Just take a look at this irresistibly heart-melting, butterfly-awakening and joy-inducing face overflowing with  magic, love, and perfection. #lilbub #scienceandmagic

Here's the greatest BUBirthday video ever, from 2019 - her 8th and last birthday on Earth. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it. The whole thing is about a minute longer, it shows a bunch of cats at @bloomingtonanimalshelter enjoying BUB's "cake" (with BUB of course) in the room that's now called Lil BUB's Big Cat Colony. #goodjobbub #bubirthday

Check out this BUBirthday Cake from BUB's 6th birthday!

Oops, in the spirit of BUB, I crashed before posting more BUBirthday photos last night so I'll post a bunch today instead. Here's a favorite from her 2nd birthday, June 21st 2013. #bubirthday #lilbub #scienceandmagic

Today would have been BUB’s 12th Earth-Birthday, and it is officially my 43rd! I’ve never missed anyone as much as I miss BUB, her magic was so powerful that it literally changed the course of my life and saved who-knows-how-many others. Eleven years ago today, I hosted BUB’s first birthday party in my front yard where a dozen or so close friends picked up their Lil BUB T-Shirts that they had pre-ordered a few weeks earlier, before she became a household name. That first BUB T-Shirt is largely responsible for the world discovering her magic, and that’s why we’re doing a single-run re-issue of it in its original 2-color on heather-brown glory (now available in 4XL and 5XL too). Celebrate BUB’s birthday and her  legacy by ordering the Original Classic Lil BUB T-Shirt at the link in our bio. Just like the first ones we ever sold, each shirt sold benefits special needs pets. I’ll be posting classic Birthday BUB photos throughout today! GOOD JOB BUB!

Here’s a sneak peek of TONIGHT's incredible storytelling performance by BUB's friend @durandjonesofficial for Lil BUB's inaugural Small & Mighty Concert Series, streaming exclusively on @veeps (link in bio). 100% of the net proceeds (including exclusive BUB + Durand merchandise) benefits Lil BUB's Big FUND for Special Needs Pets and Girls Rock Bloomington. It airs TONIGHT at 8 pm at the link in BUB's bio. Your ticket allows you to watch it on Veeps at any time for 90 days after tonight's broadcast (so you don't have to be free at 8 pm tonight!) and gives you access to the exclusive merchandise for that time as well. As a rescue pet owner, contributing member of the animal welfare community and a recording engineer, producer and studio owner of 20 years, this concert means so much to me on so many different levels by directly supporting special needs pets, enabling underprivileged youth, supporting our creative community, and utilizing my studio to its fullest capability in the name of our local music community, the art of recording music, and supporting those that need extra help to succeed (pets and people). What is most inspiring about this concert is Durand Jones and his band’s commitment to their music and art - this performance in particular. Durand’s storytelling is second-to-none - hearing him talk about the process of writing and recording his record from the room the record was produced and recorded in while being backed by the band and producers that made the record is a rare treat. I’m so proud of how this turned out on every level and can’t wait for people to see it, hear it, be inspired by it, and enjoy it all while knowing that it was all done to help those less fortunate. #smallandmighty #lilbub #durandjones #analogrecording #livemusic #recordingstudio

Be more like BUB. #bemorelikebub #LilBUB #scienceandmagic #goodjobbub

I can’t express how excited I am to tell you about Lil BUB’s Small & Mighty Concert Series (@smallandmightyconcerts) – something we’ve been secretly planning and working on tirelessly for over a year as a fundraising and awareness initiative through Lil BUB’s Big FUND.   This concert series embraces everything that BUB stood for by celebrating our differences, proving that anything is possible regardless of your stature or background, and by making a real effort to help those less fortunate. It is is a fundraising initiative that benefits Lil BUB’s Big FUND for Special Needs Pets and Girls Rock Bloomington.   BUB's inaugural concert features an exclusive and moving live storytelling performance of her friend @Durandjonesofficial's debut solo album “Wait Til I Get Over" by Durand and his band, filmed and recorded in my own studio… the same studio that the record was originally recorded and mixed in, and the same studio that we shot so many of our favorite BUB’s videos, and every single BUB Calendar. Exclusive access to the performance which airs on June 1st, is now available on Veeps (link in BUB’s bio). 100% of the net proceeds support Lil BUB’s Big FUND and Girls Rock Bloomington. Anyone that purchases access to the event will also have access to exclusive BUB + Durand Jones merchandise, only available through the streaming site. This series means so much to me because it combines my lifelong love of music, my career as a recording engineer and producer, and of course my passion and commitment to helping pets (and people) needing extra help into a powerful force of good in the name of the greatest space cat of all time. Thanks for helping our family continue BUB's mission and legacy. #smallandmighty #lilbub #goodjobbub #durandjones

As you can tell from the expression on BUB's face from her first "viral" photo ever, there's some pretty big Lil BUB news coming tomorrow. #smallandmighty #scienceandmagic #lilbub

happy mother's day to the Small & Mighty Matriarch of Science and Magic #scienceandmagic #lilbub #lilbubforever #goodjobbub

Here's a delightful video I took a few days after welcoming Baby BUB into my home, over eleven years ago. She weighed about 8 ounces at the time. #babybub #lillilbub #lilbub #scienceandmagic
