Published on by Service Cats U.S.51 Comments

Meowllo evewypawdy weez wishin’ you all a wunnewful Monday and west of da week. Pendin’ on what time yous weadin’ this, sissy may be getting’ hers blood stolen, and maybe hers tinkle too. Sum how weez messed up ow time settin’ here on WordPress and we never seem to know when ow posties awe goin’ out. Call us da “D” word and you wuld be hitin’ da nail on da head. Weez not furmilar wiff this UTC time. You know weez fwum da Souff and call it CST (central standawd time). Actually afur we entered social media and stawted visitin’ wiff peeps fwum all ovew da place we just called it time fur bwekky, lunch (tweat) or dinner time. And evewy night, bed time. MOL Anyways, sumhow when time changed we musta been on da wrong time, cuz ow posties have been goin’ out at da stwangest hours. So sissy’s pointment is at 3 p.m. CST today.

Weez weally hopin’ and purrayin’ dat maybe ow cuwwent Vet wuz wrong and even misdiagnosed her. We know a lot of ya’ awe finkin’ we oughtta gwo up, but mommy sez she weally can’t magin’ life wiffout sissy and me. Dat bein’ sed, we gotta figger out how to make her a survivor. She wuz diagnosed wiff only a urinalysis and quite a foo of ow furiends wanted to know why no blood test wuz dun. On da second visit, again mommy asked fur blood work and again wuz ignored and so her went on da search to find a Vet to run those tests. And now weez got a foo emails tellin’ us weez spendin’ too much munny, and askin’ fur too much help. So mommy sed we need to pawlogize, but mommy will do what her can fur us and dat includes ask fur help. And to answer da accusations made by sum, there’s nuffin’ else mommy can cut fwum hers spenses ‘cept toilet paper. But they don’t send out da catalogs fur furee anymore. And mommy sez whedder you eat or not, yous gunna hav need of toilet paper. We do purreciate yous handlin’ yous gwipes wiff us fwu email stead of makin’ nasty comments, but wight now we weally don’t need those eevew.

Anyways weez will let you all know what we find out when we find out. Weez not sure whedder da vet duz all tests in house or sends them out. And da place where mommy has been getting’ sum help on unnewstandin’ what we need to do fur sissy, like what noms she can hav and such wecommend havin’ da tests sent to an outside lab. Dat wuld mean we wuldn’t know anyfin’ fur at least a foo days. And they wecommend da uwine be kept fur a week and exposed to bactewia to see ifin it grows anyfin’. Meez tellin’ ya’ these peeps awe weally knowledgeable ‘bout all this stuff. So weez in good hands and we know God be lookin’ out fur us too. So we ask ya’ to send good fawts and purrayers to mommy and Lexi today and weez’ll let ya’ know what we know when we know it.   We also wanna fank awnty Kathie, Miss Ellen and meez pawsum Cat Scout furiend Cat. And all da west of ya’ hoo support ow efforts and send purrayers and good wishes and luv.  

God bless mommy and sis Lexi and all our furwiends and fwamily. In Jesus Name, Amen

Woohoo Yous askin’ yousselff why me be so ‘cited it’s da weekend since meez a cat and meez mommy be disabled and home wiff us all da time anyways, wight? You wuld be wight ‘bout boff those fings, but it seems eeven tho’ mommy dusn’t work anymowe hers still kinda wuns like she duz. She twies to put in hers 12 hours on da puter evewyday workin’ on meez bloggy and visitin’ wiff ow furiends, and facebook and all da udder stuffs we do. And now hers puttin’ in extwa time wesearchin’ fings ‘bout sis Lexi’s CKD/CRF. So when da weekend comes, she usually spends mowe time wiff us and less on da puter. It keeps us behind in ow visitin’, but she sez all this wuz stawted fur us, and ifin she dusn’t spend time wiff us, then all this wuz fur naught. So dat’s why meez so happy ‘bout it bein’ da weekend. And meez hostin’ a dance at Cat Scouts tomowwo. Yeah me be a little nervous cuz meez never dun this afur, but meez still ‘cited cuz it’s gunna be so much fun. Ifin yous been finkin’ ‘bout joinin’ up, no time like da purresent. Just click on da link (cat scouts) above.

As you all know weez now 7 weeks into sis Lexi’s diagnosis of early stage Renal Failure. Hers diagnosis wuz made wiff a simple urinalysis and altho’ mommy asked fur bloodwork to be dun, ow Vet found dat unnecessary. Dat did bodder mommy a bit, but she wuz so shocked by da diagnosis she kuldn’t weally fink very clearly and let it go. She came home and dug in and stawted wesearchin’. Evewy where she looked, blood work seemed very purrtant. Has sumfin’ to do wiff da nummews and all. So when mommy took Lexi in fur hers 6 week check up, she again asked fur a blood work up. Da Vet completely ignored mommy and sed she wuz duin’ what she needed to be duin’ and dat sissy looked gweat. Now mommy wuz fwustwated. We like ow Vet and we get a small discount which weally helps, but mommy feels she weally needs mowe infurmation to manage sissy’s illness. Specially when we heard fwum ow sweet furiend Brian dat Zoe had beat this pawful fing based on hers nummews. So mommy set out to learn how to make Lexi da next one to beat this pawfull disease. Turns out dat wuz easier sed then dun.

Don’t know what’s up wiff da Vets wound here, but getting’ one to do a CBC/Sr. Blood Panel wuz hawder than we evew spected. Evewy time we turn wound one of ow furiends is havin’ their blood stolen, but dat’s not sumfin’ kitties wound here have to deal wiff pawently. But yesfurday we finally found a vet dat wuld do just dat. Now we need to find da munny to pay fur it afur ow pointment on Monday. Da cost is gunna be $132.00. Dat wuld include da office visit, Full CBC and a new urinalysis. We kuld get by wiff $100.00 and skip da urinalysis, but mommy wuld like to get furesh tests as ifin it wuz da furst time so she wuld have a complete picture of where sissy be at. Mommy found dat there awe noms out there dat sissy will eat dat not be outwageously purriced. They awen’t purrscwiption, but mommy hasn’t had any kitty dat wuld eat those purrscwiption diets. As weez sed afur, it be da phosphowous content dat needs to be low, not da purrotien. Altho’ da purrotien needs to be fwum a “good” source. Ifin you can help wiff da Vet cost we wuld sure purreciate it. Ow PayPal addwess be on da PayPal link on ow sidebaw.

You know weez been writin’ ‘bout mommys doctow pointment day now fur a while cuz it seems sumfin’ always happens. And yesfurday wuz no diffewent. Mommy had told me we kuld write ‘bout sumfin’ els this mumff and then we went and…well let’s just say you all shulda been there.

 dw Dezi on tree

It stawted out purretty much like any udder day. We all got wound and mommy opened da door and stawted singin’, “Here comes da sun.” OMC Wuz we ever glad to see mr. Sunshine. A lot of da ice wuz melted, and it wuz wunnewful. Unbeknownst to me tho’ mommy wuz nervous ‘bout patches of black ice, so her wuz goin’ back and  forff all meownin’ ‘bout whether or not to wisk takin’ me wiff her. Wiffout me mommy gets ‘bout a 30 second warnin’ afur her passes out. Wiff me she gets almost 30 minutes. But since she wuz disabled due to a caw accident she worries ‘bout da udder idiots on da road and da wedder of course. She dusn’t like to put Lexi or me at wisk ifin her can help it, so she wuz weally finkin’ ‘bout leavin’ me at home. Well time to go and mommy ‘cided me wuld stay wiff Lexi, so she left and headed out to da doctow ‘bout 10 minutes up da stweet. Me watched and waited on da cat twee fur mommy to come home.  And then…

Me saw mommy come walkin’ up da walk. She came in and saw me and sed, “It’s not bad at all honey. Come on, you’re goin’ with me to town.”  Into da stwoller me went and we wuz off. Da highway wuz nice and clear and you kuldn’t even tell there had been snow or ice only a day earlier. Mommy sed she talked to a man at da doctows office dat sed da kids had been outta school since Tuesday. So we wusn’t da only ones hoo fawt it wuz bad. Anyways, we finally got to da fawmacy. And fank catness, cuz mommy had da caw weally hot. Me had to tell hers to turn down da heat cuz me wuz furyin’ in meez long fur coat. we dwopped of mommys scwipt and told them we wuz gunna go a foo doors down and let me visit wiff meez furiends at da bank. Well…dat’s when fings changed. We wuz stwollin’ down da stweet and suddenlly mommys cane went sideways, fwuntways, backways and then it wuz just flyin’ and mommy wuz slippin’ an slidin’ and…KAPOOEY!!!  Down mommy went, wight on hers hineybo. You shulda seen it. Yous shulda seen me lookin’ at it. You shulda seen mommy’s face. But wait, it dusn’t stop there.  

 dwDezi Have a Great Saturday - 2HEoW-1en - normal

When mommy stawted losin’ hers balance she sumhow pushed da stwoller and me went rollin’ down da stweet. Me wuz watchin’ mommy flailin’ and getting’ further and further away fwum her. Me wuz meowin’ and mommy wuz hollewin’ fur me. Me kuld hear her, “Dezi, Oh sweet Dezi. Sumpawdy save my baby!!!” Well sumpawdy musta heard us or seen mommy cuz a littlle old gway haired lady on hers own cane came walkin’ outta one of da doors and stood over mommy. Mommy wuz scweamin’ and pointin’ at me, and da little old gway haired lady on hers own cane came runnin’ toward me. You shulda seen her. OMC–MOL Me wuz still rollin’ and didn’t fink dat lady had any chance of catchin’ up to me, but suddenly me felt a jolt and me stopped. Da little old lady wuz wavin’ hers awms all over da place and yellin’. Me looked out da udder side and there stood this big ole man holdin’ onto da stwoller and sayin’ “It’s okay, I’ve got it. Don’t fall.” Then all meez furiends fwum da bank came outside and one of them pushed me over to mommy where anudder couple of them wuz helpin’ hers up. Dat black ice mommy had been worried ‘bout…we had hit a patch. Mommy kuldn’t wait to get back home. Hers a little bwuised up and sore, but nun da worse fur da wear, and meez had an adventure me will never furget. MOL  So weez’ll be takin’ it easy this weekend no doubt.

Till da nex time…………….Be Blest!!!
