(Dezi stretches and yawns and moves up between mommy’s legs to start the morning massage routine. Mommy A looks down at Dezi and wonders what time it is since the bedroom’s still so dark. Raena joins Dezi and they help mommy A get up and get to the bathroom to start the day. Mommy A opens the door and they all look out at the dark gloomy sky.) Oh Raena, me sure hopes you enjoyed the chirpin’ birdies the other day. Looks like Old man Winter showed back up today.
Old man Winter? That looks more like Rumblin’ Storms. I’s not heard anythin’, but it sure looks like we could befur the day’s over. You ain’t gonna go into hidin’ are ya’?
How many times does me have to tell ya’? Me’s not hidin’ Raena, me’s purrtectin’ you and mommy by checkin’ fur intruders. You’d be surpurrised what kinda pesky critters can get inside the house.
Sure sissy, whatever you say. Anyways, It’s Blest Sunday, and storms or not, I’s feelin’ Blest. Ya’ know we went to see mommy’s doctor the other day and she showed him her ouchie from that fall. He gave her a good once over and took somethin’ called an x-ray and said fanky fankfully, she didn’t break it, but ‘pawrently she chipped it, a bone that is. I’s don’t know what that means, but he said it’s gonna take a good 6 months befur all the swellin’ goes down and it stops hurtin’. Mommy said she’d chipped a bone befur and while the pain might eventually go away, old man arfur-itis is gonna visit fur the rest of her life. We’re just grateful she didn’t do any real damage.
Sure ‘nuff Raena. She sure does get x’cited tho’ when we try to massage it. MOL Ya’ know, we were readin’ one of our furiends bloggy’s the other day and they were meowin’ ‘bout de-clutterin’. Mommy said this year she was gonna be doin’ some of that herself.
Hmmmmm Ifin mommy throws out our stuffs we’ll
just have to play with her stuffs. MOL
Does that mean she’s gonna throw stuffs away? She better not be thinkin’ ‘bout throwin’ any of our stuffs away. Maybe we need to get some post its like our furiend Bear.
What on earth fur Raena?
So we can mark all our stuffs so mommy doesn’t throw somethin’ out by mistake.
Oh Purrlease, mommy’s not gonna throw our stuffs out. Least me doesn’t think so??. Me’s sure the de-clutterin’ will include all her stuffs. Ya’ know, she don’t need half the stuffs in that closet. Ifin she threw most of it out, maybe we could go in there and see what it’s all ‘bout.
That sounds like fun sissy. I’s think mommy’s bringin’ our brekky. We better go eat. We sure are blest to have such a luvvin’ mommy.
Mmmmmmm Did Somepawdy say brekky?
We are at that Raena. Blessings come in all forms. We’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your life. And we really do wanna fank you all fur bein’ a pawrt of our lives.
Don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.
Like you’d let me furget. C’mon, let’s go eat brekky.
It sure is sissy. Mine’s paw beans don’t like it one bit. The floor is burrrrrrr cold.
(Mommy A opens the door and window blinds. Dezi and Raena get their first look out for the day) OMC When did that happen mommy? Look’it Raena, it’s all white outside…mostly…okay, in patches. Anyways, it’s enuff. And, it’s New Years Eve.
What is that?!!
Oh sissy, what is all that? I’s don’t like it. Nope, not at all, I’s don’t like it. And why’s it so cold? How cold is it?
Eh, me’s seen it befur. It’s no big deal so long as
we can all stay together and cuddle.
Well Raena, it looks like snow. But, mommy just checked and says it’s mostly ice. As fur how cold it is, the weather guessers say it’s t’ween 5° and 10°F below 0. That’s just too cold fur us Southerners. Fankfully, we’re all gonna be stayin’ right here together so we can snuggle and stay warm.
It can’t get inside, right sissy?
Below 0? Did you really meow below 0? I’s sure hope the kitty we fed found some place warm to hang out. We couldn’t find it the last couple of times we went out, so we purrayed somepawdy had taken it in. ‘Course, we left food, but there’s no tellin’ who might be eatin’ that. Ya’ know, we might be feedin’ the coons and pawsums.
We know, but fur us Southerners’ this is pawful. MOL
That’s okay Raena, everypawdy’s gotta eat some time. Anyways, as me meowed earlier, it’s New Years Eve. Tomorrow starts a brand new year. So let’s furget ‘bout the white stuffs and the cold fur a minute and look back over the last year.
Sounds good to me sissy. It’s been a tough year, but a year full of blessings, none the less.
Yep, we started the year lettin’ everypawdy know ‘bout how bad mommy’s teethies had been and tryin’ to get her some help. Which fankfully happened and come February, everypawdy’s gonna see mommy’s new pain furee, infection furee fauz teethies smile. We also ran a weekly post called Service Cat Monday in which we featured mommy’s Trainin’ Tips/Tricks/Techniques fur all kitties and woofies too. We answered all kinds of questions from our readers and furiends. We can’t wait to get back to those in the new year. We hope ya’ll look furward to them as much as we do.
Sweet Lexi gettin’ and givin’ lots of luvvin’.
And in March, we cried as we mourned the one year anniversary of sis Lexi leavin’ us fur heaven. And ‘membered all the luv she gave and got and the amazin’ Service Cat she had been. And, we celebrated the majesty that had been her life. She will always be a pawrt of us and will always be remembered.
And in April we celebrated mine’s furst birthday. In June, we really celebrated the day mommy saved me and gave me this pawsum life I’s have now. And, don’t furget all the goodies we’ve reviewed over the past year. And we’ve even gotten to hold some give aways. I’s hate that Lexi had to go away fur me to be here, but I’s sure am blest to have such an amazin’ home, mommy and sissy.
We’re blest to have you too Raena, even ifin me doesn’t always act like it. We truly are 2 blest kitty girls. 2018 is gonna be even better. We don’t really know what’s in store fur us past today, but we know that as long as we have each other, we are Blest.
That’s the truth sissy. And, we do kind’a know somethin’ that’s gonna be happenin’ in January. We’re startin’ the new year off with a bang. I’s mean, with a give away. That’s right, and even our UK furiends will have the chance to win this one. We can’t hardly wait.
Me’s with ya’ on that one Raena. Anyways, Christmas left us with some great food and a few gifts from our angels. Raena and me both got new mousies and balls and that great hexbug we showed ya’ the other day. Fank you uncle Pete, Timmy, Einstein and furmily. Fank you Cat, Nugget and awnty Lisa, and fank ya’ll fur the gift card. Mommy says it’s a real blessin’. Fank you fur everythin’ awnty Belinda, we’re even grateful fur the calmin’ collars you sent…mommy ‘specially. Mommy’s really enjoyin’ her PawPaw ointment and we’ve had a dab or two as well. Fanks again to LouLou, awnty Suzanne and uncle Don, we’re still enjoyin’ turkey tom lurkey. Fanks awnty Vonda fur the nip of the vine and the treats. And fank you fur the green papers fur mommy. And fanks to awnty Anonymous fur the green papers as well.
And a meowsy big fanky fanks to awnty Cindy and uncle Marshall fur the noms and mommy’s new bathrobe. And, a great big meowsy Fanky fank you all fur bein’ our furiends and a big pawrt of our lives. We look furward to many more years with you all. MeOW sissy, we sure are blest.
That we are Raena, that we are. As always, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur the blessings in your life.
Don’t furget our last plandid selfies of the year with the Kitties Blue, sissy.
MeOW Hey Raena, hurry up. It’s Blest Sunday. Even better, it’s Christmas Eve. We’ve got lots to be fankful fur and lots to do to get ready fur tomorrow.
I’s comin’ sissy. I’s was helpin’ mommy with our Christmas carols. She says she’s gonna try to make a slideshow fur our video since we don’t have the fancy equipment needed to make a real video. And, I’s saw turkey tom lurkey move from the freezer to fridge. I’s so x’cited, I’s can’t hardly wait. I’s just luvs Christmas time!!!
Me too Raena, me too. We wanna say a meowsy big fank you to everypawdy/kitty/doggy that sent us cards and gifts. Fanks to those who sent mommy foods fur Christmas and thru out this past year. Fank you to those who sent gift cards and paypal greenies. We have so many angels. We fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. Two little kitty girls and their disabled mommy are blest beyond measure, we’re filthy rich with luv.
And fanky fanks to all who helped with mommy’s teethies purroblems this past year. She feels sooooooo much better. And come February, she’s gonna have a whole new smile. Hey sissy, did you know mommy wrote a poem fur today?
Yep, me did Raena. Let’s post it and get outta here and help mommy finish our video. Furst, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives.
We gotta link up with the Kitties Blue right quick fur Christmas Eve Sunday Selfies.
We’re workin’ hard on those carols and hope to have them posted early. So, ifin ya’ get a minute tomorrow stop by and join us fur a carolin’ sing along. We purray you all have a very Blest Christmas.
Hurry Raena, we’ve gotta write our Blest Sunday posty. Mommy has to go.
I’s not like it, sissy, I’s not like it one bit. Just how does she think she’s gonna manage without us?
Me doesn’t know, Raena. She’s never done this befur. Least not in me’s life time. Me ‘members sis Lexi used to meow ‘bout it, but that was a long time ago. All me knows is that mommy said she needed to try to do this. She never wants us to be in a pawsition to run outta noms ever again. And she wants to be able to take you to the V E T to find out what’s wrong with your eyes without havin’ to worry ‘bout what it’s gonna cost or ifin she’s gonna be able to affurd it. She said it isn’t like it’s furever, it’s just a few weeks.
A few? I’s thought she said 6 weeks?!! Doesn’t matter, I’s just don’t like it.
Well Raena, me’s not to happy ‘bout it either, but mommy always knows what’s bestest. She says she needs to at least try, so me thinks we should be suppurrtive. After all, standin’ in a cold barn fur 6 hours pickin’ the yucks outta pecans that she happens to be ‘lergic to, on a conveyor belt doesn’t sound like somethin’ mommy would do fur fun. It’s not like she’s goin’ out to that farm to play with the cows and horses.
I’s guess you’re right sissy. We better be on our bestest behavior and say lots of extra purrayers fur mommy. Meowin’ of purrayers, we’ve been sayin’ extras fur all our furiends lately. We know this time of year can really be hard on some, and we’ve been askin’ God to be sure and let everypawdy know how much they are luvved and that we’re here fur ‘em. The song below actually happens here more than ya’ might think, so we thought we’d share it with ya’. At least one of ya’ needed to hear this today.
We have at that Raena. You know we thought it was gonna be a purretty bare Christmas this year. And then, outta nowhere, we received some purretty amazin’ blessings. Awnty Cindy and her brofur uncle Marshall and the kitties sent mommy, and us of course, a nice big roast and butter fur butter spoons, and, cheese and hawaiin bread, mommy’s coffee, those chocolaty chippy brownies and even a gift fur mommy. Fank ya’ll so very much. We can’t wait fur mommy to cook up that tasty roast.

And, the very next day sissy, we got a box from that yummy Pittman Davis company that has those tasty turkey tom lurkeys. fanky fanks to LouLou, awnty Suzanne and uncle Don, we’re havin’ smoked turkey fur Christmas.
Can we cook him now mommy?
(Dezi licks lips) And fur days after too Raena. Me can’t hardly wait. Me can still ‘member the one they sent us last year. Mmmmmmmm We are so very blest.
Yep sissy, mommy spent most of the week cryin’ those happy tears.
Yeah Raena, that’s our mommy. She’s a very emotional peep. That’s okay, we’re purretty emotional too. We wanna remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the Blessings in your life. There’s still time to hop on the Blessing Train fur our 12 Days of Blessings. Altho’ we’re not so sure it’s a blessing yet, we’re fankin’ God fur the oppurrtinutiy mommy got to make a few dollars. So, our blessing today is Opportunity. Mommy says, when oppurrtunity knocks, ya’ gotta answer.
Don’t furget, we’re also linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies, sissy. And with mommy bein’ gone, we’ll have to visit when we can. Hopefully, she’ll be able to help us some when she gets home. She’s leavin’ us here cuz she says it’s not fair to make us sit out in the cold all day when there’ll be so many peeps ‘round that could help her ifin she needs it. Hmmmpht They can’t alert, I’s say.
Raena!!! Be nice. Fank you all fur your luv and furiendship. We’ll be ‘round to visit soon.
