Everyone there loves animals, and everyone there wants a nation where none are homeless, and none are left in a shelter to perish.
And I didn't have to look very far to see this played out before my eyes.
Saturday morning at breakfast, I sat between a fantastic foster mom, Connie of Tales from the Foster Kittens and an amazing artist, Bernadette of The Creative Cat.

Connie was holding her differently-abled foster kitten, Odilia. Odilia has been blind from birth, but you wouldn't know it. She's adorable - and a handful!
Next thing I know, Bernadette begins to sketch her. That in itself would have been fascinating, but as she sketched, she began to talk about auctioning the sketch of Odilia off as a fundraiser for Odilia's shelter.

You can bid on the sketch of this adorable little girl here, on The Creative Cat's blog.
Such generosity of heart is everywhere at BlogPaws. Perhaps you should consider attending next year?
