She didn’t awlwayz seem like da crizpezt cracker in da package. So mommy had used luv and nip and now she ‘cided to use treatz. Awlrite, I’z luv treatz. Maybe thiz konztant traynin’ wuz gunna be a good fing after awl. Mommy gave us boff a kupple treatz and then put da bag in da little pouch on da arm of da chair. So here we iz boff sittin’ in mommyz lap lickin’ our lipz and tayztin’ da lazt bit of treet and mommyz reddy too trayn. Well Dezi had udder ideaz and…Well it went sumpin’ like diz…

When mommy put da treat bag in da pouch Deziz eyez went wiv her. And az mommy adjuzted me on herz levt leg Dezi put herz head fru da side of da arm and stuck it into da pouch wiv da treat bag. So when mommy let go of me and turned herz tenshun too Dezi who wuz tryin’ too pull da treat bag up, I’z ‘cided too help her. Hmmmmm maybe diz kat aynt az dumb az she lookz, I’z fawt. Now ya’ gotta unnerstand at at time helpin’ meant dat I’z wuz tryin’ too push herz outta da way soz I kuld get a treat furzt. Aaaaw Come on, I’z da oldezt and I’z been here da longezt, AND I’ can drive da chair awlreddy. So I’z dezerve da furzt treat, rite? Rite!!! I’z habz grown up a lot sinz din and I’z lubz minez sissyfur Dezi bunchez now. But back din she wuz a real payn in minez pawz-teerier. Anywayz there we wuz each one of us mommyz legz tryin’ too get da treat bag and mommyz tryin’ too pull us away so Dezi can habz a traynin’ seshun. Dezi finally got a good hold on dat treat bag and wuz ay-bull too pull it up outta dat pouch. Well in da middle of awl diz skufflin’ we had pawed da power button sevral timez and had stood on da speed button cauzin’ it to go awl da way too top speed and down again over and over.

 dw-DeziDSCN4933 (800x599)

Az Dezi pulled thoze treatz up and pushed me back, herz big ole furry paw steadies its selff on da joystick pad. And az she did….Vroooooooooooooooom full speed ahead weez went. Da jolt furwerd cauzed us too get frown back in da chair. Weez only came too a full stop when we ran into da same chezt Dezi had run intoo afur. Dezi turned herz head so we kuld see eyez big az sawzerz and wiff da treat bag still hangin’ frum herz mouff she let out a growl. Now let me tell ya’ ‘bout Dezi and herz growlin’. She has what mommy and me call a fayke growl. It’s a mediun pitched grrrrrrrr dat she uses when mommy has to klean herz bloomerz or da rabbitz and squirrelz come up too da door. This wasn’t dat growl. She was usin’ diz low and loud Grrrrrrr dat sed she meant biznezz. I looked up at mommy who now had eyez big az sawzerz too; and mommy reached over and grabbed da bag of treatz frum Dezi and sed, “Alright girls, neither of ya’ are getting treats. Treats are for good girls and y’all are actin’ pretty ugly right now.” I knew dat tone and knew it meant we really wuzn’t getting’ anymore treatz. So I jumped down and Dezi followed behind me. Mommy parked da chair and hooked up da charger and declared lesson over.

Da next meownin’ when we all woke up Dezi and me gave mommy herz meownin’ get it in gear massage and rolled her to da chair. Az soon az mommys hiney-bo hit da seat, Dezi hopped over in herz lap and started meowin’. Mommy started to move Dezi over and told me to get in the chair cuz she really needed to go to da pawdee room asap. So I’z crouched to jump into mommyz lap in da chair, and Dezi bit down on da joystick and pushed. Da chair turned and took off like lightnin’. I’z took a small leap and landed back on da bed cuz da back of da chair was facin’ me and movin’ away fazt. Mommy started hollerin’, “Lexi, baby, are you okay?” I’z stood up awl startled and dizzy like when I’z heard a loud boom, and looked over towardz mommy, and she and Dezi wuz safely in da pawdee box room. They had hit da baff tub, but they wuz there and safe. I ran too them and Dezi wuz wigglin’ herz suthern belle little (huge) hiney bo and getting’ awl kinds of prayz and lubbin’. Dezi be awl ‘cited dat she had gotten mommy to da pawdee box room. Purrleaze, youz gotta do it more din once afur youz get to celebrayt like dat I’z told her. Youz know any kitty can habz a freak accident. When she can do it ebbertime wiffout runnin’ into ebberfing in da houze thenz when it’ll beez time fur celebraytin’. I’z hope youz awl enjoyed minez tellin’ of Deziz furzt success.

Fanks sissy. Meez turned out to be purretty smawrt don’t ya’ fink? Weez joinin’ Rascal and Rocco fur da Pet Pawade Blog Hop.

Today be a day we member cuz so many Americans lost their lives when da planes went cwashin’ into da towers. When terrorism reared it’s ugly head in our country and on our soil. America hadn’t known this kind of violence in a very long time. Our stweets and land had been safe fur many years. We haven’t had war on our soil since the Civil War. We send out fawts and purrayers to all those affected and salute all those who worked tirelessly to restore our great Country. We must always remember lest we be doomed to wepeat da past.

Lionesses On The Prowl

Canadian Adventures

Here we awe wiff anudder epawsode of da adventures of Izzy and Tristy (aka: Flat Scout Dezi and Flat Scout Christy Paws). When last you caught up wiff our little flat lionesses Christy told da stowry of their twavels to Canada to visit Shoko and Kali where they had a blast. Click on da names in red above ifin yous missed those stories. Anyways, da girls had a gweat time and sed their goodbyes and headed off fur da states again to visit meez wunnewful, handsum mancat Andy in Ohio. Now me knows yous gunna wanna hear all ‘bout dat visit, so be here next Caturday. And weez even got a surpwise fur ya’ dat weez’ll tell ya’ ‘bout then. Be sure and mawk yous calendars. So today meez gunna tell ya’ all ‘bout da adventurwous journey Izzy and Tristy had getting’ to Andy’s house.

This is all da scouts visitin’ when we left. L-R: Pete, Izzy, Tristy, Timmy, Meiko, Buddy Budd, Einstein, and Shoko (Foko)

We sed our goodbyes to Shoko and Kali and all da udder flats dat was visitin’. Shoko’s mommy had been so pawsum and fixed us up sum lunches and snacks fur our twip. We had taken da twain and da bus on our way, but we had weally wanted to see sum of Canada so we ‘cided take our time and camp out a few nights. Me used to go horseback ridin’ wiff mommy and Christy has a horse so we rented a couple horses and a pack mule and headed off to see a little of Canada on our way back to da States. We left wound noon on Caturday afur last and rode till it stawrted getting’ dawrk. We found a nice quiet awea by a stweam to make camp fur da night. We watered da horses and mule and unpacked da tent we had rented as well. We was very furtunate to find a rancher willin’ to come to da border and pick up hims horses afur we cwossed over. Tristy pitched da tent as me gathered wood and made da fire.

 dw-ITHorses

Finally our tent pitched, our horses and mule hitched Tristy and me settled in to check out da pawsum meal awnty Jean had sent wiff us and talk ‘bout all we had seen dat day. We had a meal fit fur queens, rather lionesses; and regaled da booty of Canada. There was so many twees and gweenery. And we had seen lots of birds and wabbits along da way. Da peeps we encountered when we went fwu towns was so nice. We took a bweak in a little town earlier to water da horses and met up wiff sum weally furiendly kitties.

Tristy: They were real nice Izzy. You know lots of Canadian cats spend time outside as well as in. We saw that while staying with Shoko too. I don’t know that I would want mom to shut me outside. I like to be the house with all my toys and trees and family too much.

 dw-ITcampsite1

Izzy: Yeah Tristy they was weally cool and all but it’s just too dangerwous fur us to be outside like dat. They seemed to enjoy eatin’ stwange noms at differwent houses, but me likes to know where mommy is when me eats. And you know wiff all meez fur it gets kinda hot outside. Me wuld miss da a/c too much. It sure was nice of awnty Jean to send us wiff these pawsum noms fur tonight. What do you fink we oughtta hunt fur tomowwos meal?

Tristy: It was Izzy. I was kind of thinking we might have to have a couple of Canadian rabbits before we leave. What do you think?

Izzy: Me finks dat’s a gweat idea Tristy. There sure seems to be purrlenty wound here. Guess we oughtta turn in fur da night so we can get an early stawrt tomowwo.

We boff sed goodnight and crawled in da tent and fell fast asleep. Me dweamed of ketchin’ wabbits and of seein’ meez handsum Andy. Da next meownin’ we boff rose early and bein’ da good scouts we awe, we put out our fire and cleaned up da campsite so yous kuldn’t even tell we had been there. ‘Cept fur dat one spot. We kuldn’t wesist and had cawrved our names into one of da twees. Me sure hopes Den Master dusn’t give us a demotion fur dat, we just kuldn’t help ourselves. We pasked up and headed off. This wuld be our last day and night in da wilds of Canada.

 dwIThorses2

We twaveled most of da day enjoyin’ our time in Canada. But as night approached we stawrted lookin’ fur a place to camp and keepin’ our eyes out fur those wascally wabbits. We finally came upon a small clearin’ wiff a nice little waterin’ hole and ‘cided to make camp there fur da night. We got set up and then went on da prowl fur dinner. We cwouched low to da gwound and caught wind of a wabbit by da waterin’ hole. We worked togevver like a kupple of weal lionesses wuld. We inched closer and closer and then spwang and took down a kupple wabbits in one pounce. We carried them back to our camp and cleaned ‘em up and hung ‘em on da spit. We put da hide and fur in our saddle bags fur a later purroject. As we ate da fwuits (wabbits) of our furst hunt togevver we chatted ‘bout da fun we had and how we kuldn’t wait to get acwoss da border and on to Andy’s house da next day. This wuld be one of their longest twips since most of da scouts live in da states.

dw-ITcamp2

Da next meownin’ da two little lionesses awoke early and cleaned up their campsite and headed off to meet wiff da nice rancher who wuld be takin’ da horses and mule back. Fwum there they caught a ride wiff a nice twucker and hims doggy on into Ohio. Da twucker was so nice he even dwove them wight up to Andy’s house. As Izzy and Tristy waved goodbye da ‘citement began to overtake Izzy. In a few short minutes she was gunna be starin’ at sweet Andy in da fur. Da girls stood at da door and looked at each udder afur knockin’. They wunnerwed just what adventures awaited them beyond da door. Finally Izzy reached her paw up and knocked, and…………………………..Join us every week fur da continuin’ saga of our little flat Lionesses on da Prowl.

We’ve been Multiplied

Well now cwazy days awe here again. Yesfurday we visited and then twied to write up meez twainin’ posty fur today and we worked on meez cweative Flat Fursday posty too. Can you believe it? We was gunna be a whole day ahead again. Duwin’ da flood last year we actually was able to stay a day or two ahead. When our puter cwashed and da innewnet went out fur days, we got behind and now we just write meez posties everyday. Mommy got tired and fell asleep at da puter afur puttin’ da fotos in meez posty and schedulin’ it last night, so this meownin’ we went stwaight to da Live writer to finish it up. Sumfin’ kept naggin’ at mommy and so she ‘cided to check da emails afur we finished up meez posty and OMC is me ever glad we did. Cuz today be Mo’ Cats Day!!!

 dw-spDnL tiledperspective

So da stowry goes sumfin’ like this: way back in 2009 on September da 9ff sumpawdy out there (a cat hater to be sure) declared dat day to be No cats day. See? Had to be a cat hater.

A Chewy Catswell Tuesday

Well Meowllo day of labor. MOL Yous know sis Lexi has had sum weally bad days here lately where she “kuldn’t” eat. She was innewested and hungwy but she just didn’t seem to be able to eat. When we finally figgered out what was wrong and got da acids unnew contwol we was all a happy bunch here. She was finally eatin’ again. Gwanted she wasn’t eatin’ as well as she had been but mommy and me was just happy to see hers eat anyfin’. She was lookin’ like a bag of bones and had mommy cwyin’ all da time.

Yippeeeee A chewy box!!!
Yippeeeee A chewy box!!!

Well as you know weez pawrt of da Chewy.com blogger purrogwam and very gwateful fur dat; so when we got da list of choices this mumff we tentatively aksed fur da Catswell Nutrisca Grain Free Chicken Entre`e in Savory Broth. It comes in 10 different flavors and costs less than $22.00 fur a case of 2.7 oz. cans. Me eats purretty well so mommy dusn’t worry so much ‘bout me but when sissy be eatin’ we don’t like to upset da kitty by changin’ fings up. But at da time sissy was eatin’ nuffin’ but tuna and you know how much mommy hates fur us to eat tuna, so she was weally hopin’ Lexi wuld not only like this new food but dat it wuld kick stawrt sissy into eatin’ udder purroteins again. Dat’s a purretty big burden to put on a little ole can of noms, but we was purrayin’ and believin’ it wuld work out.

 dw-4858

Da day came when our chewy box awwived. Me was ‘cited cuz we had a new box. We had wecently had an inspection and so mommy had to fwo out all our boxes. (‘cordin’ to da management, boxes be a fire hazard.) Anyways, mommy opened da box and pulled out da case of Catswell Nutrisca noms. Me had a good sniff and went off to play in da box while mommy had a mini foto shoot wiff da cans. Dinner time was still a ways off so mommy went online to see what she kuld find out ‘bout this new cat food and da company dat makes it. Turns out da pawent company called Dogswell is fairly new. They was founded in 2004 when they developed their furst purroduct, a dog tweat wiff glucosamine and chondroitin. Now they make food and tweats fur boff cats and dogs; da newest bein’ da Nutrisca Grain Free canned noms.

 dw-4860

Dinner time finally awwived and mommy gwabbed a can of these new noms and pulled da tab. Sis Lexi immediately stawrted meowin’ fwum her place at da table and me chimed in while rubbin’ mommys legs. As mommy duz wiff all our weview items she pulled out da flashy box and stawrted wiff da foto shoot. You know me dusn’t know why she has to do this when we be hungwy and waitin’ on her to fix our plates. Finally on da plate, mommy had divided da can ‘tween us; she set our noms in fwunt of us. Mmmmmmmm nom, nom, nom. This is good mommy, me meowed fwum meez plate. So me gives it 4 paws up. What ‘bout sissy you ask? Well let me tell ya’.

 dw-4859

Sissy didn’t bovver to look up or tell us whevver she liked it or not. She kept hers head down and just kept eatin’. When she finally finished hers half of da can, she looked up and meowed fur more. WooHoo!!!!! (Dezi jumps down briefly and does the happy dance) Dat wuld mean 4 paws up fwum sissy too. She licked da plate clean and asked fur seconds. We kuldn’t have asked fur more. So what did mommy fink ‘bout it? She’s fwilled sis Lexi liked it so well and continues to like it days later. She was also weally happy dat it looks just like chicken bits and shreds. Da furst 2 ingwedients be chicken bwoth and chicken, and you can fur sure tell by lookin’ at it. Anudder fing mommy likes is da lack of carrageenan in it. Mommy was a little disappointed dat there not be much infurmation ‘bout it and she kuldn’t find da DMA (dry matter analysis) anywhere. Since sis Lexi has CKD it’s weally purrtant dat mommy knows da DMA of any noms sissy eats. So mommy called da company and spoke to a weally nice lady dat sed da noms be so new they don’t yet have all da nummers available, but dat she wuld get back wiff us as soon as pawssible. So 2 fumms up fwum mommy too. Even tho’ she dusn’t know da nummers, their customer service was pawsum and easy to deal wiff. Dat means a lot these days. We know yous know what we mean.
