Blest Sunday Remember the Rescues

Published on by Service Cats U.S.37 Comments

Meowllo and welcome to chaplain Dezi’s Blest Sunday. So we did some more meowin’ and talkin’ this week and decided dat Wednesdays and Furidays are just gonna stay Surprise/Toss up days. You’re not gonna know what you’ll see here till ya’ come by. MOL  Anyways, let’s get on with today. Furst we wanna thank whoever sent mommy da colorin’ page. She luvved it. Raena and me think she must have used every color they make fur dat kitty face. It stormed and raged all day yesfurday and was da purrfect thing to keep mommys’ mind busy since we couldn’t be on da catputer. Da thunder boomers seemed to get louder and more furequent last night, but me never hid out. Me did want a lot of extra luvvin’ from mommy, which she was more than happy to give. Me is so blest to have such a luvvin’ mommy.

 Mommy said Fank you fur da colorin’ page.

 

       Me too sissy. I’s not ‘fraid of da storms but they was sooooo loud last night dat even I’s got a little nervous. Even da rain seemed louder than normal. Fankfully mommy has room fur both of us on her lap. 

Oh Raena, what do you know ‘bout normal soundin’ rain? You’ve only been alive fur 5 months.

 Raena sitting in mommys lap

       Maybe sissy, but it’s rained a lot durin’ those 5 months.

You’re right Raena, it has rained a lot this summer. And now they say it’s fall. We even got a cold front move in this weekend. Not dat we felt it in da house. Fank catness fur air conditionin’ and fans. We wanted to show you a foto dat made mommy burst out laffin’. It’s blurry and da red eye taker outer didn’t take out all da red eye like it’s posed to, but we think most of ya’ will get a real chuckle lookin’ at it. Raena and me had been in da pawdee box room playin’ when we suddenly heard a sonic boom. Those happen a lot ‘round here, but we all still jump a little. Yep, even mommy. Anyways, Raena and me heard da sonic boom and well it caused us to immediately stop playin’ and meow out to mommy. Mommy knew we were together and so when we both called out to her, she got “nervous” and jumped up to come see what was goin’ on. And this foto shows what she saw when she got to da hallway. Fankfully she has long arms and could reach da camera, cuz once she appeared in da hallway and stopped, we came runnin’.

 Dezi and Raena sitting outside bathroom looking surprised.

       Well sissy she was laffin’ at us. I’s didn’t know what was so funny, but she laffed till she had water streamin’ down her face.

Yeah Raena, mommies can be emotional, specially ours.

 Raena sleeping in mommys lap

       Is dat why she luvs us so much sissy, cuz she’s emotional?

No Raena she luvs us just cuz. And cuz she’s emotional she shows us how much she luvs us all da time. We are really blest kitties to have a furever home and furever mommy dat luvs us so much. We have lots of amazin’ furiends dat we share our lives with and so much more. You know not all kitties have dat. This past week there was a day set aside to ‘member all those dat never make it outta shelters and into luvvin’ furever homes. They die never havin’ known luv and da warmth of a mommy or daddy holdin’ them tight and purromissin’ them dat they’ll never be alone again.

       Oh sissy, I’s not like to think ‘bout those things.

Yeah Raena, a lot of peeps don’t like to think ‘bout those kinds of things. But not thinkin’ ‘bout it doesn’t make it go away. Until we get everypawdy to think ‘bout it and make changes, kitties and doggies will continue to die scared and alone. We try to educate as many peeps as we can. And every day we purray fur all our furiends and all those less furtunate than us. And hopefully someday we won’t need shelters. Maybe someday, all anipals will have their own luvvin’ furever.

 Raena sleeping in mommys lap

       I’s sure hope so sissy. I’s think #RemeberMeThursday should be everyday till da whole world gets da message.

Yeah Raena me wishes da world would get da message too. Spay and neuter your pets, strays and feral colonies to help cut down on over-pawpulation and over crowded shelters. Children can witness the magic of birth by rentin’ a video. Educate, educate, educate. Havin’ babies doesn’t make a kitty calmer, more well adjusted or happier. Instead it increases da risk of health issues, cancers, spraying, behavioral purroblems and early deaths. We get so tired of hearin’ “I already have homes for the kittens.” Well ifin you don’t spay or neuter, da homes you found purrobably don’t either and someday those kittens will be havin’ babies too. And on and on and on. (Dezi wipes a tear from her eye and shakes and bows her head for a moment of silence) Well we better get outta here befur it starts stormin’ again.

We’s joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. ‘Member to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur da blessings in your life. Fank you all fur your luv and support. We are so blest to know all of you. Hope you have a pawsumly blest day.

Blest Sunday Thank Yous

Published on by Service Cats U.S.42 Comments

Meowllo and welcome to a brand new Blest Sunday. As you all know this is our favorite posty of da week. It’s da time we recount any blessings from da past week and tell you all how very lucky and blest we are to have you as pawrt of our lives. We think any oppurrtunity to give thanks and say I luv you should never be passed up. Life is so short, and we don’t wanna waste a minute of it. So, let’s get to our furst blessing of da week.

 Dezi in a frame surrounded by blue flower petals

As you know, cuz we told ya’, sis Raena wasn’t eatin’. Now kitties really shouldn’t go without eatin’ in general, but fur sure a growin’ kitty needs every meal to grow healthy and strong. Mommy does everythin’ she can to purrvide us with da bestest pawssible food, thus it’s quite ‘spensive. Once our noms ship out from Chewy, there’s no more money fur anythin’ else. So ifin we turn up our noses at da food dat arrives, we’re in somethin’ of a pickle. Well, dat’s ‘zactly what happened this month. Sis Raena tried to bury every plate in da house. She just didn’t wanna eat anythin’ mommy offered her. Of course mommy began to say her “eat” purrayers and Raena asked you all fur some purrayers. And voila, Furiday saw answered purrayers when Raena ate her plate of food and half of me’s plate and asked fur more. WooHoo  Keep those purrayers comin’ cuz Raena seems ‘bout as fickle as dat pickle.

 

 

       Sissy, don’t furget to tell everypawdy ‘bout mines spa day.

 

 

Well Raena, since you so rudely innerrupted, why don’t you tell them ‘bout your spa day. (Dezi thinks back to her spa day and shivers) 

 Raena in a frame with blue flowers

      

       Fank ya’ sissy, I’s will. Two pawsumly Anonymous awnties donated to our PayPal fur mines spa day, so it’s fur sure gonna happen on October da 8th. I’s told mommy to be sure and put a reminder on da calendar fur dat day and to ‘member to take da camera. She says I’s might not want mines foto taken dat day, but I’s can’t ‘magine ever not wantin’ mines foto taken. I’s luvs da camera and mommy says da camera luvs me. Anyways, I’s gotten a little side tracked here. I’s wanna fank you awnties Anonymous fur makin’ sure I get mines spa day. 

 

Me’s glad you’re gettin’ your spa day Raena. And yes, a meowsy big Fank you to our awnties Anonymous. There’s even enuff to get Raena a special treat dat day. As always, we are so grateful to have all of you as our furiends and furamily. We luv you all and purray God’s blessings on each of you. Me’s gonna wrap it up now and head on over to da cat tree fur a mid meownin’ nap.

       Don’t furget Sunday Selfies with da Kitties Blue, Sissy.

Me didn’t furget Raena, but since you’ve already said it, let’s wish everypawdy a pawsumly blest Sunday and go take a nap.

 

 

Till da next Time……………………………………………..Be Blest!!!

A Muddy Blest Sunday

Published on by Service Cats U.S.36 Comments

Welcome to a new Blest Sunday. We thought we saw da sun come out fur a minute, but it was just some workers’ flashlights. Da “landscapers” lawn crew was here this past week buildin’ up a hill ‘tween our pawrtment and mr. W’s. Guess me needs to ‘splain a bit fur those of ya’ dat be new to our bloggy. We live in these ‘pawrtments dat be much like a horseshoe shape. Mr. W lives on da end of a buildin’ next to da road. We live in da buildin’ right behind it dat faces in towards our pawrkin’ lot. Bedrooms are at da back of da ‘pawrtment and livin’ rooms at da front. Hims bedroom is almost our livin’ room window view. Not somethin’ we wanna see. Dat’s da only good thing ‘bout those big ole oak trees in our yard. Cuz No, he doesn’t have curtains and Yes, he leaves da blinds up all da time.

 Dezi in a frame with purple tulips

Anyways, fur whatever reason, there was a drop off behind hims ‘pawrtment. It was purretty steep, but it’s not like any of us are really out there walkin’ it. Altho’ Mr. W has been known to wheel hims wheelchair ‘round there on da occasions when Buddy escapes. So anyways, ‘member when we said da manager had come down one meownin’ wantin’ mommy to move her car? Well dat’s why. Da lawn crew was gonna be doin’ some work and to purrtect our cars, she wanted us to move them. Altho’ not sure where she wanted us to move them cuz they had trucks, dirt and equipment all over da place. Well, dat was da day dat mommy had to go to da doctor so mommy did move our car fur a few hours at least. Mommy furinally said, well they have to have insurance, so we’ll just have to take our chances. And then she watched them like a hawk.

Raena in a purple heart blooming from a red rose surrounded by blue

Now, fur all of ya’ wonderin’ why it’s such a big deal, let me tell ya’. This very same lawn crew breaks at least 3 ‘pawrtment air conditioners every summer. Dat’s basically one a month. “course dat’s not countin’ da ones dat they just chew up da wirin’ on with da weed whacker by runnin’ it up da side of da walls. And no, there ain’t no weeds up da wall. They’re just idiots. Anyways, they ran over da 6 foot steel post dat marked da sprinkler system, and broke it and caused a huge flood. We haven’t had a sprinkler system out here in over 10 years cuz of them. Once da flood was stopped, da big steel post was replaced and a circle of bricks ’round it. And yep, they ran over it again. They chopped down several ornamental bushes and left da weeds. And many more things. Don’t ask. We don’t know why they’re still da lawn crew fur our purropurrty and several others managed by the same management company. Anyways, they built up this hill and tamped down lots of new dirt and left. Mommy looked out and said, “Lovely, just wait till it rains.” And then…well as you know it’s been rainin’ ever since. MOL

And yes, we have new mud every where now. And dat’s why there were workers with flashlights walkin’ ‘round makin’ us think da sun was tryin’ to peek out from da clouds.Even amidst all of this, we’ve been blest. Me hasn’t run or hid from da thunder boomers once. And Raena’s eye got all better. Da lawn crew didn’t even touch our car. We have a home to be safe from da weather, includin’ da earthquake we had last weekend. And most of all we have each other and all of you. We are Blest!!! ‘Member to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur da blessings in your lives. We’s joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. And be sure and stop by tomorrow, we’ve got some great trainin’ tips comin’ up in our weekly Service Cats posty.

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

Blest Sunday’s This and That

Published on by Service Cats U.S.38 Comments

Meowllo and welcome to a new Blest Sunday. As always, we’ve been extremely blest this week. Yes we told you dat it has been stormin’ and mommy’s been in a lot of extra pain, but ‘stead of hidin’ out durin’ those storms, me’s been hangin’ with mommy. Dat’s somethin’ dat always makes mommy happy. Every day mommy says dat nuffin’ makes her happier than bein’ with her girls. And even tho’ mommy had to abruptly leave da bathroom to find da toilet paper cuz it wasn’t on da shelves dat are no more, she said she was just glad dat Raena and me were okay and dat nopawdy had gotten hurt. Me’s not so sure she was all dat happy at dat moment tho’. Anyways…

 Dezi sits on a box

Tomorrow is Labor Day here in da United States. A day dat celebrates da “labor movement” by not laborin’. A little oxy-moronic ifin ya’ ask me, but nopawdy did, so we’ll just be hangin’ out as usual. Oh yeah, me furgot to tell you, Raena furinally got her furst taste of cat grass. Mommy thinks it’s funny dat just like da changin’ of da bed sheets, Raena’s been here fur a while and never noticed any of this till this past week. You know mommy changes da bed sheets regularly, but not till this past week did Raena pay attention, much less insert her playful self into da mix. Mommy also tries to keep some grass growin’ fur us kitties to chew on. This past week da light went on in Raena’s head and she discovered da not at all hidden cat grass. At furst she didn’t know what to do with it, but after watchin’ me a time or two, she planted herself up there and had a nibble. Mommy’s fotography skills ain’t all dat great, but we think you’ll get da idea. Raena must have gorged her little self on da grass, cuz ‘bout 30 minutes later she was horkin’ it up all over da place. MOL

Raena eats her first ever cat grass

       Dat wasn’t funny sis Dezi. I’s not ever horked befur and it kinda scared me.

 Dezi lays on box while Raena looks for her

Me knows Raena. Mommy says you make da same horrified face me does befur throwin’ up. She doesn’t know ifin this is a Ragdoll thing or a just us thing, but she says she wishes it didn’t scare us so much. ‘Course me also knows she would rather we didn’t hork at all. Me knows dat cuz she says it da whole time she’s cleanin’ it up and purrays ever night dat God would help us not to throw up or have hairballs. 

 Raena lays in mommys lap and bathes

       Well I’s all fur God answerin’ dat purrayer sissy. I’s not like dat horkin’. Fankfully mommy cleans it up befur ‘memberin’ to take fotos. 

 Raena lap selfie

Oh Raena, nopawdy wants to see your throw up. Dat’s not somethin’ mommy would ever take a foto of ‘lessen it be strange or pawssibly medical related, and then only to show da VET.

       Phht Phht (Raena spits and acts as if she’s going to hork) Dezi, Don’t ever talk ‘bout da mean place. I’s not wanna go back there ever again. 

 Raena lap selfie

Me’s with ya’ on dat kiddo, me doesn’t like goin’ there either.

So let’s just get back to those blessings. We are so blest to have so many pawsum furiends and furmily. You all are very special to us. Mommy had to go up town last night and on her journey she saw stray cats every where. A few months ago she couldn’t find a stray kitty to save her life, but last night it seemed they were unending. Y Right here in our very own pawrkin’ lot mommy spied one hunched down unnder a car tremblin in fear. We felt so bad fur him, dat when we got back home mommy hollered and hollered fur him to come eat. She was gonna share our noms with da scaredy kitty. But alas, no amount of hollerin’ worked. We never saw kitty again last night. But we’s keepin’ our eyes open.

Anyways, we’s gonna wrap it up fur now. We’s joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur Selfie Sunday. A lot of you use this Photo Shop fur editin’ and creatin’ works of art with your fotos, so mommy thought she’d give it a look see again. She looked it up once, but it cost real money, so she’s never given it another thought. Well, it turns out there’s a free 30 day trial dat doesn’t require a credit card so she downloaded it to try to beautify some of our fotos. Needless to say, it ain’t all dat easy, but dat’s where we edited da fotos we’re postin’ today and even made a textured foto to play ’round with da filters. ‘Member to take a moment today and every day to give thanks fur da blessings in your life. By da way, mommy says dat foto surroundin’ this pawagraph is one of her favorites. Me doesn’t know why she said dat tho’. Maybe ya’ll can tell me.
