Group Story???.

[Gustav]

I don't know what you guys think of this idea but here goes:

We could between us write a story, like the next line game so I start the story with for Example once apon a time there was a dog and his name is...... and the next person adds a line to the story and then leaves it for the next person. That way we could have a really interesting story that's a part of all of us! And if it's any good we could have it published and donate all the proceeds to a dog charity!!!

What does everyone think?!!

[doglover101]

OK!!!! lets do it!!!!!! :)
(who is going to start?)

[Gustav]

You can if you like!! :D

[doglover101]

no thanks im REALLY bad at starting things like that you go ahead :)

[Gustav]

Ok here goes.... How about!

I first met him when I helped out at the shelter that eventful summer. It's a summer that will stick in my memory forever because..........

[doglover101]

my mom adopted my sister called....

[puppylove05]

angel, she was 6 months and she had light blonde hair...............

[bubbatd]

I was feeling a little sorry for myself as everyone was making over Angel . I was cleaning out the last cage when......

[smkie]

i heard a small whine behind me...

[Barb04]

and there was Angel holding her stuffed bunny toy...

[Doberluv]

in her teeth and wagging her tail. She then dropped the bunny in front of me and ran off in the other direction, going toward...

[gaddylovesdogs]

going toward one of the new volunteers. Standing up on her hind legs...

[smkie]

i reached down and picked up the bunny thinking to myself...

[Renee750il]

"Maybe I should pay more attention to Angel! She must think the only way I will play with her is if she pretends to be a dog." Just then I heard my - our - mother coming around the corner, frantically calling for Angel, asking everyone if they had seen her. I spun around the last corner, stopping in my tracks when I heard Mom say,

[smkie]

Since Angel was the most advanced 6 month old baby ever (people/ dog), i had to think wow! My parents adopted a magic baby!!!! (just kidding, ignore me guys...this one doens't count) but i had to write something....i think you all got off on a false start and need to start over..it is a funnnnn game..if you don't want to start over than just ignore this.

[Gustav]

We can start over if you like!! It has got a little confusing!

[smkie]

I wish it were a dream...one that i could have over and over again. to meet this little dog only once in my life , just isn't enough.

[bubbatd]

Please do !!!!!!! I think we started off fine and then it became "the next person"....I was ready to bring the blond with the rabbit, to a golden who got out of his cage....anywho.....I think it's a great idea and we do have the talented people to illustrate the book!!! Let's be creative and serious! Fun time too !

[smkie]

nobody like my start? Try another

[Purr]

I wish it were a dream...one that i could have over and over again. to meet this little dog only once in my life , just isn't enough.

This magical little dog called

[bubbatd]

..." Genie" came up to me when I was strolling along a creek near....

[Purr]

my house. He was underweight, and filthy, but you could see his spirit in his eyes.

[bubbatd]

He sat at my feet, his little tail wagging and give me his ....

[Gustav]

feeble bark, I looked down at him in pity and I knew that.....

[necterine0]

i had to help this precious little guy. I gently reached down and....

[Purr]

...touched his head. He barked again, and...

[necterine0]

looked at me as if to say,please take me home with you and love me. So....

[Purr]

...I picked him up, and he layed his head on my arm gratefully as....

[necterine0]

we made our way home.After arriving home i put him into a warm bath and cleaned him up. And after...

[bubbatd]

drying him off with a soft towel.....

[Renee750il]

he looked into my eyes and I heard a voice speaking softly in my head say; "You've given me my most longed for wish, now I can grant you your most heartfelt wish. All you hve to do is look in my my eyes and think of the desire dearest to your heart."

Stunned, I closed my eyes for a moment, when I opened my eyes again, little Genie was looking back at me with big, soft, round brown eyes. I looked back at him and

[necterine0]

started smothering him with kisses. He gave me sloppy kisses back and we played for about an hour. Then....

[smkie]

i felt the greatest sensation of peace. Things had been hard for a long time. I coulnd't remember the last time i felt this way. The little dog had

[Gustav]

filled such a huge gap in my life, I was so contented that.....

[bubbatd]

....turned on some music and started to dance around the room...Genie started to do a little dance too ! Stepping from one paw to the other and....

[Purr]

...barking playfully. This was a special little dog, you could tell when....

[bubbatd]

suddenly the door bell rang.

[bubbatd]

...and .....

[Renee750il]

when I opened the door, there was a tall soldier standing there. He looked at me and grinned and I threw myself at him gleefully. Genie was barking and jumping, not at all alarmed by this tall stranger. "You're home, you're home!" I shouted through my tears.

[puppylove05]

as she held it with one hand i could see in her eyes that she wanted me to pick her up................

[bubbatd]

(?) "Oh John" I said ....." I was wishing so hard this morning...." She couldn't finish..and turned to look at Genie who seemed to be grinning from ear to ear. The wish ..

[smkie]

was that i could be happy again..that i could feel my heart at peace..and today was just a miracle for me. This little dog has

[bubbatd]

brought my number 1 love back home to me. My joy sank though when John looked at Genie and said...........

[Gustav]

"what is that dog doing here? You know I don't like dogs!!" I looked at him with something close to horror, he said "get rid of it or i'll...........

[Purr]

..."I'll get rid of it myself!" I was absolutely mortified. I couldn't even find words as I...

[Barb04]

picked up Genie and said "John, since you've been gone, Genie has come into my life and made so happy, just look into her eyes and you will see the magic happen. Give Genie a chance; she will love you like no other, besides me" That is when John....

[Adrienne]

broke down and explained that ever since he was little and lost his beloved dog to a car accident he just hadn't been able to open his heart to another dog, but...

[bubbatd]

...... he'd let Genie stay, as long as she didn't try to win him over. He couldn'y give his heart to.......

[Purr]

...a dog, after all. Well, that didn't last long, because soon after John came home...

[Adrienne]

I had to run out to do some errands and so he was left alone with Genie. When I got back he was like an excited little kid, Honey he said, you'll never believe this but....

[Purr]

...that dog you found...

[Gustav]

Is Magic!! Just look deep into her eyes and you can see ......

[Barb04]

the look I knew long ago from the only dog I thought I would ever love..

[smkie]

oh how i felt so good about John, so good about life, and everything in it. Before this little dog came into my life i was ready to throw it all away. Now..

[bubbatd]

John was home and I had my magic Genie !! A few weeks passed , and something magical happened again.! John and I were..............

[Gustav]

eating breakfast one morning, and I asked him what the date was he said "it's the 22nd, why?" I was shocked because.......

[smkie]

two years had gone by since we had the miscarriage....

[Gustav]

and since Genie had come into our lives I hadn't thought about it once. John looked at me curiously and said you look happier than you have in a long time I wonder if it has anything to do with...........

[bubbatd]

our magical friend here ? Maybe the three of us should..........

[Gustav]

take a picture together so we can remember how happy we are right now! I though it was a great idea and I rushed to get the camera, But the floor was wet and I ........

[bubbatd]

....knew I was going to take a hard fall as both feet slipped out from under me. I landed.......

[smkie]

fell right into John's arms...we laughed until we had tears in our eyes and our little Magic...

[bubbatd]

jumped around with glee . Suddenly John and I were in a deep embrace and,,,,,,,,,,

[BassetLover**]

he asked me if id like to try for another baby i didnt know at first but then i said....

[EliNHunter]

"Well, how about a ring on my finger first and what about your first five kids?" And he pushed me back a bit and stared into my eyes and said...

[bubbatd]

Boy !! Did you hit your head ??? You know we are married and I never have had any children!! Genie came up and licked my face....the room was spinning and I was so confused....and then I

[EliNHunter]

... realized the dog's name was "MAGIC", not Genie and that he was still shell-shocked from the war and didn't realized we weren't even married. And at this point...

[mrose_s]

something terrible happened, just around the corner a noise came... it sounded suspicously like..

[EliNHunter]

A vaccuum cleaner with something caught in its belt, so I...

[EliNHunter]

... all of a sudden sat bolt upright in my bed in a cold sweat realizing it had all been a dream. Yet, there was this sweet dog laying beside me sleeping so peacefully. That's when I...

[smkie]

Ahhh darn..everyone was doing so well too..i am confused. :confused: .maybe we can back up to where we lost the thread of the story...or u can just ignore me...that is ok too.. :D .i think we are all stumped! ;) This is a good story and should have an ending. :)

[bubbatd]

I'd like to go back too !!!! Let's block out ElinHunter......(I've already bashed her for her post ...LOL!!) Must have had a flash back !

[bubbatd]

P.S.....saw she tried to fix it, but it could be "broke". You move it on !!

[bubbatd]

pps....maybe she was knocked out so the other posts were a dream.

[Gustav]

I'm going to start again from here if that's ok with everyone?!! I think it was after this that we started to lose the plot a bit! :D

Boy !! Did you hit your head ??? You know we are married and I never have had any children!! Genie came up and licked my face....the room was spinning and I was so confused....and then I

Touched my hand to my face, and when I took my hand away it was covered in blood! John said "I think we'd better call an ambulance" I started to protest but ...........

[Desteny]

with blood all over my face, I knew it was probably for the better. John ran to get the phone, but...

[poeluvr]

he became a blurr....i couldn't see...i couldn't see
I woke up in a hospital..

[Gustav]

The doctor said to me "Welcome back!" I thought i'd only been unconcious for ten minutes but apparently I had been out for .........

[poeluvr]

a day or so...
"That was a doozy" John said. "I don't know why you think i caught you when you crashed into the floor but it's ok, we have another problem though..."

[Gustav]

I looked at Jon and said "what's that then?" he said "i'll tell you when you're a bit stronger." I said "NO you will tell me NOW!" He looked down at the floor and stammered out .............

[Ash47]

...Genie's pregnant...

[poeluvr]

"well thats not a big problem.."
"yes it is," said jon, we have 5 puppies and they're all diagnosed with.....

[kinda kookyee]

Compulsive Licking Disorder(CLD)What are we going to do with them when they get older. We cant just give them away to anybody. They must......

[Gustav]

live with people who understand and accept their condition! I sighed and said.....

[kinda kookyee]

"Well gee willy gosh"...Guess they are coming home with us...From the hospital bed came a big sigh of relief...I knew deep down you loved Genie...She Leaped up and.....

[poeluvr]

licked you all over.
