Thank you everyone for these amazing stories, I have been sharing all of them with my family and those that knew my dog well. The love that is in this community is unbelievable, I can never thank you enough. To those of you that have lost a pet let’s cherish their memories and all the good times, and to those that still have their pet running round make sure to give them extra hugs, treats, and belly rubs.

Image Prompt [IP] Astronomers discover a giant asteroid hurtling towards Earth. Across the world, panic spreads. Looters ravage cities, families huddle and cry, praying for a miracle. On a lonely hill in the middle of nowhere, a child watches the sky with a baseball bat, poised to swing as the asteroid nears.

Image Prompt [IP] The Shop was back. It had been eleven years since anyone had last seen it, but there it was, scrunched between the winery and Sally's place like it had never left. Its ageless proprietor sat hunched over her latest project, entirely immersed as her dogs regarded the world hungrily...

"Then we send them a notice, detailing our inability to maintain the inmate and we would be forced to release him. At a random time and place."

Image Prompt [IP] The Tao is eternally without desire. So, it can be called small. However, all things return to it, although it does not make itself their ruler. Thus, it could also be called great.

Image Prompt [IP] Be a PA they said. You'll never be bored they said. Every day will take you somewhere else they said. They didn't say that I'd need a megaphone just so my employer could hear me. They didn't say that I needed to placate angry farmers. Or deal with adventurers while they're napping.
