Greetings, Kiya!

I've noticed this bopping around for a while now, and thought I'd check it out finally. I wasn't sure what to expect: darkness, despair, or absurd humor. You have such a knack for vividly portraying all sides of life. The story of a boy and a dog who never got along is both heart-wrenching and heartwarming, as we see the man signing off the ageing canine to a family who can give it the love it deserves. His character is striking; rather than exacting some kind of revenge or avoiding the situation, he faces up to it with as much kindness as he can muster up and ensures the dog has a secure future.

You used nice clear font, employing both paragraph spacing and opening line indents, which gives it maximum readability without appearing too tedious on the page. As a story for the Writer's Cramp, it's well crafted, with a memorable and unusual yet relatable situation. Not everyone likes dogs.

I need to get used to making at least one suggestion for improvement again, as per Annette's requirements next month. I would suggest making a dropnote with the notes at the bottom, rather than just lining them up. Actually, I can take a hint for myself... I don't think I linked the prompts or the activity when I did seven days of Writer's Cramp last September *Shock2*

Take care, thanks for sharing, and keep writing *HeartT*
