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.
Sable
My dog is named Sable. She knocks on my door every time she wants to come into my room for the night. She leaves me alone when I'm over stimulated and comforts me when I'm sad. She has been by my side longer than any human and knows me better than my closest friends. She is my companion and my commandant. She is loyal even when I don't deserve it. And, no matter how many times I yell and shout when I get home, just trying to relieve my chest of its burden, I am there for her too, always.
