As we get closer to end the month of June and close out Pride Month with a bang, letโ€™s do a deep dive into the history of this glorious month.

Since the start of the modern LGBTQ+ liberation movement in the 1970s, hundreds of independent Pride events have sprung up in cities worldwide, each distinctly local and generally tied in some way to the foundational Stonewall Riots in June.

Nemo considers herself amongst royalty, but loves the people.

A true queen of the household, Nemo never falls short of providing protection and affection. She is fond of pillows, soft beds, her best friend Jersey, and especially her mom.

Nemo can be found most days working by her parentโ€™s side, on a road-trip to a river, doing downward dog on the yoga mat, or running the pasture with Jersey exploring nature. She is loved by all.
