"Howdy again, mam,” said the vaguely familiar cowboy. “I see that you've opened your zoo."

“That is true,” agreed Amanda. “We have.”

“Yep, I figured as much,” said the vaguely familiar cowboy, squinting at a pas de deux in the fleas' Swan Lake. “Seeing as how you don't have a real whole lot of attractions in your show, I thought you might be interested in buying this here dog.”

“What dog?” asked Amanda fairly, for there was truly no canine in evidence.

“That's the novelty of him, mam. He's invisible.”

Amanda looked about for some sign of doggy activity. “You see,” explained the semifamiliar cowboy, “my nephew came back from San Francisco last week a-fixing to go in business for himself. He buried two thousand capsules of that LSD out by the corral. Well, our ol' dog he dug up that acid and ate it all, two thousand doses. Six hundred thousand micrograms. We figgered for sure he was gonna die. But that ol' hound commenced to glow and get ghostly foggy-looking and get harder and harder to see and pretty soon he just disappeared altogether. Entered another dimension, my nephew tells it. Here Cheny, here boy.” The vaguely familiar cowboy stooped down and began to pet the air.

Amanda wouldn't give any money for the invisible dog, but she did offer to trade for him four of her wishes and three of her dreams.
