Reply to comment by Lifedeath999 in I adopted a dog. I think her previous owner wants her back. by voiddoggie

I can't think of any rational reason why Charon would have the obols (coins) in place of his own eyes, except maybe symbolically. And why would Cerberus seem so disquieted by his arrival? I hope OP discovers more. Sounds like something fishy has been going on in Hades, something that might negatively impact the rest of us mere mortals. I'd also be interested in hearing the results of the proposed vet visit and specifically which loony bin he/she is eventually consigned to afterwards. OP, please keep Kirby / Κέρβερος safe. Something strange is amiss.

Maybe Hades sent a soul to retrieve his dog for him? That might explain the eyes. It could also explain why Cerberus doesn’t want them to come in. He has a job after all, stop dead souls from passing through the threshold he Guard’s (in this case OP’s door.) I dunno, just spitballing.

Memphian here and huge Big Star fan. Did you really sing for Alex or is that a clever username?

Haha, nah I don't think I ever attempted to sing in his presence (and his spirit is probably still thanking me). One time he left a sung message on my answering machine - does the reverse count? My username was a rushed and poorly thought-out choice that I promptly regretted. I'd already used up all my good usernames over the years here - including daisy_glaze - and was probably listening to that Replacements song when I made the account. Or maybe this really happened. :)

Anyway, great to meet a fellow fan! Alex was absolutely amazing on so many levels...

Makes sense. And the biting could be his way of making sure the guests are all alive?
