Nikki McDonald level-classic September 20, 2011 0

Wonderfully conceived and executed, Melinda. This is adorable. I love his expression! and that the mouse is running away from him but he's still scared. LOL indeed -- great theme entry. #9681825

Mitch Spence level-classic September 20, 2011 0

That is terrific, Melinda. The idea and the execution. You can't beat the perfect look of fright and astonishment. And it is inspired, I think, to give us just that look of Mr. Mouse's backside. #9681828

Melinda F. Schneider level-classic September 20, 2011 0

Thank you, Amanda and Nikki!
Yes, it reminds me of the old joke about women and mice. That even if the mouse is skittering away, just its presence is enough to make a woman scream. And the sight of this mouse, no matter what direction it is heading, no matter that it is clearly more afraid of the dog and skeddaddling away just as fast as it can, has the dog in quite a TIZZY! #9681837

Joy Rector September 20, 2011 0

Lol, Melinda, you did a fabulous job with this!! Too funny, everything about it you got just right. Just the tail end of the mouse to give us a hint of what is going on. And that expression on the dog is great... priceless!! HTD!! #9682031

Thorry is just 2 years old and makes me laugh daily. He must be getting over his fears; yesterday he caught a rabbit. #9682646

Graham Robards September 21, 2011 0

Oh my goodness Melinda this is the funniest thing I have ever seen.

Priceless, clever and I am sure the clear winner at 101 and BP too!
