MIRANDA and MOM MARJORIE ~ Our Friends

Today, our post about friends takes a slightly different turn ~ as we want to share the story about a very special kitty girl, named MIRANDA.  And we'll give you TWO LINKS below which I do hope you'll take the time to visit, to read her story in depth. 

We also want to tell you a little about Miranda's Mom MARJORIE, as she has a somewhat unique place in our pet blogging community.


This is MARJORIE, of the blog Dash Kitten, holding her tabby, Silver.
And pictured with an art image of the extraordinary Dash.

Silver is one of eleven kitties that fill this home with love, that keep Marjorie
busy with her vocation as a photographer and tutor of photography.
When you are a visitor to Dash Kitten, you'll see not only Marjorie's cats,
but often the beautiful street cats that wander her community ~ and others
offering companionship in cat cafes.  Wherever there are cats to
be seen, she is there to photograph them ...
yes, that is what makes Dash Kitten different, it teaches photography.

Whether you prefer to photograph your pets with a cell phone,
with a DSLR, indoors or outdoors,
you will always find examples and information and how-to's from Marjorie.
Detailed, easy to follow instructions on how to take your best pet pictures,
or new ways to think about taking their photos ...
how to use your camera settings and more.
For those whose interests lie with video and movie making, she will be your guide.  
And all that works for the cats ~ will work for our pet friends who
share their homes with wonderful woofies!
All from an award winning photographer.


MIRANDA

Her story touches your heart.
Above, we are imagining Miranda through the lens of her Mom's camera.

Just about a full year ago, September 2023,
this beautiful tuxie was maliciously shot with a crossbow arrow.
Her story is here (does not include trauma photos).


One month later, giving thanks to so very many,
here is the story of her miraculous recovery.

  4. That was a wonderful post, Ann. Such an amazing picture with the antique camera. Our mom never looks at your posts without being "creatively astonished" (she says. ). Your tribute to Dash Kitten is "right on!" She loves the way you described Dash Kitten's human's photography and the cats which surround her. Bravo!

  28. I, too, did not know Miranda's story until now. Some people are too horrible to be even be called human. Thank God she was not injured in more vital places and she recovered fully. Thank you for featuring Miranda and sharing her story.
