ZOOLATRY ~ THROUGH THE YEARS

     Having posted here at Zoolatry now for eighteen years, there are few things that have been "a constant".  For everyone, life changes and we all change with it. Our story is no different than many others.  Beloved pets have shared our life, and left us when their time here came to a close.  We have lost dear family, we have lost good friends ~ some within the pet community we've come to know and care for over these years. But with joy we have made new friends!  We have moved from south to north, several times.  We've grown old, well ~ older, in body but hopefully not too much in spirit or mind!  
    Many who were part of the early days of this journey are not here to thank, but we'll say thank you nonetheless.  Without all who've been a part of Zoolatry ~ helped us become who we are, do what we do, and give us the confidence to keep going, share a kind word, reach out in friendship and support ~ we'd not be here.  So it does not matter if you stopped by eighteen years ago, or last week ... thanks, thanks so much.

The story began in Florida, and Zoolatry was home to

two little Himalayan kitties ~ Maggy and Zoey.

Chapter Two, found Zoolatry living in Maryland, after dramatic life 

changes many years later.  We were with family, and the focus of Zoolatry

became our wonderful grand-pet, Dougie Dog.

In most recent years, now living elsewhere in Maryland, 

little June was adopted, during the pandemic, 

and together we have built a new life.

     I had said there was "no constant" over our years here, but that is not quite true.  For me, photography and what I've always called "photo-art" has been a constant.  Even at the start of Zoolatry, I worked with earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop (5.0 at that time) and still prefer that program today, though it is now Creative Cloud, a much higher version and one I admittedly barely know or use 10% of!  The other "constant" for Zoolatry, was to regularly/monthly change our blog headers.  So we chose to post a series of headers here, as a way to scroll through the years ~

    We've had the privilege and fun of doing "photo-art" for many other pet bloggers as well ~ headers, cards and more ~ and also creating the basic design of the current Cat Blogosphere.  And the honor of remembering our beloved pets who cross their Rainbow Bridge with our FOREVER MEMORY images.  This has been our part of the broader pet community, for which we are thankful.  It's doubtful we'll be here another eighteen years, but however many may be gifted to us, we hope to continue to share them with you.
