Second ARC contest results!

To the surprise of absolutely no one, and despite strong showings by poodles and doll collections, the winner of the second ARC of One Salt Sea is ladyaraia and her massive group photo recreation of book three! Congratulations, and please get me your contact information by Sunday evening, through the form on my website, or another winner will be selected.

Thanks to everyone who participated, and I'll be opening the next contest on Monday.

Congrats, ladyaria! That was a well-deserved win. Your photos were awesome.

I still want to fuzzle Risu.

That just proves you have some sanity in you. Risu is a complete and total sweetheart, and knowing I have her to snuggle and pet and pamper warms my cynical heart.

For a while, she would whine and fuss and kick if I picked her up, so I started teaching her that being picked up yields treats, then that being carried around means treats, then that being picked up, carried around and being put back down without growling, hissing, or whining yields treats. So she has trained me to come over to her when she's standing on something at waist height, or to bend down if she stands on her hind legs with her paws up like a toddler asking to be picked up. So I scoop her up, snuggle and pet her, then put her down gently and dispense treats.

This works out well for both of us, actually, because it is SO CUTE to be a party to.
