Yet another wonderful chapter that had me smiling like a fool (in public) again. I know you say that you don't know much about dogs, but you are doing a fabulous job with this story. The part about fetch with Dax running around with the ball and Joe chasing. My dog does that ALL the time! It's soooo funny. I was reading it and saying to myself "YES!"
Also, thanks for making me sound cute in this chapter and not like a total freak. That makes me happy.
You are uber-fabulous. Thanks for the smiles. Now have yourself some smooches and rating points!Author's response
Ha ha, I am glad. ;)
Well, you are super cute. But we all do know that you are a freak. How else would you have ever made it into the DoJ if not?!
Woofie thanks!Canine Cupid

Yay! Thanks for that praise, Casie. And the point doesn't do much harm either. ;)
Oh, I need to work in that confused look sometime then.Canine Cupid

Because, frankly, hats had always born a slightly higher attraction to her than hard-to-tame locks.
Very funny. Another great chapter, FG! You seemed to have shot my...ehm...'pet' theory all to hell about it being Brenda/Carl with the 'sister' comment...unless they're even kinkier than I thought...;)Author's response
I go and try what I can, dude. ;)
Thank you very much for the r&r.Canine Cupid

dude. drama. dun dun dun. lol
great chapter. really liked CeCe, she was amusing. Essp with the bit about hat's. cause hat's rock. :)
umm...yea. i'm sleepy so i'm going to "go to bed" (aka: lay down and then 10 minutes later get up to write)Author's response
Yeah... a little something to balance out the humor. Or rather, a little something that should trick people into not seeing that my humor has its limits.
Hats are awesome and so is CeCe. And this chick Bridget that's been supporting me on ficwad since day one. ;)
That kind of "going to bed" sounds like a plan!Canine Cupid

"Maybe all it took to find a trustworthy male was a transition to another species" hahah. You don't need me to tell you how true that comment is.
And I have to commend you on such a well written chapter. A lot of chapters that try and fill in some background lose something in the interesting stakes. That is SO not true about this one. You did it so naturally, without losing any of the flow of the story. Well done, lady. Both informative an intriguing. Nice job. And I am quick enough on this one to rate you. Yay me! ;-)Author's response
Actually I should keep my mouth shut about that man topic because I am very lucky in that department (aka I found a trustworthy specimen). But hey, can't do much harm to bash men every now and then. Especially since this is the NARRATOR which should not be confused with the author of the story. ;) You can thank my university courses for this lame excuse...
Thank you so much for saying this, Rianna. :) I do feel better about this chapter now. Even though, I think I did lose some flow along the way here. ;) I love the way you always review my crap! Also, thanks for the rating point. I still treasure them. :)Canine Cupid

Lovely chapter as always. Loved the hat comment. How do you come up with these things?
Anyway, I was having a fun time not liking Brenda and there you go making her seem all human and real. I can't hate her so much anymore. sigh Oh well.
I really liked this chapter, it came together very nicely. Every now and then a 'slower' chapter is needed just to tie up lose ends, but as always it had your quirky humor, so it didn't realy lose anything. And I finally got to give you a point! Yay for being on top of things for once.Author's response
The secret to coming up with these things is shutting of your brain. I think?
Yeah, that was the whole idea. ;) I tend to be lazy with the FOB characters but I want (at least some of) my original ones to be more than black/ white shadows of characters.
Thank you for the praise, the point and your own awesome story! :)Canine Cupid

seriously, I'm a s* wife. I Missed 3 updates - why???? i think I need to add this to my alert because I cannot keep up with everything.....
Here's the reasons why I (can't) rate this chapter:
The insight into Brenda's background was awesome. In some way, we have all been through what she went through but I really enjoyed reading her journey and the events that lead to her where she is now. Great great work.
Joe's plans for the weekend looked as follows: Sleep in, spend some time with Dax, nap, take a walk with Dax, another nap, refrain from calling Brenda again because that would make him seem like a desperate creep. Ok - why am I falling in lust for Joseph?? Because of YOU woman. Ach!
So while his dog was relieving himself outside, followed by trying to catch butterflies, which looked about as clumsy as Joe trying to balance his toothbrush on the tip of his nose, the man got ready for the day. LMAO - first the dog's a beagle, second, it's trying to catch butterflies - thirdly, it belongs to Joe.....that's some funny fact right there....
And of course - there was CeCe who just add's spice to any story she's in.
I loved this chapter - but now I have 2 more to read....
Merrrrrr! I'm a bad bad person!.

Don't worry about it, Katy. I think I missed three times that somebody actually finished a story (that would be like at least 5 chapters) and then I had to catch up big time. And I haven't even gotten to all of that yet.
I'm glad you thought Brenda's background served to paint a picture of her character because that's what I was going for. Yeah, Joe is a sweetheart. I think Joe would be awesome with a dog. One that slobbers a lot more than a beagle though. Maybe some ugly Hemingway sort.
You're not. You're just a person. ;)
