Oh-oh. A snide comment that completely goes over Billy's head. It seems Billy thinks his mother isn't that bad if he wants to honor his mother with the name. Cute story. I guess the contest is over?

This piece makes me feel bad for the little boy. It sounds like his parents are not getting along to well. At least the boy will have something that helps him feel close to his mother.

A dog licking the face is better than a cow licking a person's face. The other day I ran across someone getting licked by a cow. The tongue must travel to the face unexpectedly.

Life is hard when you've lost your mother and another takes care of you just as she always did. For the stepmother to be kind-hearted and understanding is a plus that the little boy may never realize that he had. Good luck with the contest.

This is a very nice and pleasant short story. It would also be nice if all stepparents were as understanding with a child who has lost a parent. I wish you all the best in the contest. Take care.

You did a good job with your contest entry, Mystery Author. Your words flow smoothly and are descriptive. The innuendo isn't lost on the puppy's name.
Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Love it! When I read it through the second time, I realized the sarcasm at the end, heeheehee. This is cute and all wrapped up in a small package of 50 words! Nice!
