Raena sniffs the treat bag from Chewy

Blest Sunday: Resurrection Sunday and a Chewy Box

Published on April 16, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.25 Comments

MeOW What a week. We’re havin’ Montezuma type storms. Mommy says somethin’ ‘bout April showers bringin’ May flowers, but me doesn’t think these storms are gonna bring anythin’ good.

Hey sissy, I’s not think Montezuma storms is right. What does that even mean?

It means they’re bad Raena. And ifin me wants to call them Montezuma storms, me can.

You’re right sissy. But other than the storms, it’s been a good week. We got good news ‘bout mommy, had a play date with furiends, and I’s got a Chewy box full of Birthday gifts. And now, it’s Resurrection Sunday.

That’s true Raena. No matter what else is happenin’ there’s always blessings in everythin’. Our church has been havin’ their annual Easter Campmeeting this week too. You know how much we luv mommy singin’, and all week there’s been lots of singin’ and worship.

I’s luvs purrayer time too, sissy. You know, mommy always puts her hands on us and thanks God fur us and asks Him to keep us healthy and happy.

And we always purray fur our furiends and ask God to bless them and their furmilies and to send healing to those in need. We are sendin’ some extra purrayers today fur awnty Barb. We got word while we were purrpurrin’ this posty that our sweet furiend Nellie has left this world. We know sis Lexi and Nellie are zoomin’ like kittens again. They’re purrobably havin’ their own campmetting. Campmeeting is always so much fun. It’s like Blest Sunday, every day. Me’s kinda sad it’s gonna be over.

Me too, sissy. But it’s endin’ on a good note, Resurrection Sunday. The day the peeps celebrate the resurrection of Jesus; the reason we can get answers to our purrayers.

You’re right Raena, and so long as we keep Jesus in our hearts, we can actually continue to celebrate every day. Now, what did you get in that great Chewy box?

Oh sissy, I’s got one of those great Kong scratchers, some fuzzy mice, a great new wand toy, these really cool bubbles, treats and guess what else? We got our very own telepawtin’, time travelin’ tunnel!!! Now all our furiends can just transpawt over in no time. Can you believe it?

That’s pawsum Raena. Me can’t wait to try out that tunnel fur meself. Can you believe mommy thought we’d be ‘fraid of those bubbles? They are so much fun.

They sure are sissy. Mommy blew on this stick and bubbles went everywhere. And they lasted a long time too. Did you see mommy jump when she ran into one of those bubbles in the kitchen an hour after we stopped playin’?

MOL Me sure did Raena. That was sooooo funny. Me thinks she thought it was some kind of giant bug at furst. MOL And hey, don’t furget the pawsum box all those gifts came in.

I’s really like this birthday thing sissy. Can we have another one next month?

Raena, birthdays only happen once a year. But the good news is that next month is mommy’s birthday, and she purrtends it’s ours so we get the birthday treatment all month again.

Really sissy? We are so blest. I’s luvs Chewy too. Fanky fank you fur all mine’s birthday gifts. I’s luvs everythin’. And don’t worry, I’s sharin’ with sis Dezi.

You are, Raena. You’re learnin’ to be a good sisfur. And you’re right again, we are so very Blest. We also wanna say a meowsy big fank you to awnty Vonda fur sendin’ some green papers fur mommy to get us all a little somethin’ special fur today’s celebration. We wanna say fank you to all our furiends fur just bein’ you and sharin’ your lives with us. Each day is a blessing. And we wanna remind you all to take a moment today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives.

And don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur the Sunday Selfies. We hope you all have a blest Resurrection Sunday.

Till the next time………………………………………Be Blest!!!

Blest Sunday: Chatting Cats and Abundance

Published on April 9, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.34 Comments

Well, we furinally made it to Blest Sunday, Raena.

We sure did, sissy. I’s gotta tell ya’, with all the crazies mommy’s been goin’ thru, I’s wasn’t so sure we’d make it. The management tried to sneak in a second inspection this month, and mommy just ‘bout passed out at the doctor’s office. Mommy’s been really tired this last week. Y, just the other day we was visitin’ one of our furiends and next thing I’s knew, mommy had done nodded off right in the middle of readin’ the posty to us.

Yep, me noticed that Raena. Me knows she’s feelin’ better now that the worst of the teethies are gone, but ‘pawrently, baked, smashed taters and Malt o Meal don’t give her any energy. We are so fankful to Uncle and Awnty Hauck, and Hermes, Chip and Chessie fur sendin’ mommy some Malt O Meal cuz the stores here in town still don’t have any in stock; and mommy’s ‘bout tired of taters. MOL

And one of our Anonymous Angels sent mommy some Malt O Meal, Chocolate Mini Muffins, and a big ole bag of M&M’s plain chocolate candies. Mommy says a meowsy big Fank You. She can’t wait to sink her gums into one of those muffins. And while we’re on the subject of mommy’s teethies, we wanna say that mommy has a ride to her follow up ‘pointment this week. We furgot to announce that and a couple of ya’ was askin’. We also would like to say, ya’ don’t need an excuse to come and visit. We luv meetin’ up with our furiends in the fur to face.

We sure do Raena. You’ve actually never met any of our furiends, but me has. They’re so pawsum. We are so very blest to have such amazin’ furiends. Maybe someday, we’ll get to go back to BlogPaws, and you’ll get to meet a lot of them like me did.

That would be so furtastic, sissy. I’s would luvs that. Hey, did you see mine’s furst birthday purresent?

Yeah Raena, me saw that.

I’s was so excited when mommy said awnty Vonda sent me a purresent fur mine’s birthday like she did fur you. I’s wanna say fanky fank you. It was so much fun watchin’ mommy try to put it together. She was all thumbs. Ya’ know we kitties envy those thumbs humans have, but I’s gotta tell ya’, sometimes they can’t do nuffin’ right. MOL Mommy says so far, she’s really luvvin’ the Litter Genie. And I’s luvvin’ usin’ it fur a springboard and a purrch fur checkin’ out everythin’ in the pawdee box room I’s can’t see from the floor.

Is there anythin’ you won’t climb on, Raena? Ya’ know, at some point you’re gonna be too big to jump on everythin’. And besides, mommy hates it when ya’ jump on the ledge of the kitchen trash can.

Yep, sissy, she’s constantly goin’ on ‘bout how we’re not heathens, or white trash. I’s not even know what those things mean. I’s just know that sometimes, there’s somethin’ in there that smells purretty good.

Maybe Raena, but you really should stay down. We get purrlenty to eat, and treats too. You know how blest we are. We’ve not had empty bellies since mommy found us and gave us a furever home. And we’ve never wanted fur luv or furiends. We have the most amazinly pawsum lives. And just think, it’s only 2 more weeks till your furst birthday.

You’re so right, sissy. And I’s can’t wait fur mine’s birthday. We wanna say a meowsy big fank you to all our furiends. We are so blest to have ya’ll in our lives. We hope you’ll take a minute today and every day to give fanks fur the many blessings in your lives.

Fanks Raena, you did good. We’re also joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. And we hope everypawdy has a great week.

Till the next time………………………………….Be Blest!!!

Blest Sunday: Purrs, Prayers and Friends Make Things Better

Published on April 2, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.51 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. We’ve been gone fur like fur-eeeeever, right? And OMC You should see the skies and hear the rumblin’ goin’ on ‘round here. I’s thought Spring was s’posed to be here? Really, everypawdy’s been sayin’ it, and everypawdy can’t be wrong, right?

RaenaBelle, what are you meowin’ ‘bout now?

Everythin’ sissy. Ya’ know we’ve been away fur like…

Yeah, knock it off with that valley cat mew, you’re a Southern Belle. Besides, we told everypawdy we’d purrobably be gone till Blest Sunday. You know, mommy has such a high tolerance to meds, that they have to give her so much to knock her out, it stays with her fur a few days. They’re always in a hurry to wake her up and send her on her way, so that medicine’s just sittin’ there waitin’ to kick in the minute mommy stops. Mommy’s usually wiped out a couple days after a surgery, but right as rain the day of. We call that a blessing. All went well, and mommy can crash at home.

C’mon mommy, I’s all dressed and ready to go.

I’s fur sure didn’t like her leavin’ us here at home, but she was just as chatty when she got home as she was when she left. I’s could hear mommy and her ride in the pawrkin’ lot. They were laffin’ it up befur and after. You know all the nosy neighbors was peekin’ out their doors and windows wonderin’ what was goin’ on.

Yep, and mommy could hear you all the way in the pawrkin’ lot too. Fur those of ya’ that don’t follow us on Facebook, we’ll give you a mommy update now. Mommy pawrently has low sinuses and a couple of the teeth had roots embedded in the sinuses. So mommy isn’t allowed to spit, blow her nose or use a straw fur 2 weeks. One of the lower teeth (a wisdom tooth), was really close to the nerve that controls the feelin’s fur the jaw, lip and chin. So, again, no nose blowin’, spittin’, or straw usage. Don’t want mommy getting’ a dry socket or infection that could lead to paralysis. Mommy also found to her chagrin, No air smooches. Cuz of these complications (pawssible) the dental surgeon wants to see mommy again April 13th just to make sure all is well. Mommy’s lower lip is still a bit numb, but she’s got mouth and jaw exercises she’s doin’ and massages to purrvent swellin’. She’s takin’ an antibiotic and has a swish she uses 3 times a day.

Mommy’s not allowed to eat solid foods fur a whole 2 weeks, and then only soft foods like mac and cheese, waffles/pancakes, baked and smashed taters and pasta; we need to get some Hunts pasta sauce, since mommy ate up all those cans awnty Anonymous sent. Right now she’s eatin’ ice cream, and baked smashed taters. She was gonna get some Malt o Meal hot cereal, but there wasn’t any at da stores here. Mommy doesn’t eat “sick foods” like soups, puddin’s, jello, or fruit sauces/baby foods. Yes, she knows they would be good fur her, and ya’ll don’t unnerstand why she doesn’t like those kinds of things; but, she never has. She didn’t grow up eatin’ those kinds of things and never developed a taste fur them.

Yep Raena, we learned somethin’ really innerestin’ last night. Some peeps call those kinds of foods comfurt foods. But those of us from the South, think somethin’ totally different when ya’ say comfurt foods. Mommy says, she starts envisionin’ chicken fried steak, baked taters and dinner rolls, or chicken and dumplins and bis-kits or roast beef, roasted taters and bis-kits. And of course, baked 3 or 4 cheese mac and cheese is always considered a comfurt food. Anyways, mommy’s doin’ the bestest she can and we’re bein’ the bestest nurses ‘round and takin’ really good care of her.

Could you leave this sweet kitty girl face behind?

Even ifin it’s fur just a few hours?

And even tho’ I’s not happy ‘bout mommy leavin’ us behind, I’s really glad that her ride is/was such a nice lady. Cuz mommy furgot to ask ifin we could use names, we’ll call her, Mrs. Navy. That’s right, she’s a Navy Vet and so is her husband. They also be Christians and attend one of the churches mommy used to play the piano fur. Mommy says they had great conversation goin’ and comin’ home. Yep, mommy was wide awake and totally alert fur the ride home (see sis Dezi’s paragraph above regardin’ medicines and mommy’s tolerances). Anyways, there’s still work to be done in mommy’s mouth when she heals from this purrcedure. So ifin you’d like to donate, you can do so by givin’ directly to our PayPal at: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com or the Fundraiser here.

Yep Raena, hopefully we’ll be able to get mommy’s mouth all fixed up soon. We’d like to say a meowsy big Fank you to The Swiss Cats fur their donation to the fundraiser. Mommy sounds so funny right now. It’s amazin’ how missin’ some teeth in key spots can make a difference in how some words and letters sound. MOL And guess what else? Mommy can’t hiss right now. And Raena’s takin’ full advantage of that. Fank the cats mommy harvested the last of her lettuce early last week.

Are you implyin’ I’s bein’ naughty sissy? Cuz that just ain’t true. (Raena giggles under her breath) Mommy said she had to exercise, and I’s just tryin’ to help her out.

Just her mouth, Raena. She’s not s’posed to be bendin’ over and cleanin’ up after you constantly. (Dezi shakes head)

Whatever, sissy. Anyways, we are so very blest, that everythin’ went well at mommy’s surgery, and that her ride was truly enjoyable and that she came home safe and sound to us. We’re blest that all those complications, haven’t been the purroblem they could have been. And we’re so blest to have the bestest, most suppurrtive furiends in the universe. Fank you all fur your luv, purrs and purrayers. Ifin ya’ don’t mind, keep ‘em comin’. Mommy’s still havin’ some pain and a mix of migraines and sinus headaches.

Me luvs me’s new harness, it’s da storms ragin’ outside

me’s not a fan of.

Hey Raena, me wants to fank awnty Vonda fur me’s new harness and leash. Mommy furinally felt good enuff to get me measured and get it ordered. And it got here yesfurday, just in time fur those really noisy storms. Bein’ in a harness kinda helps me a little durin’ storms. Anyways, me’s now stylin’ right alongside of you. Me can’t wait fur the weather to clear up so me can go out and show it off.

Me got a new leash to match too. But cuz it was stormin’

mommy didn’t put it on me. There was no way me

was goin’ outside in dat weather. MOL

You look great in your new harness sissy. I’s can’t wait fur this warmer weather either. We are so totally blest to have such great furiends, Angels and our luvvin furever mommy. We want to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your life. We are slowly getting’ ‘round to visit everypawdy so we’ll be by to see you shortly.

Hey Raena, don’t furget, we need to link up to the Pet Parade, and Sunday Selfies. We also need to remind everypawdy there’s just a couple more days to enter our LumaSoothe give away. Just click on the Entry foto below.

Till the next time…………………………………………Be Blest!!!

Blest Sunday: Chatting Cats: Heaps of Happy Tears

Published on March 26, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.38 Comments

Hey Raena, where did you and mommy go the other day to get all those britches she’s been washin’?

I’s don’t know sissy, but after we sold our aluminum cans mommy saw a sign and said “Oh my cats Raena, we’ve gotta go back”. We did some kinda middle of the road turn and went into this big store with racks and racks of clothes. She kept throwin’ jeans in this basket till we couldn’t see the bottom anymore.

Well how many green papers till all those blue jeans cost?

What do I’s know ‘bout green papers, sissy? I’s know mommy was happy, and there was purrlenty left over fur treats. What? (Mommy says something to Raena) Oh, okay. Sissy, mommy says they had a bag sale at the Good Will and she got 10 pairs of jeans and a couple dress pants fur $2.00.

Oh, dat’s purretty good. Me thinks she has plans to cut some of them off and make some shorts fur summer. That means she’s gonna be draggin’ out the sewin’ machine soon.

Sewin’ Machine? What’s a sewin’ machine. sissy?

Oh Raena, the sewin’ machine is soooooooo much fun. There’s strings fur playin’ everywhere. Altho’ mommy gets really mad when you walk over the foot pedal. Somethin’ ‘bout a needle goin’ thru her finger. So whatever you do, stay away from that pedal. Me knows it looks like fun, but there’s purrlenty of other things to play with.

There’s a foot pedal? Am I’s gonna learn to sew sissy?

Nope Raena, sewin’ ain’t on our list of duties. It’s kinda like the carpet monster and mop. They exist, but we don’t have to use ‘em.

Well that’s good. Cuz you know this wheelchair drivin’ thing isn’t as easy as I’s thought it would be. But it sure is fun, watchin’ you run. MOL

That’s not nice Raena. Me just wants to make sure you don’t run over me. You can sure be dangerous with that thing. Besides, you’re not s’posed to be watchin’ me. Maybe that’s why it’s takin’ so long fur you to learn.

Mommy says I’s no more dangerous than you were sissy. And that’s I’s right on schedule.

She’s just tryin’ to make you feel better Raena, cuz me’s a wonderful driver.

Sure you are sissy. Like the other day when you ran us into the wall?.

That was your fault Raena. Ifin you hadn’t swiped me’s leg, me wouldn’t have veered off course. Anyways, this isn’t Service Cat Monday, it’s Blest Sunday. And are we ever blest. As we told everypawdy on Furiday, mommy has a ‘pointment to start getting’ her teeths fixed. Ifin anypawdy missed the good mews you can read ‘bout it here. That means the total green papers we need to get all the work done is gonna be less than originally anticipated. Mommy says she’ll have to wait till after the ‘pointment to know exactly how many teeth are removed by the surgeon on Fursday, but she thinks our total will drop by ‘bout a thousand dollars. She will make the adjustment to the fundraiser once she knows fur sure. In the meantime, ifin ya’ wanna help us out, you can donate directly to our paypal at: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com or the fundraiser here.

That’s such pawsum mews sissy. We’re so excited. And we’ve got a pawssible ride, we just need to lock her in. Ifin anypawdy can spare a purrayer we’d purreciate it. The lady we’re talkin’ to is a little scared to drive in the city. But we know she can do it, we just need her to get the courage to say yes. And we’d also like to say a meowsy big fanky fanks to awnty Debbie, Katie and Waffles fur their donation to help mommy. I’s think that Waffles is a handsum kitty boy. But I’s hear he’s a real ladies mancat. And we also wanna fanky fank our Anonymous Angels. They’ve not only helped with green papers, but also in helpin’ mommy navigate the system, and tryin’ to find mommy a ride.

Dat’s right Raena. There’s been a couple times they’ve pulled mommy off the ledge durin’ all of this. And me also wants to say fank you to awnty Vonda and all her kitties. She sent some green papers fur me to get a new harness/vest to match yours and mommy’s furinally well enuff to measure me and get it ordered. Me can’t wait fur it to get here.

Me either sissy. We’ll be stylin’ together.

Sure we will Raena. (Dezi rolls her eyes) Anyways, there’s all the other blessings we’re fankful fur today too. We have a luvvin’ furever home, food in our bellies and on our plates, and the bestest furiends in the universe. We always wanna remind ya’ll to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the many blessings in your lives. No matter what’s goin’ on, there’s always a blessing just waitin’ to be found. Every night we purray and ask God to keep His hands on all our furiends and bless ya’ll abundantly.

I’s luvs purrayer time, sissy. Let’s not furget to link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies befur we go. (The phone rings and Raena rushes to try to answer it before mommy. Mommy grabs the phone and a short conversation ensues. Mommy begins to cry and say a bunch of thank yous and God bless yous.) OMC, OMC, OMC!!!!! While we was writin’ this very posty, the lady mommy’s been talkin’ to ‘bout takin’ her to her surgery ‘pointment called. Guess what she said?

Well Raena, by the tears in mommy’s eyes and the Cheshire grin, It’s a GO!!! Mommy now has a ride to her ‘pointment on Fursday!!! WooHoo (Dezi and Raena zoom thru the house and run up the cat tree and end up together in mommy’s lap) We gotta go and help mommy celebrate. Don’t furget to enter our give away fur that pawsum LumaSoothe by clickin’ the entry photo above. And check out our review here.

We started our online journey to bring awareness to the ability of cats and to help others understand the relationship between a service animal and their handler/person. We offer training tips and tricks that I have learned through the years along with other information on all things feline. We began this journey in 2014 with Lexi and Dezi. They have since gone on to heaven, but our journey continues. This blog is about our daily life from the kitty's point of view. I want this blog to be interactive and get to know all of you, so comment and visit often. I will also offer advice, training tips and education when possible.
