“What a day I had at school, Bella,” Nick said to his loyal black lab cuddling against his leg. “I finally got the courage to ask Rachel to prom and she said no! I thought she liked me!”
Bella just stared at her human brother, ready to give him a big sloppy kiss on the cheek. She couldn’t help but wag her tail, hoping to get Nick in a tail-wagging mood.
“I can always count on you to cheer me up, Girl. No matter what, you won’t betray me. I guess that’s why they call you ‘Man’s best friend.’

P.S. I’m not sure if this little piece of writing qualifies as a story, but it is 99 words, and you get the message I want to convey. If you’re an animal lover, I hope this story warms your heart.
Happy Friday and weekend ahead, and for those in the U.S.,
have a safe and fun Fourth of July!
Hugs, Lauren ❤️

You are becoming an expert at these 99 word stories, Lauren. You can always count on a dog to be happy to see you. Sorry about losing Lucky Girl. ❤
Aww, I wish, Carol, but I appreciate your words of encouragement! Yes, our dogs show unconditional love. Lucky Girl was sweet and we miss her. My mom passed away 3 months after she did, and then we adopted Copper and he’s almost 13. My mom loved Lucky and she would’ve loved Copper. Luckily, my dad was able to meet him before he passed. ❤️
The dog saves the day! Interesting contrast, Lauren. Perfect for 99 words.
Always, Curt! Thanks for your kind words. This story just unfolded, so I thought it’d be nice for a Friday. Have a great weekend!
I love 99-word stories! This is a good one.

I am planning to have a dog as my companion in the future as I am not going to get married forever! When you embrace nature,any living being or even the whole world could become your family.
I’m sure you’ll find the right dog that will fit your needs. Their unconditional love is the best! Thank you for commenting.
Best friend indeed, in every way! Bella is so sweet and I love your story. Needless to say how much I relate to it! Many hugs and Happy weekend and 4th, my dearest Lauren! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
I knew you’d relate to this, Marina. We love our puppies, don’t we? Happy, happy weekend to you, my dear friend! 💖🎆🌻🎉🎶🐶
We do, very much! 🐾❤️
Happy July too!
❤️😘❤️🤗❤️
I know, July already! Time is a mystery! 🙂 We finally have sunshine and warm temps. 🩷🌼🌷🦋
🔆❤️😘🌷💗😘❤️🔆
Aww, sweet little piece in dedication to our furry friends! ❤
Thanks so much, Layla. It sounds like you have a furry friend, too. 🙂 💞
That I did! One of thirteen years. Now my family has Legend, a sweet one year old Great Pyrenees. 💖
Our Copper boy will be 13 in September, but he’s doing okay. Aww, Legend sounds adorable. ❤️
And this is why I’m a dog person, the unconditional love!
I’m glad this little story resonated with you, Liz. ❤️
It did! 🙂
It was always nice to come home of an evening and see that little furry face parting the curtains at front waiting for us to arrive home from work. The welcome home certainly made us feel good after a hard day at work. 🙂
Their friendly, tail-wagging greetings always make us feel good, for sure, Ian. When I was young, we had Duffy, and he used to sit at the window and watch for us. He was a great dog who lived to be 16.
Nice and cute little story of 99 words Lauren. Dogs are always happy and welcoming and they let us know they are there for us. Thanks a lot 😊🙏🏻😊🙏🏻
Thanks for your lovely words, Kamal. Dogs are the best, aren’t they? But I’m sure cats do the same in their own way. We’ve always had dogs, though. 🙂 Hugs, my friend xo
Always welcome Lauren. Dogs are the best our Amber is so lovely and gives us unconditional love. Cats too are awesome but a dog is a dog. Hugs to you too dear friend 💗💗😘😘😘
A dog is a dog, I love it! 🙂 xoxox
Yes a dog is man’s best friend ❤️❤️
Having a loyal companion is one of the bet things in life.
Definitely! Thanks for reading and chiming in, Steve. 🙂
Lauren, you struck a chord with this missive! I love dogs so much. They know love when they receive it and give it back in untold ways! You know you’re loved by that cherished pet when you have to leave for a while or a day at work. On arrival home, the reception you get is beyond words.
I’m happy this story resonated with you, Don. Dogs are special family members. Our dog is lovable and quirky, but he’s definitely loyal and gives love unconditionally. Thanks for all your visits today also! I appreciate them very much!
