After my passion for food and photography, my great love is animals. I have and have ad a plethora of cats. At one time I also had a beautiful bearded dragon and a series of fish tanks. But I only had two great dogs, a gorgeous Belgian shepherd named Mookie and a wonderful Catahoula named Charlie, pictured here playing in the snow. The wasn't a sweeter and more loving animal. I miss him along with my other ex pets dearly. Only an animal lover can understand this.
