Tales of Tails was written to share the joy I experienced over a lifetime with animals. I have learned to love and respect them, whether they are domestic or wild. The book strives to give a voice to these animals and let them tell their story. Several of the tales show unseen relationships between animals that commonly exist in nature. Some of the tales are of animals I have treated as a Veterinarian of medical or surgical problems. Much can be learned from animals through the course of medical treatments. I enjoy sharing my animal lore stories with others through various nature hikes and conversations. The sketches were drawn by a friend who shares my love and respect of animals. Animals are a large part of her life, and she shares my respect for all on God's earth.
