So today weez gunna take you way back in time.  Back afur me wuz born and even afur sis Lexi wuz born.  To a time when dinosaurs walked da earff.  MOL  Not weally but me wuz on a roll and it sounded good.  Anyways, mommy’s dictatin’ today and meez welatin’ da story of mommy and hers first fireplace.  So mommy wuz ‘bout 20 years old and hers had been livin’ in hers own fur a foo years at this point.  And hers finally moved to da big city of Dallas.  Actually a little suburb called Lewisville.  Course Dallas kinda encompasses everyfin’ wiff in it.  Anyways hers rented a pawtment in a bwand new complex.  And she wuz so ‘cited.  It wuz da very first ever pawtment dat had a fireplace.  Now mind you mommy had never had a fireplace afur.  Not even duwin’ da years she lived at home wiff hers furmily.  But at 20 years old all mommy kuld fink ‘bout wuz how womantic it wuld be.  Never mind hers didn’t hav a beau at da time.  Mommy wuz a bit of a looker back then so she didn’t figure on bein’ wiff out one fur too long.  And she moved into this pawtment at da end of da summer, so she had time afur fireplace wedder or womance showed up.  MOL  Now, da only fireplaces mommy had ever seen wuz on hers “stories”.  Yep, mommy watched da soap opewas back then. 

 0dw Dezi in fire

So as da wedder cooled off a bit, mommy stawted byin’ logs.  They wuz sold in sumfin’ called a wick.  Do yous know dat even today mommy dusn’t know what a wick is. MOL  Anyways hers was buyin’ up logs and this one log in it’s paper wrapper dat wund posed to help get da fire goin’ and help fan da flame.  So da first purretty cool day mommy had, she got up and decodcided to hav a fire in da fire place.  So she all hers logs on da little metal holder.  Yep da hole wick.  And then on top of dat’ she put ders helper log.  And then she got hers candle lighter and lit da paper and went and sat down wiff hers then cat.  and she smiled and fawt ‘bout how warm they wuz gunna be and  and how purretty it wuz gunna look.  Da fire seemed to be takin’ a pawfully long time stawtin’ and flamin’ up.  So mommy wadded up sum newspaper and fwu it in. 

Finally, mommy saw a little flame in da back.  She wuz so ‘cited dat she got in da floor wight in fwunt of it.    Mommy had heard da soap opewea peeps talk ‘bout stokin’ it, and altho’ mommy wusn’t sure what “stokin’” meant and she didn’t hav any fireplace tools.  So she took a piece of metal and poked wound at da small fire. Once she had da fire goin’ she sat back on da floor wiff hers kitty and they watched as da da flames danced over da logs.  As they sat there, they began to notice black smoke hoverwin’ over da flames.  And da warmff of da fire wuz a little overwhelmin’ so they backed up a bit.  but mommy wuz still so purroud of hers fire she didn’t go faw. 

 0dw Lexi is fire

She wadded up sum more newspaper and fwu it into da flames.  And as she did da smoke began to seep out into da pawtment.  More and more smoke filled da pawtment.  Mommy kuldn’t see and hers wuz coughfin’ and hers eyes wuz waterin’ and she wuz finkin’ to hers selff dat she never saw this on da soaps.  But she knew da fireplace had never been used cuz da pawtment wuz new when she moved in, so she just fawt this wuz nowmal.  After ‘bout 30 minutes of da smoke fillin’ da pawtment mommy twied to put da fire out.  But da more she poked at da logs, da mowe da flames grew.   

Finally not knowin’ what els to do mommy went to hers kitchen and filled a pitcher wiff water and doused it all over da wood and flames.  Even more smoke emerged but at last da fire wuz out.  Mommy had a huge mess to clean up, but kuldn’t magine why in da world it had dun dat.  Da nex day at work she wuz tellin’ her coworkers ‘bout it and they asked her ifin she had opened da flue?  Opened da Flue, mommy questioned. What’s a flue?   

 0dw Dezi Christmas Heart

Mommy never completely got all da smell outta hers clothes and fings, but she learned fwum dat and has also never twied lightin’ a firplace again.  She’s never even lived anywhere dat had one again.  So dat’s why da lectwic fireplace is purrfect fur us.  there’s no need fur a flue. MOL  So dat’s da story of mommy smokin’ up da house.  Mommy’s not weally good wiff da fire fings dat be what she calls “men’s work”.  Now member meez mommy be an old Suddern Belle, so don’t get offended dat hers finks there be men’s work and womens work.  Ifin she had been datin’ sumpawdy she might have weally enjoyed dat first fireplace. MOL  

Don’t furget to go and enter ow give away.  Till da nex time………………Be Blest!!!

We’re Havin’ a Give Away

Published on by Service Cats U.S.77 Comments

OMC Weez havin’ ow very first ever review and give away.  And we are so excited to be duin’ this cuz we alweady use da purroduct weez reviewin’.  It be SwheatScoop Natural Clumping Litter.  Weez hav talked ‘bout it afur on lots of occasions, but this time weez gunna give one of you da oppurrtunity to twy it out fur yous selff. Or maybe you alweady use it and kuld use a bag.  And it’s not just any bag, it’s da 40 pound Multi-Cat formula. 

 SwheatScoop.com

Fur those of you hoo awen’t furmiliar wiff SwheatScoop let me tell ya’ ‘bout it.  It’s made fwum mostly U.S. sourced secondary wheat.  Dat’s da wheat dat wusn’t good enuff fur bakin’ and puttin’ in flour, but still 100% natural wheat.  No purrfumes which we cats hate.  No chemicals and is 100% bio- degradable.  Safe fur septic systems (accept Ca. where it’s not legal) and  da compost pile (so long as it’s not used on edible plants).  And ifin kitty ( or doggy, kiddo, etc.) accidentally ingests it, it’s 100% safe.  You know all those clumpin’ clay litters on da market?  They clump up like rocks, wight?  Well hav you ever wunnered just what they wuz duin’ inside yous kitties (dog)  wet intestines?  As a former Vet Tech mommy kuld tell you sum pawful stories (but dat’s not what this posty be bout).

 litterbox with SwheatScoop

SwheatScoop clumps just as well as those and actually better.  And if you awe a “flusher” (down da toilet) dat hawd clump of wheat bweaks up nicely when it hits da water in da toilet.  Just use a little common sense and don’t over fill.  In udder words, ifin yous got 3 or more kitties yous scoopin’ up after don’t put all of it in da toilet at da same time and expect everyfin’ to be fine.  Get weady fur an overflow.  MOL  But one clump at a time…no purrawlem.  Ifin yous have a kitty dat pees geysers, yous might wanna bweak up da clump a bit, but again, no purrawlem.  SwheatScoop dusn’t weally hav much of a smell until kitty uses it.  And fur a bwief moment, (and this is mommys descwiption) it smells like fwesh baked bwead.  Then da smell is gone and no more odor.  And it keeps da odors away naturally.  Again, No smelly purrfumes. And ifin yous innewested in da science of why wheat is so pawsum yous can check it out here.

Of Course ifin yous worried ‘bout bein’ gween and duin’ good fur da planet then yous can’t go wrong wiff SwheatScoop.  Bein’ biodegwadable and made fwum renewable, sustainable wesources it’s ‘bout as gween and good fur da planet as they come.  

Original Formula

Scroll across da fotos fur da descwiption.

And SwheatScoop  is readily acceptted by most cats and is wecommended by Vets.  They even give back to da community of kitties in need wiff their Swheat Shares purrogwam.  They choose 12 wescues a year and  each mumff purrvides them wiff 2000 pounds of litter and adoption kits dat follow adopted kitties to their furever homes. 

Awe you still on da fence?  Well da only fing left is to let yous twy it yous selff.  And then you and yous kitty make da choice to make da switch.  Weez givin’ away a 40 pound bag of da Multi Cat SwheatScoop.  Now dat’s a pawfully big bag to be shippin’ so what you will weceive is a coupon fur your furee bag dat you can get anywhere SwheatScoop is sold.  Ifin yous not know whether it’s available in yous awea or not, visit SwheatScoops store finder to locate a wetailer near you.  Just leave a comment tellin’ us yous wuld like to enter tween now and Furiday 12/19/14, and weez’ll put yous name in a random selector and pick a winner.

OMC Just No, No, No

Published on by Service Cats U.S.53 Comments

OMC Just wait’ll yous hear ‘bout ow day yesfurday.  It wuz just No, No, No to everyfin’.  As you know mommy and me wuz headin’ to da city to hav da caw worked on cuz her got a letter ‘bout a wecall.  And when hers called to make da pointment they told her dat there wuz an outstandin’ wecall fwum 2004.  They told her it wuz sumfin’ to do wiff da blinkers and flashers.  So altho’ it shulda been dun, it wusn’t gunna kill us or cause an accident.  Now let me splain.  Da letter we got sed dat there wuz a purrawlem wiff da ignition switch and dat it kuld, ifin weez wuz to hit a bump or a bump da wight way; it kuld turn da key and lock up da engine and splode da air bags and cause mommy to completely lose contwol of da caw and send us kareenin’ into da embankment or twaffic, or a pole, etc..  Awe you skeered yet?  Well mommy wuz alwight. Here she had been dwivin’ this caw fur da last 2 years and cawtin’ Lexi and me wound in a “death twap” hers fawt.  Mommy had even scheduled a purrivate posty dat wulda sent out ifin she hadn’t cancelled it tellin’ a specific purrsun to sue da pants off ‘em ifin we had died in a wreck.  

 0dw Lexi sneaky

So yesfurday when we got weady to go to ow pointment mommy wuz a little nervous cuz it wuz cold and gway and foggy.  You know skeery movie foggy.  But we needed to go so mommy kuld quit bein’ fwaid to dwive anywhere.  So off we went.  And yes, we wuz runnin’ late.  Mommy sez dat Lexi and me know when she plans on goin’ sumwhere and we know zackly when hers posed to leave to be on time, and then we make sure dat dusn’t happen.  MOL  And yesfurday wuz Lexi’s turn.  She fwu up bwekky all over da place.  In da hall, in da pawdee box room, and on da litter mat.  OMC she didn’t even eat dat much.  So mommy had to clean all dat up afur we kuld leav.  Finally we wuz on da road.  We get to da city and mommy can’t find da dealership (she had looked it up in da fone book).  So she calls and gets diwections and we head dat way. 

 Lexi-Dezi christmas candle - 2HEoW-1db - normal

When we got there, mommy dwove wight past da gawage doors.  So here we awe in all this wet and fog twyin’ to turn wound wiffout hittin’ any of these bwand new caws and finkin’ da whole time da caw kuld lock up any minute now.  Well we finally got into da gawage and mommy gathered all ow stuffs up and da man at da desk looked us up on da catputer and filled out a work order.  Hims walked us to da waitin’ awea and told mommy there wuz fwesh coffee, hot chocolate and donuts, and to make owselves comfy and hims wuld call us when da caw wus ready.  Mommy had a coffee and a chocolate and me had sum water and mommy kinda played wound a bit wiff hers new iPad Air.  Almost 2 hours later hims finally came to get us and da first fing hims sed wuz, “Miss High we couldn’t fix your ignition problem cuz this (he held up da caw keys) is an after market key.”

Awe you kiddin’?  Dat’s da one dat had mommy so skeered and sounded so dangewous.  So of course mommy asked ‘bout it. She wanted to know just what da key had to do wiff fixin’ this howwible purrawlem.  So hims sed dat it wusn’t actually da ignition but da key and it’s key FOB dat wuz da danger.  Hims sed sum peeps hav so much on their key FOBs dat when they hit a bump da keys go flyin’ up in da air and kuld actually cause da ignition to switch off.  Da fix wus posed to be a little plastic fingy dat fit in da openin’ on da top of da key and a little kitty/dog name tag ring.  Mommy wuz like, yous got to be kiddin’ me!!!  See mommy sits wight under da steerin’ wheel. Peeps hav never unnewstood how she dwives dat way,  cuz her be so tall.  Gettin’ off twack a bit here.  So mommy had asked ifin there wuz any udder options, and ifin hims wuz sure dat wuz all there wuz to it.  He assured mommy all wuz well and she signed da work order welease and turned and looked fur da caw.  He told us where da caw wuz and we headed over.  Mommy put me and ow stuffs in da caw and then went wound to da dwiver’s side to crawl in.  OMC hoo ever “fixed” da caw wuz a big man cuz da seat wuz so faw back mommy kuldn’t even weach da gas pedal.  Now, member me told you dat mommy combines as many fings as she can into a twip cuz da purrice of gas. 

 0dw Dezi on back

So we got into da caw and mommy went into hers purse to check hers list.  Now as you know mommy be disabled and weceives Social Security.  Hers gets paid on da 3rd, and sez dat da munny be gone even afur we get it.  Not weally, but as soon as she gets paid, she pays da bills and gets da stuffs Lexi and me needs and then it’s gone.  Now when we say weez hav no munny, we mean we only hav ‘bout .35 cents to ow name.  Mommy used to keep a quawter in da caw fur emergency fone pay fone calls till sumpawdy stole it.  So now hers dusn’t do dat anymore.  Well dat and da fact dat there awen’t any pay fones left. MOL  And well weez to dat point in da mumff when weez hav no munny.  It’s okay weez be used to it, and wuldn’t be tellin’ ya’ all this ifin it didn’t hav sumfin’ to do wiff da story of ow day.  Now altho’ weez hav no munny, weez do hav a foo dollaws left on da mickey D’s cawd ow furiend sent us back when we went to stay in da motel while ow pawtment wuz bein’ wedun.  And we had a kupple dollaws left on da gift cawd awnty Jennifer sent us fur Fanksgivin’.  But when mommy looked in hers purse, Oh meez Catness, there wuz NO MUNNY and NO GIFT CAWDS!!!  We wuz dead bwoke!!!  Wunna know why?  Cuz mommy had furgot hers wallet back at home.  She kuldn’t even write a hot check fur hot gween papers.  Cuz she even left da checkbook back at da house, along wiff hers dwivers license.  What a bummer.  No bacon burger fur me.  And no stops anywhere dat might giv me tweats cuz now mommy wealizes ifin hers got pulled over she wuld be in sum deep you know what.  Oh well, it wuz dawk now and da fog wuz even worse.  So we ‘cided to just come home and we wuld go back to da city anudder day when da wedder wuz better.  Fank Catness we hadn’t weally needed any of da fings hers left back at da house.  Guess da new duty Lexi and me will be learnin’ is to make sure mommy has hers wallet and checkbook and any gift cawds we might hav afur we leav da house.
