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!

Okay, you'll have to squint a little, but they're the first elements of the present-day velociraptor army, being indoctrinated for eventual Seanan command. The blonde one's name is Buffy. :-)

I miss having hens. What type(s) do you have? We have raccoon, fox, and coyote problems, so have given up until we feel up to building the Fort Knox of coops and runs.

These are actually communal chickens -- they live at the local community garden site that my wife supervises. We've built a small coop in the backyard at our house, too, but I think we're going to give the winter wet a miss and wait until spring before we populate it. The smaller of the two chickens in the photos is Houdini, the amazing escape chicken (breed unknown), and Buffy, her loyal second-in-command, who's a Buff Orphington hen. And they were both deeply suspicious of the whole picture-taking operation. I'm glad they entertained. :-)
