Tuesday – Anything possible – Kreative Kue # 363 by Keith Channing

~ John W. Howell

In Keith’s words.

“Using this photo (below)  as inspiration, write a short story, flash fiction, scene, poem; anything, really; even just a caption for the photograph. Either put it (or a link to it) in a comment or email it to me at keithchanning@gmail.com before 6pm on Sunday (if you aren’t sure what the time is where I live, this link will tell you). If you post it on your own blog or site, a link to this page would be appreciated, but please do also mention it in a comment here.

Go on. You know you want to. Let your creativity and imagination soar. I shall display the entries next time.”

“What’re we going to do with this thing?”

“You’ve got to be kidding?”

“Just asking.”

“We will go by the humans, and each of us will have a hold of the stick.”

“Seems kind of dumb.”

“Says you. You know those humans are suckers for cute.”

“If you say so.”

“Here’s the thing. You the big brute and I the wiley terrier come walking along with this stick, and the cuteness factor will go off the charts with those humans.”

“I still don’t get it.”

“Can you say treats?”

“Huh?”

“Yeah, when they see us doing the partner thing on this stick, they’ll turn over chairs running for the cameras and treats.”

“How long do we have to do this?”

“Couple of minutes tops.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

“So, you can let go of the stick till we get closer.”

“What do you mean?”

“I got the stick. You can let go.”

“Um. I don’t think so.”

“Why not?”

“You said it yourself. Wiley terrier.”

“We are partners.”

“Sure we are.”

“You imply I can’t be trusted.”

“Not an implication. More like fact.”

“That hurts.”

“Not the first time. I’m sure.”

“Let go.”

“No.”

  1. Canine logic cracked! And yes – they only ever kept it up for a minute or so. Trevor almost always lost because he, being a Jack Russell Terrorist, felt the need to bark. That, of course, meant letting go of the stick!

  8. Hmm… the wiley terrier should realize if they’re fighting over the stick, they lose the cuteness factor and, consequently, the treats. He might want to think through their approach.

    Your take on these photos always makes me smile. Thanks, John. Nicely done.

  12. Oh dear, now they’ve got us humans figured out! And you know, they’re right — cameras, treats, and cuteness mesh perfectly. Love the conversation, John.
