The Hard Times of an Artistic Animal Lover
Mikko It has been a tough summer when it comes to my animals. Our beloved shiba inu Mikko left us, and tomorrow our sweet cat Tiger is crossing over the rainbow bridge. She has cancer. There is nothing to do but not make her suffer any longer. Tiger has had a short but eventful life. She is a five-year-old former barn cat from my daughter's farm.

Brave Old Blue is about a horse that is taken in by a horse rescue and little girl name Bobby. Through love and kin
