Hi my name is Mary-Lee Sanders/Marie-Lee Sanders (pour les amis francais), I love creating, animals and travel.
I was born on a farm in rural Quebec (Saint Anicet, now if you find that on a map you're good) and I think that's where my love and respect for animals began. As a child, I was always surrounded by dogs, cats, cows, sheep, chickens, geese ... to me they where simply, friends. I remember a cow called Whity, who became a good friend, she would walk to the house each morning to greet us, let us ride her, you could just tell she had bonded with us. My dogs Dixie and Dutchess, both German Shepherds, where my confidantes, sisters, great pals and to this day I still morn their loss. My cat Mistigri, who was bottle raised, would follow me everywhere: poor girl, I would dress her in doll clothes and push her around in my doll carriage. She was my baby.
Today, I live in a small town and I feel very saddened when I hear that shelters in Canada and the US are overflowing...Seems to me that's no way to treat a friend. So I decided to help, if only in a small way and yes of course I have 3 furry friends living with me at the moment; Einstein (A timid older fellow), Charlie (the wild child) and Johnny Cash (smart as a whip, very vocal and quite the trouble maker).
I have a Bachelors degree in Visual Arts from Laval University in Quebec City.
NB: On request from some of my friends, I've added some photos. I'm by no means a photographer but since I was on the road for 15 years (before digital cameras where around) I thought: why not ? if it helps than, what the heck...
