So, Breel might come back... But that would mean he would come back as a different person? Might not be worth it.

I'm glad things are going this way, and not the other way that would have allowed them to stick together.

Though something tells me this won't be a walk in the park for Breel.

Incarnate not REincarnate. He'd come back as the same person.

That does mean there must be some price to be paid given the negative reaction to it though. Maybe just the idea that Heaven is much better than Earth is enough? I suppose you'd have to be re-evaluated and might not get into Heaven the second time.

They're gonna resurrect Breel! Holy carp! This whole time I didn't think that was a serious possibility, and now it looks like it's actually happening!

probably what dakaggo said. Heaven is great and if you leave it you may not get back in. maybe it's harder to get in the second time.

Love conquers all, they say,
even the heart of the heavenly.
It breaks down the barriers;
Love fights most worthily.
Deeper than desire, this feeling,
more powerful than any army;
more passionate than any flower,
more insane than the barmy.
Some give their life for love,
others give their soul.
Breel gives up his life above
for one whose heart was once a hole.

...Or, just maybe, once again that tricky ol' nine-tails planned this little match-making trick as part of the grand scheme. Kitsune is a bit of a romantic!

...and, hey, one of our gang thought a Kitsune-Cerberus date might be a good pairing. Well, here's s real "ice-breaker", eh? Nice call, chum!

Keene really dried off quickly. It's quaint how being super rich doesn't mean a thing when trying to keep Breel by your side. I wonder if Cerberus took the other celestials back on schedule or if she let the huskies have some snuggle time like what she did with Breel. interesting they would discourage incarnating since when Duke voiced he wished he was dead so he could be like Breel, he said they try to discourage that too.
Since it took more than one google search, I'm including my explanation of the strip title (blacked out because as Dessension says, "never explain the joke"): Con carne is a phrase in Spanish put at the end of the name of a dish that normally doesn't have meat in it to indicate that in this case it does have meat. Marta is Spanish for Breel's species, pine marten. If he incarnates, he would be a marten that has meat (a body) when he otherwise wouldn't, so the joke is the phrase would be applicable, even when not talking about food.

I think the loose demon would be a better argument. as in since they have one of theirs here, we should leave one of ours. Then we avoid all the issues with returning to mortality and Keene still gets to be touched by an angel.


I also have to wonder, three heads, one collar. Is Cerberus 2/3 naked like a big ole Celestial tease or is the collar a mark of who is the dominant head? Either way I think she is one of the prettier female characters in the Housepets world.

I'm expecting it to be a bad procedure... unless bad is just going back to Earth where you got these things called trains and pains.

If this is the solution, then i'm sort of expecting the heavenly huskies to pull this kind of thing. Rufus? Nah, he just wants to see Grandkids. Mwahaha.

I always assumed Cerberus wore a collar because her Grecian model was often shown collared and restrained, and just one on the middle head for balance. Still, why? None of the dog souls in Heaven wear collars.

Being a stickler for rules and protocols, Cerb's response likely arises from an "It's complicated" visceral reaction you'd expect from a mid-level bureaucrat. We'll just see.......

GET IN THE CAR, NATE sounds like GET INCARNATE - which Breel wants to do - and references the face that 'mom' is here to drive her kids (the angelics) home to Heaven.

More thoughts on Cerberus

Is she one being or three?

When Keene was in the Dream Pool in Heaven and slipped away, one head did say "One of us has to keep an eye on our charges." suggesting individuality. In the one shot one head decides she needs glasses and the centre head disputes it say "I do not need glasses." That suggests connection, but the third head sees the fallen pet (Tiger?) and says "We may need to take him anyway" suggesting the other two heads are not aware of what she sees.

One person or does each head have a brain and mind of its own? Or are they individuals with that odd mind meld thing identical siblings are rumored to have?

One person, or the best way to date triplets?

Discuss.

Further muddling the issue, anytime someone refers to Cerb it's in the singular, as in one person, not several.

Aww, it's so sad see Keene so sad... :( Who ever could say that before? :P Breel is an angel, he doesn't belong to Earth, indeed. His was a temporal staying. :| An incarnation deal? That's a very nice idea, it should be possible. :) Can Great Kitsune do that?

PS: in the second panel, there's a small colouring error done with one of Breel's chest fur tufts, which has the same light blue color of the background.

There was one patreon art where King and Cerberus switched place. King is now a Cerberus as in a three-headed dog deity while mortal Cerb is just one being. Make of what you will.

It's starting to feel a bit too ... not sure what the term I am looking for... Deus ex machina-ish? Mary-Sue-ish? Regardless, feels like it's taking a bit too much of the easy route and being a bit TOO happy if people can just choose to come back from the dead like that. Being very loose with the rules of even letting the dead be with the living again for extended periods of time already felt a bit too perfect.

May have been a bribe or reward for signing on. Help keep the mortals from doing damage with the mana and you can live again, if that is what you want.
