A FRIEND FOR SABBATH
The goldfish bowl teetered when Sabbath, a giant black Newfoundland, slammed into the table. His paws found no grip on the hardwood floors. Water from the bowl sloshed up and out, but the bowl settled, the fish safe. Sabbath pulled long scratches into the floor with his nails as he launched in the other direction, determined to catch his new friend. Foamy drool dripped from his tongue as he barreled across the room after him, but Sabbath crashed into the leather sofa as the Chihuahua jumped up. The Chihuahua smiled as he rode the couch across the room.
Very descriptive piece! LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat entry. You barely made the deadline. Now if you win, I shall shake my fist at you and mutter "curses!" :))
ReplyDeleteHaha! Great last line Margo! And an excellent and fun entry!
ReplyDeleteGreat piece! I love the description to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat visual descriptions. After seeing my dogs play, I can completely imagine this, foamy drool and all!
ReplyDeleteGreat descriptions. I cannot help but cringe at the damage to the floor, though. I guess that is why I am a cat person instead of a dog person.
ReplyDeleteGood work!
I agree about the descriptions. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteHaha, loved the Chihuahua riding the couch at the end. Good job. :)
ReplyDeletenice one - and not about fish - I can just picture dogs and chaos
ReplyDeleteLike the imagery at the end with the dog sailing on the couch. Oh, the clean up!
ReplyDeleteAwww- Sabbath!!! Loved this. I really liked the Chihuahua riding the couch. Hee!

ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful flash piece! Great description and great fun!
ReplyDeleteI really love this. THe name of the dog caught my immediate attention. I also have the image of both dogs, the nails scrabbling on the floor and the "ride on the sofa." Well done. Made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteNothing better than a dog's smile. Great description!
