Thank you for visiting.

Hello, my name is Othen Donald Dale Cummings. My mother had a disabling stroke a few years ago. I began care-giving for mom and we started doing art and writing projects together.
We call these projects "A Pet Banana Production" and they have given my mother hours of joy during her recovery.
This blog is a collection of these projects and also some random stuff we enjoy sharing. We have self published many of the stories and poetry I have written for and with my mother and would love for you to check them out!
Thank you and if you buy one of our books it is very appreciated because every sale helps us immensely!

A little history

  My Mother has had 2 strokes and has Auricular fibrillation called A-fib for short. Which puts you at risk for more strokes. She had a TIA which is a transient ischemic attack. (mini stroke) During this attack she started talking about a pet banana in her chest. I knew something was wrong because that's the only answer she could give me when I asked how she was. So I called 911.
Later I asked her if she remembered talking about a pet banana and she told me the story about how she always wanted one and would wear it on her chest like a pin or broach! So I worked on a story about a pet banana for her and when I published my stories I decided to call my company a pet banana production to honor my Mother:-)
A pet banana production was born!
