I think the magic of having pets is the pure joy they bring to there owners, you cannot script their actions, they live and breathe 'in the moment' and that is priceless. i must confess, I did enjoy the visuals thrown up, caused me to smile one than once : ) Nice!

Hi my friend,
Your writing is so fun and entertaining. You surely imagine yourself into this little fellow's life and give him a voice which expresses his feelings in a delightful manner. It takes a keen power of observation and lots of talent to do this in such a convincing manner. It's a joy to read. Hugs, Aggie

A dog would kill of its treats. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very interesting read. There is very good imagery and descriptive scheme. Good job.

Thank you so much for stopping by to read and review. I love writing these stories about my dogs. They give me inspiration every day - but I try to limit their stories to once a week or so,

What a cute story about Howie and Bernie. It's funny how Howie loves the snack ball and Bernie doesn't care. It all works out so they're both happy.
Loved this: 'Just as he started to lose his little doggy mind...'
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Heidi; thank you so much for dropping by. The dogs continue to inspire me to write more and more stories about them. Bernie is itching for the next story - it will be from his point of view,

Nothing warms the heart like a doggie tale with your flawless text. I'm sure Howie would make a good soccer player. Your work brought lots of smiles and for me pleasant memories.

GREAT JOB!!

Howie didn't care. He had his snack ball.

How true!!!

I get trapped in bed at night. Three dogs lie comfortably snoozing, with me trying not to disturb their precious sleep. I can't get my entire body covered up, which makes me nuts because, well, there are vampires and my covers HAVE to come up to my neck, but the dogs are on the quilt and the sheet is tucked under Maggie's head....

I say, "Who wants a bone-bone?" All three pups jump to attention. I yank my covers and dive in while I can. Treats save me every day.

Cute story. I've never tried a snack ball with my dogs. I don't think they have the patience to wait for the treat to fall out. Would probably make them bite me! LOL! :)
