As a child, the author had raised Samoyed dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and was even active in horseback riding. Later, she even raised seahorses while attending college. She then met, married, and lived in Spain with her husband for 12 years, before moving back to the USA. While in Spain her beloved pets included more dogs, cats, ducks, chickens, turkeys, geese, a piggy, a peacock, sheep and beautiful ponies. Now her pets include Chihuahuas, a parrot, rabbits and a cat. It’s no wonder that her first and now her second book, should be photographs of her special pets living in a reality world.
