Guest Post
Some writers are born with animals, some writers have animals thrust upon them. I had both. I grew up in 4-H and raised goats and pigs; 30 years later I married an “animal enabler” who owned 14 acres of ground, and we were off. My mid-life crisis involved farrowing pigs, milking goats, horribly obnoxious turkeys, lovable cattle, a goofy horse, dogs and cats living together et. al.
This is why I never criticize men who just choose to go with the Ferrari.
But in between my early and late animal encounters, I became a writer. And being a writer, there is always this niggling urge—it’s more than that; “compulsion” would be the more accurate word—to write about critters. I suspect there are actual 12-step programs designed to help writers who have become powerless to control the urge. But I haven’t stumbled upon one yet, so I remain addicted to the many phases of animalistic personalities that have given me so much personal and professional satisfaction.
