It’s a Scary Funny, Laugh

Well here it is Wednesday and weez just now gettin’ anudder blog posty out.  Wiff all dat’s been goin’ on lately me guesses me shuld giv mommy a bweak and be glad hers helps me get a posty out a foo times a week huh?.  After all, how many peeps and kittys out there can say they’ve had their house flooded 3 times in one munff?  Huh?  How many?  Betcha not many.  So here we awe wiff still wet cawpet and stuff and boxes and furniture evewywhere but where it’s posed to be.  At least da owner of da movin’ and storin’ company came yesfurday so hims kuld giv da management company a cost to pack and store ow fings while they paint and lay da floors.  Dat’s sumfin’ isn’t it?  Mommy’s ‘bout to go cwazy and maybe even a little postal.   Da management company’s posed to put us up in a motel while they do all this work.

Anyways we told you we had a funny to tell yous.  Now we know sum of yous might not find it so funny, but member weez twyin’ to find fings to laff at so weez not cwyin’ constantly.  And mind yous nopawdy wuz in any actual danger at any time.  Well ‘cept maybe mommy.  But hers is purretty clever hers selff and she sez she wusn’t in danger eevew.  So here goes.  Mommy has a case manager dat comes to “visit” once a munff.  And so mommy got to lookin’ at hers bwoke chair and fawt she might be able to rig it so it wuld work fur hers to sit in stead of da floor. (or makin’ da case manager sit on da wet floor)  Dat’s meez mommy fur yous, always finkin’ ‘bout what sumpawdy might fink of hers.  So mommy played wound a bit and finally got da chair sittin’ up off da floor.  Hers sat down and heard da rotted wood cweak, but fawt ifin hers wuz gentle it wuld hold.  So case manager got here and meez rolled wound da wet fllor showin’ off and mommy sat evew so gently in hers chair and da case manager sat on mommys piano bench.  She’s one of those petite little girlys.  Well they filled out all da papers and mommy answered all da questions and case manager left.

  Mommy wus enjoyin’ not havin’ to sit on da wet floor so much hers continued to gently sit in da rotted and broken chair.  Meez had gone to da back to take a little nap after showin’ off, and woke up fwum a “bad” dweam and found meselff alone.  Natuwally meez ran full speed ahead wound da maze dat is our house and leapt right up in mommys lap.  Of course mommy heard me comin’ so hers had put hers awms out to catch me.  this be sumfin’ me duz a lot so mommy’s gotten weally good at catchin’ me.  Well me knows me has told yous all offen dat me be a vewy big girl.  And well…….dat 30 extwa pounds at high speed dat wuz me wuz a little too much fur mommys bwoken rotted chair.  Cus no sooner than mommy had caugght me and leaned forward to make suwe ifin anyfin’ happened me wuld be okay, da chair went……CRASH!!!   And meez not talkin’ ‘bout no little cwash.  Dat chair plopped wight stwaight down and da rotted wood bwoke and came wight up fwu da rotted matewial on da awm of da chair.  Meez takes off runnin’ down da hall afur weez even hit da floor, and mommy stawted wavin’ hers awms da way she duz, and hollewin’, “Danger, Danger, Dezi, Lexi!! Stay Back!!”  Stay back?  Yeah like we wuz goin’ anywhere near dat in da first place.  It sounded like a sonic boom or sumfin’.  (no fotos, as yous might magine mommy wuz mowe concerned wiff our safety and her own)

But meez not fink mommy’s gunna be able to purrop dat fing up again.  Oh well, me sez good widdence to bad rubbish.  Da chair got so wet it smells anyways.  Yous wuld fink she wuld twy to haul it off.  Well anyways, mommy wuz flailin’ hers awms evewywhere and yellin’ and Lexi and me wuz boff standin’ in da bedroom door lookin’ down da hall.  When mommy wealized we wusn’t comin’ anywhere near da chair, hers face told da whole story.  You kuld tell she wanted to cwy, but instead, hers just busted out laffin’.    Yep, da rollin’ in da floor giv yous selff a belly ache kinda laffin’.  Dat’s meez mommy.  She sez ifin yous can’t laff at yous selff then evewypawdy els is gunna be laffin’ at yous.  And also dat life be too short to take evewyfin’ so serious. 

Mommy’s gotten purretty used to da floor this past week as we can’t get da wheel chair wound da house cuz of all da boxes and misplaced furniture.  But dat’s a whole nudder stowwy fur anudder time.

  Me did get to go on da cat scout quest, and only missed pawts of a foo fings.  But me wuz able to catch up purretty quick when we got back there.  Let me tell yous sumfin’.  Dat Den Master be sneaky clever and made this quest kinda hawd.  But meez so purroud to be a pawt of such a wunnewful gwoup of cats and their hoomans.  Altho’ we awe a competitive bunch a cats/hoomans we all member da weason we awe there is to hav fun.  Me wuz da flag bearer, assistant scwibe and ssistant cheer leader.   Meez gotta tell yous, dat Spitty and Austin came up wiff sum gweat cheers.   Since me nor mommy has evew been an official cheer leader, weez did sum basic Go Warriors Go kinds cheers.

Belle of the Bayou

Meowllo evewpawdy meez back!!!  What a gweat time we all had on ow latest cat scout twip to da bayou.  It wuz non stop fun fwum da word go.  First handsum Andy flew down to meet me so me wuldn’t hav to fly alone.  Isn’t hims just da sweetest?    When we arrived all da scouts got tugedder fur a foto of course and then it wuz on to da Riverboat.  OMC Dat wuz amazin’.  Da view wuz spectacular and da boat wuz so cool. Ow accommodations wuz 5 star all da way.  And that night we had a costume dinner pawty.  All da ladycats dwessed up like belles or saloon hall girls and da boys like gents or gamblers.  After da dinner we went dancin’ and Andy played a tune on his sax.  Hims be quite talented.  🙂  What a gweat day.    

Da nex day we went further into da swamps and stayed in what looked like a cweepy run down shack, but wuz weally a vewy nice lodge.  Sum of da scouts decided to sleep in tents and take their chances wiff da cwocs. But dat wuz after a night of gweat food and ghost stories and a scary movie.   So of course meez stayed in da lodge as did Andy.  We had sum coffee and a nice quiet visit in me room afur callin’ it a night and hims weturnin’ tu hims room.  (meez not dat kinda kitty girl)

Blest Sunday and Writer’s Tour

Meowllo to yous all.  As you know me is in da bayou wiff da Cat Scouts dis weekend havin’ a pawsum time.  Which might be a good fing as mommy and me hav gone wound and wound ’bout who shuld write fur da writer’s tour.  Ow wunnewful furiends fwum Kitty Cat Chronicles invited us to pawticipate.  As yous know this is meez blog but of course me can’t type so mommy always helps me and finks hers shuld write da posty.  Bein’ da good girly me is me decided mommy wuz wight and hers shuld write it, so here’s me mommy.      

We have enjoyed reading all the posts on the writer’s tour and hope we’ve learned a few things from each of you.  Now there are a few rules here, the first is mention and link to the blog that invited you, check.  Two is answer 3 questions, I’ll get to that in a minute.  And 3, invite three other bloggers to write and link to them.  So I’ll start with the questions, and I’m going to answer them a bit out of order and explain why.  In order to answer question 1 and 3 I think I should first answer question 2.                  

2.  Why do I write what I do?  

The girls are my world, and being disabled they allow me to continue to live independently through their training as Service cats.  Due to the ADA making changes to the definition of Service Animal and therefore leaving every species and service animal off accept seeing eye dogs and search and rescue dogs, we decided to write and educate as many as we could reach about the wonderful abilities of other animals.  I get asked a lot why write in “CAT SPEAK”?  I guess the best way to answer that is that I wanted the girls to have a voice and tell the stories through their eyes.  I also wanted readers to feel like they knew and understood the girls personalities which I think comes across better by using cat speak.  We also want to have a bit of fun so we don’t just limit our writing to Service stories as our life is pretty monotonous and you would quit reading after awhile.  MOL  

               

1.  What am I working on?  

Wow, what a question.  Well we’re getting caught up now, so we’ll be back to our regular schedule with some new stories and goodies.  We’re in the process of making some changes to our story format on the blog to include more with Lexi.  And at some point in the future as we expand, we may include some fictional stories just for fun.  We’re still very new to blogging so we’re kind of just trying a few things and trying to find what works best for us.  You know if all the blogs were the same their would be no reason to follow more than one.  There are a few things since joining the blogosphere that we have joined and really enjoy doing.  The Pet Parade, Bacons’ Shopping around the world and occasionally Athenas Caturday Art are a few of the things we have joined and will continue to do.  We try to always make a Blest Sunday post just to remind us all that no matter what’s going on the fact that we have each other makes us truly blest.   We are also going to be writing a regular column for The Daily Mews, a monthly web newsletter.  And I’ve been asked many times if I had thought about writing a book, so……we’re starting one.  The hope is that we will be successful (meaning I figure it all out and get it written) and you all and many others will buy and enjoy it.      

         

3.  How does my writing process work?  

Well I’m not sure I have a process worth writing about.  I watch the girls and write down ideas as they come to me.  We write about events that happen in our daily lives and things that have happened.  We try to stick with truths that way I don’t have to remember tales or lies.  MOL   I try to always let the reader know up front if we’re going to be telling any fiction.  I am a control freak and very organized and at one point had our posts written in advance, but things happened and now we are here every night trying to get our post out so we can get into bed before 3 a.m.. MOL  And although I have notes of things to write about usually I can’t find or think of them when I sit down to write so I’m scrambling at the last minute and asking the girls to do something funny, cute or endearing so I can write about it.    So I’m not sure I have a process, I just write because I enjoy it and love sharing my girls.  I’m not the type to sit down and read a fictional book (I’m the crazy person who reads dictionaries, phone books, etc.), but every day I look forward to reading all of your blogs and seeing the photos of your fur babies.  

           

Now for the three blogs we invited to continue the tour.  The first is: Timmy and his dad Pete from the Tomcat Commentary.  Timmys blog was the first one we ever followed and is the reason we have a blog today.  Timmy is not the only cat in the household.  They write a lot of fun blog posts and each cat gets a turn at blogging.  They are adorable and if you’re not already following them, you should go by and check them out.

         

The next blogger I invited is: Sushi from Sushi’s Diary.  We met Sushi at Cat Scouts and think she and her mom are just amazing.  They live in the Philippines.  Sushi (a Himalayan) also goes by Sassy Sushi, so that ought to tell you a little about her personality.  Please go by and tell them hello.

     

And we aslo invited the Canadian Cats Shoko, Kali and their mom Jean.  Shoko is another friend we met at Cat Scouts. They are both adorable Siamese cats that keep their mom on her toes.  Please go by and say hello to them.  

         

And that would wrap up our post on the Writer’s Tour.  It might have been a better post if Dezi had written it. MOL  I spend so much time on the computer as Lexi or Dezi that I sometimes catch myself writing and speaking cat to other humans.  So without further ado I will turn the blog back over to Dezi.            

Here's me and Andy at da bayou lodge where where we all stayed  last night. Sum of da scouts camped in tents, but Andy and me stayed in da lodge. (seperate tooms of course.) Meez not dat kinda ladycat.
