I've been working on doing something with these guys for a decade! They've all been through countless design, name and even species changes. I should totally draw them more!

Have you met Jerry? He’s a cuter-than-cute character in Through Any Storm – A Dickens Holiday Romance.
Friday Fun Fact… Jerry is based on a REAL fur baby. In fact, he belongs to one of my rescue friends. ❤️ #booksky #behindthebook #fridayfun #animalcharacters #guineapigs #rescuelife #animalrescue
