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.
Good Boy
Charlie was a good dog
Part border collie
Black with a little white spot on the chest, and some on the paw
A mutt from the pound
Found, wandering 'round by the sound
He was a sweet dog
Couldn't bite you if he tried
He used to sprint
And I mean sprint
Circles around our house when he was a puppy
I would laugh and try to catch him
Boy was he fast!
Once...after he passed
He comforted me in a dream
Sleep paralysis, trapped with a demon
Licked my hand
Even in death
He was still a good boy
