We won’t be writin’ a lot today cuz mommy has that free exam at the dental clinic. But we did wanna update you all a bit. We told ya’ that last bad fall mommy took really did a number on her. She had the doctor take a look see on Monday, and he said she hadn’t broken anything. that was the good mews. She does have a huge knot and some general swelling that he said should get better in about 6 weeks or so. And then he told her that the falls were only gonna get worse as she gets older. Like she didn’t already know that. MOL
Anyways, we were really happy that most of ya’ were interested in followin’ the progress of AeroGarden. Let me tell ya’, that Raena is keepin’ a real close eye on everything. Y, Last night she tried to run off with another one of those caps. Fankfully mommy saw it all unfoldin’ and was able to grab the cap and replace it befur any damage could be done. But, fanks to Raenas’ watchful eye and antics, mommy realized that we have some sprouts. Yep, sure ‘nuff, we have some baby leaves and stems growin’. Mommy had missed it cuz those little caps are full of humidity with little water drops obscurin’ her vision. Like she needs anything else messin’ with her eyes. MOL

As to the who, that will go with mommy today, you’ll just have to wait and see. Me thinks me got more votes, but one of ya’ pointed out all the reasons you thought it should be me. Ya’ mentioned the chaos of Wally World, the uncertainty and length of the appointment, and mes superior calm demeanor in all situations. Unfurtunately, those are the exact reasons Raena should go. She needs to learn to be calm under pressure and in all situations while still purrfurming her duties. So it falls to mommy to decide who will get to go. How she’s feelin’ and what she thinks she can tolerate play a big part in her decision making.
A couple of you suggested we both go. So we thought we should explain why, that wasn’t a good idea. We would luv it and so would mommy. But, we both do the alert to a syncope incident, so mommy doesn’t need both of us in public. And the common sense and respect fur others comes into play. Mommy will be going to places that generally don’t allow pets/animals, but by law have to allow Service Animals. The actions of one purrson can affect all. So it’s better to take only one of us and remain low key, than to take both of us and insist they allow it. Ifin this was an overnight trip, that would be different, because it takes both of us to purrfurm the duties required. So, we’ll let ya’ know who and what happened in another posty.
This was the box with cheater mac and cheater taters mommy got back in December. Mommy says Fank you sooooooooooo much. She really enjoyed all da goodies in this box. She luvved dat cornbread and those brownies were outta this world. She ate it allllllll up. MOL
We also wanted to address our cheater mac and cheater taters comments. We received an email that said we sounded ungrateful, which couldn’t be further from the truth. It was mostly said to give you all a giggle. Mommy has always called boxed and pre-packaged foods as “cheater” food cuz they’re easy peasy to make. Instead of grating 4 cheeses and baking in the oven fur an hour, cheater mac is made on the stove top in ‘bout 10 minutes. Instead of bakin’, roastin’ or boilin’ and mashin’ up taters, the “cheater” taters can be made on the stove top in less than 5 minutes. Mommy enjoyed the cheater mac and ‘specially those butter flavor taters. We have no clue who sent them to mommy, but we wanted to make sure we pawlogized ifin you thought we were ungrateful cuz that just isn’t true.
Well, we gotta go now, so mommy can get ready. We’ll be by when we can. We hope you’re all stayin’ warm and toasty.
I think cheater food is a good name for them. And I like to make em stretch by adding extra noodles to the sauce and add tuna and peas to mac n cheese. I made a mean stroganoff with Noodle Roni and ground turkey, green beans, mushrooms or anything else I had that would go in there. I raised my son stretching food like that and let me tell ya, boys eat a lot!
Good luck at the dentist and hope everything turns out ok.
Fank you, so did mommy, and dat’s why she’s always called it dat. We had no idea somepawdy thought we were bein’ mean or ungrateful. We’re just glad we could clear it up and pawlogize. Mommy makes it last by usin’ her own noodles and only usin’ a small amount of da powder cheese at a time. Ifin she has real cheese, she’ll add some to it fur an even cheesier taste. She says you can get ’bout 4 to 5 meals outta 1 packet of cheater cheese. She never really thought ’bout addin’ other stuffs to it, but we don’t usually have anythin’ and she can get full on just da noodles. Mommy says she can only ‘magine how much a growin’ boy would eat, but based on us, she says she bets they could eat ya’ outta house and home really quick. MOL Big hugs to ya’ll.
I call my eyeglasses ‘cheaters’! Actually learned that term from the old movie, “How To Marry A Millionaire”, with Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall, and Betty Grable.
Look at those sprouts! How cool is that? Hope all went well at the dentist (I HATE going to the dentist!) and praying you heal faster than the doctor said.
Fank you. We were glad to hear no breakage too cuz mommy said it was really hurtin’ her. But a big know and swellin’ would ‘splain it. Big hugs to ya’ll.
Hooray fur all those sprouts!! Now the trick will be to keep Raena from trying to gobble them up…we have done that here….but we will not tell on each other as to who was guilty here, MOL!!
Hope your dentist visit will be helpfur,and that no syncopal events will happen. Maybe if one of you goes today, then the other shall go next time?
And as if we needed more issues here, the furnace conked oiut the other night…and pawpy needs a root canal job later this week…sigh…January is off to a good start in the trial dept. But we won’t grumble too loudly cause we do know others have far worse troulbes…an dthey don’t grumble at all!
BTW, petcretary knew at once what you meant by the term; Cheater…she has used many of those herself…but now we hardly ever see any spuds or pasta here at all! MOL! (Its not part of their diet style anymore…but sometimes we would love to cheat, in the real sense and indulge in those yummy noms, too!)
Okay sweet girls which ever one of you goes with mommy, be sure to take very good care of her. We will be praying for you and her! sending lots of Purrs and Hugs Pete, The Girls and the Formerly Feral kitties!
And there’s me thinking that food really was called cheater mac lol
Now that you explained what this really is, I think the parcel sender was very thoughtful. I’ve got the impression that it would be pretty hard for the three of you to spend hours on preparing meals.
Fank you, Raena be so proud of da sprouts. She’s takin’ all da credit ya’ know. MOL Mommy’s really happy to see them too. ‘Specially since Raena’s been such a pest with da garden.
Glad we could clear up dat cheater mac thing fur ya’. MOL Mommy used to make lots of homemade meals and she’s quite da baker too. But we just don’t have da money to but groceries anymore, so mommy was extremely grateful fur dat box of goodies. Big hugs to ya’ll.
Dezi, I have a question about syncope incidents – once either of you alerts your mom, what happens? If she knows that a syncope incident is about to take place, is there anything she can do to stop it, or is the course one of these follows inevitable?
Dat’s a great question awnty Jeanne, and ifin ya’ don’t mind, we’ll save da answer fur Service Cat Monday. Mommy says ifin one purrson be skin’, more peeps be thinkin’ it.
I’m glad you didn’t think the question was intrusive. I know your posts are mainly about your skills, etc., but this is a partnership, so I’ve been wondering about the response that your actions elicit.
Of course not. We sometimes furget all da aspects of each event cuz we do it so offen each day. And we also don’t know what or how much peeps actually wanna know. Da only things we find too intrusive is when peeps ask fur fotos of things like us helpin’ mommy in da shower or da pawdee box room and such. And yes, we’ve been asked. And since this is our life and not da movies, mommy be nekkid!!! MOL Ifin ya’ have other questions, you can always ask.
Fanks, mommy says she wasn’t ever a bunny, but fur sure isn’t now. MOL As fur da drivin’, mommy’s been tryin’ to figger dat one out fur years. Since it’s somethin’ we only do in da meownings when mommys body doesn’t work, and durin’ trainin’ she’s always in da chair holdin’ us, she never has free hands to take video or even fotos. Sis Lexi always drove da chair to da bed in da meownings by herself, but now mommy has to make sure it’s in da bedroom at night befur we go to sleep. She says maybe me will take to drivin’ by meself someday, but ifin not, she’s okay with dat too. But she’ll keep workin’ on how to video it.
