A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to donate a mural in Spay Mart’s new adoption center in their new store on Jefferson Highway! I’m so grateful for all that SpayMart does for kitties all across the Gulf South and is where I got my cat Butters from! 💗 Featuring the famous Redd the cat who survived getting hit by two cars earlier this year!

Sneak peek at Where Y’at Jockamo? My next children’s book that features my dog Jacques travelling around the state to different Louisiana Festivals! I’m thinking of doing a very limited run of
💗Jacques Festival Bandanas💗
To celebrate the launch of my next book! They’d probably be $25 and be similar to this design, although Jacques would be smaller. Would you purchase this or think others would?
Something I totally haven’t done before so wanting to ask before I jump! ☝️
(PS - yes, I’m getting Jacques plushies!!!)
