My mother passed away a few years ago. I kept one of the business cards
she designed for her wolfhound kennel. I was looking at it the other day
with my Optacon. I could see how she'd laid it out, and see the wolfhound
picture she'd put on it. I had thought it was only a head, but, when I
looked, I saw it was the whole dog. It was neat to look at the image, and
to look at something my mother had created.
