Jamie the animal lover

After my grandpa passed away early September this year, his pet a soft-shell turtle was left alone at grandpa’s old house. We decided to give it away to someone who is kind.

By asking around, I got to know Jamie through a friend of mine. He was very interested in adopting this creature when he heard from his sister.

However, I will skip this part of the story.

The soft-shell turtle was transferred to Jamie’s house which seemed like a zoo to me. Jamie loves animals and adopting many animals including iguana, dog, geese, many kinds of turtle, fishes, and so on. He is full of compassion for these creatures. That was the reason we wanted Jamie to have the soft-shell.

Explaination of the iguana’s nature by Jamie

Surprisingly, I got to know Jamie is an art teacher. I had the chance to see some of Jamie’s artworks and was very impressed with them. One of those artwork, Jamie showed me the iguana  modelling he made from clay. It was looking so real that I was reluctant to touch it when I saw it. It took Jamie 3 months to complete this iguana.

The next thing Jamie showed me was the Spiderman wall painting which was about 1.5×1.5m in size on the wall. He did this because most of his students love Spiderman so much.There were some photos of the creative artworks shown by Jamie, and they were placed in Jamie’s art gallery. One day, I shall pay him a visit to his gallery and see more of his work and snap some photos.

I have to thank Jamie for sharing his artwork and also his kindness of adopting the soft-shell turtle.
