Comment from Michele Harber
FSBFF, this shows your usual wit, and just how adept you are at the twist ending. Of course, the fact that they offered "cocktail weiners" did give away that they were talking to a dog. After all, if they were speaking to a woman, they'd have been offering their "foot-longs." ;-)

Oh, now Michele Harber!!! Is that typed with the same fingers you braid your daughter's hair??? Tsk, tsk, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, tsk, tsk, you're so freaking hilarious, tsk, tsk, hahahahahaha...
-
Luckily, since we got her hair cut, it's too short to braid, so I guess I'm safe on that count. In all fairness to me, of course, can you honestly say you've ever met a man whose come-on line was, "Wanna see my cocktail weiner?" Just sayin' ...
-
No, but I never had anyone offer a foot-long, either. The closest encounter of that kind was a guy who asked me if I'd like some hot stew. (His name was Stew.) (I declined.)
-
If I were you, I'd have declined just on the basis that you had a much more sophisticated sense of humor than he did (and, apparently, than I do).
-
Plus he was missing teeth...
-
(call me shallow...)
-
I hope you?re getting royalties off the song of the same name.
-
At least I now know the inspiration for your ?False Teeth? entry.
-
I knew you were going to say that!!! I honest-to-gawd KNEW that was your next comment!!!
-
Ohhh, yeah; absolutely. (What I'll probably get is a copyright infringement letter!!)

Hi Rachelle,
Lol, I really liked this piece. It funny when you get to the end, expecting a brief jealousy tale but it's nothing of the sort.
Nice one and best of luck with it.

It sounds like you et some real classy fellas. What was desert, smores? Sounds like my kind of shindig. I have never been to Arkansas, but it seems charming.

Dogs aren't as discerning as you! Thanks for the amusing review. xo
Comment from Jeffrey L. Michaux
This is really funny Rachelle. What are you saying or trying not to say? I can get quite a few different things from this. Vet's orders. Now that's pretty PRICELESS! You're cracking me up and I can't take any more! I could probably go into some detail, but, that's not necessary. Thanks for making me laugh with this humorous work that you've penned here. Well done! Keep them coming.

I love dribble fiction because it leads the reader down one road and then surprises them with a surprise at the end of it. I'm glad you had a good FS laugh today, Jeffrey. Thanks for your delightful review. xo

Hello Rachelle Allen,
Lovely piece of General Fiction meeting the required norms, and transparently depicting its theme.
Impressive and perfectly matching the theme phraseology.
"..."Stop!" I cry. "No spicy foods. Vet's orders."
Best of Luck!

Oh how clever you are. I never guessed that you were describing men's reaction to a horse, or was it a dog? Either way I was convinced that y he object of the men's interest was a beautiful young woman. Very good job of deception.

Definitely a dog, Nomi! Horses have no place at my house parties!
Thanks for the excellent review. xo

Thank you for your excellent job of fooling me so artfully.

Oh, it is my pleasure!! Thank you for liking me anyway afterward!
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written fifty word flash fiction. When a girl is the life of the party all the men will try to get her attention and will do anything to win her favor.

Comment from Gloria ....
Haaaaaaa, this is just terrific Rachelle. You gotta love a shiny coat and what a wonderfully bit of misdirection in this perfect fifty word flash.
I'm wishing you much great luck with the Contest Committee with this gem. :)
