Friday Hijack

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. It’s Toss Up/Surprise Furiday and sis Dezi said I’s could take da lead. Isn’t she just da bestest sissy ever? …What’s dat mommy? She didn’t actually say I’s could take da lead? She was tryin’ to tell me to leave her alone so she could eat? Well isn’t dat da same thing? Ifin she’s eatin’ she obviously can’t be here to blog right? …It isn’t da same thing? Well it should be. And who cares, I’s here now and she isn’t. MOL  So anyways, I’s takin’ da lead today.

 Raena laying across pounce tou

It’s been kinda crazy ‘round here this week. Mommy’s had to clean up all da mold from da a/c leak dat still isn’t fixed. Seems da maintenance man didn’t show up this week cuz he worked 3 days last week and dat was 2 more than he wants to work. Da office be closed today, so you know what mommy’ll be doin’ Monday, don’cha’? I’s wouldn’t wanna be da manager dat’s fur sure. You’ll get a clue why Service Cat Monday. Anyways, not sure how much more there is to clean and dry, but it’s lots of fun fur me. Things strewn everywhere…it’s like a kitty playground. Altho’ not sure dat’s what mommy intended. She sure does a lot of hissin’ at me. 

       RAENABELLE MAYCEE!!!!! 

Wooooooops Gotta go eat mines brekky now. See ya’ in a minute.

       Raena, ya’ can’t just hijack da bloggy anytime you want. What ifin me had somethin’ special planned fur today?

Well did ya’ sissy?

       Well, No. But dat’s not da point. It’s me’s bloggy, me was here furst, and me’s da elder cat and Queen of da house.

 Raena laying on the pounce toy

Well sissy, I’s didn’t wanna say anythin’ but since ya’ brought it up… You have been lookin’ a little tired lately. And ya’ might wanna ask mommy ‘bout her beauty tricks fur getting’ rid of those bags unner your eyes.

       RaenaBelle!!! Furstly, dat’s not very nice. But more purrtantly, me’s a cat. Me doesn’t get bags under me’s eyes. And ifin me’s tired, dat would be your fault fur not lettin’ me nap. Didn’t you get da memo? Kittens, dat’s you, are ‘posed to sleep ‘tween 16 – 18 hours a day. 

Oh Catness sissy, I’s might miss somethin’. 

 Dezi laying on the liberty cat tree

       Trust me Raena, you ain’t gonna miss anythin’. We live ‘round a bunch of old folks like mommy. Da most excitement dat happens ‘round here is when da ambulance pulls in and everypawdy’s tryin’ to figger out who it’s fur.

Is dat da noisy thing with all da fun colored lights?

 Pet Parade banner new

       Yes Raena, it’s da noisy thing with all da lights. And me knows, you really like it. Anyways, we’s gotta go finish our brekky. You know what mommy says, “no treats unless you eat all your meal.” But befur we go, we’s joinin’ up with Rascal and Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts fur da weekly Pet Parade. Tell everypawdy bye Raena.

See ya’ll later…or sooner ifin I’s can hijack da bloggy again.

Duck Duck Goose #ChewyInfluencer

Meowllo everypawdy. As ya’ know we’s been re-workin’ our days and postys here. We now have Service Cats Monday, Chaplain Dezi’s Blest Sunday’s, and then nuffin’. We also regularly write postys on Wednesdays and Furidays, but we don’t have a name to give ‘em yet. And why is dat? Well cuz we do write reviews, but not enuff to give them their own day each week. And we write update posty’s and VET postys, but fankfullly not nearly enuff to even give them a day a month. Raena would Amen dat, big time. So fur now you’re just gonna get a toss up Wednesday and Furiday till we figger it all out. And today’s gonna be one of those reviews.

 Dezi sits in a chewy box

As most of ya’ know we’re Chewy Influencers and they send us a couple purroducts every month to try out and tell you all ‘bout. Well when we got our box this month we couldn’t wait to jump right in. Some of you may ‘member me’s little health scare a little over a year ago and da subsequent nom changes mommy made ‘round here. She’d like me and Raena to be eatin’ a totally raw diet, but me’s just not ready fur dat yet, so we’s eat da next bestest thing, freeze dried raw.

 Stella and Chewy's Duck duck gose freeze dried cat food

So when mommy opened da box and we saw a bag of Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose freeze dried cat food, we thought it was dinner time. Furst let me tell ya’ a little ‘bout da freeze dryin’ purrocess. Freeze dryin’ locks in vital proteins, vitamins, minerals, natural enzymes and amino acids dat us kitties need. It also locks in da flavor so dat it still tastes furesh. Let’s see what da Chewy website says ‘bout Stella and Chewy’s freeze dried cat food. 

Key Benefits

  • Suitable for all stages of life

  • Includes parsley for added vitamin K

  • Naturally preserved with mixed tocopherols

  • Pumpkin seed aids in digestion

  • Grain-free & Gluten-free formula reduces allergic reactions

  • Made in the USA!

Here’s da ingredient list fur da Duck, Duck Goose dinner: 

 

Duck (Ground with Bone), Turkey, Turkey Liver, Goose, Turkey Gizzard, Pumpkin Seed, Potassium Chloride, Sodium Phosphate Monobasic, Choline Chloride, Dried Pediococcus Acidilactici Fermentation Product, Dried Lactobacillus Acidophilus Fermentation Product, Dried Bifidobacterium Longum Fermentation Product, Dried Enterococcus Faecium Fermentation Product, Taurine, Tocopherols (Preservative), Zinc Proteinate, Zinc Sulfate, Iron Sulfate, Iron Proteinate, Vitamin E Supplement, Niacin, Copper Sulfate, Copper Proteinate, Riboflavin, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Manganese Proteinate, Thiamine Monnitrate, Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin D3 Supplement, Folic Acid, Calcium Iodate, Vitamin B12 Supplement.

Well we don’t see any of those questionable ingredients dat so many worry ‘bout and avoid. And maybe a couple little known facts ’bout an ingredient or two. Did you know dat parsley also helps with bad breath? And punkin’ seeds are pawrt of a natural de-wormer. Me knows all ’bout dat one cuz mommy used it with me when me was a baby. Anyways, da noms also come in several flavors and a doggy furmula too. And they recently started makin’ it available in several sizes. We received da 9 ounce bag, but it’s also available in a 3.5 oz. 12 oz. and 18 oz. bag dat we have on auto ship. Purrice ranges from $8.99 to $35.99 and this is a complete and balanced meal fur all life stages. So let’s get to da tastin’ and testin’.

 Bowl of Stella and Chewy's duck duck goose freeze dried nuggetsStraight outta da bag, no water added.

As you know, we always tell da truth, so dat bein’ said, we already eat Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose freeze dried dinner on a regular basis. It can be fed straight outta da bag, da way we like it, or with added water or broth. Da little nuggets are soft and mommy says there’s a small bone in each peace almost. She knows dat cuz she has to break each piece in half fur me. Yes, we are entirely too spoiled. But mommy says she wouldn’t have it any other way. Anyways, me luvs Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose. Sometimes me will pick it outta da plate and eat it furst. So me gives it a full four paws up.

 Dezi eating freeze dried noms

(Dezi yells over her shoulder) Raena!!! Do you wanna tell everypawdy what you think ‘bout da noms? 

      

       (Raena running down the hall)  Yes Sissy, fank you. I’s was in da pawdee box. Oh Catness, we’s already here. Ya’ll just ignore dat furst pawrt. (stretches paws and claws and clears throat) Well I’s luv da duck, duck, goose noms. I’s always pick ‘em outta da plate and eat those nuggets furst. They fur sure get a 4 paws up from me. And me luvs how mommy calls us to dinner. She says, “Come on girls it’s time for some duck, duck, gooooooooose.” 

 Raena eating freeze dried cat food

Yeah Raena, mommy can be silly sometimes can’t she?. And speakin’ of mommy, let’s ask her what she thinks ‘bout da Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose noms. 

 Raena peaking out of a chewy box

 

  Thank you girls. I like that it’s nutritious, good for you, doesn’t contain a lot of questionable ingredients, is made here in the USA, and most of all that ya’ll like it. The morsels are very soft and therefore we often get a bag that has a lot of crushed pieces that look a bit like sawdust. Altho’ this would be fine for kitties who eat it with water or broth mixed in (would mix up much like a pate’ food), it means waste for us. Since ya’ll won’t eat it with water or broth we need the nuggets to be intact. Thankfully, Chewy has amazing Customer Service and always makes it right. So I give Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose dinner 2 thumbs up. I would like to mention that there has been some talk about Stella and Chewy recalls. I did some research on this and found only a few recalls and that Stella and Chewy’s voluntarily issued those. I feel completely safe giving this food to you girls. 

 

Fanks mommy. So there ya’ have it, 8 paws total and 2 fumms up fur Stella and Chewy’s Duck, Duck, Goose and Chewy’s Customer Service Team. Now me knows you wanna get your own bag, so head over and check it out. And while you’re there, have a look around. Chewy carries lots of pawsum purroducts fur your furry and non furry furmily members. And you can save a few dollars by settin’ up an auto ship so you never run outta your bestest furiends supplies again. Chewy offers speedy furee shippin’ on all orders of $49.00 or more and a flat rate of $4.95 fur all other orders. To see more reviews this month head on over to da Chewy blog hop.  Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Blest Sunday Thank Yous

Meowllo and welcome to a brand new Blest Sunday. As you all know this is our favorite posty of da week. It’s da time we recount any blessings from da past week and tell you all how very lucky and blest we are to have you as pawrt of our lives. We think any oppurrtunity to give thanks and say I luv you should never be passed up. Life is so short, and we don’t wanna waste a minute of it. So, let’s get to our furst blessing of da week.

 Dezi in a frame surrounded by blue flower petals

As you know, cuz we told ya’, sis Raena wasn’t eatin’. Now kitties really shouldn’t go without eatin’ in general, but fur sure a growin’ kitty needs every meal to grow healthy and strong. Mommy does everythin’ she can to purrvide us with da bestest pawssible food, thus it’s quite ‘spensive. Once our noms ship out from Chewy, there’s no more money fur anythin’ else. So ifin we turn up our noses at da food dat arrives, we’re in somethin’ of a pickle. Well, dat’s ‘zactly what happened this month. Sis Raena tried to bury every plate in da house. She just didn’t wanna eat anythin’ mommy offered her. Of course mommy began to say her “eat” purrayers and Raena asked you all fur some purrayers. And voila, Furiday saw answered purrayers when Raena ate her plate of food and half of me’s plate and asked fur more. WooHoo  Keep those purrayers comin’ cuz Raena seems ‘bout as fickle as dat pickle.

 

 

       Sissy, don’t furget to tell everypawdy ‘bout mines spa day.

 

 

Well Raena, since you so rudely innerrupted, why don’t you tell them ‘bout your spa day. (Dezi thinks back to her spa day and shivers) 

 Raena in a frame with blue flowers

      

       Fank ya’ sissy, I’s will. Two pawsumly Anonymous awnties donated to our PayPal fur mines spa day, so it’s fur sure gonna happen on October da 8th. I’s told mommy to be sure and put a reminder on da calendar fur dat day and to ‘member to take da camera. She says I’s might not want mines foto taken dat day, but I’s can’t ‘magine ever not wantin’ mines foto taken. I’s luvs da camera and mommy says da camera luvs me. Anyways, I’s gotten a little side tracked here. I’s wanna fank you awnties Anonymous fur makin’ sure I get mines spa day. 

 

Me’s glad you’re gettin’ your spa day Raena. And yes, a meowsy big Fank you to our awnties Anonymous. There’s even enuff to get Raena a special treat dat day. As always, we are so grateful to have all of you as our furiends and furamily. We luv you all and purray God’s blessings on each of you. Me’s gonna wrap it up now and head on over to da cat tree fur a mid meownin’ nap.
