Hi Everyone:

I came across this video today and wanted to share it here.

I was doing some work on our gmail account, and when I signed out I saw a cute girl sitting with her guitar, and a precious little kitty. Being a guitarist myself, and (of course), an animal lover, I clicked on the video. I think that it's a beautiful video...... She has a very lovely voice and plays quite well, too .

I hope it makes you smile - I did. .

Much peace & love to you all,

On the version that I initially saw, I clicked on the work info, and these are the words that followed:

Blip Blip was a "foster" kitten with my local Humane Society. After returning him, he was adopted the very next day =^-^= ★ Also ★ there seems to be some confusion about why Blip Blip was returned to the Humane Society. I am a foster parent who takes in kittens who are too young to adopt out and provides a safe & loving environment until they reach an adoptable age. Blip Blip was never in any danger of being destroyed. Once a foster kitten is returned, the Humane Society makes potential adopters fill out a questionnaire to ensure that they are sincere and capable. Also, the adopter must pay an adoption fee of $100+ to the Humane Society. Fostering is charitable and I receive no pay. If I chose to keep my fosters I would have too many cats and since most of these foster kittens go to homes where they are the only cat, they can receive the attention they deserve. I already have three cats and he would have to share the love. Blip Blip deserves to be #1. Hope this helps people better understand the foster program. __________________________________ I was practicing a song when my foster kitty, Blip Blip, made himself at home. So, out came the camera, song ready or not (not, I know there are some picking and timing glitches but hey, opportunity came a knockin'. I wasn't even planning on releasing this song. I was just practicing when this little guy made me rush for the camera). This is not so much a music video but an ode to Blip Blip and a perfect way to put together all his film clips. I raised him from just 3 weeks old to about 4 months old. He's a dear and it was very hard to return him to the Humane Society(I'm part of their foster program). But, I knew he'd make a great companion for some lucky person and I already have plenty of cats. He's a little thinker and I miss him. __________________________________ "Riverside" words &; music by Mary Win copyright 2007

thank you muffins mom that defintely made me smile....

That was so touching! It brought back memories from last year (will be one year on 09 September) when I adopted Patches from a foster mother for a place called Freedom Farm in my state (Tennessee). She does the same thing and also rescues cats and kittens whenever she can (and she has a lot at the moment, 23!!). The people who do this are almost superhuman. I admire them so much!!

Hi Michelle & Lisa :

I'm so glad that you enjoyed the video.

I am so grateful that there are lots of animal lovers in the world that will open their home (and heart ) to foster furkids .

Lisa, God bless that foster mom that you know -- WOW! 23 cats & kittens . I would find it very difficult to "give them up", but I'll bet that people who can foster are used to it -- raising, (socializing, etc.), the animals until such time they are ready to go to their forever home ..... <<-- always such a nice thought....

I hope that the both of you (and your families) are doing well.

God Bless.

Peace, love & happiness Always,

Denise
