We won’t be writin’ a lot today cuz mommy has that free exam at the dental clinic. But we did wanna update you all a bit. We told ya’ that last bad fall mommy took really did a number on her. She had the doctor take a look see on Monday, and he said she hadn’t broken anything. that was the good mews. She does have a huge knot and some general swelling that he said should get better in about 6 weeks or so. And then he told her that the falls were only gonna get worse as she gets older. Like she didn’t already know that. MOL
Anyways, we were really happy that most of ya’ were interested in followin’ the progress of AeroGarden. Let me tell ya’, that Raena is keepin’ a real close eye on everything. Y, Last night she tried to run off with another one of those caps. Fankfully mommy saw it all unfoldin’ and was able to grab the cap and replace it befur any damage could be done. But, fanks to Raenas’ watchful eye and antics, mommy realized that we have some sprouts. Yep, sure ‘nuff, we have some baby leaves and stems growin’. Mommy had missed it cuz those little caps are full of humidity with little water drops obscurin’ her vision. Like she needs anything else messin’ with her eyes. MOL

As to the who, that will go with mommy today, you’ll just have to wait and see. Me thinks me got more votes, but one of ya’ pointed out all the reasons you thought it should be me. Ya’ mentioned the chaos of Wally World, the uncertainty and length of the appointment, and mes superior calm demeanor in all situations. Unfurtunately, those are the exact reasons Raena should go. She needs to learn to be calm under pressure and in all situations while still purrfurming her duties. So it falls to mommy to decide who will get to go. How she’s feelin’ and what she thinks she can tolerate play a big part in her decision making.
A couple of you suggested we both go. So we thought we should explain why, that wasn’t a good idea. We would luv it and so would mommy. But, we both do the alert to a syncope incident, so mommy doesn’t need both of us in public. And the common sense and respect fur others comes into play. Mommy will be going to places that generally don’t allow pets/animals, but by law have to allow Service Animals. The actions of one purrson can affect all. So it’s better to take only one of us and remain low key, than to take both of us and insist they allow it. Ifin this was an overnight trip, that would be different, because it takes both of us to purrfurm the duties required. So, we’ll let ya’ know who and what happened in another posty.
This was the box with cheater mac and cheater taters mommy got back in December. Mommy says Fank you sooooooooooo much. She really enjoyed all da goodies in this box. She luvved dat cornbread and those brownies were outta this world. She ate it allllllll up. MOL
We also wanted to address our cheater mac and cheater taters comments. We received an email that said we sounded ungrateful, which couldn’t be further from the truth. It was mostly said to give you all a giggle. Mommy has always called boxed and pre-packaged foods as “cheater” food cuz they’re easy peasy to make. Instead of grating 4 cheeses and baking in the oven fur an hour, cheater mac is made on the stove top in ‘bout 10 minutes. Instead of bakin’, roastin’ or boilin’ and mashin’ up taters, the “cheater” taters can be made on the stove top in less than 5 minutes. Mommy enjoyed the cheater mac and ‘specially those butter flavor taters. We have no clue who sent them to mommy, but we wanted to make sure we pawlogized ifin you thought we were ungrateful cuz that just isn’t true.
Well, we gotta go now, so mommy can get ready. We’ll be by when we can. We hope you’re all stayin’ warm and toasty.
Well Meowllo, it’s time fur another Service Cat Monday. Can me be completely and totally honest with ya’? Yes? Good. We’ve only had the wheelchair workin’ again fur a couple of days. And durin’ those days mommy was hurtin’ purretty bad from head to toe; so she didn’t even put Raena in the chair once. Now me knows we told ya’ that mommy had intentions of trainin’ sis Raena to drive, and that we would chronicle it on Service Cat Monday. But havin’ fell on Thursday and with so much to do this week, mommy hasn’t even thought about trainin’ something new.
We hope you can furgive us. We plan to be back on track next week. Mommy told me that she actually thought about takin’ this week off cuz we had so much goin’ on. But we told her, that we had the bestest furiends in the universe and that you’d all understand.
Fankfully the snow has melted and the sun is shining. Mommy and Raena will be headin’ to mommys’ regular monthly doctors ‘pointment today, so they’ve gotta start getting’ ready shortly. Paws crossed, Raenas’ harness still fits. She has gained a few pounds. MOL
We haven’t decided who’s gonna get to go with mommy to that dental exam on Wednesday, but we’ll let ya’ know. Since Raena’s still in trainin’, she should be the one to go. But, the dentist is in the Wally World town, and me wants to go. What do ya’ll think? Should we toss a coin? Draw straws? How would you decide?
It’s simple sissy. You’ve gone everywhere with mommy fur 7 years, so now it’s mines turn.
Hmmmmpht That doesn’t make any difference. Maybe this should have been our Service Cat Monday posty; How to decide which Service Cat to take to town. What do ya’ll think? We’re gonna wrap it up now so mommy can get ready. We’ll be by to visit as soon as we can.
Meowllo everypawdy. Me knows it’s Service Cat Monday and you’re all expectin’ to learn ‘bout kitty dialin’ 911 trainin’. But, as you know mommy had her regular monthly doctors pointment last Furiday. These ‘pointments are to monitor her medications and get refills. She has medicine dat can’t be called in, she has to have a new purrscription every month. But when mommy arrived, there was a note on da door dat said da doctor wasn’t in and wouldn’t be back till Monday.
When they furinally unlocked da door and let mommy in, she asked why she wasn’t called and her ‘pointment wasn’t rescheduled. They said there were no ‘pointments dat day. Mommy made them look it up and lo’ and behold they said dat she had a ‘pointment in her records but it wasn’t in their books. What does dat even mean? They have a catputer, actually several. There aren’t any old fashioned ‘pointment books in da office. Each office girl has 2 catputers and da nurse and doctor have ipawds of some sort and then there’s everypawdy else in there. Mommy always has da girls at da front desk schedule her next ‘pointment befur she leaves each month and they give her a card with her ‘pointment day and time on it. Anyways, there was no doctor fur mommy to see. So she has to go in today.
And trust me, it’s been a very long weekend. Tween sis Raena’s post op needs and mes neediness and mommy’s increased pain we’re behind in everythin’ and mommy also has to get ready fur another ‘pawrtment inspection. So, we’ll be back next week with Service Cat Monday, and we’ll be ‘round to visit as soon as we can. We are still sendin’ purrayers to those affected by da recent storms. Unfurtunately this wasn’t da last one we’ll see. But God can keep us all. We’d purreciate your purrayers fur us and mommy as well. We’re gonna wrap it up fur now, we just wanted to update ya’ and let you know what’s goin’ on and where we are/have been. Here’s to a pawsumly wonderful day.
Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Are ya’ there? Well, I’s wanted to fank you all fur those doggy wags, kitty purrs and purrayers, mines eye is feelin’ soooo much better. I’s didn’t get to go with mommy to her doctor, but at least I’s not have to go to dat mean ole VET.
Dezi:Raena, are you hijackin’ me’s blog again?
Raena: No sissy, I’s just wanted to fank everypawdy fur their doggy wags, kitty purrs and purrayers fur mines eye. You know I’s sure didn’t wanna have to go to da VET, but it was hurtin’ somethin’ pawful.
Blooper
Dezi:Oh, well dat’s okay then. We are so blest to have so many pawsum furiends dat care ‘bout us dat’s fur sure.
Raena: Dat’s true sissy. And I’s know they are all gonna be thrilled and purroud of you when you tell them ‘bout da storms we’re havin’.
Dezi:Me’s not so sure ‘bout thrilled Raena, but most will be purroud dat me’s not even actin’ ‘fraid of those ole storms dat have been grumblin’ since yesfurday. ‘Course everypawdy knows dat when it storms mommy doesn’t let us on da catputer much. So we have to tell everypawdy dat we’ll be by to visit as soon as we can. Mommy usually tries to let us visit ‘tween downpours. But it looks like we won’t be goin’ strollin’ any time soon. Anyways, we’s gonna keep it short today cuz of da storms. It’s Furiday so you all know dat means we’re joinin’ Rascal and Rocco and their amazin’ co hosts fur da weekly Pet Parade. And it’s also Blooper Roundup Furiday, so we’re joinin’ The Lazy PitBull with our blooper fotos. And…
Blooper
Raena: Sissy can I say somethin’ else befur we go?
Dezi:Sure Raena, what is it?
Raena: Well you know peeps are always askin’ ‘bout how we’re getting’ along, and several even suggested dat you might have caused mines eye to hurt; so I’s wanted to tell everypawdy ‘bout our relationship. I’s luvs, luvs, luvs mines sis Dezi, and truth be told she luvs me too. But, I’s also a rowdy, energetic, non stop kitten dat thinks sneak attacks, even when sis Dezi’s in da pawdee box, are great ideas. I’s luvs standin’ and walkin’ on mines back paws so I can look huge and flail mines arms ‘round in sissys’ face. Sissy doesn’t find dat amusin’ at all and generally hisses right in mines face. But I’s know she still luvs me, cuz ifin I’s get quiet and she can’t see me, she goes thru da house lookin’ fur me. And when I’s not feel good, she takes great care of me. I’s just wanted you all to know dat we’re gonna be da bestest of sisfur furiends ever, but some things aren’t gonna happen till I’s learn to act a little calmer.
This is what sis Dezi sees most of da time. I’s just luvs
jumpin’ on her from outta nowhere. MOL
Dezi:Well fanks Raena. Me does luv you, but you do need to calm down a bit. Even mommy agrees with dat. MOL Anyways, we’re gonna go fur now and see ‘bout a meownin’/mid day nap. Don’t furget to check out all da bloopers and have a pawsum day.
