Blest Sunday: The Blessings Just Don’t Stop

Raena, can you believe how blest we’ve been this month? It’s like da blessings just don’t stop.

 Dezi and Raena on cat tree

       Are you talkin’ ‘bout dat big box dat came this past week sissy?

 Dezi plays with nip nana

Yep Raena, and da green papers to help mommy out and fur her to get some groceries, and her coffee, and mes birthday purresent.

 

 

       Don’t furget your Gotchaday purresent sissy.

 

 

Me was getting’ to dat Raena. As most everypawdy knows, Fanksgiving is comin’ up quick. We don’t talk much ‘bout what groceries and foods mommy buys fur herself, cuz she really can’t afford very much, and often goes without. Mommy always says, so long as me and you have foods and litter and anythin’ else we need, then she’s happy. Mommy says she’s eaten more this month than she has all year. Anyways, as far as holiday meals go, it’s mostly like any other day ‘round here. Most of da time, mommy doesn’t have anythin’ to eat. She does try to buy us a special can of noms or treats, but dat’s ‘bout it. Mommy says it’s no big deal, she’s used to it, and just happy dat we are healthy and enjoy our special treat.

 Smoked turkey

So anyways, da mailman came walkin’ up to da door da other day with a big ole heavy box. Inside was da biggest mostest gawjus smoked turkey tom lurkey fur mommy and us to share. As ifin dat wasn’t enuff, we got an email and awnty Vonda and her amazin’ 17 kitty cats sent us some green papers with instructions to get me a Gotchaday gift and buy some fixin’s fur our Fanksgivin’ dinner. Well you know mommy was a blubberin’ mess. They were happy tears, but me thought she might not ever stop. Mommy was cryin’ so hard she even had to wait a day to send our pawsum furiends, awnties and uncles a fank you email cuz she couldn’t see da catputer. And me’s been bustin’ at da seams waitin’ fur Blest Sunday to tell everypawdy and say a meowsy big, no Huge, Fank You. Raena’s furst Fanksgivin’ is gonna be complete with a real live, dead turkey tom lurkey.

 Raena laying in lap up close

       I’s know you ‘splained what this Fanksgivin’ thing is sissy, but I’s can’t wait fur it to actually get here. I’s can’t wait to sink mines teefies into dat turkey tom lurkey. ‘Specially since you said turkey tom lurkey is even better than chicken, includin’ our favorite freeze dried chicken breast treats. I’s wanna add mines meowsy huge Fanky Fanks to yours and mommys.

 Dezi lays in lap and gets loving

Well Raena, ya’ won’t have to wait much longer. Mommy went to da grocery store last night and got some taters and dinner rolls, and pie fixins’. We’re gonna have a feast. But ya’ know what? even ifin all this hadn’t happened, we still woulda been blest and had a pawsum Fanksgivin’. Ya’ know why Raena?

 

 

       Cuz we have a safe warm furever home with a mommy who luvs us more than anythin’. And cuz, we have da bestest furiends in da universe. Right sissy?

 Dezi and Raena in a heart shaped Happy Thanksgiving frame

Dat’s right Raena. We’re blest each and every day. We have da mostest amazin’ furiends ever. We’re all blest. We have furever homes full of luv. But latlely, me’s really been thinkin’ ‘bout all those kitties livin’ outside. Da weather’s been turnin’ colder and even some of our birdies are flyin’ a little further South. We have some amazing furiends who take care of da feral and stray kitties in their area all year ‘round. And we can’t fank ya’ll enuff. We know those kitties are grateful fur ya’ even ifin they run away when you get too close. But fur every kitty dat has a care taker, there are lots of kitties who don’t. So we encourage everypawdy to look around and ifin ya’ spot a kitty who looks homeless, put out some noms. Maybe build them a shelter so they can get outta da weather. Check with da shelters and rescues in your area to see ifin there’s someone who can help or a TNR purrogram in your area.

 

 

       Dat Alley Cat Allies website has a wealth of infurmation fur peeps.

 

 

Dat’s right Raena. Everypawdy can help, even ifin ya’ don’t have green papers. Shelters and rescues are always in need of volunteers, and you might even have some things ‘round your house you could donate. As we all get wrapped up in celebratin’ da holidays, let’s not furget those who don’t have da blessings we do. And take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur da blessings in your life. We thank you all fur being blessings in our lives and we send purrayers fur your health and happiness today and every day.

       And don’t furget Sunday Selfies with da Kitties Blue. Mommy says she has some cleanin’ to do, so we’ll be ’round to visit as soon as we can.

Knowing You Are There

Dezi and Raena with crying eagle saying thank you to Veterans
Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me RaenaBelle. Mommys been lookin’ at fotos of Eagles and our flag and cryin’ a little. She said today is Veterans Day. And dat sometimes it makes her sad.

Sissy? What is Veterans Day?

 Dezi on Eagle

       Well Raena every November 11th we celebrate all those men, women and anipals dat served our Country in da military. Those who fought to make our Country great. Many lives were lost, and all lives were changed furever. You know da wondrous freedoms we have in America were bought with da blood and lives of many. Mommy says it’s purrtant to ‘member da families of all those who served in our military too. While they might not have been on da firing line, they served as well. Many of those families lost sons, daughters, fathers, brothers, sisters and furiends so dat we could be safe and free to worship, to speak our minds and so much more. Fank you all. We salute all our Vets and honor you today and everyday. Because of your sacrifice, your willingness to serve, we are safe and free.

 Raena over POW MIA eagle

Oh sissy, I’s so fankyful to all those who serve and did serve too. I’s sendin’ da biggest and loudest purrrrrrrrr salute to you all. Mommy says we should never take our good furtune fur granted, and dat we should always ‘member da sacrifices dat made it pawssible. Vets haven’t always been treated with da respect and gratitude they deserved. And fur dat, we are ashamed of our fellow Americans. Dat’s why mommy cries sometimes. She says, you might not always agree with da wars or military actions our government decides to take, but those who serve are only following da orders of our leaders and should be treated with da utmost honor and respect.

 

 

       Dat’s right Raena. God Bless America!!!

 

 

It’s time fur da Pet Parade blog hop with Rascal and Rocco and their pawsum co-hosts too, right sissy?

 

 

       Yep Raena. It’s gonna be a busy weekend fur us, so we better go ketch a nap while we can. We’ve got lots of visitin’ to do. Befur we go tho’ We wanna say Fank you again.

We sleep sounder, knowin’ you are there.

We walk prouder, knowin’ you are there.

We pray fur God to protect you as you protect us.

Let out Flag of Freedom fly high and our Country stay strong.

And let all of our soldiers return home,

where they belong.

 Dezi and Raena in a waving flag frame honoring Veterans

And let God Bless America once again.

Blest Sunday: Happy Father’s Day

Hey Ya’ll it’s RaenaBelle. I’s been watchin’ mommy and sis Dezi write on this big box by punchin’ these little keys and so I thought I’d give it a try. Mommy’s been really busy this weekend makin’ copies and doin’ paperwork. She says it has somethin’ to do with our lease and havin’ somewhere to live fur da next year. And there was some really loud booms yesfurday and late last night so sis Dezi made herself scarce. I didn’t understand why she ran off and I couldn’t find her anywhere. So hijackin’ this thing they call a blog seemed like da right thing to do. (Looks around for Dezi)

 

Raena atop the Liberty Cat Tree
Yep, I’s on da very tippy top. Mommy says dat’s Dezi’s spot, but I’s say, she wasn’t here.

 

Anyways, mommy and Dezi told me it was Sunday and dat meant church day. This is mines second church day with mommy and sis Dezi. I sure do like church. Mommy sings and really seems to enjoy herself. And she tells us dat we are really blest to have each other. Well let me tell you…nopawdy has to tell this kitty girl dat I’s blest.

 Raena!!! What are you doin’ on me’s bloggy? 

Dezi atop the Liberty Cat tree

This is me’s spot on da Cat tree.

 

 

Your bloggy? Mommy said it was Our bloggy. 

Oh yeah? Well do you see your name anywhere in da title? 

 Raena licking lips atop the Liberty cat tree

Now girls, let’s be nice. What have I told ya’ll about sharing?

 Sharin’ is carin’, and… (Raena cuts Dezi off and chimes in) 

 Sisfurs don’t fight. ‘Specially on Blest Sunday.

(Dezi says under her breath) Kiss up. (Dezi exhales and smiles) Well, RaenaBelle why don’t you tell everypawdy ‘bout our blessings this week then.

 Raena looks out the door from the Liberty cat tree

Fank you sis Dezi I would luvs to. You and mommy say we have lots of wonderful furiends who luvs us. And dat includes me even tho’ they haven’t knowed me very long. Dat’s a big ole blessin’. And I’s fur sure blest to have you and mommy. Ya’ll saved me and I’s luvs mines furever home and you and mommy very much. I’s luvs all da pawsum toys and cat trees we have and da yummy noms mommy gives us. I’s luvs dat nip and da vine too. Dat’s some good stuffs. By da way Dezi, how offen do we get dat stuffs? I could go fur some of dat every day.

 Raena in a heart on a clothes line saying Happy Father's day

Thanks Raena, you did a purretty good job. As fur da nip, no, we don’t get it every day ‘xcept what’s in da nip stuffed toys.

 Dezi in a frame with a tie saying Happy Father's Dat

Today isn’t just Blest Sunday tho’, it’s also Father’s Day. Of course you all know we don’t have an actual father. Mommy has to be our mommy and daddy, and let me tell ya’ she does a great job. But we do have some pawsum uncles and furiends and we would like to wish ya’ll and all da daddy’s out there a Happy Happy Father’s day. Father’s are those very special men dat decide to take pawrt in your life and luv you and purrtect and care fur you no matter what. They may be related by biology or not at all. But they are da stand up guys da you can always count on. Ifin there’s a special man in your life, be sure and tell him how much you luv and ‘purreciate him today and every day. Fur those of ya’ like us, dat only have one pawrent, let them know they’re doin’ a great job. We never know what da future holds, so don’t let a day go by without givin’ thanks fur da many blessings in your life.

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