It sounds like Harley and your family had a great time together during the holiday season. Your story was well written. However, I was puzzled over the category - General Poetry?

How fun to share the story of Harley's first Christmas through his puppy eyes and experience! You've done an excellent job on description and character development. I think Harley is a lucky dog. Mary

As a dog person myself, I thoroughly enjoyed your write about Harley's first Christmas.
What a charming way to tell the story, through the eyes of the dog.
I especially liked:Harley loved that sound. He burrowed into the sleeves of her shirt and gave a contented sigh. Closing his eyes, he said goodbye to his first Christmas.

OH, what a delightful little anecdotal story. I enjoy the story told from Harley's point of view. You have captured the heart and spirit of a dog with your descriptions. I especially like: tulip ears, his little tail waggling, the exuberant kisses of delight and love. This made me smile.

Comment from Matoshka
This was so beautiful and full of great emotions. the love and awe was all over this. I could see Harley trying to figure everything out, plus the new smells of food. I saw how he and the three cats all played with the paper on the floor. This poem was so full of love, love and love, I enjoyed it very much. God bless.

You are so welcome Patty. I have enjoyed the stories of Harley so much. I'm actually considering getting a dog a few months down the road, as I have missed my Tosha so much. Your story has inspired me so much. I will go to the pound and see who is waiting for me. thank you so much.

Those Jack Russels are such smart dogs, aren't they? I don't know if you classify this as prose or free verse, but it was great reading! It reminded me of my two cats and how they were so different when it comes to company. They hate it! Your story was very cute! Great job! V.A.

Patty, we also celebrated late this year. Sounds like everyone had a great time. Harley has settled in well, and I like the doggie playpen idea. It's good to hear what everyone has been up to. :) Nancy

Patty first let me tell you
how very enjoyable your story
is. The happiness and joy of
it is infectuous. However, I'm
confused as to why you posted this
under poetry. It does have a somewhat
poetic style to your prose which
makes the prose most appealing and
there are many that write poetic prose
with great success. Anyway, I did enjoy
your story, and hope to read more. Lora

Not only did Harley have a fantastic and social Christmas celebration, the way in which you have brought your readers into Harley's excitement and thought processes were so well done. I enjoyed the way you got into the thought processes of an animal, and you are able to bring Harley to life.
Thanks for sharing and warmest regards, Marijke
