Meweek, Mew, Mew, (Dezi dances around and runs back and forth from the kitchen to her meal mat in the living room) hurry with that brekky mommy, we’ve gotta write our Blest Sunday posty. It’s our 4th Blogoversary!!! And what better day to celebrate it than Blest Sunday. Don’t put too much gravy in Raena’s, you know she’ll throw it all up ifin ya’ do.
(Raena jumps down from the wheelchair and runs right into Dezi re-entering the kitchen) Sissy…
Hisssssssss…Watch where you’re goin’, Raena!!!
I’s not the one runnin’, sissy, you are. Maybe, you should watch where you’re goin’. I’s want the exact same brekky as you. The more gravy the better. (Raena rubs against the wheelchair and one of mommy’s legs) Meowwwwww Mommy, I’s want the same brekky as sissy. I’s a big girly now. I’s even got to go the the Cat Scouts Valentine’s day dance. By the way sissy, what’s a Blogoversary?
Taggin’ along to a dance doesn’t make you all grown up, Raena. Now leave mommy alone so she can fix our brekky. Haven’t you figgered out by now the more we bug her the longer it takes to get fed? (Dezi meows as she runs back to her food mat. Then she hears the coffee pot beep and runs back to the kitchen, where she watches mommy get her cup of coffee and head for the living room to set it down. Dezi follows mommy back to the kitchen where she picks up the breakfast plates and heads back to the living room. Dezi runs ahead excitedly) Meweeeeeek, Mew, Mew. Here mommy, here. Put me’s brekky right here. (Turns to Raena and meows) We’ve been bloggin’ since February of 2014, Raena. Mommy had just got her furst real catputer and knew nuffin’ ‘bout the world of bloggin’ or the innernet. We actually created a blog totally by accident. But, it’s been one of the greatest things that ever happened to us. We’ve met so many amazin’ furiends, both human and anipal. We can’t ‘magine what our lives would be like without all of you in it. We’ve come so far from our furst posty and our second, both on the same day to innerduce ouselves. We didn’t have a clue ‘bout what bloggin’ was or how to edit fotos, or even what to write ‘bout.
(Raena runs to her food mat in the living room and looks back for mommy.) MeOWwww I’s so hungry. Put mine’s plate right here mommy, hurry. (Mommy parks the wheelchair and sits in the sitting chair and opens a bag of chocolate chip mini muffins. Raena looks up from her plate and walks over to sniff the bag in mommy’s hand. She goes back to “cover” her plate and then jumps in mommy’s lap.) I’s want some of that mommy…Why? Why can’t I’s have a bite? A little chocolate can’t pawssibly hurt me. (Looking down at Dezi, Raena meows) Well look at us now sissy. I’s can’t ‘magine you ever had a hard time comin’ up with somethin’ to meow ‘bout.
Ya’ never know Raena. Chocolate isn’t good fur us kitties or doggies. Besides, we’ve got great food, you wouldn’t like those muffins anyways. But, it sure was nice of awnty Cindy and angel Maggie Meme to send it to mommy. She luvs those little muffins and brownie bites. (Thinks about what Raena just meowed) Me’s not sure ifin you’re givin’ me a compliment or bein’ mean Raena, but me’s gonna choose to believe you’re bein’ nice. Back then the blog was mostly me’s meows; sis Lexi had facebook and me had the blog. It’s really nuffin’ like it used to be. But, mommy says that’s a good thing. We have to evolve and learn or we’ll fade away into the lost bytes and bits of the innernets.
I’s sure don’t wanna fade away sissy. I’s very fanky fankful you’re willin’ to share your bloggy with me; and all your furiends who accepted me and luvved me when I’s came here. Happy Blogoversary sissy, I’s hope we have lots more. By the way, did you see those Hawaiin rolls? Mommy can’t get enuff of those things. They are purretty tasty. I’s got to try a little bite once. I’s don’t know what a croissant is, but mommy seemed really happy to see those too. Fanky fank ya’ fur sendin’ mommy a Valentine’s day treat. We are so Blest.

That we are Raena. Another blessin’ we got this week was help with mommy’s leg ouchie. Some of ya’ may ‘member that mommy fell right befur Christmas and hurt her leg purretty bad. It got to hurtin’ somethin’ fierce last week, so we asked ifin anypawdy had any suggestions on how to treat it. Mommy’s V E T had told her to keep puttin’ that triple antibiotic cream on it and keep it wrapped. But, it didn’t seem to be gettin’ any better. And cuz mommy had to use a few bandaid type bandages cuz she ran out of gauze pads, she had some new sores where the sticky had been. Mommy’s ‘lergic to bandage sticky, and we’re thinkin’ triple antibiotic cream. As always, our pawsum furiends purrayed and gave us some great ideas fur treatin’ her ouchie. Warning: Below are purrgressive fotos of mommy’s ouchie. Ifin ya’ have a weak tummy, scroll quick, there’s only 3 and we made them small.
Right after the fall
5 days ago
After 3 days of Manuka honey
Sure ‘nuff, sissy. Somepawdy suggested she put Manuka honey on it. She just happened to have some of that cuz she had bought it fur your sis Lexi. I’s thought she looked kind’a crazy slatherin’ honey on her leg, but it really seemed to help, a lot. That honey took the heat and the soreness outta mommy’s ouchie really quick.
It even looks better too, Raena. And fanks to awnty Cindy fur sendin’ some green papers, mommy got some more gauze pads and is lookin’ into somethin’ called colloidal silver.
And the blessings don’t stop there, sissy. Mommy’s gonna be gettin’ her new fake teethies on Tuesday. We can’t hardly wait. I’s hopin’ we get to pick up some extra treats while we’re in Ardmore. Maybe I’s can meow mommy into gettin’ us some bacon or somethin’. What a week of blessings we’ve had. Good furiends, good food and lots of luvs…What more could a kitty girl ask fur.
And, A Blogoversary!!! Absolutely Nuffin’ Raena, we’ve got everythin’ we need. What Blest lives we have. We’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the Blessings in your life. And fank you all fur visitin’ us, commentin’ on our postys and mostly fur just bein’ the bestest extended furmily in the universe. We luv you all very much.
Don’t furget the Sunday Selfies, sissy. There’s been a lot of distractions and things mommy’s had to deal with these past couple of weeks, so we’re purretty behind in our visits to all our furiends. We’re really sorry we’ve not been by to see ya’, but we hope to get caught up soon. Purrlease bear with us, (Raena and Dezi look over at mommy) we purromise to visit soon. And here’s to elbenty billion more Blogoversaries.
Well Raena, it’s here. It’s Valentine’s day, the day of luv.
What does that even mean, sissy? I’s know luvs is complicated, mommy says so. But, why is there a day fur it? Are ya’ only s’posed to luvs one day a year?
No, silly. Mommy says Valentine’s day is really all ‘bout luvvers. Don’t ask ‘bout that, you’re still too young. Anyways, cuz we don’t have any, we celebrate the luv we share with each other and mommy and all our amazin’ furiends. Most of the world does the same.
Luvvers, huh? When will I’s be old enuff, sissy?
When mommy says so, Raena. Luv may be complicated, but it’s all ‘round us, we just have to receive it. And most ‘purrtantly, give it. We are so grateful to have so many furiends who luv us. We luv you all dearly. You mean more to us than you will ever know.
And, I’s grateful fur you, sissy. I’s luvs you very much. And mommy, I’s luvs you more than anythin’ in the universe.
Me too mommy. Me luvs you more than Raena does.
You are both very sweet. I love you more than anything. Ya’ll are my world, my heart, my everything. We are blest to have each other, our friends and this wonderful life that we live. How ‘bout some Valentine’s treats?

Happy New Year!!! Raena, mommy, it’s furinally here!!! We made it to see another year start. It sure is cold here. Mommy heard once that whatever ya’ happen to be doin’ when the clock strikes midnight of the new year will make up the biggest pawrt of the next year. So, guess what we were doin’ at midnight?. Yep, we were all cuddled together luvvin’ each other.
We sure were sissy, even when you let out a growl. What was that all ‘bout?
You stuck your claw in me’s ear Raena. Me’s all fur togetherness, but that’s a little too together. Anyways, we plan on lots of cuddles and luvvin’ in 2018.
And fun too, sissy. We’re gonna have lots of fun. Fanky fankfully, your growl was long befur midnight. We don’t want any of those in the new year.
Me thought you might enjoy a calendar with
me smilin’ at ya’ all year long.
Well Raena, that means you need to work really hard at bein’ a better sisfur. (Dezi snickers) Anyways, we’re really behind so we’re gonna keep it short today. We just wanna meow a Happy New Year to all of you. And, we wanted to update ya’ a bit on our schedule fur 2018. Due to a new standin’ ‘pointment on Mondays, we will be movin’ our Service Cat Trainin’/Question & Answer postys to Tuesdays. Mommy’s still tryin’ to work out the rest of our schedule, but never fear, you’ll be the furst to know. We’re not goin’ anywhere.
Or, maybe you’d rather see mine’s purretty face every day.
Change is good sissy. It keeps us on our paw toes.
Sure it is Raena. We’re cats, we’re not s’posed to like change. Anyways, wish our furiends a Happy New Year and let’s go play.
Happy New Year dear furiends. We luvs you all so very much and purray this is the bestest year of your life.
It sure is sissy. Mine’s paw beans don’t like it one bit. The floor is burrrrrrr cold.
(Mommy A opens the door and window blinds. Dezi and Raena get their first look out for the day) OMC When did that happen mommy? Look’it Raena, it’s all white outside…mostly…okay, in patches. Anyways, it’s enuff. And, it’s New Years Eve.
What is that?!!
Oh sissy, what is all that? I’s don’t like it. Nope, not at all, I’s don’t like it. And why’s it so cold? How cold is it?
Eh, me’s seen it befur. It’s no big deal so long as
we can all stay together and cuddle.
Well Raena, it looks like snow. But, mommy just checked and says it’s mostly ice. As fur how cold it is, the weather guessers say it’s t’ween 5° and 10°F below 0. That’s just too cold fur us Southerners. Fankfully, we’re all gonna be stayin’ right here together so we can snuggle and stay warm.
It can’t get inside, right sissy?
Below 0? Did you really meow below 0? I’s sure hope the kitty we fed found some place warm to hang out. We couldn’t find it the last couple of times we went out, so we purrayed somepawdy had taken it in. ‘Course, we left food, but there’s no tellin’ who might be eatin’ that. Ya’ know, we might be feedin’ the coons and pawsums.
We know, but fur us Southerners’ this is pawful. MOL
That’s okay Raena, everypawdy’s gotta eat some time. Anyways, as me meowed earlier, it’s New Years Eve. Tomorrow starts a brand new year. So let’s furget ‘bout the white stuffs and the cold fur a minute and look back over the last year.
Sounds good to me sissy. It’s been a tough year, but a year full of blessings, none the less.
Yep, we started the year lettin’ everypawdy know ‘bout how bad mommy’s teethies had been and tryin’ to get her some help. Which fankfully happened and come February, everypawdy’s gonna see mommy’s new pain furee, infection furee fauz teethies smile. We also ran a weekly post called Service Cat Monday in which we featured mommy’s Trainin’ Tips/Tricks/Techniques fur all kitties and woofies too. We answered all kinds of questions from our readers and furiends. We can’t wait to get back to those in the new year. We hope ya’ll look furward to them as much as we do.
Sweet Lexi gettin’ and givin’ lots of luvvin’.
And in March, we cried as we mourned the one year anniversary of sis Lexi leavin’ us fur heaven. And ‘membered all the luv she gave and got and the amazin’ Service Cat she had been. And, we celebrated the majesty that had been her life. She will always be a pawrt of us and will always be remembered.
And in April we celebrated mine’s furst birthday. In June, we really celebrated the day mommy saved me and gave me this pawsum life I’s have now. And, don’t furget all the goodies we’ve reviewed over the past year. And we’ve even gotten to hold some give aways. I’s hate that Lexi had to go away fur me to be here, but I’s sure am blest to have such an amazin’ home, mommy and sissy.
We’re blest to have you too Raena, even ifin me doesn’t always act like it. We truly are 2 blest kitty girls. 2018 is gonna be even better. We don’t really know what’s in store fur us past today, but we know that as long as we have each other, we are Blest.
That’s the truth sissy. And, we do kind’a know somethin’ that’s gonna be happenin’ in January. We’re startin’ the new year off with a bang. I’s mean, with a give away. That’s right, and even our UK furiends will have the chance to win this one. We can’t hardly wait.
Me’s with ya’ on that one Raena. Anyways, Christmas left us with some great food and a few gifts from our angels. Raena and me both got new mousies and balls and that great hexbug we showed ya’ the other day. Fank you uncle Pete, Timmy, Einstein and furmily. Fank you Cat, Nugget and awnty Lisa, and fank ya’ll fur the gift card. Mommy says it’s a real blessin’. Fank you fur everythin’ awnty Belinda, we’re even grateful fur the calmin’ collars you sent…mommy ‘specially. Mommy’s really enjoyin’ her PawPaw ointment and we’ve had a dab or two as well. Fanks again to LouLou, awnty Suzanne and uncle Don, we’re still enjoyin’ turkey tom lurkey. Fanks awnty Vonda fur the nip of the vine and the treats. And fank you fur the green papers fur mommy. And fanks to awnty Anonymous fur the green papers as well.
And a meowsy big fanky fanks to awnty Cindy and uncle Marshall fur the noms and mommy’s new bathrobe. And, a great big meowsy Fanky fank you all fur bein’ our furiends and a big pawrt of our lives. We look furward to many more years with you all. MeOW sissy, we sure are blest.
That we are Raena, that we are. As always, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur the blessings in your life.
Don’t furget our last plandid selfies of the year with the Kitties Blue, sissy.
