Blest Sunday: Gizzy’s Coming To Dinner

Hey Raena, hurry up. We gotta write our Blest Sunday posty and get ready. 

 

 Dezi and Raena sit on shower benches in bathroom

 

 

          What lit a fire under your bloomers, sissy? And what are we getting’ ready fur?

 

Dezi lays atop the cat tree

Me will just lay here and watch fur Gizzy.

 

 

(Excitedly Dezi meows) Oh Raena, we be the blestest kitties ever. We’re havin’ visitors today. One of me and sis Lexi’s furstest ever awnties and uncles are comin’ here to our ‘pawrtment, to see us!!! And guess what else? They’re bringin’ one of our furstest furiends, Gizmo. We like to call him Gizzy. He’s a sweet tuxie boy that has diabetes. Me just can’t even believe they’re comin’ all the way from Arizona to see us. 

 

          Really sissy? OMC I’s can’t hardly wait!!! We’re gonna have so much fun. Ya’ reckon we can all go fur a stroll? Or maybe we can all play on the cat tree. You are gonna come out and visit with Gizzy, right sissy? 

 

(Flabbergasted, Dezi meows) What?! Of course me’s gonna come out and visit with ‘em. 

 

 Raena lays on floor

 

 

          Hmmpht  We’ll see. Anyways, as we do every Blest Sunday, we’d like to remind all of you to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. As most of you know, our car’s been broke, the wheelchair’s broke, and we didn’t have innernet access fur a bit, so we’re way behind on our visitin’. We purromise we’ll be ‘round as soon as we can. Mommy’s just been a little overwhelmed with all that’s goin’ on and she’s not very good at helpin’ us with catputer stuffs when that happens. But, we are so grateful fur all of you. Fanky fank you all fur bein’ our furiends and understandin’. 

 

Don’t furget Raena, we’re joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.

 

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

Blest Sunday: Emergency Preparedness and Prayers

Hey Raena, do you know what day it is?

 

 Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

          Sure I’s do sissy. It’s time fur our Blest Sunday posty. You know what we haven’t done in a while? 

 

What’s that Raena?

 

Dezi and Raena in a photo frame welcoming friends

 

 

 

          We’ve not welcomed all our new furiends. Ya’ know, we say ifin ya’ come by once, you’re a visitor, ifin ya’ come back again, you’re family.

 

That’s right Raena. We’re so happy to have so many pawsum furiends. Me’s sis Lexi always said we had the bestest furiends in the universe. And, me’s sis Lexi was hardly ever wrong. 

 

          I’s sure wish I’s could’a met her sissy.

 

Dezi atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

You would’a liked her Raena. But, ifin she was still here, you wouldn’t be. Mommy says things work out the way they’re s’posed too. We might not unnerstand why things happen the way they do, but, God has a plan fur everythin’ and we just have to believe He’ll take care of us. 

 

 

Raena lays on the back of the chair

 

 

          Like all those hurricanes, sissy? I’s sure don’t unnerstand why they have to happen. We’ve got so many furiends bein’ affected by ‘em. I’s really worried ‘bout their safety. 

 

Me too Raena, but all we can do is purray fur them. Fankfully, there are lots of peeps comin’ together to help out. You know, we saw a lot of those helpers last night on the chatter box.

 

          I’s was so happy to see all those peeps reunited with their furry furmily members. And, to learn that the laws were changed so that anipals had to be included in all rescue effurts. Peeps are furinally startin’ to unnerstand just how ‘purrtant us anipals are to our humans. I’s know mommy would never go off to save herself and leave us behind. And now, the law’s on her side and she wouldn’t have too. 

 

Dezi lays on chair

 

Yeah Raena, me’s happy ‘bout that too. So offen in the past, anipals have had to fend fur themselves, cuz rescuers and shelters didn’t allow anipals to accompany their humans durin’ disasters of any kind. Even tho’ anipals can now accompany their humans, steps should still be taken to make sure we could be reunited in the event we were to get separated.

 

 

          Like our microchips, sissy? Ya’ know, I’s wasn’t crazy ‘bout gettin’ that thing to begin with. But, ifin it helps to make sure I’s will always be with mommy, I’s glad I’s got it. 

 

 Dezi bathes atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

Yep Raena, our microchips are a purrfect way to identify us and help make sure that we’ll always be with mommy. But, the microchip alone won’t work ifin ya’ don’t keep the infurmation updated with the chippin’ company. Our chips are registered with Petlinks. Mommy checks our infurmation at least a few times a year. Since not too much changes ‘round here, that’s all she needs too. But, ifin we were to move, change our noms, require meds, or change VETs or anythin’ else, mommy would need to update our profiles’ to reflect those changes. Could you ‘magine us bein’ separated from mommy and not gettin’ the food we’re used too? As ifin bein’ scared wouldn’t be bad enuff, but then, we might not even eat cuz the food would be wrong.

 

 Raena lays in mommy's lap

 

 

          Not that we’d eat anyways, but it’s a good idea, just in case. It’s also a good idea, to have copies of our chip nummers, mommy’s fone nummer and VET records in an emergency bag in the event we had to evacuate or somethin’. And, our peeps should also make sure to keep some fresh noms and bottled water, food and water bowls, a first aid kit, any meds or supplements we might need, leashes, harnesses/collars, some litter, a small box, a comfurt blanky or nip mat and maybe even a toy or two should also be in our emergency bag. You can check out our post here fur a list of things you should have in the event of an emergency.

 

 Dezi with bowed head praying on the pet steps

 

 

Those are some great suggestions Raena. We are so fankful that mommy’s purrpared. While it’s unlikely we’ll be hit by a hurricane, we are subject to tornadoes, wild fires and even earthquakes. We’ve heard from many of our furiends in the path of the current hurricanes, and we’re so happy that they are all still together. But, there are many peeps and anipals that aren’t. We’re purrayin’ fur all those in need. We’re very blest to not be facin’ these storms ourselves and to be home safe and sound with our mommy. We are also blest to have so many amazin’ furiends. We’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives and to say a little purrayer fur all those in need.

          We’d also like to remind everypawdy that wants to help to check out the many ways you can by clickin’ the links here. We’re joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and sendin’ lots of hugs to all of you. Fanky fank ya’ fur bein’ our furiends. Purrlease, stay safe and ifin you’re in the path of a storm, keep in touch so we can all know how to purray and/or help. And join us tomorrow fur another Service Cat Monday posty. 

 

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

Chatting Cats: Freeze Dried Mixers #ChewyInfluencer

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBele. I’s so worried ‘bout our furiends in the paths of these storms. I’s not a scaredy cat, but I’s don’t really care fur all the storms we have. They upset mine’s sissy, and that’s enuff to make me not like ‘em. But, mommy says our thunderstorms are nuffin’ compared to these hurricanes.

 

 Dezi lays atop the liberty cat tree

 

 

          Raena, how many times does me have to tell you, the storms don’t scare me? But me too is worried ‘bout all our furiends. Me’s thinkin’ these hurricanes just might scare us all. Me knows we’ve been purrayin’ hard fur everypawdy. Mommy says that Irma got a tad weaker, but she’s still goin’ strong and headed straight fur Florida and some our furiends. And, those in Texas are still realin’ from the hurricane that hit them. Me just wishes our world could stop with all the hate over pawlitical agenda’s and just ban together. 

 

 Raena lays on small perch and looks out at the rain

 

 

Me too sissy. Hey, do you think mommy might oughtta order some more noms fur us, just in case the folks at Chewy have to evacuate? Ya’ know, they’re offices are located in Florida too.

 

 Chewy Logo

 

 

          Yep Raena, me was just thinkin’ that too. Ya’ know, Chewy’s been doin’ their pawrt to help out the victim’s of these storms too. And, meowin’ of Chewy, we got some great mixers to review this month. As most peeps know, we eat a freeze dried raw diet and luv it. Mommy says it’s the bestest thing she’s done fur us in a long time. We’re happier and healthier than ever. But, she also says it’s kind’a ‘spensive, so anytime we get the oppurrtunity to try a freeze dried raw purroduct, we jump at it.

 

 

 

This is a sponsored post. We received the Instinct Rawboost Mixers in exchange fur our honest review. As always, we tell it like we see it. Neither Chewy or Instinct is responsible for the opinions expressed in this post unless otherwise stated. We only bring products we use or have tried and feel would be of interest to you, our readers and furiends.

 

Raena sniffs the Instinct Rawboost Mixers

 

Instinct Rawboost Mixers

 

 

I’s luvs the raw food we eat sissy, and I’s luvs tryin’ out new flavors and brands of freeze dried raw. Knowin’ how much we like rabbit, mommy couldn’t wait to order the Instinct Rawboost Mixers fur us. They come in 6 ounce bags of chicken or rabbit and cost $11.99 and $13.99. Now, ya’ need to ‘member, these are meant to be added to your kitties regular food, as they’re not a balanced food. That bein’ said, let’s see what Chewy says ‘bout the Instinct Rawboost Mixers

 Instinct Rawboost Mixers

 

 

          The ingredients look purretty good Raena. There’s none of those questionable ingredients our humans like to avoid. Now, the instructions suggest adding these mixers to the top of kitty’s food to entice them to eat more. However, since they’re not a balanced food item, mommy likes to put them on the bottom of our plate so they’re the last thing we eat. You know, kinda like you humans have a dessert after a meal, we get a tasty little treat at the end of our meal. We’ve had these befur, but Instinct has made some changes to the packagin’ and the size of the nibblets. Mommy used to have to cut/break them in half to make a bite sized piece, but, they’re now small enuff to add to our food without any cuttin’ or breakin’. They are kind’a dense and hard and don’t soak up water quite as fast as our regular noms, so mommy suggests usin’ warm water and waitin’ a few extra minutes befur servin’. Fur those reasons and the tastyness of them, me gives them 3 paws up. 

 

 Instinct Rawboost Mixers

 

 

Great points sissy. I’s think the Instinct Rawboost Rabbit Mixers are purretty tasty too. And I’s agree they’re a nice bite size right outta the bag now. I’s give ‘em 3 paws up too. Mommy says she’s happy with the ingredients and that we both seem to like them. Mommy says they’re not cheap, but nuffin’ freeze dried is. Mommy said she wishes they were ingredient balanced so they could be served as a complete meal, but, they do make a nice occasional addition to our regular noms. So, mommy gives ‘em a thumb up too.

 

 Raena eats Core shreds

 

 

As fur Chewy, we give them an all paws up as usual. Great purroducts at great purrices and speedy free shippin’ always make us happy. You can also set up an auto ship so you never run out of your pet’s favorites. Don’t worry, you can always skip, cancel or delay at anytime. You can also make changes by addin’ or removin’ items up till the day befur your auto ship order ships. And, Chewy customer service is great. And, like we said earlier, they’re doin’ their pawrt to help all those affected by these horrible storms. So, head on over and check ‘em out. You know you wanna try these mixers too.

          C’mon Raena, let’s go play. Mommy says we’re gonna have to help her clean house, cuz we have a surpurrise comin’ next weekend.  

 

Right behind ya’ sissy. I’s can’t wait to find out what our surpurrise is. 

 

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

Blest Sunday: Living the Life

Hey Raena, hurry, we need to write our Blest Sunday posty.

 

Raena lounges on perch and watches the rain out the front door

 

          I’s comin’ sissy, I’s was watchin’ a squirrel out the door. Did you see him come up to the door and taunt me? He threw a rock at me.

 

 Dezi looks outside from the cat tree

 

 

Yeah, me saw him Raena, but that wasn’t a rock. It sounded like a rock, but it was really one of those nuts from those trees outside. 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

          Rock, nut, either way, he was makin’ fun of me. He should be real careful ‘bout doin’ that. After all, I’s the mighty huntress of buffalo and giraffes and monkeys.

 

 Raena gets close to the TV

 

 

Sure you are Raena, sure you are. Me bets that squirrel is shakin’ in his fur. Anyways, we need to fank all our furiends fur purrayin’ fur us. You know how sick we were the week befur last. Mommy was even considerin’ takin’ us to the house of horrors VET. Neither of us wanted any pawrt of that. But, me does have to say, me felt so bad, me was actually thinkin’ that mommy was right and we needed to see somepawdy ‘bout our purroblem. Fankfully, all our furiends banded together to purray fur us, and we started feelin’ better right away.

 

          We sure did, sissy. I’s sooooooooooooo glad our tummy rumbles are gone and we’re back to normal again. I’s also glad mommy gave you one last bath. you really smelled bad. 

 

Hey, Grrrrrrrrr  That’s not very nice. 

 

 

          It may not be nice sissy, but it’s the truth. Mommy says we both stank and needed a good bath. I’s felt lots better after mine’s bath. And, mine’s fur looked so purretty and floofy. You know, us girly’s gotta take care of ourselves. A little purrimpin’ and purreenin’ never hurt anykitty. 

 

 Dezi lays on the bed

 

 

Yeah Raena, me felt better after me’s bath too. And, after rollin’ ‘round on mommy and the purrfumed sweet smellin’ sheets, we smelled like girls again. 

 

          Meowin’ of feelin’ better, mommy’s feelin’ better too sissy. Her gums are still healin’, but she’s feelin’ so much better. And, she’s getting’ better with those new teethies. She’s graduated from smashed taters to baked taters and other soft like foods like pasta.

 

 Gift box with cheez-it, bread, pb crakers, and pasta sauce

 

 

Yep Raena, and she was some kind’a x’cited when she received a couple boxes this week from one of our Angels. You know how much mommy likes Cheez-its and M & M’s. Mommy was so x’cited she couldn’t wait to try out her new teethies on those Cheez-it crackers.

 

 Sharp Cheddar Cheese gift

 

 

          Did you see the cooler box sissy? It had real live sharp cheddar cheese in it. I’s sure hope mommy gives me a bite. And I’s don’t know who’s more x’cited ‘bout the Apple Zings, you or mommy?. Mommy said she couldn’t wait till she could eat cold cereal again. 

 

 Apple Zings gift

 

 

Yeah Raena, me likes those Apple Zings too. They’re so much fun to bat ‘round the house. And every once in a while mommy will drop one that’s all soft and full of milk. Since us kitties are lactose intolerant, we don’t get much milk ‘round here. So, a squishy Apple Zing is a really nice treat. 

 

Large bag of M & M's

 

          Really? in that case, I’s can’t wait to try ‘em. Fanky fank you sweet Angels, we really do purreciate ya’ll sendin’ mommy some yummy noms. Mommy’s cookin’ up that turkey tom lurkey today, and she plans to make some sammiches with that pawsum bread. And I’s can’t wait fur her to eat some of those peanut butter crackers. I’s sure do like peanut butter. 

 

 Turkey Breast

 

 

Me too Raena. Turkey tom lurkey and peanut butter…what a life. We are such blest kitties. And mommy says we have another surpurrise comin’ our way in a couple weeks. Me can’t wait to see what it is.

 

          Another surpurrise? When did you hear that sissy? What do ya’ reckon it is? 

 

 Dezi lays atop the Liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Ifin me knew Raena, it wouldn’t be a surpurrise. Just know that it’s gotta be good cuz mommy’s x’cited and said we gotta clean house. We are so fankful fur all our furiends. Ya’ll are just the bestest. As always, we wanna remind you to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. 

 

 Raena sits in amazon box

 

 

          Hey sissy, this weekend is a long one, cuz of a holiday. We also wanna remind everypawdy to be safe and don’t drink and drive. And ‘member, us anipals don’t always enjoy human celebrations. So, ifin you’re hostin’ a pawrty, make sure we have a quiet place to get away from all the commotion and festivities.

 

Good job Raena. Now, let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and go play.

 

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