Welcome to the Picture it & Write creative writing exercise. I invite people to join in, comment with your paragraph of fiction to accompany the image. It doesn’t have to follow my story or reflect the same themes. It can be a poem or in a different language (please provide a translation).
Please continue to write however you’re inspired, but add a tag to the beginning of your post if there’s mature content in order to keep Picture it & Write an engaging event for all of our followers.
“My boss is a slave driver,” Victoria complained. “She has us working harder, not smarter.”
“Isn’t it supposed to be the other way around?” Leah asked.
“You would think so. We’re not allowed to think. Not allowed to look for inefficiencies, not allowed to care about the customer experience. No one seems to care that we are fighting an uphill battle against the current without a paddle.”
Leah laughed but stopped herself under Victoria’s glare. “Exaggerating much?”
“No. You know that dog that gets the stick stuck in the stairs? He keeps pushing, thinking brute force is the answer. It’s like that. Unrealistic expectations and no common sense.”
“Dogs don’t have…”
“Oh shut up.”
–Eliabeth Hawthorne

I once saw a dog get a fence post through a gap in the wall by twisting her head just right. They can have sense enough when they need to. Here’s mine https://joe2stories.wordpress.com/2015/09/20/picture-it-and-write-henrys-home/

I have no doubt some are smarter than others.
What a great piece. As much as I’ve dogs I hope no one tries to give me one for Christmas. The animal needs to have a say in the matter and pick me. It’s terrible that people ditch animals because a present ended up being a little too much work.

Though I often wonder what’s going on in my cat’s head, I’ve never considered that a dog may not enjoy fetch. In my experience, they either enjoy it or ignore you. Interesting food for thought.
