Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem.

My best friend Sunny and me, at the Illinois state fair. I am holding a baby goat and we are smiling.Me at the Illinois state fair, smiling and holding a baby crocodile. His jaws are taped shut.Me in the water (at age 15) with a Bottlenose dolphin at Sea World, San Diego. My arms are wrapped around the dolphin.Me at a pet store hugging a baby bassett hound tightly to me and smiling.Me at the Long Beach Aquarium with a lorikeet on my head and one and my arm.Me laying my head down on the head of my boxer, Cassius. It is a very close-up shot of his head and nose.Me holding my baby Bearded Dragon, Leeloo in my hands.Me sleeping in bed with my Chihuahua mix, Reese. She is buried under the covers with me and peeking her head out.I am crouched down on the floor of my apartment, next to a friend's Bassett Hound that is laying on her side. I am petting her belly. A ray of sun is shining on us.A larger picture of me cuddling with my parent's boxer, Katie. We are entangled in each other, lying on the floor. There is a "Rest in Peace 2001-2008" inscription on the photo because she was recently put down. There is a red border around this photo to emphasize its importance.Rest in Peace, Katie2001 - 2008
