That said, the characterization is spot on, while the descriptive writing made me want to live the rural idyll – and I am a city girl, born and bred, who panics when the nearest shops are five minutes away!

Thanks for the story, and I look forward to reading more.

Do you see what you did? You had us actually responding to this awesome story.

Like Amy, I was thinking “Man, keep that extraordinary great dog and stay true to your life, your convictions and live in honor of nature like you love doing! ”

You’ve created a character that became true in our minds. Thanks so much for giving me that little haven during a working day.

My crit partner said the exact same thing you did. If I had let Steve go through with it, I’d have been in the doghouse for sure

Thanks for your comment.

I'm not quite sure how this is fantasy.. but I do know that I loved the mood that was created throughout the the story. I actually was talking to Steve, telling him not to do it!
