Anudder Blest Sunday, and it is a blessin’ weez here. Oh it’s nuffin’ serious, least dat’s what mommy sez. See ow catputer duz this fing called updatin’ on Caturdays. Mommy sez all ‘puters do it, it’s a necessary evil. She sez pawt of it happens when sumfin’s workin’ too good. Da developers panic and get togedder and cweate an update dat makes everyfin’ mess up so yous hav to buy sumfin’, or install sumfin’ els. And mommy has changed da day, times, method and anyfin’ els hers can change to make dat updatin’ smoother so it won’t interfere wiff ow visitin’ and stuffs and nun of it worked. It still duz its updates when it wants too. Weez always watchin’ these shows ‘bout catputers comin’ to life and finkin’ fur themselves and twyin’ to delete da hoomans, and finkin’ it’s all fiction. Well mommy sez wake up; it’s alweady happened. MOL And to top it off, in da last year since we got ow pawsum camewas mommy has taken so many fotos of us dat ow storage is on overload. In udder words weez runnin’ slow as molasses in winter wound here.
Sis Lexi be turkey beggin’. Dat means she’s twyin; to get mommy to giv hers sum more of dat turkey off hers plate. MOL
Well a foo weeks ago mommy got one of those fings called a fumm dwive to move ow fotos too and clear up sum space/memowy so ow ‘puter can get back on twack. Hers just not had much time to get it dun. So yesfurday in da middle of all da updatin’ and fureezin’ mouseys mommy decided to do sum cleanin of hers own in ow foto folders. OMC Now dat’s a lot of work. Took most of yesfurday, but hers made it all da way fwu……Wanna guess how many folders her got dun? No? Well let me tell ya’, 1 folder dat’s how many, just 1. And on top of all dat hers needs to get out da leaf blower and make sum headway in da plethewa of leaves all over ow porch and walkway. Yous oughtta see mommy and da leaf blower. OMC What a sight.

MOL Mommy got one whole foto folder cleaned up and uploaded 50 more fotos. MOL And we sure hope you all had a wunnewful Fanksgivin’ and weekend. In da little bit of visitin’ we got to do yesfurday we saw dat a foo of you actually bwaved da crowds and went shoppin’ on Furiday.

At least what hasn’t alweady stawted. Weez been gettin’ da emails since yesfurday tellin’ us all ‘bout it. Meez fankful dat mommy didn’t wanna go out shoppin’ and ‘stead stayed home wiff us. Weez also fankful dat all ow furiends had so much to be fankfull fur. While readin’ da Fank Blogville postys of those of you hoo purrticipated we laffed and cwied tears of joy. It’s so heartwarmin’ to know so many hav so much luv. We weally wish fur those of you dat be sick and hurtin’, dat we kuld fix it fur ya’ and make you all better. But dat not be in ow power so we will purray and ask God to help you. We know He can. We awe as usual so fankful fur all of you ow dear furiends. Blogville is one big extended furmily and we awe so purrivileged to be a pawt of it.
Meez takin’ lessons on turkey beggin’. See how intently me be watchin’ sis Lexi? MOL
OMC Can you believe dat Fanksgivin’ is just 4 days away? Me eever. We hav so much to be fankful fur this year me dusn’t even know where to stawt. Me will stawt wiff meez Gotchaday which wuz yesfurday. Weez didn’t make a big deal of it cuz we celebwate Meow/Birffdays all mumff at ow house and meez Meowday wuz on da 1st and it wuz stormin’ like cwazy here yesfurday. OMC da sky kep lightin’ up and da funder boomers kep boomin’ and da tears fwum heaven kep fallin’. Weez never knew those angels kuld cwy so much. But they must not hav won not one game. Fur those of yous hoo not know what meez talkin’ ‘bout, me will giv you a little refwesher. See mommy splains da storms to us as God and da angels bowlin’, in an attempt to help us not be fwaid. Da funder is da ball rollin’ down da lane. Da lightnin’ is a stwike, and da rain? Da rain is da angels tears when they lose.
Anyways, meez gettin’ a little sidetwacked. Me wanted to tell you dat ifin yous unnewstand dat mommy only bwings a new kitty into da house when anudder passes away, then you will unnewstand dat da holidays be a little bittersweet fur mommy and sis Lexi. They hav experienced so much loss wound da holidays, but they’ve also experienced lots of joy. They say dat me bwought a fwesh ray of sunshine into their lives when me came to liv wiff them 5 years ago. Me hopes so, cuz they sure gave me life. And a wunnewful one at dat. Me gets so much luv. Mommy tells me all da time dat meez her special angel. But you know what? Her wuld never hav to say a word and me wuld still know it. Mommy sez it to Lexi too, but more than dat hers shows us each and every day how special we awe. We awe so blest to hav such a pawsum mommy.
Lexi: We shur arr Dezi. And owr wunderfull furiendz. Der beez soz many weez kuldn’t eeben naym ‘em awl. But youz awl noze hoo youz arr. And OMC jiz da udder day one of doze pawsum furiendz sendid us a “box.” Akshulee it wuz 4 boxez. Weez kuldn’t bulleev it.
Dezi: Yeah Lexi mommy kuldn’t believ it so much so hers kep tellin’ us to leav da boxes alone till hers found out whether there wuz a mistake or not. See awnty Ann told us to be spectin’ a Chewy box, so when da UPS man came we saw all those boxes and just figgered one of ow neighbors had learned ‘bout Chewy too. But NOPE, hims bwought all 4 boxes into ow house. And they all had ow names on ‘em, so mommy opened ‘em up, and there she found 2 big ole bags of ow favowit litter, SwheatScoop. Dat wuz a whole 50 pounds of wheat. Yippeeeeee But dat wusn’t all. There wuz 4, count ‘em 4 cases of da wet noms and 2 bags of da little shwimpy tweats too. OMC Wuz all dat fur us? Mommy had da leaky eyes fur hours and fawt there musta been a mistake and we shuld return sum of this. So hers told us to stay away fwum da boxes till hers found out what we needed to send back. Well after talkin’ wiff awnty Ann mommy learned dat there wusn’t a mistake at all. Dat she meant fur us to hav all dat. Yep yous guessed it, da dam bwoke in mommys eyes again. Since awnty Ann just retired fwum hers job and didn’t know when she might be able to send us anyfin’ els, she wanted us to hav a big shipment of goodies. Weez weally wanna Fank You bunches and bunches awnty Ann. Dat wuz so pawsum of yous to do this fur us. We hav been so blest by you dat weez can’t even begin to splain what dat meant to us.
We hav 1 more material blessing we wanna tell you all ‘bout today. Weez never had any of those I purroducts. Yous know da Apple stuff? But mommy’’s heard gweat fings ‘bout da company and of course like pawently evewypawdy els hers had always wanted one. But they be way outta ow purrice range, so it wuz just wishful finking. Altho’ fur years mommy has entered contests, drawings, you name it ifin they wuz givin’ away an apple anyfin’ mommy wuz enterin’. but alas, she never won. well it’s dat time of year when da folks wound here stawt havin’ there holiday giv aways, and sure nuff, there were sevewal dat wuz givin’ away those iPads. Yep, mommy wuz signin’ up alwight. And as many times as hers kuld too. Guess what? SHE WON!!! Mommy won an iPad Air. Don’t ask us why it’s called an air or what’s diffewent ‘bout it than da wegular iPads, but it seems purretty cool. Looks like now, mommy has no excuse fur not bein’ a little more activ wiff ow instagram account. MOL Cept she duz keep sayin’ sumfin’ ‘bout da typin’ ain’t easy. It has this keyboard on da scween, and mommy’s a two handed typer, so she sez she’s all fumms. Hmmpht We can’t get any fumms and dat’s all mommy has. Just don’t seem wight. Not wight at all. Anyways, mommy’s gunna be playin’ wound and twyin’ to learn how to use this new toy of ows.
So don’t yous agwee dat we be blest? Ow biggest blessin’ udder than each udder is you. We luv all ow furiends so much. Sumtimes you hoomans just don’t hav words enuff to expwess sumfin’, so we kitties say: Purrrrrrrrrrrr and many many purrayers.

Nylablue we will miss you, but we know you awe no longer in pain and hav been restored to yous former selff. Altho’ we fawt you wuz pawsumly gawjus everyday wight up fwu da end. Don’t you worry weez’ll be lookin’ out fur Miss Sherri-Ellen. Weez sendin’ lots and lots of purrayers and hugs. Ifin you haven’ alweady, pop on over and read her touchin’ goodbye to everyone. She wuz a very special kitty girl, and so is hers mommy. And ifin yous wunnewin’ what loss has to do in a Blest Sunday posty then let me tell you. First, death is just anudder pawt of life. But those hoo leav us awe offen fur da first time in a long time, no longer sick or in pain. Isn’t dat a blessin’?

Well it be Blest Sunday again, and ow favowit posty of da week. We posted ow very special Fank you post last week, and told you dat we got da steps fur sis lexi, but we didn’t hav a chance to weally show them off or tell you ‘bout them. So we wanted to take today to do dat. We told you dat they wuz made by hand special fur Lexi and ow bed. And all dat be twu. We picked a set of steps dat we liked and talked wiff Mr. Mike Duffe da owner and cwaftsman of Duff-N-Stuff Pet Steps ‘bout sum specifics. Hims has sum steps in da average measurements, but member weez hav a hospital bed and it be taller than most beds. And we be much bigger than da average household kitty.
Ifin yous can’t see da video, purrlease click here.
So mommy talked wiff Mr. Mike ‘bout da measurements we needed and dat we wanted dat cool back so we kuld use it fur storage. And mommy got da household cawpet cuz it be softer and will hold up much longer wiff us usin’ it as a scwatcher first fing in da meownin’. And mommy also picked out da stain hers wanted fwum a very lawge list. Notice we sed stain and not paint. Know why? Cuz they awe made of REAL wood. Yep da real fing. Not pawticle board or fake wood or plastic. They be steps dat will hold up under way mowe than nowmal kitty use. And cuz they be REAL wood, they can even hold mommy. What we be sayin’ is dat you can weally custom make yous steps. Now we fink Mr. Mike kuld purrawlly make purretty much anyfin’ yous might need, so why don’t yous check out his store wight here. There’s all kinds of goodies.
Ifin yous can’t see da video purrlease click here.
Now back to ow special steps. We kuld hav never got these steps ifin not fur all of you. So we wanna say a meowsy big Fank you again fur givin’ in da fundraiser. We luv these steps. Mommy wishes her kuld move in da meownin’ so hers kuld take da fotos and videos of us puttin’ ‘em fwu it. You know, down da steps to get da chair and then back up da steps to get mommy. And then a scwatch or two and down halfway to da chair and so on. Neever one of us has jumped on da bed since we got them set up. Why shuld we? Those steps awe just pawsum. If yous wecall they came in 2 diffewent boxes so dat meant mommy had to put them togevver fur us, and so we fawt we wuld let her tell you ‘bout dat. So take it away mommy.
Me luvs sissy’s new steps too.
Mommy: Thank you sweety. As Dezi said the steps did come in 2 separate boxes, and arrived a couple of days apart. There were no instructions but it was pretty self explanatory. There were 2 screws and 2 holes that matched up. Can’t get much simpler than that right?. MOL That’s what I thought. The first screw was pretty easy once I figured out how to prop the steps up, but the second was a bit harder to reach. I call them screws, but they didn’t actually have a head for a screwdriver, and not knowing much about tools I don’t know what the tool is called you should actually use. I finally used some large wire cutters because that’s all I have, and was able to tighten the screws in so that the steps are sturdy. I love them as much as the girls. And seeing the look of success on Lexi’s face when she gets on the bed by herself makes those steps priceless.
Fank you mommy. Weez sure do luv ‘em. As always we awe so extwemely blest. We hav each udder and all of you and these pawsum steps. We wuld like to ask you to continue to purray fur ow sweet furiend Nylablue and hers mommy Miss Sherri Ellen. There awe so many of ow furiends dat be sick, and so many hav gone to heaven lately dat sum days we don’t know if we wanna visit or read posts.
