Gone Fishing


PHOTO PROMPT© Jennifer Pendergast

That eye is the perfect spot to fish I tell him.

Eye? He sounds confused this young pup I am saddled with training.

Those little thick circles of ice, I inform him, the hole suggests a good catch.

Confusion doesn’t last very long in the ambitious tyke.  I can see the gears in the brain whirling.
Bring back fish, become hero.

Without hesitation he steps forward.

There is a little gurgling sound at the end that a drowning person makes just before water rushes into the lungs. 

I love that sound.  And winter is the perfect time to set traps.

  9. Young pups can be a bit annoying, but this is taking things too far! And not for the first time, I see.

  10. As horrible as the fate of the young one is, I had a good laugh about it.

  11. Oh! Took me by surprise, you did! Not what I was expecting. A horrible but somehow satisfying surprise :)
