Blest Sunday: Wagging Tongues

MeOW  What a wonderful week of Blessings and Fankfulness. (Dezi walks back and forth down the hall meowing, stopping occasionally to squat, wiggle and look around before starting up again. She hears the wind blowing through the wind chimes and the leaves rustling outside and jumps on the Liberty cat tree to take a look.)  RaenaBelle, hasn’t this been a pawsum week?

 

Dezi lays on top of cat tree and RAena sits on small perch in front of door

 

 

 

          Yep sissy, it really has. (The wind blows up a funnel cloud of leaves and Raena crouches on the perch in front of the door watching intently as if she could reach out and catch one.)  We’re so Blest; even mommy’s startin’ to feel a bit better. She said fanky fanks to our massages and a box of imitrex her migraine’s let up a lot. At least enuff so she can think again. I’s told her we had plans to make and things to get done befur Christmas. I’s so ready fur Christmas to be here, aren’t you?

Yeah Raena, me can’t hardly wait. But befur we move on we need to ‘pawlogize fur not announcin’ the winners of our mask contest at me’s Carnival pawrty. What with the innernet bein’ out, mommy’s sick and the holidays, we got way behind. Our winners were Pipo and Dalton. As purromissed, you’ll be gettin’ a little sumpin’ sumpin’; but, all our plans went astray and it ain’t here yet. So, we’ll send it on when we get it, K? Me was so happy to see so many of our furiends purrticipate. The bloggin’ community, cats and their peeps in purrticular are just the bestest ever.

          You got that right sissy. Meowin’ of furiends, we need to send out a fanky fank you to awnty Cindy and her brofur uncle Marshall and all the kitties. Not only did they send us that tasty fanky Fanksgivin’ dinner along with a goody box, but they also sent us a case of shelf stable milk and some green papers. Mommy says the car tags are due, so it’s a really big help. 

 

And me wants to fank awnty Vonda fur sendin’ us some green papers too Raena. Mommy said me has a late Birthday/Gotchaday gift comin’. 

 

Raena lays on perch in front of door looking back

 

 

 

 

          Really sissy? Are you gonna share? 

 

 

Dezi sits on floor in front of chair

 

 

 

Is me gonna share? Does me have a choice? Anyways, mommy said there’d be purrlenty. All me can meow is she better be right. You try to hog everythin’.

 

          Me? Nuh uh, that’s not me, that’s you. You’re the one who always throws a hissy fit when I’s try to play bunny kick the nip nanner with you. 

 

 

 

That’s cuz you wanna steal me’s nip nanner ‘stead of playin’ with your own Raena. There’s a reason mommy insists on two of everythin’; so we each can have our own. 

 

          Then why don’t you play with the other one sissy? 

 

It doesn’t matter which one me plays with Raena, that’s the one you’re gonna want. (Raena thinks for a minute and then goes back to watching the leaves fly around outside while Dezi grins at having left Raena meowless.)  Cat got your tongue? MOL 

 

Raena lays on floor with tongue touching nose

 

 

 

          Huh? What does that even mean sissy? I’s a cat, so of course I’s got mine’s tongue. Wanna see? (Raena sticks her tongue out at Dezi)

 

Me’s gonna tell mommy you’re stickin’ your tongue out and bein’ mean Raena.

 

          I’s not bein’ mean sissy, I’s just showin’ ya’ that I’s got mine’s tongue. You’re the one that asked ‘bout it?. 

 

Dezi sits with tongue out in front of door

 

 

 

Oh sure, try to blame me fur your meanness.  (Dezi sticks her tongue out at Raena.)  

  

          I’s not…sissy…? C’mon sissy, let’s not fight. It’s Blest Sunday, we’re s’posed to be countin’ our Blessings, not arguin’.  

 

Dezi plays on cat scratcher

 

 

 

You’re right Raena. We are Blest to have more than one nip nanner. We’re Blest in so many ways. As we do each week, 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 we wanna say a meowsy big Fank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

 

Raena lays in mommy's lap getting love

 

 

 

          Let’s take a quick selfie and link up with the Kittie Blue fur Sunday Selfies, sissy. And I’s’ll let ya’ play with both nip nanners all by yourself today. 

 

(Dezi meows quietly)  Sure you will…but fur how long? Sure Raena, fanks. 

 

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

          I’s am nice sissy, I’s always nice. And, I’s not jumpin’ on you, I’s jumpin’ over you. Altho’ at the moment I’s not jumpin’ anywhere, I’s just sittin’ here. You’re the one with your bloomers in a twist. 

 

Dezi in squared pencil filterWe played around in the foto apps this weekend. This

is somethin’ called a squared pencil filter.

 

 

 

Me’s bloomers aren’t in a twist Raena. It’s Blest Sunday and time fur us to count our Blessings. Me will go furst. Pest or no, me’s glad that you’re feelin’ better and that your eyes are healin’ up well. Me’s also fankful fur your plans, you threw me a really great pawrty. Me’s fankful fur all our furiends; me’s pawrty wouldn’t have been the same without ‘em. And me got the cutest card in the snail mail from Valentine…fank you. Me also wants to say a meowsy big Fank you to Princess Erin fur me’s Birthday/Gotchaday gift. And of course, me’s always fankful fur mommy. Me’s one Blest kitty girl fur sure.

 

Raena looks out door from small perch

 

 

 

          We both are sissy. I’s fanky fankfull fur all the luvs, suppurrt and purrayers I’s received durin’ mine’s surgery and now fur mine’s healin’. Mine’s eyes have never felt better; and, mommy says I’s more luvvin’ than ever . I’s can see clearly now and I’s luvvin’ it. I’s enjoyed the pawrty too. And, I’s so grateful fur you and mommy, ya’ll are just the bestest family any kitty could ever want. (Something catches Raena’s eyes outside and she runs to the small perch to see what it is.)  Look’it sissy, a squirrel. He keeps runnin’ back and forth from tree to tree. 

 

Dezi lays on top of cat tree and RAena sits on small perch in front of door

 

 

 

He’s purrparin’ fur winter Raena. He’s purrobably tryin’ to collect enuff nuts to keep himself fed when it gets really cold outside. Fank goodness we don’t have to do that. Did you see the bunny that hopped past earlier? 

 

Raena in recursion frameI’s got in on the foto editin’ too. This is somethin’ called a recursion filter.

 

 

 

          I’s missed him sissy. Why didn’t you call me? Ya’ know, ifin mommy would just let us outside, we could’a had fresh rabbit fur Fanksgivin’. 

 

Sure we could Raena…like you know the furst thing ‘bout huntin’ bunny rabbits.

 

Raena looks out door from small perch

 

 

 

          Well at least we could’a tried sissy. Ya’ never know when ya’ just might get lucky. MOL  Anyways, you know Fanksgivin’ is Fursday, right? That means Christmas is only a few short weeks from now. While visitin’ one of our furiends the other day, we learned of this cool app that will let us gather our furiends info so we can send them Christmas cards. So, we’d like to ask all of you to click here and fill in your info. It’s totally free and private. We’ll be the only ones who can see your infurmation. And of course, we’ll never share your purrsonal info with anyone or use it to annoy you.

 

Another of Raena’s plans, huh? Well, me guesses far as plans go, this one’s purretty good. You just might be purretty good at makin’ plans after all Raena. Me can’t wait fur Christmas. You need to put on that thinkin’ cap of yours and help me come up with a great gift to give mommy.

 

          Now that’s a great plan sissy. Furst tho’, I’s thinkin’ we should post our Gift Guide next week. You know, just in case peeps wanna shop those Black Furiday or Cyber Monday sales to get gifts fur their luvved ones and favorite furries. 

 

Dezi lays in mommy's lap and gets loving

 

 

 

Sounds good to me Raena. Let’s wrap this up and get to shoppin’. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. Fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Blest Sunday: We Honor And Salute You

Dezi:  MeOW  C’mon Raena, today’s a very special Blest Sunday. 

 

Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

 

          Raena:  Really sissy? What’s so special ‘bout today? 

 

Dezi sits looking at flag on wood background frame

 

 

 

Dezi:  It’s Veteran’s Day, Raena. A day we take to ‘member the soldiers who fought, and many gave their lives so we could be free from tyranny. So many brave men, women and anipals gave their lives on distant shores, so that loved ones and even strangers like us could live our lives free from fear of wars in our own home. Me thinks we furget how things could be. We’ve been free fur so long that me thinks we sometimes take our Country’s greatness and freedoms fur granted.

 

Raena sits pretty in a patriotic memory frame

 

 

 

          Raena: I’s think you’re right sissy. It’s not purretty to think ‘bout young men, women and anipals lying in a trench on some foreign soil bleeding and dying. To think ‘bout them bein’ lonely and scared, and away from their families and loved ones; not knowin’ ifin they’ll ever see them again. To think ‘bout them swearin’ an oath to purrtect us…to die fur complete strangers. Soldiers who never gave a second thought to goin’ to bad places and facin’ bad people. Standing their ground and sayin’ “As long as I’m here, no one is going to hurt you”. 

 

Dezi with bowed head praying on the pet steps

 

 

 

Dezi:  So true Raena. There’s so much hate and discord in our Country right now. So many peeps sayin’ and doin’ things that would get them thrown into prison or killed in lesser Countries. Peeps tryin’ to take away the very freedoms that those soldiers bled and died for. The truth is, it’s a slap in the face, it’s like spittin’ on the graves of all those who bravely fought and lost their lives to secure those freedoms and make our Country great. It makes us so sad to hear ‘bout our vets bein’ treated badly. 

 

Raena sits on cat tree staring up at a fly

 

 

 

          Raena:  I’s think all those soldiers who died to make America great are turnin’ over in their graves at some of the nonsense goin’ on right now, sissy. In our house, we bleed red white and blue. We honor our flag and each and every soldier who willingly defends/defended our Country and us from our enemies. We are so Blest to have been born in such an amazing Country. We are Blest to have a mommy who has taught us the price that was paid to make our Nation great. 

 

Dezi lays in mommy's lap

 

 

 

Dezi:  Yes Raena, we are indeed Blest. We fank and salute each and every veteran and their families today and every day. We fank each and every soldier who serves us now. You may not know us, and we may not know your name, but we ask God to Bless and keep you each day. While you’re watchin’ over us, God is watchin’ over you. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you all to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. and we wanna fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

          Raena:  And, as we do each week, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. Purrlease ‘member to fanky fank our vets fur their service. Because of them and their sacrifice, you can sleep safely in your bed at night.

 

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

Blest Sunday: Thanks For Being The Best Friends In The Universe

MeOW  (Dezi follows mommy and Raena mumbling to herself)  Kittens, Me sure wishes the weather would make up it’s mind. One minute it’s cold and the next we’re pantin’. Me thinks me may have gotten mommy’s “pussonal summer disease” (hot flashes). Ifin only me could roll up me’s furs like she does her pants legs. Hmmmpht  And what’s up with the clocks? Mommy keeps goin’ from room to room tryin’ to figger out why some say one thing and others say another. 

 

Raena's profile while sitting on cat tree

 

 

 

          Sissy, who are you meowin’ too? And what’s wrong? Don’t you know it’s Blest Sunday? I’s can’t wait to count our Blessings today. 

 

Who can count anythin’ over that squeaky fan? It’s on me’s last nerve!!!

 

          Aaaaaw Sissy, c’mon, snap out of it. You luvs Blest Sunday’s; and you fur sure know we’re Blest. Mommy’s gonna try to put some more oil on the fan, so hopefully it’ll quit squealin’ soon. And I’s asked the crazy lady in the box (Alexa dot) ‘bout the clocks and learned that we were s’posed to turn our clocks back last night, so that’s why some of ‘em are wrong. As fur mommy’s purrsonal summer’s, I’s don’t think those are contagious. Besides, it’s your birthday/gotchaday month; that’s like the biggest Blessing we kitties can ever have. 

 

Dezi looks out door from atop liberty cat tree

 

 

 

Yeah, you’re right Raena. And, peace reigns in our home once again. Now that’s always a Blessing. Ya’ know, me also wanted to meow Fank you to awnty Anonymous and awnty Vonda fur sendin’ me some green papers fur me’s birthday. Me knows how ‘purrtant it was fur you to have your surgery, but me really does ‘purreciate that they wanted me to have somethin’ special. Me’s birthday kind’a got lost in the fray, but they helped to make me feel ‘purrtant too. Me even got birthday cards from Pipo and Dalton and Valentine.

          You’re always special sissy. That’s why we’re throwin’ you a pawsum pawrty on the 14th. Anyways, I’s got some Blessings I’s wanna give fanky fanks fur too. Fanky fank you awnty Anonymous, awnty Jeanne, awnty Cindy, awnty Sandee, awnty Juliea and Patzy, awnty Claire, Zorro and Pixie, awnty Theresa, awnty Kerry and Valentine, awnty Susan M, awnty Susan C, awnty Susan T, awnty Ava, awnty Christine, awnty Vonda and our furiends at the Kitty Klub fur helpin’ me to have mine’s surgery. And fanky fanks to all of you fur the luvs, well wishes and purrayers. Mommy says I’s on the road to recovery and gettin’ better and better every day. Altho’ mine’s eyes still hurt a little, they’re hurtin’ in a whole new place. But, I’s can see and blink like never befur. It’s amazin’. 

 

Dezi looks out window from cat tree house

 

 

 

That’s pawsum Raena. Me’s glad you’re feelin’ better. And me can’t wait fur me’s pawrty. It’s gonna be so much fun. Me was just thinkin’ ‘bout how Blest we are to be a pawrt of this wonderful world of pet bloggers. What an amazing life we have. You know, besides bein’ me’s birthday and gotchaday month, it’s also Fankgivin’ month here in the U.S.. Me’s very fankful we were furtunate enuff to be born in this great Country called America.

 

Raena selfie, laying on cat scratcherMommy says I’s still gawjus even tho’ mine’s eyes be

scabby and I’s missin’ whiskers. Those whiskers by the

way ain’t missin’, doctor stabby and grabby stole ’em.

 

 

 

          Ain’t that the truth sissy. We are Blest with a capital B. Ya’ know sissy, I’s luvs Blest Sundays as much as you do. I’s also like that we get to post our selfies. Altho’ we don’t actually take our own fotos, mommy says she luvs a good close up that shows off our beauty. So, each week we link up with the Kitties Blue fur the Sunday Selfie blog hop.
