The enormous wet snowflakes fell like confetti as she hurried along the crowded sidewalk. Closing her eyes, she inhaled the rich scent of chocolate and then saw the vendor spray whipped cream on top of a cup while young children waited patiently in line. The warm lights emanating from nearby shops and dazzling holiday displays lifted her small heart and spurred her along.
She swung her head towards the bell ringing man.
“You’re back!” he said. The man drew a white package from his sack.
He reached down and stroked her thick fur as she gulped down the tasty leftovers.

So funny. I loved it
Thanks for stopping by!
Love your flash fiction and thanks so much for the doggy funnies. Me and 3 yr old were cracking up watching it.
Thanks for reading!!
I just love this.. Amazing. I really enjoyed this post.. can’t wait to read more of your post
Thanks Kay! I am so glad!
Delightful! I really love it. And the video, hysterical! thanks!
Thanks Lynn! I know that video is funny! Those dogs are amazing!
Beautiful story. Great job.
Thanks Arindam!
I’m a sucker for anything with a dog in it! Very sweet.
Thanks Julia! Me too. I cried every week when I watched Lassie!
I can see it happening! Thanks for bringing it to words.
Thanks D! I am glad you enjoyed it~
Loved it….fantastic 100 word story and I did not see the ending coming at all. Love surprises!
Sarah! You are so sweet to come and read! Thank you so much!
Okay I was completely fooled until the warm fur part- Love this. Once you read it again knowing it’s from a dog’s point of view it’s even sweeter. Perfect for Christmas.
Thanks Justlyd!! I am so glad you came by to read!
Hahaha!
You really threw me a bone with that one, Susie.
Just incidentally, did you hear about the dyslexic atheist?
He didn’t believe there was a Dog.
Ooh, so much fun. Love that transition and surprise. Go dogs!
Thanks Lime! Glad you enjoyed the ride!!
We just hung a stocking for our new dog so I suppose I now have to buy him treats to put in it. Loved the story!
Awww! Of course you do!
Thank you Tim!
Aw, that was a sweet story, but the picture was kinda creepy! My pups will get a treat for christmas this year. I have 3 – two large and one small. But then the cats and horses will feel left out, so I’ll have to do something nice for them, too.
Thanks Madison!
It’s a funny video that’s for sure!
It sounds like you have some shopping to do!
Sweet story, Susie.
Thanks Soibhan!
Aww….I like that! I have two adopted dogs (one is now five and one we just adopted – she’s eleven). I am a sucker for animals and animal stories. Thank you for this week’s story!
Thanks Susan! How awesome that you just adopted! Sounds like you will have a few “friends” for the holidays!
Caught me off guard. Lovely story.
I am glad I “gotcha” Louise! Thanks for the tweet too!
Cute flash & the video cracked me up! My dogs would have dove head first into the bowls…lol. Yep, they will get presents. We put a cookie inside their wrapped package so they can “open” it.
What fun! Thanks for reading!!
Thanks KB!
Great twist at the end! Thanks!
Here’s my Friday Flash after a bit of an absence last month…

I am glad you joined the gang of #fictioneers Russell!
One year we bought our dog a huge bone for Christmas. She has such a great nose, we had trouble hiding it!!
Thanks for reading!
I could smell the chocolate & taste the whipped cream. It made me want one–bad!
And yes, I think my wife, Connie, has already selected Buster’s Christmas present. I don’t know if she’s going to wrap it for him or not, but I’m sure he’ll be pleasantly surprised either way.
Thanks Julie! I will have to check it out~
Aww! So cute. I’d seen that other video of the dogs eating too.
You do these things so well. I have yet to meet one of your 100 word essays I did not like..
This was great..
HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Thanks Linda!
I am glad it surprised you!
I think I am going to make some hot chocolate instead of coffee this morning too! i still have some whipped cream from Thanksgiving~
Great surprise ending
Now I’m craving hot chocolate too, yum!
GREAT WORK – AS ALWAYS!!
Thanks Hook!
Lovely story, Susie. Made me crave hot chocolate! My pets will definitely get their Christmas treats… Bird and dog even have their own stockings. (Yep, total pet-mom-nerd.
)
Thank you August!
Our dog gets a stocking too!
Dear Susie,
Loved your story. In my mind it was a cat, but I’m thinking now it was a dog. Your happy missive struck the perfect chord for the holidays.
Aloha,
Doug
Thanks Doug! I had a dog in mind, but hey a cat works too!
Thanks Jan! I had to go with a different photo prompt for Christmas.
Aw! I love this, especially the surprise ending. It made the scene even sweeter!
