Loved this and looking forward to more. You meet the most amazing people in the desert southwest. Reminds me of the lady (?) running a little cafe on Hwy 10 in Gila Bend. The name of that place sets the tone, doesn't it?
LOL! Right? Although being out in the middle of nowhere, miles away from another human gave her special pet relationship a lot of credence. Especially when I read years later about a guy who had a pet Wolverine. And then there's my wife who's managed to make friends of the Blue Jay, the Hummingbird and the Rabbit who hang out in our backyard, ...much to my dog Zeke's consternation.

Excuse my language, but the only thing I could think when I read she fed the badger holding a hit dog between her teeth was, "Holy shit!"
I love the illustration and story, this sounds like my kind of book!
It's great. The badger lady comes alive. I wish you had waited to see the badger back then.

Gravy Davey, I need you to refresh my memory on all the weirdos you introduced me to over the years. :)
I will look forward to these stories! This first one was just perfect to open my interest in all the people you’ll be portraying!
They're probably watching a nature show together.
