Magical Things Happen at BlogPaws

Among the many things I enjoyed about being at BlogPaws, the unity of purpose had to be at the top.

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.

Spunky little Odilia

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?

"I kissed a ferret ... and I LIKED it"

Seriously peeps. We're calling Angie's List. Craigslist. Ebay, even.

You see, there was a Ferret Incident at BlogPaws this year. Our human was seen cavorting with a ferret. None other than @SnotfaceCritter of twitter and facebook fame.

Snotface snoozing in mommy's lap. Notice the tongue she squeed over.
FOUL play!

And then there was the "girl time" she had with Coco of Curlz & Swirlz. Allie's green with envy.

We can tell from the photos our mom's totally unrepentant.

Seriously. We need to trade up.

More Coco, stylin' in her dress.

Brighton, also of Curlz & Swirlz, all duded up.

Here he is hanging with @snotface's mom.

And Jake of www.nakedandhungry.com, with mom CHo.

There were loads of bloggers this year at BlogPaws, and our mom wished she'd had the opportunity to meet them all. She did bring home a few cat things, and attended a few workshops she found fascinating. And she'd totally do it again.

But next time, mommy - Snotface is OFF LIMITS. Just meowing.
