Animals
Meet the Pets:
Animals are the foundation of my life. They ground me and serve as inspiration for my fiction stories and photography hobby. My son, Billy, has taken our family’s love of animals to another level as a veterinarian. Let’s meet the menagerie, past and present:
- Missy (Arabian), my first true love.
- My little editor, Jester (Brazilian Caique)
- Maggie and Java (Chestnut Canadian Sport Horse)
- Abilene and Moops (Holland Lops)
- Rosie (African Gray parrot), Hank, and our cat, Carlin
- Hank and Buddy (Labrador Retrievers)
- Molly (ferret)
- Hank with his favorite story (I’ve read this story to Hank every night since he was a pup!)
- Billy and our cockatiel, Hatchi
Wildlife:
