Why Pets? For me, it’s about their contagious attitude.
We project the best of ourselves onto our pets, and they reflect back a version we’re happier living with. Not because we necessarily look any better; we still can’t fit into last years’ jeans or remember where we put our keys. But when you think about those problems through a dog's eyes... it’s easier to laugh about it.
Pets show us that people care too much about things that are hard to get. Animal wants, by contrast, are simple and good and refreshingly attainable. Around a cat, it’s ok if dinner is the most important thought of the day.
Pets spark great conversations. They say a lot without words.
Art does that, too.
Get crafting! These animal themed aprons are fun and functional protection for painting, baking, and mess-making of all sorts. Featuring some of my favourite paintings of cats, dogs and other pets and wildlife that have come across my path.
