So I've completed more drawings than I have drawn species, if that makes sense! L&J, no, the figure does not count commissions or repeated species, which occur during mammalthons!

I can't even remember all the wonderful drawings I have enjoyed this past year - including the beautiful human. Not only have you given a lot of pleasure in viewing the mammals, but the informative commentary has been well worth the daily visits. And not least of all, Jennifer has given her time and talent to raise several thousand dollars for worthy animal causes! I could not be prouder to call you my niece!<br/><br/>Love from your tia!

You averaged a mammal every other day? Astounding, when you think of all that we did in the past year:

* We moved, twice — once by car in a week-long trip across the country.

* We bought a house.

* You recovered from graduate school and began a demanding design job an hour’s commute away.

These and hundreds of other activities, hobbies, distractions and exploits, and you still managed a mammal every other day. Unbelievable.

Hopefully you won’t have so many distractions in the years to come, but even if you just maintain this rate, you can get this project done in 28 years. Yes, that’s a very, very long time — but it’s reachable! It’s attainable! You’ve given us a years’ worth of proof that you can do this!

One day many years from now some biologist, some vet, some Disney animator will be asked where her love of animals came from, or what his inspirations were growing up, and they’ll mention this site. They will.

Wow. What a beautiful legacy.

Here’s to many more years, Jennifer.
