Hurry Raena, we’ve gotta write our Blest Sunday posty. Mommy has to go.
I’s not like it, sissy, I’s not like it one bit. Just how does she think she’s gonna manage without us?
Me doesn’t know, Raena. She’s never done this befur. Least not in me’s life time. Me ‘members sis Lexi used to meow ‘bout it, but that was a long time ago. All me knows is that mommy said she needed to try to do this. She never wants us to be in a pawsition to run outta noms ever again. And she wants to be able to take you to the V E T to find out what’s wrong with your eyes without havin’ to worry ‘bout what it’s gonna cost or ifin she’s gonna be able to affurd it. She said it isn’t like it’s furever, it’s just a few weeks.
A few? I’s thought she said 6 weeks?!! Doesn’t matter, I’s just don’t like it.
Well Raena, me’s not to happy ‘bout it either, but mommy always knows what’s bestest. She says she needs to at least try, so me thinks we should be suppurrtive. After all, standin’ in a cold barn fur 6 hours pickin’ the yucks outta pecans that she happens to be ‘lergic to, on a conveyor belt doesn’t sound like somethin’ mommy would do fur fun. It’s not like she’s goin’ out to that farm to play with the cows and horses.
I’s guess you’re right sissy. We better be on our bestest behavior and say lots of extra purrayers fur mommy. Meowin’ of purrayers, we’ve been sayin’ extras fur all our furiends lately. We know this time of year can really be hard on some, and we’ve been askin’ God to be sure and let everypawdy know how much they are luvved and that we’re here fur ‘em. The song below actually happens here more than ya’ might think, so we thought we’d share it with ya’. At least one of ya’ needed to hear this today.
We have at that Raena. You know we thought it was gonna be a purretty bare Christmas this year. And then, outta nowhere, we received some purretty amazin’ blessings. Awnty Cindy and her brofur uncle Marshall and the kitties sent mommy, and us of course, a nice big roast and butter fur butter spoons, and, cheese and hawaiin bread, mommy’s coffee, those chocolaty chippy brownies and even a gift fur mommy. Fank ya’ll so very much. We can’t wait fur mommy to cook up that tasty roast.

And, the very next day sissy, we got a box from that yummy Pittman Davis company that has those tasty turkey tom lurkeys. fanky fanks to LouLou, awnty Suzanne and uncle Don, we’re havin’ smoked turkey fur Christmas.
Can we cook him now mommy?
(Dezi licks lips) And fur days after too Raena. Me can’t hardly wait. Me can still ‘member the one they sent us last year. Mmmmmmmm We are so very blest.
Yep sissy, mommy spent most of the week cryin’ those happy tears.
Yeah Raena, that’s our mommy. She’s a very emotional peep. That’s okay, we’re purretty emotional too. We wanna remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the Blessings in your life. There’s still time to hop on the Blessing Train fur our 12 Days of Blessings. Altho’ we’re not so sure it’s a blessing yet, we’re fankin’ God fur the oppurrtinutiy mommy got to make a few dollars. So, our blessing today is Opportunity. Mommy says, when oppurrtunity knocks, ya’ gotta answer.
Don’t furget, we’re also linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies, sissy. And with mommy bein’ gone, we’ll have to visit when we can. Hopefully, she’ll be able to help us some when she gets home. She’s leavin’ us here cuz she says it’s not fair to make us sit out in the cold all day when there’ll be so many peeps ‘round that could help her ifin she needs it. Hmmmpht They can’t alert, I’s say.
Raena!!! Be nice. Fank you all fur your luv and furiendship. We’ll be ‘round to visit soon.
Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. It’s been really crazy ‘round here this week. Well, at least fur mommy. I’s been takin’ a lot of naps. I’s get tired watchin’ mommy run ‘round like a chicken with her head cut off.
RaenaBelle!!! That’s not very nice.
Maybe not sissy, but you know it’s the truth. We’ve not been able to visit our furiends and meow at ‘em. Nor have we gotten to go out and look at all the Christmas lights. And we fur sure haven’t even got to write our letters to that Santa Paws guy yet. I’s thinkin’ mommy’s too busy. We need to teach her how to relax.
You may be right Raena, but me doesn’t think anypawdy could teach mommy to relax. Ya’ know a doctor told her once that she was missin’ the relax gene. Anyways, mommy said we could write our letters next week and there’d be purrlenty of time. We’ve got to get our Christmas cards out this weekend. And, since we can’t go to the nursin’ home this year, we’re thinkin’ ‘bout makin’ a carolin’ video fur our bloggy. Ifin mommy can figger it all out that is.
I’s have faith she will, sissy. After all, isn’t that what this season’s all ‘bout…Faith?
Partly Raena. But that’s good enuff. Me will have faith with ya’. Me knows we’ve got some great reviews comin’ up fur everypawdy. We’re gonna even let mommy tell peeps ‘bout our new spaceship next week.
Spaceship! What spaceship?
Ya’ know, PB, our new pawtty box.
Oh Cool. I’s luvs PB, don’t you?
Save it fur the review Raena. In the meantime, we’ve got another Blessin’ fur the Blessing Train and our 12 Days of Blessings. Altho’ it’s turned cold and mostly dismal outside, the sun still shines down upon us. We’ve been given another day to live and spread joy. Every breath we take is the Blessing of life. One fur which we are most grateful. Havin’ such scary and unsure beginnings, we have been Blest with a most wonderful life.
You’re so right sissy. Life’s not always purrfect, and we don’t always have everythin’ we want. But, we have everythin’ we need. We hope you all will jump on the Blessing Train with us and share your Blessings this holiday season. We purromiss to be ‘round to visit as soon as we can. Mommy’s purromissed to get unbusy and help us soon.
(Some time in the morning when Dezi, Raena and mommy A are laying in bed……Asleep?) Hey, Raena, are you awake? Raena? RaenaBelle!!!
(Raena stretches out a paw toward Dezi and yawns) What sissy? Did I’s miss somethin’?
Me’s thinkin’ it’s time to get up. Me’s gettin’ hungry.
I’s don’t wanna get up sissy. It’s too cold. I’s wanna stay right here snuggled up to mommy. (mommy starts moving her head and tells the girls she needs to get up) No mommy, let’s sleep just a little longer.
(Dezi and Raena lay still a few minutes and then Dezi gets up and starts massaging mommy’s tummy. Raena knowing that will cause mommy to need to get up paws at Dezi) Stop hittin’ me Raena! Me wants to get up. It’s time fur Blest Sunday and church. Help me get mommy up. Ifin she doesn’t get up, she’ll never turn on the heat. And let me tell ya’, nopawdy’s house should be below 50°. Me knows mommy wouldn’t have let it happen to our house ifin she’d known it was gonna get so cold.
(Raena paws at Dezi once more and then moves in to position to massage mommy and help her get off the bed) Okay sissy, let’s get up. I’s am feelin’ a bit hungry mine’s self. I’s could go fur a nice plate of rabbit and duck and maybe a nice warm nip tea. We are so Blest to have such yummy noms. And a nice warm toasty place to sleep. With all the colds everywhere I’s sure do worry ‘bout all the kitties livin’ outside.
Me too Raena. Me’s so happy that we’ve been goin’ out a few times a week lookin’ fur feral and stray kitties to feed. We actually found one the other night. Just in case there was more, mommy left purrlenty of food to feed several kitties. We couldn’t tell ifin the kitty we saw was a girly or a boy cuz it wouldn’t come close enuff and it was so dark and cold. But, we said a purrayer and asked God to take care of her/him and we’ll go back to leave some more food soon.
I’s glad we’re doin’ that too sissy. I’s wanna go with mommy the next time. Maybe the kitty just needs a furiend to show her/him that mommy’s not gonna hurt ’em. Altho’ she does look kind’a scary ifin ya’ don’t know her. Havin’ lost her coat, she gets all bundled up in a couple of shirts and pairs of pants to go out. She looks kind’a like a crazy woman. MOL
That’s okay Raena, she’s our crazy mommy and we luv her. Hey, did you see that Annie and Pierrot hopped on the Blessin’ Train?
I’s did sissy. I’s was so happy. And did you see the package we got the other day? Mommy says it’s a Christmas purresent from awnty Belinda. She won’t let us have it till Christmas, but we sure do fanky fank ya’ awnty Belinda. Mommy says she knows we’re gonna luvs it.
Yep Raena, me can’t hardly wait. We got mews ‘bout our visitin’ the nursin’ home this past week. Seems we’re not gonna be allowed to go anymore. They’re only allowin’ church groups from their town unless you’re a family member. Mommy said she’d look ‘round to see ifin there was any place else we could go to, but it looks like we’ll be carolin’ at home this year.
I’s gonna miss all the attention we got from all thoe residents sissy. But I’s glad we still carol here. I’s luvs Christmas songs and singin’ ‘bout Jesus.
Me too Raena, me too. I’s think that should be our Blessin’ this week fur the Blessing Train. Altho’ Jesus wasn’t actually born on Christmas day, me’s pawfully glad He was born. Me just luvs hearin’ the Christmas story of Jesus’ birth.
W purray and ask Him to bless, watch over and purrvide fur all our furiends every day. We also gotta link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.
We wanna remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. We also wanna invite you to hop on the Blessing Train fur our 12 Days of Blessings. Just take the train or boxcar or both and post your Blessing. Link back to us, send a pingback to our posty or leave your linky in the comments below, so we can all visit you. Blessings multiply when shared.
Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Kittens!!! has it ever turned cold. It’s okay tho’, we’ve got our toasty warm ‘lectric blanky, and mommy. We do luvs to cuddle.
Raena, quit ramblin’ on. We’re gonna share our Christmas Gift Guide today. Ya’ know, time’s runnin’ out and we’ve got some great gift suggestions fur peeps and furs alike. And we’ve tried to pick items from just ‘bout every purrice range, so there’s somethin’ fur everypawdy.
You’re so right sissy. I’s so x’cited. Can I’s go furst? (Dezi rolls her eyes but nods yes)
HexBug for Cats
Photo courtesy of Hexbug
Let me tell ya’, these things are sooooooo much fun. We got one of these buggers in our Hooligan in a Can purrize pack from Cat Scouts. As soon as mommy turned him on, we were off and running. I’s will say, he works bestest on non carpeted floors. But, kitty HexBugs are great fur hours of fun and a great source of some pawsum action shots fur all you fotographers out there. There are several places to get your HexBug from the creators website to amazon. They run anywhere from $4.99 to $19.99. They don’t specifically make a HexBug fur doggies, but there are some bigger bugs that we think any woofie would enjoy as well.
Great choice Raena.
Kitty Kick Stix
Me’s furst pick is those pawsum Kitty Kick Stix we just reviewed (see our review here). They’ve got a kicker fur every kitty. They range in size from 6” to 15” and they’ve even innerduced some new refillable kinds. And, ifin you use our special code DWORLD, you can save 15% off their sale purrices of $3.95 to $26.95.
That’s a good one sissy.
Frisco 33.5” Scratching Post
Mine’s next pick is the Frisco 33.5” Scratching Post from Chewy.com. We not only reviewed this pawsum scratcher, we liked it enuff to ask if we could give one away (see our review here). This scratcher is tall enuff fur even the larger housecat breeds. And it’s purrlenty sturdy, so it’s sure to be liked by the kitties on your list. You can find it on Chewy fur $32.99. And, it comes in brown and cream.
And, we know every kitty needs a good scratcher, don’t we Raena?.
Garfield Cat Litter
Speakin’ of a kitty’s needs Raena, every kitty needs a good litterbox filled with a great litter. One of our top choices fur the latter is the Garfield Cat Litter. There’s still time to get in on our current give away too. Just click here to check it out. It comes in a 3 pack of 5 lb bags or 1) 10 lb bag and is available in 2 different sizes, tiny grains and small grains. The cost runs $14.90 to $22.90 at Chewy. Ifin ya’ sign up fur autoship, you can save even more.
And, ya’ gotta have somethin’ to put that litter in sissy.
Litter Robot Open Air III
When it comes to automated litterboxes, our choice is the Litter Robot Open Air III. Stay tuned fur our review. We’ve haven’t decided ifin it’s a toy or a litterbox. Hey, maybe, it’s both!!! MOL Like I’s said, you’ll have to wait fur the review. But, we do luv it. Now, we realize this is purretty ‘spensive. But, when ya’ think ‘bout the fact that you’ve gotta have a litterbox, and somepawdy’s gotta do the scoopin’, then we think this makes perfect sense. It’s got features out the wazoo to make the peeps happy and functions purrfectly fur a kitty’s needs. It runs $449.00 and comes ready to go outta the box…just add litter and kitty.
Raena, you’re gonna have to learn to let the scoops go. It really isn’t a toy.
Yeowww Nip Nanner
Anyways, what kind of kitties would we be ifin we didn’t list the famous Yeowww nip nanner? At only $5.99 at Chewy, ya’ can’t go wrong. It’s full of purremium grade catnip to delight every kitty. Okay, maybe not every kitty, but most.
Hey sissy, we purromissed items fur the peeps too.
Just Kitten Around Coffee Mug
I’s would like to suggest that huge coffee mug Chewy sent mommy a while back. She says it’s purrfect and adorably cute. And at $9.99 every kitty luvver will have a big smile with their coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
That’s fur sure a good one, Raena.
Cat Shelf
This is great mommy. Ya’ gotta hang it up? I’s couldn’t wait.
Ya’ know, we haven’t listed any purrches fur us kitties. We received a great Cat shelf from the wonderful cats at Art of Paws. It’s a family run business, 1 purrson and 4 cats. Now that’s me’s kind of business. MOL Anyways, the shelf we received if just purrrrrrrrfect. Very well made and it looks just bootyful. It has 2 removable washable covers, soft wool or a ridged fibre type. And, it’ll hold up to 33 pounds. That means it’s purrfect fur us. It comes with everythin’ you need to get it up on the wall includin’ the wall anchors. Ifin ya’ live in a small space like we do, you know you have to take advantage of the vertical space. ‘Course, anypawdy who knows cats, knows, we like the high places anyways. This shelf is only $39.95 and worth every penny. So, mommy, when are we gonna have a whole wall covered in these purrches? MOL

Pawsitively Beautiful Tote Bag
A lot of ya’ may ‘member the pawsum tote bag mommy got fur her birthday. She still luvs it and so it has to be a pick on our gift list. It’s roomy enuff fur a blogger to carry their laptop or tablet in as well as all the things a lady might need in her purrse. And, buyin’ it means 71 anipals get fed. That’s a great deal. You can check it out here. It’s currently on sale fur $34.99 and comes in 3 different colors.
And ifin mommy doesn’t fill it too full, there’s even room fur one of us, huh Raena? Well, that’s a lot of shoppin’. As purromissed, there’s a little somethin’ fur everypawdy/kitty.
We haven’t finished sissy. We have one last gift to list. This gift is considered purriceless to the recipient and everypawdy can afford it. We know money’s tight fur everyone, so we fur sure wanted to list what mommy’ll be getting’ us fur Christmas…
Love and Hugs
