My stories are filled with four-legged friends-- Stanley the sleek black cat, Grog the basset hound, and Rosie the chestnut mare, to name but a few--which may explain why so many of you have sent photographs of your animal companions to me. It seemed a pity to let those photos lie unseen in my email vaults, so I've decided to bring them into the light of day. Here, for your pleasure, is a portrait gallery of creatures, great and small, who warm our hearts, make us laugh, and are always there for us, no matter what. Please don't let the heading deter you-- feel free to send in a photo of your feathered, finned, or furry friend. In Aunt Dimity's world, all are welcome.
