"So why snakes?"
I get asked all the time, "So why Snakes?" and the answer to me is quite simple. I was struggling with life (Depression) and realised that I needed something to love (other than my partner at the time), I needed a reason to wake up in the mornings but I also knew that it was far too selfish for me to adopt a cat, dog or a bird that would require my attention and love on a daily basis. It was a difficult situation to be in because I wanted an animal to love but only when I was emotionally capable of giving it.

Butterfly Blessing
The day I met the Cinnabar Butterfly was an extraordinary summers day in North Yorkshire. After being couped up for too long with the COVID-19 lockdown, I decided to walk the 20 minutes or so to one of my local parks. At this stage in the lockdown people were only just allowed to have unlimited exercise time so I planned to spend the whole day there and make the most of the glorious weather. I also knew I needed to reconnect with nature in a big way. City dwelling is great for convenience and the modern lifestyle but for me there is nothing more fulfilling than walking barefoot in grass and hugging a tree. That was my mission for the day – I had nothing else to do and nowhere else to be.

So, I Got A Dog...
I missed my walks. I was used to walking through the Mountain Park near my house several times a week. I looked for the wildflowers in the warm months and watched for footprints in the snow in the cold. I gazed at the tops of hundred-foot pine trees, and I kicked rocks down the road. My fuzzy companion kept pace, stopping now and then to smell a bush or pee on a tree stump. Unfortunately, Cole Dog died. The little black dog that walked with me every day got old and tired, and I had to say good-bye. He was gone.

Itchy Pup? It’s Probably Not Their Food
It’s 3:00 in the morning and you wake up to the unmistakable sounds of scratching, licking, and chewing. Many owners’ first thought is to change their dog’s food, but more often than not that leads to spending more money on boutique diets that don’t address the problem.

My Shelter Dog
Trixie was a shelter dog, a mutt on death row when we found her at the pound and rescued her. The coloring and appearance is similar to a doberman pinscher, her body resembling that of a pit bull or bull mastiff, and of medium size, weighing in around 50-60 Ib. She had a few white hairs on her chest and snout. A dog that didn’t bark, she stood out from every other dog that raged around in their cages. Her eyes were brown and sad and her ears and attitude were perky, licking my face, giving me doggy kisses.
