You, Josn, for your RR&R. I very much appreciate your time and talent. Yes, FS had been good for me with deliberate writing.
Happy 2017!
Comment from Dawn Munro
Okay, this is becoming annoying! I KNOW I read this - even watched the video. Why is there no review showing? Hmph!
Well, I have three words for you - very well done. Oh, three more - ARE YOU NUTS? (LOL) I'm just kidding, of course. (But I do wonder how much of a gift the little guy was for the big guy...are you sure it wasn't a case of transference? Hmmmmm?) LOL.
Now Mary, again this deserves six stars, but since I'm late (hmph! Am NOT!), a six won't promote it, so I'll hang onto it for another brilliant write. But here are some virtual ones to show how I feel about this piece - ***************************!!!

This is the best piece I've read this season.
Mary, your talent of writing really shined
through this one and I loved the wonderful
metaphors and drama you put into the
acquiring of Buck. The video made me smile. -Bill

Hello Bill and Happy New Year. Please excuse my late delay in acknowledging your RR&R. The Christmas season and time with family took me from FS, but that doesn't mean I didn't love your review the moment I read it. Thank you for bestowing the all elusive six stars to it, along with your wonderful compliments.
Buck is doing well, and keeping us up all night...what the heck was I thinking?? He is tote adores.
Thank you again, for your time and talent. Happy New Year!
Comment from bichonfrisegirl
LOL ... very entertaining write, Mary! "Oh, no!" ... that pretty much says it all. :)
This is an exceptionally well written account of your deliberations in picking out the 'perfect' gift for hubby, and his reaction in the video is priceless.
Many funny and clever lines. My faves:
-"I blame it on the excessive cookie-ing"
- mother in-law's comment "you need another dog like you need a hole in the head"
- the whole part about what if this was a robbery
- Brunhilda was so excited she pee'd herself (this was my favorite line!!)
- "it might be the last time he pooh-poohs the suggestion of clothing or tools as potential gifts
Thanks for the laughs, Mary!

Ha, what an excellent idea, incredibly interesting story and great clues. I was darn close with the Lexus, right? ;-)
Very well done and congratulations on your new smart addition to the family.

Wonderful story, and the gift was perfect. Loved the video, too, and I left a comment on youtube. Talented dog. And you're not so bad yourself. :)

Comment from Spitfire
Hey, I was close. I mentioned how often the 'gold' appeared. But milk duds was an in the family thing. Wonder what Heidi made of that clue. Contrats on the new addition. Golden Retrievers are awesome dogs. But it doesn't even begin to beat the Christmas gift I received from my daughter. Wait for the next post.

It would have been nice to see the puppy instead of the striped shirt.
Can you make another video of the puppy? I'd love to see Buck.
Great gift. Great story. Great striped shirt. haha

Comment from Sasha
This was such a fun read. You have a real gift for writing and I hope you put together a book one day of all the fun stuff you and your 'clan' have done. Great work with this and it definitely deserves a 6 star rating.
