Sweet Lilly Lu Saturday

Rocky: When I opened my email this morning, I found a wonderful Valentine from my very best friend in the whole world, the sweet and beautiful Lilly Lu!

Lilly Lu is the sisfur of my best buddy Mu Shue and she's always there for me, whenever I need a shoulder to lean on. We IM each other almost every day. Her Valentine touched my hard CEO heart, and I wanted to share it with you. She wrote the lyrics herself, to be sung to the tune of James Taylor's "You've Got a Friend" ....

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping paw
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there to chat wiff you
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out Lilly Lu
And you know whenever I am online
I come running to chat wiff you.

Winter spring supper or fall
All you have to do is instant message
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got a best friend, Rocky.

If your employees should turn against you
And you run out of catnip
Keep your head together and call out Lilly Lu
And soon I will be IMing you.

Rocky just call out my name and you know where ever I am
I'll come running to chat wiff you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is IM.

Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a best friend?

You just instant message Lilly Lu
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to chat wiff you again.
Oh Rocky, don't you know that
Winter spring summer or fall
Hey now, all you've got to do is IM.
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will.

You've got a best friend.
You've got a best friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a best friend .
Ain't it good to know you've got a best friend .
You've got a best friend, Rocky.
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Thank you, my sweet Lilly Lu!

Bookmark Benefit for Mu Shue

ArtsyCatsy is worried about our new friend Mu Shue. As you may know, he’s very sick and needs treatment that will cost his Mama Laura $1200. She has already spent her savings helping him, and even had to sell the heirloom jewelry her grandmother left her.

With 15 of us kitties, our humans have been in the same situation, and our hearts go out to Mu Shue and Mama Laura. We ArtsyCats are very impressed by how this wonderful world of blogging kitties pulls together to help each other out, and we want to do our part. So we met for a brainpurring session and had an IDEA! The human artists are making hand-beaded waxed linen bookmarks to offer for $10 each on our blog and we'll send ALL the proceeds to Mu Shue and Mama Laura.

To order bookmarks to help Mu Shue, just email ArtsyCatsy@yahoo.com with your mailing address, the number of bookmarks you want to order, and whether you want to use PayPal or mail a check, and we’ll email instructions right back to you. (When you order, you can add a dollar or two to help cover mailing costs if you want, but you don’t have to. And, yes, we will ship internationally.)

We'll make as many bookmarks as we can from now through Feb. 22, and then we’ll send ALL the money to Mu Shue and Mama Laura. Just think – if we could sell 60 bookmarks, that would completely cover the $600 down payment for Mu Shue’s treatment! And don’t forget, if you don’t need a bookmark, the wonderful Mr. Hendrix is also helping to collect donations for Mu Shue.

Our heartfelt thanks to all you kind and caring cats and beans for helping Mu Shue and Mama Laura. We’re very proud to be a part of this beautiful kitty community!

NOTE: Your bookmark may not be exactly like the ones you see here (and please excuse our quick photography) because we’re hurrying to help Mu Shue so we're using jewelry supplies already on hand. But each one-of-a-kind bookmark will have a kitty charm, and we promise you’ll love it!
