1. Are you a dog or cat person, or do you prefer no pets (or are unable to have one)?

Honestly — I’m both.
I love dogs and cats, each for their own beautiful reasons.

2. Did you have a pet as a child?

Yes.
My very first pet was a dog — an English Springer Spaniel.

Later, when we moved to Norway, our world expanded:
cats, chickens, and ducks all became part of daily life.

3. Have you ever ridden a horse?

Yes.
I started riding when I was around ten years old, and it became something very close to my heart.

4. What was your favourite animal in a zoo or circus?

Seals 🦭 and dolphins have always been my favourites — especially watching them move through water with such intelligence and grace.

Here in Spain / the Canary Islands, animals are no longer allowed in circuses — and I think that is a very good thing.

Some magic should never come at the cost of another being’s freedom.

Gratitude

I’m grateful for animals —
for the companionship they offer,
for the lessons they teach us without words,
and for a world that is slowly learning to protect them better.
