Well mommy learned dat Shad could call fur help ifin it was needed. Now mommy was glad hers had never gotten onto Shad fur playin’ with da fone all those times. Mommy wondered what else Shad could do but mommy didn’t really know what all she needed. As bein’ disabled wus somethin’ mommy had never thought ’bout.  Well as me told you yesfurday mommy passes out quite a lot. Ifin hers raises both of hers arms above her head then hers fur sure gunna pass out. So ever time she takes a shower and washes hers hair, down she goes. MOL  Well of course any of you’s dat have a kitty knows dat you can’t go to da pawdee box room fur anythin’ alone.  And well Shad and mommy was no different. Anytime mommy went to da pawdee box room Shad was hot on hers heels. Shad had been sittin’ on da hooman pawdee watchin’ mommy take showers fur years, and now dat mommy wus passin’ out, Shad was still der observin’ it all. As mommy would start to pass out hers would grab hold of da shower curtain or shower bar, or anythin’ else hers could tryin’ not to fall. But alas, she would end up in da tub with new bruises and bangs and a nose full of water. Til one day…..

Mommy had gone to take hers shower as usual, and sure ’nuff while washin’ hers hair she’s started to get dizzy. Dat was da last thing mommy membered til hers came to with Shad in da shower with her up under mommys’ arm and tryin’ to push mommy over da edge of da tub. After mommy finished hers shower and dried her and Shad , mommy noticed a wad of hers hair by da outside of da tub. Mommy didn’t know what to think, cuz she still had a head full of hair and it didn’t hurt so she’s didn’t worry much ’bout it at da time.  But as da day wet on mommy kept thinkin’ ’bout it and thinkin’ how she’s didn’t come to this time with a nose full of water. So mommy set out to try tu figger out what had happened. After mommy had rested up hers went back to ‘take another shower’.  Shad of course was right there with her.  So mommy got da water runnin’ and purrtended to start washin’ hers hair and gettin dizzy. She’s noticed dat Shad jumped fwom da hooman pawdee to da edge of da tub. So mommy started grabbin at da shower curtain and Shad jumped in da tub. Mommy slid down, and Shad jumped on mommy and pawed at da shower curtain til it was moved back and then she’s started pawin’ mommys head and head bumpin’ hers head tryin’ to lift it up. And then she grabbed a mouth full of hair and pulled mommys head over so dat da water wasn’t hittin hers in da face. And then under mommy’s arm she’s went and started pushin’ with all hers might tryin’ to push mommy out of da tub.

Shad seemed to pick up on what mommy needed and she taught herself many more things befur she went to heaven. And because of her mommy knew dat hers could train any kitty cat to do da same things and more. And so dat’s zactly what mommy did and continues to do.  Since Shad went to heaven mommy has trained or helped train (as you’s will learn with meez story) 5 more Service Cats includin’ me. 🙂 And each kitty has brought sumthin’ new to mommy. Kitty’s are very smart and very sensitive so we’s make great Service Animals. Me sure hopes you’s have enjoyed hearin’ ’bout Shad, mommy’s original Service Cat, and me can’t wait to start tellin’ you’s all ’bout sis Lexi and me.          Til da nex time, Have a Happy and Blessed Easter!!
