Sunday Salutations: Memorial Day and Dante's Birthday
Remember Monday is Memorial Day. Yesterday was Dante's birthday! And welcome to the first of the new Sunday Salutations.
Memorial Day
Monday is Memorial Day. Remember to honor those who died serving American in her armed forces. And give thanks to those currently serving and our veterans.
Dante Turns 2.0
Dante looked at Beleth. Shock spread instantly over his Mini American face.
“My birthday? I get one of those too?”
Beleth nodded back. “Yes. Any big plans for your birthday?”
Dante’s butt wiggled as he thought. “I think first, I’ll chew on my new antler.”
“And then… I’ll take a nap.”
Beleth nodded. “That sounds good. Maybe we can get the smaller monkey to nap with us.”
Crokell looked up from the corner. “She will. She loves naps.”
Sunday Salutations
This is one of our new-style short posts. We are concentrating on more long form stories - so stay tuned for news on that!
Starting in June, on the first Sunday of each month, we will post a short story from Carter and the Holidays, as everyone’s favorite Landseer Newfie works his way through the calendar.
The once a month short is the only promise - that and our standard promise that the dog (or other furry, cute pet-like critter) never dies in our stories.
The following weeks might have a short post like today’s or a recipe. When inspired, you might also see the return of Leash Lessons and other segments.

We’re pleased to see our fellow Alpha Mercs joining us: Zane Voss, Sam Robb (the first anthology we were in was also with Sam), B.K. Gibson (who also gave great developmental feedback during edits https://coldlightrpgpress.weebly.com/), and Nathaniel McIntyre.
We think our story has the most interesting one liner in the announcement:
“Family Honor” by A. Kristina Casasent, featuring a Ring Against the Wolf, tells the story of a Tirenean nobleman struggling with the challenge of producing an heir with his new wife.
