It’s relatively easy to classify birds into family groups based on physical characteristics. We sing about them, we paint them, we use them as mythic and poetic symbols for our spiritual and emotional feelings, we wear them in myriad and often colorful ways, we adopt them as household pets.

SEPTEMBER 3, 2013

Pets In Iraq – Excerpt from Mama & Boris. Starting with Casey and Arrow, our keepers in the woods, our family would keep cats and dogs. We both feel that even though we’ve never met these dogs, they’re ours, too; an extension of our family, someone to keep Peter smiling. Growing up, we always had animals.

In our house it’s not just the humans that get to celebrate Valentine’s Day (although, the pets don’t get to indulge in chocolate). We love to celebrate every kind of love, from friends to family, and of course the furry friends too. Just look at all the awesome Valentine Art you can choose from!
