Hey people,

I just wanted to say that I finally got my flute and started playing again (after 7 years of no play) I actually sound pretty decent and the One a Day lesson book I bought is helping me A LOT. I forgot how to read music. Any way, I just wanted to say how happy I am and how I enjoy reading all your post about new flute stuff since I`ve been pretty much out of the loop for awhile. Cheers!

Congtrats! What model of flute did you end up deciding on?
By the way, I love the picture of the kitty! I really need to take a group photo of all five of mine and put it in.

Sorry I took so long to reply, its been a busy week. I got a gemeinhardt 3b. I hoped for an intermediate model but this was all I could afford right now. Thats my cat Mia, we just got a new one though, we named her Annie. When I get some better pics of them both together I`ll have to trade the photo. Wow 5 cats! Thats a lot!

Well, I am glad to hear that you are enjoying playing the flute again.

Yeah...5 cats, but sometimes it seems like there are more. There is one that is 2 years old and the rest are all under a year and half so they are rather rambunctious at times.

I feel for you having to move out of the US. (I reaad your blog.) While I didn`t have to move out of the US, it felt like it to me because of where I moved to. It was like a different world. I will be so happy to get out of here and back to reality. Hang in there.

I have pictures of all my cats on my web page which is posted in my profile if you want to have a look.

My cat's name is Mia also, but I pronounce it Mya. She is a chartreux steel blue coated cat. I love her so much! Oh, and to keep this post musically inclined...good luck with your playing!!!

congratz!
that is so cool!

i also have a cat when i was 7.
man, i really love that cat so much, i even cried when it died
anyways, i don't a have a cat at the moment but i do have this dog that looks like Garfield.
heheh!

Kishi, a dog that looks like an overweight cartoon cat......that has to be interesting.

yeh, very interesting.hee,hee,hee!
well, the dog's not really overweight.
he's got this large face and sometimes act like a master, and he loves chasing rats!
he, he, he!

HAHA! that's so cool! i just have a beagle that always DROOLS all over your face. Yup, it's really gross. OH! and i was walking my dog today..and whenever a really BIG dog comes BARKING after her, she does nothing. It's really weird,..she doesn't bark back. she just walks right past..HAHA! You should seen all the dog trying to chase after her!..ahhh..poor thing

hehe,
my dog only drools when he smells food...
and oh, he hates dog foods...
he only eats rice and meat and corned beef!hehe
nyah!he's more food sensitive that i am.hee,hee!

pizza????
cool, never tried that on my dogs.
and it gives me the idea..i'll try to offer my dog a pizza.
last week it just ate some junk foods(chips)

To me that sounds like a very unhealthful diet for your poor dogs. I wouldn't suggest feeding them pizza or chips (except perhaps as an occasional snack), as human food can do great harm to animals. I know chocolate and grapes in particular are terrible for dogs, and pizza and burgers don't sound much better.

i think your right.
my dog ignored the pizza.

Dogs beg to eat what others are having because it is part of their pack mentality. This dones not mean that it is good for them. As suggested, some foods can do grave harm. Chocolate can be toxic to dogs true, but other foods can also kill them like fatty foods, only more slowly.
ONe person I know used to only feed their dog boiled chicken breasts. This dog was far wider then it was long. It looked like a fringed hassock.
