"It is painful to remember and picture the difficulties Maxx had while recovering. There were days when he barely could leave his stall to have the necessary hosing of his left hind leg. He would drag his leg, then look up begging to stop."
"Maxx is severely bitten by a rattlesnake. If he lives there is the possibility of the loss of his left hind leg. This is a true story about a young girl who gives him love, care, and music to help him perform again."

I have many fascinations. With art, with art history, with the history of other spheres; nature
and folklore and the workings of the mind and heart of mankind. Art offers one sphere in
which to explore them; in landscape and portraiture, the revisiting of famous and less famous works,
and the depiction of many other things out of the past and present.
Another method is writing poetry. Poetry, that is, as a form of storytelling, full of kings and
queens, shepherds and sailors, hobgoblins and fairies. And the occasional murder.
You can see me read my poems on my poetry page, or on Youtube here: @EllenACook
(I even do the accents. It's a marvelous time.)
