Anyways, Wednesday came and mommy had hoped to get wound a little earlier than normal. Of course dat didn’t happen. And as always we knew sumfin’ wuz up, and did evewyfin’ we kuld to distwact her. Kulda had sumfin’ to do wiff da fact dat hers wuz puttin’ on hers “purretty” face. Me had to get in on dat action. Me luvs mommys makeup. Hers bwushes awe so soft, and da powder feels so good. And of course when she’s twyin’ to draw a stwaight line wound hers eyes wiff dat tiny little bwush me has to nose bump hers awm. She needs dat extwa luvvin’ and help. And then just when she wuz makin’ hers lashes blacker than black da fone wang and it wuz ow company. They wuz a little bit lost and a lot early. 

Can me help you mommy? Me wuld like sum powder too.

See GPS never weally worked here in ow town, but a foo years back we went fwu dat e-911 addwess change dat a lot of towns and cities did, so dat emergency workers kuld find you ifin yous wus usin’ a cell fone. Yeah wight!!! Now nopawdy can find anypawdy and evewypawdy has to pay da tax man. When there’s a gawage sale in town now, da listin’ in da newspaper tells da name of da purrsun havin’ da sale, not their addwess. Udderwise nopawdy wuld come; cuz they wuldn’t be able to find ‘em. Aaaaah da joys of small town livin’. MOL Anyways meez getting’ off twack again. Mommy had told ow company to be sure and purrogwam ow nummer into their fone so hers kuld giv them diwections or go and meet them and let them follow hers to ow house. So mommy wuz twyin’ to giv them diwections and put on hers mascawa at da same time. Till hers got black stuff all over da place. You know mommy has dawk circles and jumbo luggage wound hers eyes anyways, she dusn’t need anymowe black. She finally wealized hers kuldn’t do boff at da same time, and just talked on da fone and helped them find us. When mommy got up to wave out da door, me got da message dat sumpawdy wuz comin’ and they wuz here.

Well after da last 2 days of stinky sweaty men bein’ in ow house cuttin’ da lectwicity and stompin’ back and forff fwu ow house, me kuldn’t magin’ just hoo wuz comin’ up da walk nex so me took off fur pawts unknown. Better known as UTB. It wusn’t long afur me heard da voices of women chattewin’ and laffin’ and then me saw mommys feet headin’ toward da bed. And then me heard sis Lexi let out hers twademawk Hisssssssss and whine. And mommy sayin’, “Oh honey it’s okay. Don’t you wanna meet awnty Ann? She’s come all this way to meet you and bring you a surprise. And sissy let out anudder Hisssss and low wumbly growl. Don’t know when mommy’s gunna get it fwu hers fick skull dat weez not get nearly as ‘cited as fast as her. But then me heard those girly voices cooin’ over Lexi and tellin’ hers how purretty she wuz and what gawjus eyes she had and hers wespondin’ wiff a foo more hisses and growls. Now as you all know she ain’t got no teeff so it’s not like she wuz gunna bite anypawdy, she just wanted to show off hers technique. And then da hissin’ and growlin’ stopped.  And sis Lexi joined me, UTB. Whew…it’s all over.  

What'cha gettin' weady fur mommy?
What’cha gettin’ weady fur mommy?

And then…there wuz mommys hands gwabbin’ onto me. OMC Meez had to show off too, so me Hissed da biggest hiss me kuld get out to show meez dispurrleasure. Then mommy sed in dat voice, you know da one, so sugawy sweet it’s posed to mask da bad fing dat’s comin’. “Oh Dezi you’re way too purretty to be actin’ like this. I promise you’re going to love awnty Ann and hers furiend.” And against meez purrotests down da hall to da livin’ room we went. And then me saw them, 2 very purretty ladies; lookin’ down da hall at me and cooin’. Aha Take dat sissyfur, they fink meez bootyful too and dat me has gawjus eyes too. And then they offered soft hands and stawted pettin’ me. Well this ain’t so bad after all. At least they’re much purretier than da lectwic men. They smell better too. So when mommy put me down me had to show off meez belly and meez rollin’ in da nip nana technique. And me had to check out da new purrses in da house. Not nearly big nuff to hold me, but they did hav sum innewestin’ smells. So me had to add meez own smell to those dat wuz alweady there. Hmmmpht When they get back home their furries awe gunna know dat they cheated fur sure. Meez gunna make certain of dat. MOL

But blogger dusn’t seem to be any better. Meez been purrovin’ meez not a wobot fur so long now dt meez actually stawtin’ to feel like one. Yes we know lots of you can just ignore it and it’ll post yous comment. But weez usin’ ow wordpress ID and not google, twitter or facebook, so it won’t let us ignore it. Da more we twy, da hawder da captchas get.

 0dw Dezi robot

Weez just happened to be visitin’ CK when we made this video, but it’s not just hers, it’s most of da blogger bloggys. We just fawt we wuld show ya’ dat weez can’t ignore it. So dat’s why when we do get behind altho’ weez wead all you back postys we only comment on da one. Hopefully this captcha fingy will be over soon.

Will You Join?

Meowllo everpawdy, happy Furiday!!! Da weekend is here. Do yous hav plans? It’s warmed up a bit fur us and da sunpuddles awe out and weez enjoyin’ every minute of it. Mommy sez she has da mudder of all migwaines but she’s still gunna twy to take Lexi and me fur a stwoll this weekend. See she has these migwaines all da time, but sumtimes they build up and get weally bad, and she’s been fightin’ this one all week and hopin’ it wuldn’t bawge on da scene, but it did. It hit full furce yesfurday. Anyways, we wusn’t gunna post today cuz of it, but when checkin’ ow emails we came acwoss sumfin’ dat we fawt needed to be shared. Now lots of you purrawlly got da same email, after all weez all animal luvvers and purrawlly get a lot of da same mails. But just in case yous didn’t and fur those dat don’t get emails fwum da ASPCA we ‘cided to post.   

 0dw Dezi on chair arm

As you know we got into social media cuz da ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act-Department) changed da definition of a Service Animal and we wanted to bwing light and educate peeps dat dogs awen’t da only Service Animals out there. And while da ADA has yet to follow any of ow accounts or change da definition back, we hav succeeded in educatin’ lots of peeps. So we do see dat as a win. Altho’ there awe many injustices wiff wegards to anipals dat go on everyday much worse than ow plight. Laws need to be changed and stiffer penalties fur those dat abuse, neglect, and abandon anipals. Da study of Psychology sez dat murderers offen stawt out when they’re childwen by abusin’ animals. And even as purrgwessive as we awe today and as faw as weez come as a society, animals awe still seen as fwo away purr-opurrty. (not by everpawdy, but by a lot).

 0dw Lexi mommys lap C-U

There awe still aweas of this world dat hav dog fights, cock fights, indiscwiminate bweedin’, and so much more. How do we change this? What can we do ‘bout it? We all fink weez just one voice wiff no power. But when we band togedder weez lot of voices and weez be roarin’ loud and purroud fur da welfare of animals everywhere. Alone we might not make a diffewence, but togedder we can’t be stopped. Da ASPCA has put togedder a list of fings you can do fwu social media to help change da wongs dun to animals. First, follow da lawmakers in yous awea on their social media pages, they’ve all got ’em. And when yous hav a cause dat needs addwessin’, post it to their Facebook page, tweet it to them, email them. And get udders to do da same. They sure don’t mind buggin’ you when they want elected or munny. While they might not be checkin’ their pages themselves, in this day and age, there is sumpawdy on their staff moniterin’ it. And enuff voices can cause a change.

Where Am I?

Meowllo everypawdy hope yous havin’ a blest day. Sumfin’ happened last night dat goes wight along wiff what me wanted to post ‘bout today. Well at least sum of it. Meez posted a similar posty afur but me has new furiends now and we fink this be a topic dat kuld be shared everyday and it wuldn’t be enuff. So as wiff meez purrtant educational postys da rest of this post will be in hooman so there be no misunnewstandin’ what meez sayin’.

 0dw Dezi on cat tree

Last night right at dinner time there was a knock on our door. Our neighbor, mr. W. said that Buddy was loose and needed mommy to help get him back in the house. A new physical therapist had been at mr. W’s house and when he left Buddy darted out after a rabbit he had been watchin’ through the window. And before he knew it he had followed te rabbit out into the woods behind our complex. Now he found himself alone and lost. Yes, mommy put on her Eskimo garb and went out to help get him back home. It was already dark so mommy stood at the edge of the woods and hollered for him. She finally heard him rustlin’ the leaves and headed toward her voice. See Buddy’s been a little skeered lately cause mr. W’s been very sick, and even spent some time in the hospital. Buddy’s 5 years old and has been with mr. W since he was about 6 months old. He doesn’t really know any other life. So if something was to happen to mr. W and he could no longer care for Buddy, what do you suppose would happen to him?. 

This is a foto of Buddy in hims home bein' a good boy.
This is a foto of Buddy in hims home bein’ a good boy.

And everyday we read posts somewhere in the internet about some cat ending up in a shelter or rescue because their people could no longer care for them. We think it’s heartbreaking, but even more so when that kitty is older and has spent it’s life living in one home only to find itself behind bars in a shelter somewhere. And it’s not just cats, it’s all pets that are in danger of this happening to them. In this day and age, we just don’t understand why this happens. people can take the time to write a will leaving their earthly belongings to some family member or friend or charity, but they can’t take the time to ensure that the living, breathing, being who has shared their lives and given them love has a place to go to also.

 dw Lexi checking out toys

Please don’t assume your children or some other family member is going to come in and take your beloved pet. More often than not your family members are heading straight for the local shelter.  Since we are cats, we will focus on cats, but there are lots of places that you can contact regarding your particular pet. Click here for a list of some of those places. Your cat has given you years of happiness and love, don’t abandon them when it’s your time. Make arrangements and put them in writing. Let someone else know your wishes. None of us are promised a tomorrow. Anything can happen at any time. So the sooner you get the arrangements made the better. You can always change it, but after you’re gone it’s too late. 

Till da nex time………………Be Blest!!!
