Zoomorphism: the representation of animal forms in decorative art or symbolism.

Zoomorphism is alive and well here. Fish, cat, lamb, rog, and unruly reindeer Dwell in my home, smiling from walls that are peeling. If we could figure out how, they would be attached to the ceiling. We have lizards, seahorses, and dolphins decorating our bath. We would be plumb full if I cut these treasures in half. Oh, yes, zoomorphism reigns supreme in my house and my beautiful yard. Bumper stickers, clothing, dog’s sweater, and my new calling card.

I have animals every which way but loose. I never know what I will be lugging home.
