Meow-llo Dear Amazin’ furiends. It’s Blest Sunday, so we had to paw in. Not only is it Blest Sunday, but it’s also Resurrection Sunday. That’s a very special day at our house.
Hey everypawdy, it’s me, RaenaBelle. You are never gonna believe what happened yesfurday. White stuffs came fallin’ from the sky!!! Sure ‘nuff, little balls of hard white stuffs were everywhere. They were too small to be dippin’ dots, and mommy said they weren’t edible anyways. Did you see ‘em sissy?
Yeah Raena, me saw ‘em. Fankfully, they didn’t stick ‘round or get any bigger. Those little balls weren’t snow. Not that we want snow, but ice is fur sure not somethin’ we want. It’s way too early fur that. Besides, did you hear mommy say we’re gonna have to move right after Christmas?
Move? She was only kitten, right?
Nope Raena, that fur sure wasn’t the face of a joke. And any time mommy starts talkin’ ‘bout needin’ to talk to lawyers and file complaints, it ain’t no laffin’ matter. Anyways, guess that’s why mommy said we weren’t decoratin’ fur Christmas this year. And with the car on the fritz with a busted gasket, we’re purrobably not gonna be able to go out light seein’.
Oh well sissy, that means more cuddle time with mommy. I’s so luvs cuddle time.
Me hopes so Raena, but you’ve never been ‘round durin’ a move. Trust me, it ain’t as fun as it sounds. It ain’t like packin’ an overnight bag and stayin’ in a hotel. It’s like wall the wall boxes and stuffs everywhere. Won’t be no slidin’ down the hall on piddle pads fur you.
Really sissy? Fur how long? Where are we goin’?
Who knows Raena, mommy’s lived in her car more than a couple of times in her life. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Anyways, It’s Christmas time and time to think ‘bout good things and fun. We’re gonna be postin’ our final and all inclusive Gift Guide Furiday. Me can’t hardly wait.
I’s so glad you don’t like this toy sissy.
Me neither sissy. I’s think we’ve picked out some really pawsum stuffs. We even sourced some great silvervine fur all those kitties with a more discernin’ palette. Sorry you didn’t really like the kitty nug that was pawrt of your birthday purresent. But I’s was glad you liked some of the things in the Pawrty Pack.
Fanks Raena. Me saw you enjoyin’ the nug, so you can have it. Mommy had thought we were gettin’ at least a couple of ‘em based on the description. Maybe we only got the one cuz we bought it with a steep discount. Anyways, just give me some of that silvervine and valerian root and me can be one happy kitty girl.
Valerian root? I’s never tried that sissy. Is it good?
Well Raena, ifin you’re nice to me today, I’s might ask mommy to share some with ya’.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw Fanky fanks sissy.
That’s really nice of ya’ sissy, fanky fanks.
Don’t even think ’bout it Raena…
Yeah, sure Raena. Just no jumpin’ on me. And get back, me doesn’t need any hugs right now.
But I’s luvs you sissy.
Yeah yeah, me luvs you too Raena. Now seriously, go away.
Okay sissy. Wanna play?
Till the next time………………………………………………………..Be Blest!!!
Hey everypawdy, it’s me RaenaBelle. Are ya’ll ready to pawrty?!! Well come on in and let’s celebrate. There’s food and fun fur everyone. I’s gotta tell ya’, you all look pawsitively gawjus in your masks. Sissy and I’s wanna fanky fank all of ya’ fur comin’ to celebrate with us. 9 years ago on November 1st, sis Dezi came into this world; and a couple of weeks later on the 22nd of November, she chose mommy to save her and be her furever mommy.
That’s true Raena. Me had no idea what me’s life was gonna be like that day; but me knew without any doubt that me belonged with mommy. Our life hasn’t always been easy or fun, but it’s the bestest life this kitty girl could have ever asked fur. Me got an amazin’ sissyfur in Lexi; and she innerduced me to this pawsum world of the innernet and all our furiends. Everypawdy come on in and make yourself at home.
Look’it sissy, I’s got an ice cream truck to come by so everypawdy could choose their favorite. You can even have seconds or thirds. (Raena giggles as she wipes a smidge of ice cream from her whiskers)
Looks like you’ve already had some ice cream Raena.

Well sissy, I’s had to try it out and make sure the ice cream man brought the good stuffs. I’s also hired a caterer to cook us up some tasty eats on the grill and bring veggie platters fur those who don’t eat meat. Don’t worry, ifin ya’ purrfur your meat raw, just let the grill master know. We don’t drink, so the catnip teas and nip juleps are the strongest drinks we have, but who needs alcohol to have fun…right?.

(As the guests mingle and enjoy games and tasty food, they suddenly hear Raena meowing from the stage) Hey sissy,I’s got a surprise fur ya’. Could I’s get everypawdy to join us in singing Happy Birthday to the bestest sissy ever. A one and a two and a three…
Happy Birthday and Gotchaday Dezi!!! We luvs you so much. And now, I’s would like to let mommy say a few words.
Thank you Raena dear. Happy birthday my sweet sweet Dezi darlin’. The day I met you and you chose me to love was one of the greatest days of my life. You’ve brought me joy and happiness and so much love. I pray and ask God each day to give you a long and happy life with me. I can’t ever imagine a day without you in it. I also want to thank all of our friends for their love and support and for loving my girls. We pray every day and ask God to bless you and meet your every need.

We have put family members together since several were sent to us that way and we wanted to be as fair as possible. One last thing, I’s would like to fanky fank The Crooner’s (Pipo, Brody, Dalton, Trouble) fur your purrticipation in our pawsum band.
Till the next time…………………………………………………..Be Blest!!!
MeOW RaenaBelle, Hurry Up, it’s Blest Sunday and, your birthday celelbration!!! Mommy said she knew you were meant to be with us when she found out your birthday was exactly one week befur sis Lexi’s.
Raena: I’s here sissy. I’s sure wish I’s could’a met your sis Lexi. Mommy luvs her so much.
We both do, Raena. But, we luv you very much too. We don’t always unnerstand why God does the things He does, but we have to believe it’s fur a good reason. After all, ifin sis Lexi hadn’t gone to heaven we would’a never had you in our family. And only the good Lord knows what would’a happened to ya’ then. What with your scrawnly little fluffy body and mucky eyes and nose, you didn’t stand a chance in that there cage you were livin’ in. It’s a wonder you could even see or smell. Mommy says she ‘members your furst night here with us. You’d never seen a toy or had room to run, and you were goin’ nuts. It’s like you didn’t know what to do furst.
Oh sissy, I’s barely ‘member any of that. I’s do ‘member the relief I’s felt when mommy said I’s was gonna live with her furever and ever tho’. That was the bestest day of mine’s life. Ifin I’s never celebrated another birthday it would be okay cuz mommy makes me feel special every day. I’s one Blest kitty girl fur sure.
Yep Raena, you got that right. Me just wishes every kitty in the world could know a little sliver of the happiness and security we do.
Fanky fank you Pipo and Dalton.
Me too sissy. Not only do we have a luvvin’ mommy and furever home, we’ve got the bestest furiends in the universe. I’s wanna fanky fank awnty Anonymous, awnty Vonda and awnty Susan fur mine’s birthday green papers. Mommy’s purromissed to take me shoppin’ to pick out somethin’ special fur me and fur you. After all, I’s luvs to share. I’s also luvs those fureeze dried kangaroo treats mommy got fur us. They sure were tasty. And, the weather’s warmed up enuff fur a stroll today. I’s can’t hardly wait. What a pawsum way to celebrate. Even tho’ mine’s birthday was technically last Caturday when it was rainin’ and fureezin’ cold out, this weekend’s much better. I’s think mommy’s way of celelbratin’ all month is just purrfect. I’s also wanted to fanky fank our furiends Valentine and awnty Kerry and Pipo and Dalton fur the pawsum birthday cards. I’s even got some of those great e-cards from awnty Vonda and awnty Jeanne and Purrseidon. Fanky fank you all so very much. And fanky fank you all fur celebratin’ mine’s 2nd birthday.
