LIVE BLUES 06/28/12 THRU 07/04/12

Remember – June is ASPCA Adopt A Shelter Cat Month. Blue Lisa’s kitties Starsky & Hutch say “Some shredded furniture is a small price to pay to have a lovely feline grace your home with it's presence.” (And probably no worse for the condition of your home than what your husband is doing in the bathroom right now.)
