About

Ishy Creo is a retired college teacher. She lives in the Appalachian foothills on a farm where she writes, keeps bees, and makes soap. She lives with four rescue dogs, and an assortment of birds, and fishes. Her husband Jeff is a retired physician. Ishy and Jeff enjoy the same vices: attending auctions, antiquing, buying trees, and enabling each other’s weakness for ice-cream.

Petey is an American Bulldog who was rescued in 2013 from an abandoned trailer. He was in critical condition, weighing only 29 pounds, and was covered with the telltale wounds of dog fighting, abuse and neglect.

In his prime, Petey was a 90lb stud-muffin that enjoyed being vacuumed, barking into a full-length mirror and demanding punctual meals.
