This week’s Friday Fictioneers’ 100 word story Invitational presents this photo of a dog up a tree. Check out Rochelle Wisoff-Fields’ blog to see the other entries, which are pretty good this week. The idea is to write a 100 word story with a beginning, a middle, and an end, which Bumba did not exactly do, but since it’s a dog talking you can’t expect too much narrative – unless you want to hear a long tale.
Don’t ask me how I got up here. I can’t talk anyway because I’m a dog. A dog up a tree.
It ain’t so bad up here by the way. In fact, I kinda like it.
I can see into the neighbors yard. They left a plate of cookies on the patio table. Hmm. I can also scope out those squirrels that have been on my mind. I can look down on people instead of the usual state of affairs. Not bad. But all good things come to an end, including this little story about… what was it about anyway?
An Occasional Story or Magazine 
Thanks for a visit to Involution-odyssey. I liked your non shaggy dog
thanks
Thanks and thanks for visiting
I’m sure he thinks they’re the cat’s whiskers. 🙂
Ahh! That’s why Obama Cares.
A dog doesn’t need to have a point and in that, fits in with a lot of humans anyway. Hope he got the cookies. I’ve been reading all the comments on the NSA and have to laugh. I’m in the UK and have a cat. When she goes out she wears a special collar with a tracking device attached. I can track her down with a little unit that makes her tag bleep and I’m just wondering what my neighbours must think is going on! Thanks for the laugh! Ann
And I wonder what President Obama thinks about your cat’s conversations. Thank for visiting!
oh my cat is jealous now!
That dog looks like he has just conquered Mount Everest and wants to plant a flag. It will take a lot of convincing for him to give up his perch. Everyone like a good point of view.
Yes, it’s a funny photo. Money doesn’t grow on trees and neither do dogs
I love this…………and I love that image too. Funny how that dog doesn’t appear to be the least bit interested in coming down (wow…..I can really see a lot from up here)……… 🙂 Happy New Year, precious man!
Happy New Year to you, too, Bobbie.
Cute, now I want to be a dog! Happy New Year, Stephen.
Happy New Year to you, Amy!
What were we talking about?
I have always suspected that long attention spans are not a canine attribute… Especially when there are cookies around.
Dear Stephen,
Into the canine mind. Love the last line.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I tend to say anywaze, but I cleaned it up for the FF.
I would say a very curious dog… so he can see what’s going on the other side of the fence!
Wish you serenity into the new year 🙂 claudine
Curiosity killed the cat. As for the dog, he’ll have to look out for himself.
Happy New Year!
Unusual he managed to get up there! It should have it’s own tree house :O)
Eric said the dog is an NSA plant – which doesn’t make sense. Because if he was a plant, why would he need a tree? Yes, it remains a great puzzlement how the dog got up the tree.
It gets increasingly difficult to defend this country from people who wish us ill. Now we need court orders before we can spy on you through light bulbs, toasters and laptops.
Sigh!
However, if there is a will, we will find the way. As most homes have dogs – with tags.
Which court would ever believe a dog could climb trees – and actually works for the NSA.
You’re right. That dog is definitely CIA. What about the kid? Is that a clever disguise or what?
This was my favorite line, “I can look down on people instead of the usual state of affairs”…until I read this exchange! Maybe the dog is actually FB-eye(s).

Someone said that the pun is the lowest form of humor…. Oh, it was you.
I certainly got as low as possible this week, Bumba, and enjoyed every minute of it!!
Welcome to the lower rungs.
hmm, thinking about those cookies i bet…thanks for the flash dog story. cute. 🙂
The cookies were chocolate chip.
🙂 yum!!
