Living the Fictional Dream

I actually forgot a publication! I can’t believe it.

Last weekend was pretty crazed for me. My best friend and her daughter have birthdays on the 13th and 14th, so we go for a visit and have a Christmas party with all my friends from high school on the same weekend — double whammy! We brought our nephews down with us this time, as well as two friends who are staying with us for the holidays, so it was a packed house in my parents’ little four-room (if you count the loft) cabin this weekend. Not to mention, no Internet.

With all that going on, not to mention the usual end-of-year craziness at work, I plumb forgot that a small drabble I wrote called “Dog Vision” was the story of the day at FlashShot  last Friday!

Though it’s no longer on the main page, you can still read “Dog Vision” in the “Last Ten FlashShots” archive. It looks like after that, the story will no longer be available on their website, so read it now!

This story was inspired by my sister’s dog (you can see a picture of him here, on her wedding blog). Whenever we dog-sit for her, her dog has this obsession with the shower in our master bathroom. He stares at it, barks at it, and just makes all kinds of fuss any time he’s in the master bathroom — especially if I’m getting into said shower. “Dog Vision” is my fictional attempt to explain this strange phenominon.

Enjoy, and if you have any thoughts, please leave a comment about “Dog Vision” here.
