So my friend 'Nathan is having a contest over on his Facebook page where people can win a copy of one of the anthologies where his work appears. (He's got quite a few, you know.) As it happens, we are in an inordinately high number of these together. You might think it's a conspiracy, even.
But any rate, to explain the picture above: the first entry received for this contest was of someone's cat, and 'Nathan, an avowed ailurophile (though I suspect his stance is simply to throw us off his dog-loving ways), claimed that cats must be more literate than dogs.
Dakota would beg to differ. As you can see, he likes to curl up with a good book as much as anyone.
