Exactly one hundred words of nonsense written for Friday Fictioneers.
One, two, here we go again. Up the
track and back, counting sleepers as I go.
Sixty-one, sixty-two. This is where I
pee on the wild strawberries. She doesn't see and always eats some
coming back.
Hundred n’eighteen, hundred n’nineteen.
Look, there’s mud on the back of her skirt. Can’t tell her, wouldn't if I
could.
Three hundred n’six, three hundred
n’seven. About turn. Three hundred n’six, three hundred n’five.
Here’s Rover. Don’t sniff him, he
stinks. Personal hygiene problem.
Thirty-eight, thirty seven. Nearly
finished.
Two, one, supper soon. Canned meat
again.
Suppose we’ll do it all again tomorrow.
And there was I thinking they enjoyed their walks. :) Nice one.
ReplyDeleteHa, this is very cute. I love the dog POV :)
ReplyDeletewhy is he so mean?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not what I'd want my dog thinking about me and our time together. Good one, Keith, if a bit deflating to dog owners and lovers. :-)

This is actually cute. :)
ReplyDeleteBoredom from a dog's POV. Well done.
ReplyDeleteAvoid the wild strawberries. Lovely little snapshot of a moment in a dog's life.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this story from the dog's POV (even though I think he's a not-so-happy dog?). "Can’t tell her, wouldn't if I could." = LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteHe's like a grumpy old man dog. I bet he never even wags his tail.
ReplyDeleteHope the kid doesn’t eat the peed-on strawberries. :P
ReplyDeleteOur dog always finds something smelly to roll in to liven up his walks. He could teach this one a thing or two about getting the most out of every moment. Great narrative voice - entertaining story.
ReplyDeleteOh.. what a sour dog.. and peeing on the strawberries sounds like a revenge for his suffering.
