Hey, I'm here for a galazy review :)

 

Vanity Narcissa Proudfoot is one heck of a mouthful of a name for a dog. Imagine bawling that across a park when the owner of said name is running off in pursuit of something?! LOL 

 

But yes, the blame of the name (and any of the dog's vices) should be laid squarely on the owner. So it's really the owner's fault that they haven't done a good job in training Vanity to not get under people's feet. And it kind of serves her right when, in search of some water, she fell over her own dog in the middle of the night. Black dogs aren't terribly visible in the dark. Perhaps this will teach Daisy Jane would care to put the light on next time she needs a midnight drink, haha!!

 

What a fun story!!

Omfg, did you write this whole story just for the pun? :D :D :D  Because, if so, I am thrilled.

This made me laugh so much. I related to basically every aspect of it as a pet owner. My cat is so much like Vanity. He's totally spoiled and I talk about him all the time. And he loves being underfoot. Which is particularly problematic when my husband and I are walking down the stairs, haha. We haven't yet fallen to our deaths, but the key word there is yet. (Our cat isn't black, though, which I'm sure would make that eventuality much more immediate.)

This was great. I definitely laughed as I got to the end and realized what the "moral" was going to be. It's such a clever way to work a pun into a story, and I'm absolutely going to make my husband read this ASAP. He hates puns, haha.

Wonderful job!!

Best,
Emily

Emily,

Thank you for the review. This is horrible but I couldn't even remember why I wrote this and what inspired me to based it off of a pun. Looking at the date, I'm assuming it was for the House Cup Finale. Was there something there about writing about a pun?

I think there is a grain of truth in this for every pet owner. My parents own a black dog and my dad has a flash light on his nightstand just to go to the bathroom.
