We are Proud to Be American Kitties


It is July 4th, 2011 Sam and I would like share some really fascinating, interesting facts on American History.

Did you know that the first representative assembly in North American was established in Jamestown, Virginia on July 3oth, 1619?

Did you know an amazing girl, Eliz Lucas at the age of 16 cultivated what became South Carolina’s second-largest crop, Indigo?

Did you know that Pennsylvania was created over a debt owed? King Charles the II owed William Penn 16,000 British pounds. Penn was a converted Quaker (a religious group persecuted in England for their beliefs). Instead of the money Penn asked of the land in between Maryland and New York. The king agreed and Pennsylvania was established.

Sam and I found these above fascinating facts from the article Stephanie Pappas, Senior Writer for “Live Science” wrote. Please check out this website to learn many more intriguing facts about our history.

Also Remember today when going to see fireworks or if you yourself are setting off fireworks, that your animals are in a safe place. Loud noises and unexpected explosions can be frightening to animals that don't know whats going on!

All About Me

My photo
Jill illustrates greeting cards and works at an Animal Medical Hospital in Arizona. Her love for animals can be seen in every drawing she has ever done. It wasn’t until Jill and her husband Paul adopted Maggie & Sam (2 crazy cats) from the Humane Society that Jill created the Maggie & Sam Collection. All of Maggie and Sam’s personalities as well as their friends have been captured in Jill’s work. In every illustration you will see humor, and love through her characters’ eyes. Jill has been selling her cards in local Arizona Stores. However, being passionate Jill wanted to create a website that would bring people together to talk about their pets, share their stories and to interact with other pet lovers. They will be able to learn new and interesting facts about the various animals pictured on the greeting cards, read their pet’s horoscope, and send personal messages to their friends and families at any time via e-mail.
