Very cute story. We have a cat named Spooky. At one time, she had no home and was living under a building that was about to be torn down. We rescued her in time, though. The month was October, near the American holiday of Halloween when people think of "spooks", "goblins", etc. Thus, her name Spooky.

I enjoyed your story. Don't listen to negative comments about it. It's the content of the story that matters, and I could tell that you love Spook very much. That's all that matters!

Jacinta, other people may not have the benefit of your education. BTW, do you mean "you're spelling wrong" in which case the adverb should be used instead of the adjective, or perhaps "your spelling IS wrong" in which case you (the Corrector) have omitted the crucial verb. If you're going to be a critic, you MUST NOT make the same errors as those you seek to correct.

This is such a lame story, and your spelling wrong- "wrighting", "fulling" as well as your title
