And she’s been playin’ a little which has always made mommy happy. She sez we work hawrd and deserve to play hawrd. Mommy always smiles when we play. She gets da leaky eyes when we play togevver. Sumfin’ ‘bout bootyful sisfurly luv. Da one fing dat makes mommy sad is dat sissy has been not sleepin’ wiff us. She comes to bed fur purrayers and to massage mommy off to sleep but then she goes and sleeps unnew da kitchen table. She always comes back to help get mommy up in da meownin’s but mommy has twubble sleepin’ wiffout boff of us. So me has been weally cuddlin’ up to mommy so she won’t miss sissy so much. Mommy sez dat sissy be weadyin’ us fur “da day.” And NO, we can’t say it or even fink ‘bout it. Altho’, mommy has been lookin’ a little longer at da kitties needin’ homes lately, me finks she’s just twyin’ to wish ‘em a gweat home like we have.
But dat duz bwing me to our huge blessin’ this week. And dat is dat weez all here togevver still luvvin’ each udder. And dat we have all of you who luv and support us and who we luv very much. And even tho’ da days awe getting’ shorter and lookin’ gloomier it’s still warm outside. Winter will be here soon enuff bwingin’ wiff it fureezin’ temps and yucky gway skies. We worry so much ‘bout da ferals duwin’ da winter time and awe so fankful to see so many of you makin’ such pawsum accommodations fur them outside yous homes.

We all live in da lap of luxury and awe blest to have these lives. So as you go ‘bout yous day, stop fur a minute and member to say fank you fur da many blessings in yous life.
It’s time fur anuvver Blest Sunday posty. And let me tell ya’ weez fur sure had a blest week. As ya’ know sis Lexi had been on da down side of ups and downs and had quit eatin’ again. Well purrayers and medicine turned dat wound and she headed back fur da up side. She wasn’t eatin’ as much as mommy wulda liked, but at least she was eatin’. She’s been finishin’ off tween 10 and 12 ounces a day. Weez’ll be even happier when she be eatin’ at least 16 ounces a day. (yes, weez big kitties) And you all know how much mommy likes hers coffee. She sez she needs it. Sumfin’ ‘bout a caffeine addiction. All me knows is dat ifin she dusn’t get it she gets weally shaky and cwabby. And this past week she ran out. Yep, sure nuff. She was climbin’ da walls and pullin’ hers hair out. It’s a site to see fur sure.
So there we was trwyin’ to visit all our furiends and da big UPS twuck dwove into da complex. We didn’t pay him much tention cuz we hadn’t ordered anyfin’ and wasn’t spectin’ nuffin’. When all of da sudden there was a knock on da door. Well it’s still purretty hot here and we be on sum plan wiff da lectwic company where they chawrge us more purr klw duwin’ da day and then da cheap at night and weekends so mommy sits wound a lot in nuffin’ more than a big long shirt and hers unmentionables. Anyways, me jumped outta hers lap and headed fur da door wuff mommy wight behind me. She opened da door and sed, “Hello hon, we weren’t expectin’ ya’.” Our UPS man handed mommy a box and da chatted a minute ‘bout da wevver and left. Mommy opened da box and inside was a case of Tiki Cat chicken and duck noms. OMC Weez luv those noms. Mommy gwabbed da camewa and stawrted takin’ fotos. Sis Lexi weally luvs ‘em and was more than happy to pose wiff ‘em. She fawt she was gunna get a can wight then. She didn’t, mommy made hers wait fur dinner, but she posed anyways.
Mommy had just sat down to post a fank you on Facebook and there was anuvver knock on da door. Mommy went to da door and there stood da UPS man again. Hims pawlogized and sed hims furgot a box and handed mommy anuvver box. Mommy kuldn’t magine what it kuld be, but she opened it up and stawrted cwyin’. Inside dat box was a case of da Folger’s canned coffee fur hers to dwink. She was so cited she made a cup wight then. Sumhow we fink weez got shortchanged. Mommy got to enjoy hers box wight away and we had to wait till dinner. MOL Dat’s okay, mommy weally needed dat coffee. Awnty Jennifer and gwand awnty Peggy, yous awe da bestest. Fank yous so very much. Yous made our week and beyond.
Check out what our awnty Sylvie made me.
And as always we awe so blest to have each and everyone of you in our lives. We weally purreciate all yous luv and support and purrayers and weez sendin’ ‘em wight back to ya’. We hope yous stay tuned this mumff as we have sum pawsum fings comin’ up. Weez have a gweat give away comin’ yous way and more fun and stowries.
Lookit, awnty Sylvie made me one too.
So we was wunnewin, ifin yous hooman goes wiffout their fix of choice (coffee, tea, soda, etc) how do they act? Do they get as cwazy as mommy?
Yep dat’s zactly what mommy sed to me when we began to wead da comments fwum Fursday’s posty and our emails. And what better day to put a pawsitive light on a negative than Blest Sunday. Cuz yous know we be blest. So weez told you Fursday dat we was gunna be takin’ sum cweative licenses wiff our Izzy and Tristy flat scout twavel posties. And dat it was gunna be fun. We also added dat it wuld be a challenge cuz mommy has a blood clot on hers bwain dat affects hers cweativity and short term memorwy. Thus story tellin’ (ie: lyin’) isn’t sumfin’ mommy duz very well. Me must tell ya’ dat mommy never did like lyin’ and lyers so dat pawrt of da injury dusn’t weally bovver her. Da pawrt of da short term memorwy fing dat duz bovver her is da furgettin’ fings and peeps and names and such. So mommy lives by a calendar. She puts everyfin’ she needs to do in not 1 but several calendars and sets up weminders fur da weally purrtant stuffs. Da puter has been a pawsum help wiff these fings. As fur da cweativity, mommy wrote fings like songs and poetry and short stowries all based in fact. She sez it dusn’t take a lot of cweativity to write facts. Least dat be hers ‘pinion. So da clot never weally bovvered her in dat wespect. ifin our Flat Fursday adventures wemind you of a book yous read or movie yous seen it’ll be cuz mommy and me will draw fwum those speriences as well as sum of mommys own to write ‘bout Izzy and Tristy’s adventures. Mommy has led a very adventurwous life back afur hers accident. Who is she twyin’ to kid…it’s been purretty ‘citin’ since da accident too. And as you can see fwum our fotos today, mommy’s been playin’ in da foto apps again. MOL Hope yous enjoy seein’ them.
It’s not all good tho’, it duz come wiff it’s own issues. Da blood clot be da main weason mommy has constant migwaines. Migwaines be pawrtly a blood flow issue and when da blood can’t flow fureely it causes purroblems. So da clot on mommys bwain duz affect her health and pain levels. But mommy sez da bestest medicine is a purrin’ kitty massagin’ yous head. But mommy sez da blood clot be da least of hers concerns cuz da pain in da rest of hers body, da sciatica and da neuropaffy causes hers more aches and affects hers daily life in ways da clot dusn’t.
Dusn’t sissy look good in gold? Luv ya’ Lexi
Fur those of you dat asked, No, there weally isn’t any tweatment. Yes they kuld do surgerwy and twy to dissolve or wemove it, but there’s a huge chance she won’t ever wake up again. And since it’s affects awe manageable she dusn’t weally fink ‘bout it much. By manageable we mean calendars, notes, schedules, purrin’, massagin’ kitties, and migwaine medicine. The good news is dat it hasn’t moved or grown in all these years so it’s purretty stable. There is always a pawssibility dat it kuld bweak loose. Ifin dat was to happen…mommy wuld dwop dead instantly. Now mommy’s fur sure in no hurry to die or leave us, but she duz say dat she’s weady to meet hers Maker ifin and when da time comes. After all it wuld be immediate, and pain furee. Dat’s sumfin’ to be fankful fur. Now weez in no way mean this to be a sad and somber posty. As you know we don’t live dwellin’ on these fings. We just ‘cided it wuld be easier to tell everypawdy at once stead of twyin’ to write it a bunch of times to tell yous individually. And lots of you dat asked awe on blogger and don’t know when weez weply to yous comment anyways.
We give fanks everyday dat we have anudder day togevver. And we feel extwemely blest to be here and to have met all of you. Seems this past year has flown by so fast and it’ll be over afur yous know it. But what a blessin’ this year has been. We’ve met in purrson so many more of our wunnewful innewnet furmily and it’s been furbulous!!! We do hope to be able to attend BlogPaws this next year so we can meet and weconnect wiff all of you. Only time will tell, and weez purrayin’ it happens fur sure. Weez also sendin’ out purrayers to all our furiends, and extwas fur those in need. Member to take a minute today and everyday to count yous many blessings and give fanks dat you have anuvver day to enjoy this wunnewful life yous been given. May da Lord save and keep you and always have yous back.
