Good luck in the contest, Yvette. Yeaaaa for Walter, he was indeed a brave doggie to venture out and find a much needed tree. On the other hand, poor Walter having to listen out for Karen. Great job.

You took us there in the form a dog but at the beginning, I thought it was a little boy looking for a chance to get away for a little while. Then you took us to the thoughts of a pup

Yvette, I'm giving you six stars for some great humor in an every day event about a dog going outside for his daily routine. Enjoy your fall break.

You did a great job, YM, with your contest entry. I enjoyed reading it. Readers don't know right off if this is a man running from the house because he doesn't want to get caught be Karen's husband (as if they are having an affair) or what. Then we hear Walter 'speak his inner thoughts.' Thanks for sharing and best wishes. Respectfully with Love, Jan

Appreciation of trees... Now, that's a much needed quality we can definitely learn from Walther and critters like him! LOL Good luck in the contest, Yvette! I always appreciate your offerings!

I love how fun these flash fictions can be. Your last line gives the reader a new perspective on the story which encourages them to reread it and connect more dots. Best of luck with this entry =)

This meets the contest requirements splendidly as you deliver a well penned complete and thoroughly engaging story within the word count allotted. You take a clever approach as you begin with the direction of human interaction only to reveal Walter to be a dog. Good luck in the judging and thank you very much for sharing it.

Yvette,

Honestly I read the story before reading the subtitle. As such, I missed the connection between trees and '...the leg hiked' meaning. Now I got it - very, very funny!

My guess is this humorous piece of fiction will earn you a few bones in the contest voting.

Mark
