Remembering

Mags and I just want to take a moment here on Memorial Day and remember all the dogs that served in war through-out U.S. History.

Here are just a few hero's there are many more!

Stubby - Bull Terrier Mix - February 1918 he roused a sleeping sergeant to warn the platoon of a gas attack. The soldiers were able to put on masks, they all survived including Stubby :)

Smoky - 4 pound Yorkie - In WW II disassembled communication wires under a Fighter plane Taxi Strip leading to a protected area. This 3 day job took 5 minutes for this dog to climb through 4 inch piles of sand, and a drainage culvert to take out the wires. Smoky saved the planes from being exposed to bombing.

Thank you, to all the Heroic Dogs that have Saved us all!

All About Me

My photo
Jill illustrates greeting cards and works at an Animal Medical Hospital in Arizona. Her love for animals can be seen in every drawing she has ever done. It wasn’t until Jill and her husband Paul adopted Maggie & Sam (2 crazy cats) from the Humane Society that Jill created the Maggie & Sam Collection. All of Maggie and Sam’s personalities as well as their friends have been captured in Jill’s work. In every illustration you will see humor, and love through her characters’ eyes. Jill has been selling her cards in local Arizona Stores. However, being passionate Jill wanted to create a website that would bring people together to talk about their pets, share their stories and to interact with other pet lovers. They will be able to learn new and interesting facts about the various animals pictured on the greeting cards, read their pet’s horoscope, and send personal messages to their friends and families at any time via e-mail.
