Today at work I got to meet and photograph all of our therapy animals for an article I am writing.  There were a ton of them… everything from hissing cockroaches to a chinchilla, and they were all so sweet (even the skunk). 

There was one little critter that stole my heart (don’t tell Kirpi!) and I think I [...]
