Why Banjo?

971705_10152914134925721_802838239_nMy pen created his face again.  A face that we haven’t see in nearly a year now. But it’s one we see a lot in our head and heart. I drew Banjo for the first time in a while Saturday. A new book has begun.

Asked Amy, “Should we do this book based on Pip? It only seemed fair. She’s our dog now. And she’s a sweet (if feisty) girl.”

Amy sat for a second and I could hear the wheels turning. And then she said something very wise.

“Banjo was a rescue. He had an amazing will to live. That will inspired us to live our lives to the fullest. This is a book about dreams. About being what you want to be in your life. It’s only right that we honor his life well-lived with a book.”

So the book will be about Banjo.

And it will be out in the fall.

    Wow on two levels: to put a time line on a creative work and 2) to be so intentional in honoring Banjo

    Awesome! Banjo earned his stripes (and jeweled doggie bone in heaven), and he will continue to inspire not only your family, but all of us who grew to love him. Pip will have his time, too, along your journey. Looking forward to the book! Thanks, Ramsey family, for bringing us into your lives to be able to enjoy Banjo and Pip through your talent of story telling and art!
