You make the dogs come alive here, give them personalities and character, and looking at the world from a dog's perspective puts our lives in perspective for us as well. The struggles of moving seem to lose significance here, the world revolves around relationships with others, the battle over the ball seems to take precedence over packing all the stuff up. Winning over hearts is the main thing. estory

Hi there;
Thank you so much for your philosophical look at the meaning behind the dog story. Many people miss the significance placed on the relationships and only see a cute story told from a dog's point of view.
I truly am thankful for this R&R,

This item never failed to start a good row, and it seemed Howie was intent on some mid-morning play. - good (roll)
I enjoyed reading this on watching the boys play. They are fun to watch and I'm sure give you a good laugh.

Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I loved this part. I enjoyed the chase and Bernie's worry about his mistress. We know that our pets are aware of change and it can be worrisome for them. Just that little smile made all the difference to Bernie, now he's happy, he can enjoy his game a lot more. Well done, my friend. :) Sandra x

Comment from D.F. Wood
This is a very cute story. I have dogs too and can relate to everything Bernie was doing. I did notice one small error with the word 'sighed', as in Bernie sighed. You wrote: "... Bernie knew he was in for a Howie trick. Bernie signed deeply. He didn't have time for this."
Very good. I liked it.

I always love the clever way you write these posts from POV of the doggies. The storyline is deftly manicured to fit the perceptive view of the precious dog. Of course part of the affective Arsenal of the writer, is the ability to gaze through a character's eyes, well done, excellent post Patty, blessings Roy

Welcome Patty.

Cute story. You've also let us into all the moving work that you've been busy with while you bring us into this little conflict that leads to a release of tension both between Bernie and Howie as well as between Bernie and the mistress he wants to keep happy.

Hi there;
Thank you so much for the R&R of this latest Bernie and Howie offering. Yes, I have been busy with the move, and I think the dogs are handling it well for the most part, but the part about Bernie trying to have me pack his toys is true.
