Blest Sunday: We are Always Blest

Well, here we are and it’s time fur another Blest Sunday. And let me just say, we are Blest!!! And of course, we’re gonna tell ya’ why. After our last posty, somepawdy wrote us an email that said, “Bet ya’ won’t be posting a Blest Sunday this week.” They said a few other things too, but doubtin’ our blessings was the one that stuck out to mommy. We learned shortly after joinin’ social media that we had opened ourselves up fur peeps to think they could say anything they wanted to us. Most peeps are really nice and suppurrtive, but there’s always that somepawdy, right?.

Anyways, it’s true our new year got off to a rocky start and things haven’t been goin’ great, but look’it all the pawsum things we do have. Raena and me have the most luvving mommy in the universe, and she has us. We have all of you, our furiends and family. We have a roof over our heads, a soft warm place to sleep, food in our bellies, toys and scratchers and cat trees oh my. We are so blest, we’re overflowin’.

 Raena with the cheese block from LouLou

          Don’t furget the cheese sissy. Ya’ know, that big round of cheddar mommy got from our dear sweet and bootyful furiend LouLou?. Ifin mommy could’a danced she woulda. When mommy opened the box her eyes got as big as saucers and she made up a song ‘bout cheese. “Cheese, cheese, gotta love cheese. Protein, dairy, yummy nummy cheese.”

 Cheese block

Yeah Raena, mommy does luv her some cheese. Fank you so much LouLou, and to your mommy and daddy too. We also wanna fank everypawdy fur your ideas and suggestions ‘bout mommys dental issues. As we posted a couple of weeks ago, there are no community programs to help mommy, especially now that we know fur certain she needs surgical removal of several teeth. And mommy had already checked with the University, which by the way is too far to get too, and doesn’t qualify there either.

Mommy had exhausted all options befur lookin’ fur a regular dentist. And after she learned exactly what needed to be done, she called around to check purrices fur the work. She didn’t look into the cleaning, but we did get several emails and comments from peeps who understood what mommy didn’t, and the cleaning purrice is pretty much on point as well. But the cleaning isn’t urgent, so mommy isn’t really concerned with it at the moment. Getting rid of the purroblems that are causing her much pain and infection are her focus. And to that end, we did start the fundraiser. Because of the fees credit card companies charge, we have also listed our paypal account fur direct donations, so that we would get the entire amount peeps give.

          Don’t furget to give everypawdy our paypal email sissy. It’s lexi.dezi@yahoo.com that’s lexi (dot) dezi (at) yahoo (dot) com. And the fundraiser can be found by clicking here. Oh, and don’t furget to stop by tomorrow to read, the rest of the story from mines Wednesday trip with mommy.

Well Raena, looks like you just gave everypawdy the infurmation. We do wanna fank all those who have donated so far. Mommy got busy last night visitin’ with one of our awnties, and settin’ up appointments fur interviews, so we’ll plan a purropurr fank you fur next week. The DHS nurse who was here Furiday, said that it was clear mommy needs help, but cuz she can’t find anypawdy to actually work, she may lose her benefits. But she told mommy to keep tryin’ till the final decision was made. So we have several innerviews scheduled fur Monday. Purrlease send purrayers that we find someone and the State lets mommy keep her benefits. They take this and next they’ll be wantin’ her $10.00 in food stamps. Hmmmpht

Fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. In spite of it all, we are so blest to have so much. And don’t furget to take a moment today and everyday to give thanks fur the blessings in your life. And we’re joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.

 

 

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

What’s That White Outside

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Guess what? There’s white stuff all over everything outside. I’s never seen anything like it. When we went to bed last night the ground was yellow and the tree leaves were all dead and brown and now everything’s white. Even the sidewalks we stroll on are white. I’s don’t know when or how it happened, but it seems to make it colder too. We fur sure purreciated that ‘lectric blanky last night.

 Dezi and Raena look out at the first snow of 2017

          All that white stuff is snow, Raena. And it definitely makes things colder. It’s pawful. Trust me, you don’t wanna go outside while it’s there.

 Dezi and Raena look outside at the first snow of 2017

That’s snow sissy? I’s thought only our Northern furiends got snow?.

          Well Raena, they do, but we get some too. The difference is that they get lots and lots more than we do.

First snow of 2017It’s still snowin’ and by the time we post, the whole ground will be covered.

But we needed a foto so we could post.

 

More? Oh Meow  Maybe mommy will take us fur a stroll and I’s can check it out. Some of our furiends have meowed about goin’ out and playin’ in it.

 

 

          Mommy ain’t takin’ us fur no snow strolls Raena. Ifin ya’ ask nicely, she might put your harness on and let you go out and touch it, but mommy hates snow as much as me. And besides, she took another really bad fall yesfurday tryin’ to get to the door fur our chewy box.

 Raena eats breakfast

Oh sissy, that was a bad one. She cut her back on somethin’. Fankfully, she has us fur extra cuddles and luvvins.

Ya’ reckon mines harness will still fit? You know I’s gained a few pounds over the holidays?.

 

          You sure did. Guess we’ll see soon enuff. Mommy has a doctors ‘pointment next week. Me’s sure it will still fit tho, you’re built a little different than me or even sis Lexi was. You have that long body that matches your tail and as humans would say, legs that go on furever.

 

Are you makin’ fun of me sissy?

 Dezi lays in mommys lap for loving

          No, me’s just tellin’ it like it is. You’re gonna be a long tall kitty girly. Y, Mommy was sayin’ just this meownin’ how when you stand on your back paws and reach up with your front ones, you can open da freezer. And we have da tallest fridge they make. Now lookit, we’ve babbled on ‘bout purractically nuffin’ today. Let’s wrap it up and go give mommy some more cuddles.

Okay sissy. Furst we gotta link up with Rascal and Rocco fur the Pet Parade. Check it out, they feature a different Pet blog each week. Sissy says her and sis Lexi (God rest her) was featured there once. We hope you’re all stayin’ safe and warm. I’s gonna see ‘bout checkin’ out this white stuff. Hopefully I’s’ll be able to report back later.

Chatting Cats: Is Mommy Losing It

Well, here it is already the 4th day of the Mew Year. We were all sittin’ ‘round this meownin’ thinkin’ ‘bout how quickly time is passing these days; when mommy popped up and said, “You know girls, Time waits for no man.” 

 Dezi and Raena with nip toy

          What did she mean sissy?

 

Oh Raena, me thinks she might have hit her head too hard, fallin’ outta bed or somethin’. Me has no idea what she was talkin’ ‘bout. Sometimes, she just gets lost in thought and blurts out the furst thing that comes to mind.

Dezi and Raena lay on the cat tree and small perch to look out the window and chat

          I’s checked that google thing, and it seems they don’t really know the origins of what she said, but it ain’t an original thought, so at least we know she isn’t losin’ it.

 

Don’t be silly Raena, of course she’s not losin’ it. Mommy just has a ton of stuff in her brain and sometimes it just comes out. Wonder ifin that ever happens to any of our furiends?

 

          Ifin what ever happens? They make no sense? Or just blurt out nonsense?

 

Just cuz we don’t understand doesn’t make it nonsense. Specially  ifin it exists Raena. And you said you found it on google.

 Dezi and Raena look out the front door

          Yeah sissy, but you know mommy’s always sayin’ how stupid google is. And you know that must be true, cuz she hates that word and won’t call anypawdy stupid.

 

Well, that’s true, but me knows mommy’s not losin’ it, and that’s that. Besides, she planted up her new AeroGarden yesfurday. And trust me, that took some sense. And then, she had to outwit you to get the cover back fur one of the seed pods. She was so purroud of her garden Raena, why would you go and steal a plastic cap? 

 Raena checks out the AeroGarden

          I’s couldn’t help mines self sissy. Didn’t you see them? They’re so tiny and just the right size fur carryin’ and battin’ ‘round. I was gonna have sooooooo much fun. Well, till mommy took it back that is. Besides, these are just purractice plants anyways; she hasn’t got any lettuce seeds yet.

 

Purractice or not, mommy would like to be successful. And these plants are herbs she can use to season stuffs.

 Raena oversees the AeroGarden

          She will be sissy. I’s gonna help her.

 

Is that what you call what you were doin’…Help?. Hmmpht  We’ll see. Me thinks it’s purretty cool. The lights come on and off all by themselves. And there’s somethin’ in there that swooshes the water ‘round every once and a while all on it’s own too. We’ll have to ‘member to post updates along the way. But fur now, let’s just go finish brekky. That is after mommy gets your plate uncovered. And don’t ever turn mes plate over again, K?!!!

 

          You wasn’t eatin’ it, and I’s don’t want anythin’ bigger than us to smell it and come and eat us. 

 Dezi lays in mommys' lap for some loving

Ain’t nuffin’ comin’ to eat us Raena. Mommy won’t let it. We’ll be by to visit soon. We’re still waitin’ on the wheelchair batteries, so mommy’s extra slow. 

 

Do you daydream?

Do you ever just blurt out your thoughts?

Are you interested in seeing the progression of mommys’ AeroGarden? 

 

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

Service Cats: Will Raena Ever Learn to Drive

Hey Raena, do you know what today is?

Dezi and Raena with nip toy

          Is it another holiday sissy? I’s luvs these holidays; they’re so much fun.

 Raena hugs Dezi while she lays on the brown cat tree

Get off me Raena. Me doesn’t want a hug right now. 

But I’s luvs you sissy.

 

 

No silly, it’s Service Cat Monday. And the furst one of the new year.

 

          Well, what are we gonna talk about; mommy crawlin’ all over the house? You know, I’s not big enuff to give her a ride, or even let her hold onto mines tail so I’s could pull her from room to room.

 

Yeah, that wasn’t really the plan Raena. Me isn’t big enuff fur that either. Mommy’s more than a little peeved at the wheelchair peeps. They billed fur brand new wheelchair batteries a few months back, but mommy thinks they gave her used ones. She thinks that cuz they’re already dead and won’t hold a charge. Then to top it all off, they ain’t comin’ out to replace ‘em till next week. What do you wanna bet they rebill fur new batteries again? In the meantime, mommy’s been crawlin’ around since Thanksgiving.

 Raena sits in mommys lap and massages her

          At least we can massage her arms so she can use them to pull herself along in the mornings. I’s even gave her head a whacky paw this morning, to keep her from hittin’ it on the bedside vanity.

 

You did at that Raena. ‘Course now she probably has a headache. That means more head massages today.

 

          I’s already gave her one after brekky sissy. Ya’ reckon she’ll want another?

 Dezi snuggles in mommys lap

And lots of cuddly snuggles

 

 

Yep, me’s sure of it. She’s also having some teeth problems, that are makin’ her sinuses act up so she can’t hardly breathe.

 

          Is that why she’s so hot too sissy?

Dezi and Raena chat in the chair

Yeah sis, she’s runnin’ a fever. Hopefully it’ll go away soon. (no, mommy doesn’t have any dental insurance and there’s no community type programs she qualifies for. She needs dentures to get rid of all the problems once and for all.) Anyways, we hope to get new batteries fur the wheelchair soon, so mommy can start training Raena to drive. It’s about to get real interestin’ here. So we hope to have lots of adventures to share with you all this year. And remember, ifin you have any training questions, or just feline questions in general, let us know. You can ask in a comment, email or email via our contact page. Our contact page sends an email directly to us and is totally private. That means nopawdy sees what you write but us. Ifin you’ve missed any of our Service Cat posts, you can check them out by clicking the links below. Me’s gonna go give mommy another massage now. We’ll be by to visit as soon as we can. We hope you all had a pawsum Mew Year.
