I love my furry companions, just as those reading this do.
So, I thought - wouldn’t it be nice to combine my admiration for animals, my love for writing, and my creative outlets while supporting fellow artists and authors?
In this section of Ramblings From the Little Shed, I aim to highlight peers pursuing their artistic passion and who have an animal story to share.
I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember. I melt at the sight of two eyes and a fluffy tail, and I wish I could save them all. During my formative years, I rescued kittens from ditches and imposed puppies on my parents. Nothing has changed in my adult life.
I currently have a barn cat named Willow, who keeps a watchful eye on our property, along with two senior rescue dogs, Cash and Sully.
Cash is the energetic and surprisingly playful senior, while Sully is the quiet shadow who captured my heart.
Stay tuned for Part I when I introduce Cash.
Do you have a two- or four-legged friend who has left an unforgettable paw print on your life? I'd love to hear about them in the comments or feature them in an upcoming piece!



Ahhh I'm crying at their faces! My son was a dog from the local shelter. I raised him from under a year old until we let him go in our arms at 13 1/2 years old. This was 2021 I can't even talk or think about him without tears. I love seeing pics of people's four-legged hearts!
(Also I found you through Sarah's bootcamp VIP--I had her on my podcast and I'm keeping up with the replays!)
I love this idea! I have a cranky old black cat named Maximus that loves to scream, but only when I'm busy doing something (like trying to write). I also have a very loving and happy four year old lab puppy named Elke. I call her a puppy because she's so happy and energetic that when we're in public, everyone assumes that she's still in her puppy stage, and when I tell people that she's actually four, they're always surprised. She'll always be a puppy to me, though.
