November 2024 Drabble Challenge: Tell me about your favorite pet
I lost the best dog I've ever had this year on Dios De Los Muertos. I'd like to think there's a cool symmetry in that, and maybe a few stories in my future, but right now, I'm pretty well just mourning the fuck out of my loss. She was awesome. She'd sit next to me in my recliner, upright like a little person, and watch movies with me. So tell me about your favorite pet in a drabble, how bout it? Winner gets a prize. Rules: exactly 100 words using standard grammar, spelling, and punctuation, prose only please. Don't tag me, I'll read all the entries and pick a winner in early December.
Loki boy
”Lokes” came into our lives at a time we needed him most. After experiencing a brutal and heartbreaking miscarriage, my wife found herself in a bad place.
Then came Loki, our little man sold under the false pretense of being a labradoodle. He was a ball of fur and boundless energy. Unknown to him, he helped stitch our hearts back together. Our little white fluff isn’t just a dog, he’s a symbol of healing. A year later, my wife was pregnant again and we had our son. All these years later, although getting older he still has that boundless energy.
