow's Feat .... This is a story where its obvious who's really training whom.

@Victoria Silverwolf .... Sweet Eyes .... This is a story which leaves me wondering about the line of sentience.

@Bowler1 .... My Dog Bertie .... This is a story which is an ode to a true love.

@Provincial .... Bloop .... This is a story of things that may yet come to be.

Provincial: A provocative vision of altered relationships.

Well I have entered my story, that was quite a challenge.

@Bowler1 seems to have failed in their attempt to exclude felines. More power to the childfree cat people of the world!

Honestly though, I would have thought squirrels were more of a challenge to canines and their owners.

Good thing I didn't take that approach with my oldest Aussi terroir, or it would've been more like:

The victorious Aussi stood on top of the pile of all forms of slain vermin, including squirrels and the likes, with blood dripping from her mouth and calling out:
"Come, Dad! Let us kill off these fighting toy things together! All in the name of the great, TREAT!"...

Ian Fortytwo: A gentle and inspiring fable of kindness.

 

[Bowler1]

Cats get everywhere.

 

[Bowler1]

Say no to cats.

 

[Luiglin]

Say no to cats.

I wouldn't be anywhere without my three legged asthmatic menace. I grew up with dogs, but after having cats, they're just too clingy. Dogs are like having permanent toddlers/rugrats 24 hours a day under your feet.

 

[Bowler1]

It's not rug rats, it's love.

 

[Victoria Silverwolf]

nixie: An intriguing look at things from another point of view.

Baeta: A fable that brings light to darkness.

 

[THX1138]

You need a cat if you want to rule the world...
