A whirlwind of activity, I didn't know what to expect. I licked my paw, inhaling the bubble bath scent instead of feces. Smiling, I wagged my tail not feeling urges to bite my flesh.

Puzzling. Non-threatening sounds. Can this be a home?

Now, what's the purpose of that squishy thing?

Welcome back to my freewrite prompt story for this week. The photo that is the subject of the story spoke to me about a puppy with a bewildered look on his face.

Describe what you see.
A sandy colored puppy with large dark brown eyes sits on an area rug. He stares pensively at something or someone out of the view of the photo. Behind him sits a soft against a wall. A window adorned with curtains exposes a cloudy view. The room appears to be a living or family room. In front of him is a colorful pet toy.

Describe what you feel.
Surprise, shock, and a myriad of emotions are running through this puppy's mind. He doesn't know what to think or how to feel. His new surroundings are foreign, but nice. He's been adopted by a family, but hasn't realized his good fortune yet and what it will mean for his future survival.

Write a story or poem about what you think is going on. I leave with you my story for: A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words - 10/11/24.

Bienvenidos de nuevo a mi historia de libre escritura de esta semana. La foto que es el tema de la historia me habló de un cachorro con una mirada desconcertada en su rostro.

Describa lo que ve
Un cachorro de color arena con grandes ojos marrón oscuro está sentado en una alfombra. Mira pensativo a algo o a alguien fuera de la vista de la foto. Detrás de él se sienta un mullido contra una pared. Una ventana adornada con cortinas expone una vista nublada. La habitación parece ser un salón o una sala de estar. Delante de él hay un colorido juguete para mascotas.

Describe lo que sientes
orpresa, conmoción y un sinfín de emociones recorren la mente de este cachorro. No sabe qué pensar ni cómo sentirse. Su nuevo entorno es extraño, pero agradable. Ha sido adoptado por una familia, pero aún no se ha dado cuenta de su buena suerte y de lo que significará para su futura supervivencia.

Escribe una historia o un poema sobre lo que crees que está pasando. Os dejo mi historia para:
A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words - 10/11/24.

Una nueva vida por explorar

Un torbellino de actividad, no sabía qué esperar. Me lamí la pata, inhalando el aroma del baño de burbujas en lugar de las heces. Sonriendo, moví la cola sin sentir deseos de morderme la carne.

Desconcertante. Sonidos no amenazantes. ¿Puede ser esto un hogar?

¿Para qué sirve esa cosa esponjosa?

What is this fluffy thing for? I laughed a lot, because you describe it in the first person, so you got into the role.
I don't know what it's for either LOL

I hope that tomorrow I will have time to participate.

Yes, I viewed the scene from the puppy's perspective. After harsh treatment, he didn't know what normal was, what it entailed to be a loving pet, and how to respond.

Thanks for visiting. Take care.

Well that is an even deeper meaning from a very short post from you of a lovely little puppies.
How two different treament can lead to different reception.

Yes, the format is a flash fiction story told in exactly 50 words. I tried to convey what the puppy experienced before he came to his new home and how he's now confused with the loving treatment. You interpreted the concept correctly.

Thanks for your visit and support. I appreciate it. Take care.

When I read the short story, I knew our lovely puppy had been adopted.

I am happy for him. His new family will definitely take good care of him and I hope he will enjoy his stay.

Maybe, sooner or later, he will figure out what the purpose of the squishy thing is, lol.

Great use of the prompt ma'am. Well done

You interpreted correctly @sabrinah. Perhaps his harsh treatment hasn't yet subsided to realize he's now in a loving environment. Never having a toy of any kind will take some getting used to. I feel that he'll figure it out.

I appreciate you stopping by and your engagement. Take care.

Whenever we adopt a dog or anything, it later becomes like a family member in our home.

Yes, it certainly does become a loving home @djbravo whenever we adopt and treat the pet with love. The pet will also come to relax in his new surroundings.

Thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it. Take care.

Hello, @justclickindiva I stopped by here, the photo of the beautiful puppy caught my attention, I haven't been through this contest for a while, I made several posts...

What do I think of the PHOTO?

The beautiful puppy is sad, why did you give him a stuffed bone and not a real bone. He looks at him bewildered...

Your post and story are beautiful.

That's a good question @eve66. The puppy is indeed overwhelmed by his new surroundings. Hopefully, he'll become comfortable and figure it out that he's in a loving environment.

Thanks for your visit. Take care.

I am not sure if a pup will think about "home" or future it's more a human thing to do but if it comes to that toy... No bell rings yet.

I feel that any animal can sense the difference between mistreatment and being taken from that environment and put in a place of peace and comfort. Being free from the agony of flee bites and hunger is blessing that brings forth happiness. This is the manifestation of "home".

Thanks so much for your visit and engagement. I truly appreciate your support. Take care.
