MAKE ME CHOCOLATE

Make me Chocolate, was posted by my daughter Nakisha and I thought she has a very good point. Please pass this along to anyone who is interested in getting a life rabbit for easter.

Make Me Chocolate!
If you haven't heard of the "Make Mine Chocolate™" campaign, it is a movement started by the Columbus House Rabbit Society, a non-profit rabbit rescue in Ohio. The goal is to help educate the public that rabbits make terrible Easter gifts.Sadly, rabbits are the third animal, behind cats and dogs, that are surrendered to animal shelters. Many are also "set free" after the Holiday, where they face death and injury from starvation, predation and roads. Rabbits can live ten years or more, and require as much work as a cat or dog. They should be spayed or neutered for the best health, need room to run around every day and must have a quality diet to thrive. This Easter, I encourage everyone to think before you buy. If you still want a rabbit and are ready for the commitment, consider adopting one from your local animal shelter or rescue organization.For more information on caring for rabbits, visitThe House Rabbit SocietyA WA state rabbit rescue Rabbit HavenMore on the campaignMake Mine Chocolateand the UK versionMake Mine Chocolate UKThe Humane Society of the USI donate the sale of artwork to various animal rescue organizations in my Etsy shop- including the painting above- just click the "For the Animals" Section.

New Speakers

Hooray... I'm back to being able to listen to music again on my computer!!! This is my favorite movement out of the Bolling Jazz Suite for flute, piano, bass, and drum. I performed this suite at 171 many years ago, as well as performing parts of it in other venues as well. We're all listening to Bolling Suites again after hearing the suite for violin and piano last Thursday (There's one version on You Tube where the piano plays a wrong note near the beginning... Totally drives me crazy!)
I really enjoy the piano part on this!
