A great loss for our novella ecosystem. I have loved each and every Psychopomp novella that I have read and made drinks for them too. Sorry to see this end, hopeful to see it reemerge some day.

The World’s Goodest Boy(👇) was half Pyr, and I cannot recommend the breed/mixes enough. Friendly, lazy, easy-going nature and usually great with kids (as well as other animals). If you have room in your heart and your yard - take a chance on one of these good boys/girls. You won’t find a better dog.

This is the first time this phantom of the deep sea has been captured on camera! The extremely elusive abyssal ghost shark dwells at depths up to 8500 feet (2600 meters), and scientists have been unable to capture on camera - until now.
