Which animal is most like you in love?

by Daniel Mackie February 02, 2017

Love is a many splendored thing, so the song goes. It reminds us that love is very different for each person, and indeed each time you fall in love. Many of the DM Collection animals represent love in their own unique way - but which is closest to your experience of amour?

The Cat is constantly entranced by the object of its affections. Following them around absentmindedly, catching itself staring at the wonderful being that is its love, and of course, needing lots of nuzzles and hugs. See Daniel's Cat designs.

The Dog is loyal to those they love above all else. As pack animals, the bonds between them are crucial for their survival in the wild. Pet dogs may have softened around the edges, but their steadfast, loyal, affectionate nature remains strong. See Daniel's Dog designs.

In contrast, the Butterfly is a rather flighty piece! Aesop's fable the Butterfly and the Rose shows that despite their love, Mr Butterfly could not remain faithful to just one flower. But then again, the Rose also had a soft spot for the Bumblebee.... See Daniel's Butterfly design.

Perhaps the Lion is more your style? Fiercely protective of those in its pride, both male and female lions will fight to the death if they feel one they love is under threat. Yet, in relaxed moments they nuzzle and play together, revealing they are a soft pussycats at heart. See Daniel's Lion design.

Or does love make you want to crow from the rooftops like the Rooster? The bird's pride as he struts the farmyard around like the lord of the manor is a feeling love can create - just hope the fox doesn't sneak up on him! See Daniel's Rooster designs.

A pair of love birds is perhaps the most clear sign of enduring love from the animal kingdom, as 90% of bird species are monogamous, with 'divorce' rates thought to be lower than humans! Inseparable, these two are true soul mates who delight in each others' company. See Daniel's Goldfinches design.

Whatever your style in love, it is an uplifting and life enhancing experience at its best. Grab it if you can!

by Daniel Mackie December 30, 2020

Ideas are nothing, execution is everything.
Belling the Cat is a fable first recored in the 12th ceuntry. A group of mice debate plans to neutralise the threat of a marauding cat. One of them has an idea of placing a bell around its neck, so that they will be warned of its approach. The others applaud the plan, until one mouse asks who will volunteer to place the bell on the cat. All of them make excuses!
