TBM 1708.19 DDOP-19: It’s About Power

Teddy Bear

Description:

It’s about power…

Excerpt:

They stare up at me, waiting, their luminous eyes large, and tracking my every move. Every flash of my knife makes their heads twitch a little bit. Every time they hear the blade contact the wooden block they flinch slightly, moving one foot just a little bit, then easing it back into its starting position.

TBM 0817.05 – DDOP-05: World’s Biggest Chewtoy?

Maximus, 2017

Description:

My dog, Max (Maximus) will be nine in December. This story may or may not have taken place exactly as described, about eight years ago.

Excerpt:

“Everything I write is crap,” I said. “And my column is due tomorrow. I forgot to pay my cell phone bill and it cost seventy-five dollars to get it reinstated.  I ruined dinner and I’m too tired to cook anything new, and your dog ate my t-shirt.”  I was in tears by the time I finished my litany, but my husband was smirking. “Stop laughing! It’s NOT funny!”
