Our family is complete!

The RSPCA shelter has thankfully overcome the outbreak of cat flu and we were able to pick up Gixer's brother, Raff, at the weekend.  I'm not sure if they remember each other as it's been quite a while since they were together but judging by the amount of noise as they rampage around upstairs, they're having fun getting to know each other!  Raff, who'll be renamed Thunder, has just made his first appearance downstairs so here are a few pics:

ACTIONS TO PROTECT SEALS

Say NO to fur!

Wearing fur or fur trim is cruel and unnecessary. Help save foxes, rabbits, and other fur bearers from suffering in the name of "fashion" by signing the fur-free pledge. Whether caught in steel traps in the wild or anally electrocuted after life in a cage on a fur farm, these animals suffer immensely.

The Slaughter continues!

  Today the news from Canada remains bleak. The Canadian
government has ignored findings from independent scientists and
veterinarians and set the kill quota even higher than last year
-- an astonishing 275,000 seals, almost all babies just days or
weeks of age, will be clubbed and shot over the next few months.
Scientists warn that the seal hunt poses a threat to the
survival of seal populations, particularly as harp seals now
face the added threat of global warming. And veterinary panels
have concluded that the slaughter results in "considerable and
unacceptable suffering,"
noting that sealers often fail to
comply with anti-cruelty laws. That's why I'm asking for your
help to send a strong message to the Canadian government to end
the seal slaughter.

Contact the Canadian Minister of International Trade, David
Emerson, and urge him to end the seal hunt. Click here:  TAKE ACTION !!!

Art & Soul Portland

After much procrastinating, Kim  and I decided we just had to go!  I'll be meeting up with 3 girls I met at A&S in Virginia last year, a long time friend, Bonnie, who lives just north of Portland in Brush Prairie AND I'll be visiting Mt St Helens!!!   I'll be taking classes with Nina Bagley , Thomas Ashman , Judy Wilkenfeld  and Robert Dancik.  I think I'll be doing the happy dance till October!

A couple of years ago I was in a calendar RR on the MMCA group and I was missing the February pages - well today they arrived!  These have certainly been worth waiting for - thanx Liz , they're stunning !
