Hi you guys!!! Thank you Candace for making this thread and for emailing me. It's just what I needed to get back to PT. I shouldn't have let life get so busy and Pettalk has always been such a great place to come to find solace. I don't know why I waited so long. I can't believe the last time I logged on was January 25th. Crazy.
I loved reading everyone's posts and I'm so thankful to be missed. Good to be back.
Things have really been moving along with the feral cat group. A woman in our group has alot of journalism experience and she sent out a press release to some radio stations and newspapers. I did a short radio interview the other day over the phone. It was very weird and scary. Thankfully they only ran a tiny clip of it. lol
Today, a high school student came over on the ferry and he and another student are doing a documentary on feral cats that they will be submitting at the end of the month to the Campbell River Film Festival. The student brought his video camera and did an interview with me and 3 other members of our group and asked me to send him some Barney footage so he could add it to the documentary. I wasn't sure what to send but put together some clips. Here's the video I sent him:

Barney video

It would be so neat if Barney's little video clips made it onto a bigger screen so he could help even more kitties. I think these kids will do a good job with their film, they seem really motivated.

I'm really looking forward to catching up with everybody on PT and finding out what you all have been up to!

LES again.

Lara, the video clips you put together are so touching and I hope it will make it to the big screen, so that more people will be aware what a miserable life feral cats have to endure.

It's great that the students will do a documentary. I hope it will seen by many people!

Thank you again for all you have done for Barney.

The video gave me a lump in my throat, Lara. The last photo of Barn-Barn was just too much. How heart wrenching yet comforting it must have been for you to put this video together. What an incredibly special person you are and just the right person to be there for an incredibly special cat. You've done and continue to do an amazing job.

The video gave me LES too. I too hope it makes it to the big screen. Barney will never be forgotten.

That video gets right to you, doesn't it? Let us know how the documentary goes; it would be nice to have this issue put forth to as many people as possible.
I agree, Lara, you're a very special person - thank you. Barney was very special to all of us.

I'm so glad Barney's candle group is back! See http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/...l=eng&gi=BarnB

I just lit a candle for him and for the feral rescue group. God be with you, Lara, Barney, and all the others.
