Careless Mothers
2009 May 1
This driver was half under the bus making strange noises…
We stopped to check.
He wriggled out grinning sheepishly. Another man crawled out from under the bus and ran behind it,
…chasing a tiny brown blur.
He returned breathless, holding the over-excited blur…
“Nearly got run over!” (Tenderly).
He was thanked with a thorough face-clean-up!
Based on a true incident 
55 WORDS FICTION
A literary work 
will be considered 55 Fiction if it has:
Fifty-five words or less (A non-negotiable rule)
A setting, One or more characters, Some conflict, and A resolution.
(Not limited to moral of the story)
Now that has to be a dog! What say, IHM?
Surbhi Absolutely!! YOU are the first to guess!!!!
… I thought about whether or not to commit by replying in yes or no to your comment, thinking that will take away the fun of guessing
awww…..so darn cute IHM
loved it!
made me smile
A nice short story! Sure made me smile.
Thank You Badz!!! Do you like dogs?
Aw, a darling little puppy dog. Hain na?
Yes, a little Puppy!! And two crazy tenderhearts
Right! Too darned sweet. Lovely 55 er, IHM. Loved it!
Usha Pisharody this really happened! Can you believe those two guys, they were really so sweet, I thought ok fine the world’s not so bad either!!
Yes indeed, when you say that it really did happen, it gives one a sense of pleasant disbelief in that wow! the world isnt all that bad as its touted to be sometimes
I knew you would feel this way Usha Pisharody
is this fiction ?
then lets have that as a rabbit !!
lovely 55′er !
Just one of those nicer things you see, which warm your heart…
LOL, Fact not fiction, HW
“He was thanked with a thorough face-clean-up!”
Aww….hope it was a puppy
Yes, it was a small, very small puppy
….Solilo and those guys had earned the face clean up 
Cho chweet! Can I get the pup? One more wont harm us
Gosh one more set of muddy foot prints to clean!!
Feed a stray pup instead!!!
so this should be called a ‘55 word fact’ IHM..did you try writing a ‘355 word fact’ yet?I bet you cannot do that, it needs a lot of experience.. haha..:-)!!
Yeah yeah, you cheat yourself and encourage others also to cheat Chikki !! But I like the idea, 355 words will give so much more freedom to write!!
My God! I thought you hadnt been writing. Why am I not getting your posts in my feed reader? YOu changed your feed?
This feed thing confuses me!! Now the blogspot feeder stopped sending updates the day I imported from there!! Even though I continued to update both the blogs initially!!I had to change to a feeder for this blog…(still mixed up) I wish there was a way to avoid that!!
Oh yes, you did, this is wordpress blog! Phew!
How do you like this one?
… I am taking my own time settling down here!!
Did it pee on him?
hehe
LOL lOL Little puppies peeing is also like little babies, it’s like not good, but chalega
Nice one.
pssst.. one more addition to the book. one more step closer to being millionaires! I’ve already spent half the money
lol
Masood!!!
That was the cutest!!!!
These guys were really sweet, if they had not stopped the bus that pup would have definitely died that day.
awww… thats such a sweet story…
do u have pups btw..???
Oh yeah Aneesha, I do , two full grown pups
They never grow up in some ways 
!!!
heya!!
face clean up
i have a pug in my wishlist
They are cute Richa but they are a huge responsibility! Think a lot before you get one, they need company more than everything else, and lots of maintenance!! And all our holidays have to planned around them!! Much as I love them I feel we are totally tied down because of them!!
let it be the hutch
cute cute
It was a pup, a very tiny one, tottering while running.. these guys were like angels!! God bless them!
awwww…how cute… has to be a puppy nah…
Yeah a very small puppy
just today aft was wondering to myself that the 55er fever seems to have died down in the blogosphere,
and here u are…smashing… lady.
lol
Imp’s Mom… for now I am addicted to 55ers 
Very interesting. I have undergone face clean ups….Nice….
You have dogs at home Sandhya? I am also subjected to some face clean-ups on and off
Aw man!! IHM this was sweet…imp-ish
This had made me have faith in humanity… these guys took so much trouble, that impish pup was determined to have dangerous fun, but they caught him.
this story may not have any ending in my opinion.but its really written in a tactful way. nice!!!
learn a lot from you mam…
Tushar all we know is the kind of people who crawled under their bus to save this imp’s life were not going to just leave him to die again
I wanted to offer them some money but I thought they might feel insulted.
That was shhoo cute
I did the tag, a little late though!

Indyeah okay all right, if you insist ….
(lol pssst only hitchwriter can imagine a rabbit giving a face clean up lol lol lol)
How can it be a rabbit….. It can only be a pup!!!! I love dogs!!!!!!
As human companions dogs and cats are the best!! They like to live with us : D
All other animals are better off in their own habitat, including fish, rabbits, parrots etc.
i was trying to make it seem like fiction… !!! and this is what I get…
yeh zaalim blog samaj… neki ka to zamana hi nahi raha !

Do adopt a homeless pup if you do bring home a pup!!
