Five Sentence Fiction Bliss; A Dog's Point of View



                                               

I just had to leave my serial of Zoe Saxon (the female assassin who hasn't actually killed anybody yet) behind this week as who on earth could resist this cutie little picture of the Jack Russel taking a chance on a delicious little cupcake? So here's my take on this week's prompt where I have used the prompt 'Bliss' and for the first time, the picture too which is too adorable to ignore and that's coming from a cat person! xx  



A Dog's Point of View

I could smell the sugary cakey goodness a mile off,  what was she thinking by leaving such a treat right in front of me; I am a dog after all and I can’t be held responsible for the silly mistakes my pet makes and it was the chance I had been looking for.What would the K9 Club say if they knew I had ignored the rule of no paws on the coffee table in case I accidentally left a tiny scratch; I mean look at those coffee rings doing more damage than my soft pads could ever do.
I had to uphold the honour of dogs everywhere and show the Great Dane, Dewy, I had what it takes to become a fully fledged member of the K9 fraternity; they would surely welcome me, after all Bonnie got in on a slice of toast that fell on the floor, I mean it was practically given to her and, toast for dogs sake- what’s that all about?      
The first lick of the vanilla frosting tingled on my tongue, the tiny crunchy balls exploded with sweetness in my mouth, the soft light sponge melted like butter and before I could say ‘bone’ the cupcake had disappeared into my well deserving belly; I was in sugary heaven.

It didn’t take long to demolish the evidence of my crime stealth and the chance to belong to the K9 Club but my tail wagged with the sugar overload; who needed the K9 Club anyway when my pet left treats around for me to steal devour and let’s be honest, what kind of name for a Great Dane is Dewy?

  1. A very cute take on the prompt picture indeed. I like how he rationalizes his actions and establishes his right to eat the cupcake before proceeding.

    1. I like cute sometimes and any 'thief' would rationalize the worth of their act for proceeding ;-). Nice to see you here too. Thanks for taking time to read and comment. xx

  5. This story made me smile. Toast for a dog? Cupcake looks much better. Very funny and full of perfect imagery.

  7. Thanks for the link. I forgot to read it, then found it again. So glad I did. I have a 'thief'. The girl Boxer puppy will steal anything left on a table, even non-edible delights - like my mobile phone!

    Cute pic and a delightful story x.
