For sdPets magazine, another subsidiary of the San Diego Union-Tribune, I pitched and wrote stories, as well as designed many ads. It was great fun and I had some very interesting interviews with people including John Dilworth, creator of “Courage the Cowardly Dog,” which aired on Cartoon Network for a few years, and author Stacey O’Brien, who wrote the wonderful true story: “Wesley the Owl: The Remarkable Story of an Owl and his Girl.” I also interviewed Pat Wright, the head of San Diego‘s Ferrets Anonymous about the bizarre reasons California still has not legalized ferret ownership (the only other state is Hawaii), and his continued lobbying for their legalization and Marna Schindler, a wonderful local artist who specializes in pet portraiture.
