Well here we are just 2 more days till Christmas. Can you believe it? It’s been a crazy year here and has gone by so fast. Too fast really. As most of you know sis Lexi was diagnosed with CKD last January and it has been a roller coaster ride since then. Furst there was da trying to find foods she kuld eat dat she wuld eat. And not just once, but again and again. Overnight sissy went from da kitty who ate anyfin’ what didn’t eat her furst to bein’ as finicky as me. Talk ‘bout furustratin’ fur mommy. It sure is. And ifin CKD isn’t bad enuff, those same kitties are prone to other issues as well. So you never know what kind of day you’re gunna have from minute to minute.
You know since goin’ to BlogPaws sissy’s been duin’ purretty good. She’s had a few bad days, but mostly good. Mommy was hopin’ to ride dat high fur at least another year. But yesfurday sissy didn’t eat much bweakfastt afur she was off to have a meownin’ nap. Mommy didn’t worry too much cuz she had eaten a really big dinner da night afur. But later yesfurday afternoon, Lexi suddenly started pacin’ da floor and meowin’ her dispurrleased low yeowl. And then she threw up what little she did eat fur bwekky. Oh but it didn’t stop there. She then climbed in da litter box and only sprinkled a little. And what she sprinkled was nuffin’ more than blood drops. Yep, weez on da roller coaster and zoomin’ downhill. Yep UTI’s are commonplace in CKD kitties and sissy has another one. And yep, again da VET was out of reach. Yes we know we need a new VET but it’s not dat easy. Since we don’t have any where we live and have to dwive a good distance, we have to make sure we kuld get there ifin there was a real mergency. We have now twied all da VETs in da town wiff our current VET so now weez gotta start checkin’ a few other towns round us which of course takes time, money and gas. Sumfin’ we don’t have at da moment.
OMC Fank you Gracie and Anya. Me knows sis Lexi’s gunna luv ’em too.
Mommy sez she dusn’t know which is worse, da kidney disease or all da illnesses and issues dat occur because of it. And of course everytime sissy takes a down turn, mommy gets terrified dat she won’t bounce back this time. So yesfurday she was hollerin’ at God and tellin’ Him dat He kuldn’t have Lexi yet, and dat she kuldn’t go thru another Christmas loss. 10 years ago sissy and mommy lost Lucky on Christmas and Ransom 5 years ago a little afur Thanksgivin’. Sissy posted an update on da fundraiser and we wuld purreciate any help you can give. We wanna say a meowsy big Thank you to all who have helped so far. We’ll fur sure keep you posted as to how sissy be duin’. We wuld also purreciate your purrayers.
There’s so many gifts in here and some fur mommy too. Fank you Gracie and Anya and yous mommy too.
You know this disease is pawful and altho it’s more common in older kitties, it can affect younger ones as well. While mommy was cleanin’ all da mess and dealin’ wiff sis Lexi one of meez fellow scouts made a purrayer request post at scouts. Meez furiend Mau from da Kitties Blue, you know da Sunday Selfie’s kitties; well hims sisfur Fiona was just diagnosed with CKD. At only 5 years old, this news has devastated da furmily. Purrlease send sum purrayers Fiona’s way too. They are tryin’ to stabilize her so they can come up wiff a treatment plan. Purrlease go by and share sum luv wiff them.

Neever of us awe ready to lose our sisfurs. Mommy sez we will enjoy Christmas and won’t accept sissy not bein’ here to share it wiff us.

Meez gotta go now, with sissy not feelin’ gweat it’s up to me to do all da posin’ wiff da pawsum gifts weez been getting’.
Well what a weekend. We missed our Blest Sunday posty mostly cuz of mommy’s finger issue which is getting’ lots better. She was finally able to file da jagged skin so it dusn’t get caught on things and hurt more. Another reason we didn’t post was cuz we’re workin’ on sumfin’ special fur Christmas and didn’t wanna overdo this week.
Oh c’mon mommy, purrlease just let me have a little peak at da purresents meez furiends sent.
We also got a kupple more packages in da mail from meez fellow Cat Scouts. They are such a pawsum gwoup of cats and peeps. Ifin you have been wantin’ to join and just haven’t yet, what are you waitin’ fur? It’s a gweat place to gather wiff other cats and cat pawrents fur fun, adventure and learning. We got a package from awnty Ellen, Sammy P and da kitties of 15 and meowing dat mommy wuldn’t let us see just yet and it included sumfin’ fur mommy. Fank you soooooo much fur includin’ us in yous holiday givin’.
And then mommy opened a big ole box from Cat and awnty Lisa. Me kept twyin’ to check out da contents in dat box, but mommy sed it was fur Christmas. And they included a gift bag full of fings fur mommy. Fank you bunches and bunches and bunches. Cat and awnty Lisa have done a lot fur sis Lexi durin’ da year and now they’re sharin’ their Christmas wiff us. Mommy sez you hit a home run and dat weez gunna luv everythin’.
Me got caught twyin’ to sneak a peak
So needless to say, tween these packages and da ones we got earlier in da week, mommy had da leaky eyes big time. They was da happy kind but salty tears none da less. And just when we fawt mommy was all cried out, another of meez fellow scouts sent us a email and sed they had sent us a little sumfin’ sumfin’ dat shuld be here today. We are so Blest!!!
You know times are tuff all over and this year has been a real strain fur us with both sissy and me needin’ da extra VET care and special type noms so we really weren’t spectin’ to have a Christmas with purresents. Sum of you already know dat afur we got into social media, mommy wuld take da lesser played wiff toys from our toy box and put them in our stockings fur Christmas and she wuld buy a can of special noms fur us to eat. Because we recently changed foods and da new ones are so spensive, there wasn’t gunna be a special can of noms this year. But you know what? We feel so blest to have each other and all of you. And after all isn’t luv what it’s all about? Let me tell ya’, in dat department we are overflowin’. And now meez furiends have purrvided da purresents. We al have da leaky eyes round here. We are so gwateful to have so many pawsum furiends.

Meez gotta go now, mommy sez there’s sum treats we gotta try fur our last review of da year 2015.
Dezi sed ifin I made da face too, maybe mommy wuld give us da purrezentz erlee
Oh, by da way, you can read our Thanksgivin’ story over at da Daily Mews here. Our Christmas story will be published shortly.
Our Christmas plans are to spend da day togevver luvvin’ each other and openenin’ and playin’ wiff our new purresents. What are y’all doin’ this week, da last few days afur Christmas?
Oh weekend weez so glad you’re here. Meowllo everypawdy how’re ya’ doin’? You all know we be da poor relatives right? It’s okay, we know it. You know mommy qualifies fur one of those cheap cell fones. Yeah dat’s right, they be free all across da country ‘cept here in one of da poorest states in da Union. Here they cost money. Anyways, they don’t get a signal at our house so mommy’s just always kept her old prepaid fone. It dusn’t get a signal at da house eever, and it ain’t smart by no stretch of da magination; but it’s cheaper than da cheap government fones. So anyways this past week mommy had to go pick up her medicine from da farmacy and da cheap cell fone peeps had a tent set up outside da grocery store. Mommy decided to go on over and ask ‘bout da smarty pants fones. Ya’ know what? They had one. Sum android job fur da cheap. So mommy thought she’d take da plunge and smarten up wiff da rest of da world.
A few minutes later and mommy was off wiff her new teeny tiny smarty pants fone. Yep dat’s right, it’s ‘bout 4 inches wiff a 3 inch screen and a keypad smaller than mommy’s pinky. Sissy and me fur sure won’t be usin’ this fone, but dat’s okay, it don’t get service anywhere but da grocery store…5 miles away. MOL So mommy tried to connect to da innernet but when she typed in meez blog address da auto correct kept changin’ it. Course mommy’s not as smart as da fone so it took 10 tries and 45 minutes fur her to figger out what was happenin’. We still haven’t found da auto correct button to turn it off, cuz mommy had another little accident in da meantime and now has a finger twice it’s size. Me knows what you all are finkin’. Mommy got ripped off by sum fly by night. but truth is, our town is just dat small. We don’t have any cell stores within a 100 miles so da companies set up little tents in these small towns like ours and do business. There’s lots of little towns like ours in Oklahoma. And da tent’s there 4-5 days a week, so they be a real business. Course dat doesn’t mean mommy didn’t get ripped off. MOL
Anyways, meez been takin’ it easy on mommy and not askin’ her to type too much cuz she broke a fingernail. Now me knows what you’re thinkin’. BooHoo a broken fingernail, just get over it. Right? Normally me wuld agwee, but this ain’t just any broken fingernail. Mommy has purretty long nails to begin wiff and it bwoke way down in da quick. Me thought she wuld never get it to stop bleedin’. 2 days later it’s finally stopped, lessen she bumps it, gets it wet, or ketches it on sumfin’. And it ain’t purretty, let me tell ya’. Me kept meowin’ at her to stop typin’ da furst day cuz da blood was everywhere. So weez takin’ it easy fur now and will get back to visitin’ and commentin’ more when mommy’s finger gets better. Maybe in da meantime, she can smarten up da smarty pants fone afur she gets so furustrated she has ‘em turn it off. MOL
