A LOCAL HABITATION ARC giveaway #2!

It's time to get ready for the second A Local Habitation ARC giveaway of the season! Yaaaay! Now that we've all flailed around like Muppets on an electrified floor for a few minutes, here's the way this particular giveaway is going to work:

1. Get a camera.
2. Get a copy of Rosemary and Rue.
3. Get a pet.
4. Combine.

This contest, originally suggested by The Agent, is simple: take pictures of your pets (or the pets of someone else you know) hanging out with a copy of Rosemary and Rue, and submit them here. All pets are eligible. Cats, dogs, pythons, spiny African flower mantises, whatever you have and trust with your book, they're all invited to this party.

Be creative. Be dramatic. Have fun. Do not allow your Burmese python to swallow your book (it would be bad for the snake). Post your pictures here; after Thanksgiving, we'll open to voting, and winners will be selected. Winner #1 will get their choice of an ARC of A Local Habitation or a signed cover flat of A Local Habitation. Winner #2 will get whatever winner #1 didn't select, that being the way we roll around here.

Let me know if you have any questions, and game on!

Hera (the Hermit Crab) and Rue -- the shot I was planning to get all along


Lucciana and Rue (Lucci is my sister's cat, named after Pavarotti, for her love of, um, singing)


Lulu and Rue (my stepfather's cat - an action shot!)


And last but not least (especially in the by pound category), Arf and Rue (Arf Baisch, King of the Dogs... and yes, that's what his tags say... blame my husband). The inaction shot, as it were :-P

All of these are great, but let's be honest: I love it mostly for Hera. What a cool shell!

Hera is an awesome hermit crab. She's friendly, she's enormous, and yeah, she has great taste in shells. She started out in a smaller shell of the same variety. I gave her a few options in the next size, and she stuck with the same type. Hestia is our other crab, and while she's more outgoing than most, definitely not as outgoing as Hera. We've made three attempts at getting a third hermit crab for our tank, but three strike outs. We're thinking two will do.
