The votes are in! Allison Chi of my ongoing WIP Complete Pantsing has adopted a retired greyhound dog named Bilbo Waggins. Bilbo is a very good boy, and Allison will bring him home soon.

Unfortunately, Allison is a fictional character, and cannot provide a home for one of these sweet creatures in real life. However, there are many ways to rescue a retired racing dog in the real world. Like Bilbo, these dogs are full of love and joy. You can find out more about greyhounds here and here.

Cheers!

XOXO,

“Never have I ever,” Nyx hiccuped, “ever gotten a piercing.”

“Really?” Lula’s eyes zoomed over Nyx’s whole body as if just now noticing.

“Nope. Too afraid of needles.”

Allison giggled, and took tiny a sip of apple juice. “I took half a drink,” she announced, “because I’m going to get my first earrings tomorrow.” Lula clapped her on the back with a “wooohooooo!” and Nyx howled.

“Okay, okay,” said Nyx. “Your turn.”

Allison paused. She then looked Lula dead in the eyes, because Nyx’s eyes were tipsy and unfocused. “Never have I ever,” she said slowly, “gotten out of bed when I see a night demon blocking the door. Even if I have to pee really badly.”

Lula flinched. Nyx’s facial muvscles quivered. “Well,” Nyx grasped at straws, “that’s not all bad. If – if you can see demons, it means you’re probably still dreaming so still asleep. I mean my vision’s not good enough to see that far in the dark. So if it were me I’d be dreaming and sleeping and run into a door frame if I got up.”

Allison took her glasses off and inspected them. “Yeah, me too, I guess.”

Lula swallowed air. “See, none of us are drinking. It’s normal to get scared.” There was an uncomfortable silence filled with easing and creaking, and Allison wondered how structurally sound the house actually was.

“Well,” said Nyx. “I guess we’ll actually have to time budget to all need to use the bathrooom-oom in the mornsings. It’s your turn, Lula.”

“You are bound in more ways than you know.”

Nyx awoke with a start, but there was no one in her room to be talking. Her hands trembled as she fumbled for her glasses, clumsy with her disease but clumsier with sleep. She twisted the switch on her bedside lamp, thrice, before her eyes adjusted enough to see that the cord had been severed. She became aware of her pulse, and she looked up as slowly as possible from the knife that stood straight as a lightning pole, buried in the lamp cord and carpet.

“Lula? Nyx?” Allison’s voice sounded nervous, and seemed to be coming from above. “Did the floor just move?”
