Meowllo and welcome to a very Blest Sunday. Of course every Sunday is very blest to us, but mommy’s so happy and purroud today dat she said this isn’t just any Blest Sunday. Now you all know dat we feel so blest to have all of you in our lives. We could have never ‘magined havin’ so many wonderful furiends. Thank you sooooooo much fur bein’ you. Me knows, you want me to get to da mommy happy and purroud pawrt don’t ya’?
Well as ya’ know this is Independence Day weekend here in da U.S.. And Americans just can’t help but wanna set off fireworks, even tho’ they be illegal within da city/town limits. And of course da town has to have a big celebration where they set off huge fireworks dat make a lot of noise. As most of ya’ know from years past, me takes this oppurrtunity to hide under anywhere me can get to. It makes mommy sad dat me does this, but it’s just da way it is. Well this is Raena’s furst year fur fireworks, and mommy had no idea how she would handle it. Of course mommy hopes dat Raena will ignore things like firewoks and thunder storms and all loud scary noises. Well, on furiday night da neighbors set off a few dat sounded mostly like a car backfire, so to mommy’s surprise me ignored them and so did Raena. But last night was da real test.
Yep, last night da town put on it’s big fireworks show. We live a couple miles from da place they set them off, but they were loud enuff fur us to hear them through da closed doors and windows. And da flashes of colored lights could be seen through our mini blinds. When they started da show Raena had been sleepin’ up on da cat tree and me had been getting a drink from da fountain on da bathroom vanity. One loud boom. Two loud booms and Raena’s head pawpped up. Mommy held her breath as she told Raena dat everythin’ was alright. Third loud boom and…Raena put her head back down and went to sleep. Mommy let out dat breath she was holdin’ and suddenly me appeared. Mommy took another deep breath and held it. Me peeked ‘round da corner of da table sittin’ by her chair and then up at Raena. Fourth big boom and me held me’s ground all da while starin’ at Raena. Hmmmmmmm She ain’t payin’ any attention to dat noise me thought. And, she seems just fine. So me went over to mommy fur a little luvvin’ and to let her know she could breathe again. And then me settled in and started playin’. Yep, sure ‘nuff, me played ‘stead of hidin’ out fur da whole hour of noisy fireworks. Mommy is sooooooo purroud of me…and Raena too of course.
But, it didn’t stop there. Later last night, we had a thunderstorm. Yep, all dat gun powder shot in da skies caused it to rain. Mommy says dat’s not why, but you can’t prove it by me. Anyways, we had a big ole thunderstorm, and Raena and me both slept right through it. Mommy’s so purroud and happy today dat we both got treats befur brekky. Treats befur brekky!!! We never get treats befur brekky, but we did this meownin’.
Don’t furget how well I take mines medicine sis Dezi.
Uh, yeah, thanks fur remindin’ me Raena. As you can see in da fotos, Raena’s eyes and nose are still givin’ her some purroblems, so she’s takin’ this yucky sticky medicine to clear it up; and mommy says dat Raena’s a real champ and takes her medicine without any fights or arguments. So it’s a very Blest Sunday indeed. And we wanna fank awnty Anonymous fur da green papers to pay fur Raena’s VET visit. Mommy believes all kittens, puppies and other baby animals should get their baby core vaccinations. Beyond dat, is up to you and your VET and maybe da law. So dat means we have recurring visits fur Raena every 3 weeks. She has 2 more visits befur she’ll be thru, and then she’ll need a spay around October when she’s 6 months old. Mommy doesn’t like to do them any younger.
Anyways, me’s gonna wrap it up fur today. We wanna pawlogize fur not commentin’ much this weekend. Mommy’s had a really bad pain in her lower back dat sends a sharp shooting pain thru her body everytime she leans furward to type. So we’s been visitin’ and readin’, we just didn’t do much commentin’. Hopefully she’ll feel better soon. We’s joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. Sis Raena got a few lap selfies as you can see, so she wanted to join up and show off. Me’s selfie was taken last night after da fireworks. Me’s chillaxin’ and doesn’t have a care in da world. ‘Member to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur da many blessings in your life.
Dear Dezi and Raena, It is wonderful news that you girls braved the storms, the fireworks and all the new noises! Good work, dear ones! We wish you and your mom a wonderful, safe and quiet holiday filled with quality “alone” time. Pat/Maggie/Felix
I’m so proud of you both! We have had fireworks and gunshots all afternoon. Molly is very upset and mom gave her a heavy sedative which still isn’t keeping her calm. I’m normally very upset by fireworks but so far I’ve been brave! Mom’s anxious to see how I fare tomorrow. Ear licks
We’re so happy to hear that you both had very little reaction to the fireworks or the thunderstorm. Kali is not bothered by loud noises but I am occasionally but during our fireworks I was sleeping in a box in mom’s closet and I stayed there. Kali was asleep in the stroller. I guess we are not scared by loud noises anymore.
Hopefully Reana will be finished her meds soon and her nausal problem clears up.
Well Shoko ifin me were allowed in da closet fur box sleepin’ me would stay there durin’ loud noises like thunder storms and such, but alas UTB or da chair are da only places to hide. But mommy’s hopin’ dat Raena will show me there’s nuffin to worry ’bout. Once upon a time me wasn’t afraid, and so maybe me can learn not to be again.
You will remember that there is nothin’ scary bout the fireworks other than the noise. Kali doesn’t make a fuss and never has so I tend to relax. We just go about our business which is usually sleeping when these noises happen.
Well dat’s wunnerful. Me had no fears when me came here but then sis Lexi taught me to run and hide all da time and then she quit doin’ it after me was good and trained. MOL
We think Raena is having a good effect on you, Dezi. No fireworks yet, maybe a few firecrackers…but it’s not dark yet and we’re sure it will start up soon.
You are both such brave kittties and sweet Raena’s selfies are just beautiful. Our big fireworks show is tonight and this will be Mudpie’s big test too!
That is really great that both you girls handled the fireworks so well! We hope Raena gets all better quickly. We also hope your mommy’s back is better soon!
Y’all sure did great and we’re all impressed! We have fireworks non-stop once it starts getting dark. We hope Raena’s eyes and nose get all cleared up soon. Love ya sweeties!
