Haha, RIGHT!? So many plans - a whole UNIVERSE of plans! I like a good Hallmark movie, too. LOTS and LOTS of plans. 😁

Oh yay! I'm so glad! I have found a dearth of people who vlog in their 40s and I'm thinking, you know what? We need more 40-somethings in this space! And 50-somethings...and beyond! Thanks for the sub and I appreciate your comment. So fun!

Haha, I think people are learning. Going out...takes so much energy, doesn't it? 😂 Sibling jealousy. Tee hee. I am having a lot of fun creating these. I draw out the story boards and scenes and it takes forever, but it's so fun. 🤩 Thanks for your comment, Big Bro.

I'm also jealous. Would love to know how she does these videos! love yours, too, big bro!

@@VH1hodges Oh yes, we love Big Bro's videos. Wonderful messages and so very heartfelt. These videos...whew! They are a lot of fun to make. But they take a lot of time and planning. There's the idea generation, then the script writing. Then I draw out every scene and/or imagine everything I'm going to do. Then there's recording each scene (my most recent video had 45 different scenes I recorded). Then onto the editing and making interesting cuts along with really paying attention to the sound. That's why I only do one of these a week for right now - because I have to fit them in with everything else. Still, I think I've unlocked a Pandora's box for myself. I had no idea videography could be so fun!

Elly says "thank you" 🐾

Definitely. He recently had an echocardiogram. The vet thinks Elly has a year, maybe two with this diagnosis. Just goes to show: enjoy every moment and try to live in the moment.

Thank you so much! Elly is such a kewl kat. Hehe. We love him so. Appreciate your compliment and comment. 🩷

Thank you so much! We have an EKG appointment with Elly today, actually, and hopefully we'll get some better insights into fine-tuning his treatment so he can be around for years to come. It is a journey for sure!

Thanks, friend! His EKG is today. Fingers crossed for some good news and hopes for a longer life for this lil guy. He's so special to us. Appreciate you! 😘

Thank you for your suggestions. :) I have looked into herbs and together with the different herbal companies and holistic vets, and through my research, we have all determined that hawthorn, dandelion and Schisandra can all cause dangerous and potentially lethal interactions with Elly's heart medicine, especially the pimobendan. Now, should Elly ever be able to get off the pimobendan (sometimes it can be contraindicated in HCM cases, depending on what the EKGs show), THEN we can entertain some of these herbal options. But for now, they are off the table. Appreciate the suggestions and as an added bonus, these herbs can be especially helpful in cats with heart murmurs. :)

Thank you. He's hanging in there. He has an upcoming echocardiogram appointment and we'll find out more so we can help this boi live a long time yet. ❤️‍🩹

@@artfunky Beautiful 😻 thank you 🙏.

I love Silver and Solo's channel, hehe. Thanks for the follow! I gave you a follow back. :) Best of luck on your monetization journey as well. We can all inspire each other. 😁

@@artfunky for sure! So exciting! 🥰

It is a fun journey!

He definitely spreads out like a furry blanket, that sweet boy. 🐾

Absolutely. Never stop learning. It keeps you young. 😁

Oh, I so hope this kitty can come out of it. So, so, so hope. Thank you for your lovely comment!

Thank you so much! We literally just got back from the vet and he was pleasantly surprised Elly is bouncing back so far. Still need to do the cardiologist thing, which will determine next steps for treatment. I will post a video update sometime this weekend. Thank you. 🙏

Friend, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. ♥️ You made me smile and tear up a little. Appreciate you, your words and kindness. Now go get some tea! 🫖

Your comment here made me SMILE REAL BIG LIKE. Thank you, friend! I am LOVING doing this - I have only recently discovered doing videos a little more "cinematically." It is amazing and fun and draws on all my crazy random skills, lol.

Elly says thank you! 🐾 Vet visit tomorrow (25 June). Fingers crossed! 🤞

Thanks so much!I love making new piano songs. 😁🎹

Aww, that's so sweet! Lil Emma, gon' be internet famous. 😂 I love that you loved the montage. I thought that would be a fun "cinematic" addition. Thank you friend! Really appreciate the support. 🩷

She really enjoys it! Eventually, I would like to take her sisters along, but we will need a different setup (it would be much easier in a camper rather than a tent if you have multiple cats and a dog). Little by little we’re getting there. 🤪

Thank you. :) I had fun with this one.

The creative process is, I think, unique to the person who does the creating. Maybe. Your beautiful art has an incredible creative process, I'm sure. And my house is full of critters: endless inspiration for art pieces. haha. Love you friend! Hope you have a wonderful day!
