Rick Bragg and his mother have seen and adopted plenty of animals in their time, but none were quite like the speckled stray that wandered into their yard one day. When Speckled Beauty showed up, he seemed spent “the way a beatdown boxer is done....” and likely not to make it past the week. With kindness and delicious southern food given, he slowly seemed to get better. At first, he seemed to be a gentle and sweet dog, but that was before he got his strength back.

Felix Ever After image

March 1, 2023

Felix Love has never been in love, and don't worry-- he understands the irony of that. See, it's not so easy for a trans kid to be accepted by society much less a potential suitor. And boy, has he tried to pursue others. That was a scarring experience of the girl's not only rejecting his love, but diminishing his identity; so instead he's focused on getting into Brown University.
