Blest Sunday

Meowllo evewypawdy, and a blest Sunday to ya’. Kittens, it seems like we just did this. Time is just flyin’ by. Mommy’s been a little unnew da wedder wiff da cawfin, and nose blowin’, da extwa pain fwum da cold and now a pawful migwaine. It wuz so bad dat mommy wuz talkin’ (moanin’) in hers sleep and even woke up to sis Lexi givin’ hers a head massage. Or fur those dat doubt weez know what weez duin’ as Service Cats, maybe we just wanted mommy to get up. MOL (we know nun of ow wegular weaders fall into this categowy, but we hav weceived a foo emails lately dat doubt cats can be twained) Purrawlly spammers, but just in case.

It’s sunny and bwight out today and it’s posed to be in da 70’s. So aside fwum hangin’ on da new cat twee, mommy purromised we kuld go fur a stwoll. And hers got a list to giv to mr. W. Cuz just as we wuz gunna get ow dinner last night, there wuz mr. W bangin’ on da door cuz Buddy had gotten out again. Hims always duz this at dinner time. We knew dat wuz da purrawllem afur mommy opened da door cuz mr. W wuz yellin’ it fwu da closed door. So mommy opened da door and there wuz mr. W sittin’ there in fwunt of da door wiff a flashlight and Buddy not 6 feet behind him unnew da big ole oak twee in fwunt of ow pawtment stawin’ at mommy. She sez she kulda swore hims had a Cheshire gwin goin’. So mommy yelled at hims to get hims hineybo home and he took off towards hims pawtment. Whew, at least weez not hav to postpone dinner fur mommy to go out chasin’ him fwu da woods.

Yous can’t see da twee here but you

can see sum of it’s shadow.

Mommy sez mr. W’s just gunna hav to step it up and purrvide sum fings fur Buddy. See a kupple years ago hims bought Buddy a cat twee. Well he put it in da bedwoom way away fwum da window and never saw Buddy use it. After a mumff, he gave da twee to hims housekeeper sayin’ Buddy wuldn’t use it and didn’t like it. Hmmph Weez seen Buddy climb da oak twees when mommy’s twyin’ to get him to go back home. Mommy also gave mr. W sum gwass seeds to gwo fur Buddy as hims eats purrlenty when he gets out, and purrawlly has a upset tummy most of da time cuz hims eats dat yucky dollaw genewal bwand food. Mr. W kuld afford better noms fur Buddy, he just dusn’t wanna spend da munny.

Anyways, back to da gwass. Mr. W sed hims planted da gwass and Buddy dug it all up. Mommy told him dat ifin hims had put enuff seeds in there da gwass wulda been too dense fur Buddy to stwew dirt evewy where. Well hims never planted anymore gwass. And Buddy’s scwatchers get all used up purretty fast, cuz mr. W won’t spend more than a kupple dollaws fur da little corrugated cawd board piece, and only one a year. OMC Will dat man evew lissen to mommy?. Mommy told him it wuz fine to buy dat type cuz fankfully Buddy likes ‘em, but he shuld buy sevewal fur difffewent places in da house and weplace them more offen. Like when Buddy quits usin’ ‘em and stawts usin’ da furniture. So mommy has a list of fings mr. W needs to do fur Buddy to keep him fwum wunnin’ out da door evewytime it’s opened. So migwaine or not, mommy purromissed we kuld go stwollin’.

Ifin you can’t see da video, click here to watch it on youtube. And by da way, ignore mommy’s babblin’. (babble=to utter meaningless confusion of words)

We awe so blest to hav a mommy dat unnewstands us kitties and even tho’ hers can’t afford a lot of fings, hers has always taken good care of us. And we hav such pawsum furiends dat hav given us sum wunnewful toys and twees and tweats and yous luv. We feel like weez be da blestest kitties in da universe. And mommy sez we awe. Mommy also sez we be luvved by her and all ow furiends and fwamily. And we luv you all very much. We know yous all awe twuly blest too. You know, mommy kuld leave da door wide open and we wuld never go out fur any walk ‘bout on ow own, wuld you? Meez weady to go fur meez stwoll wiff mommy now, so ketch ya’ later.

Fur those of ya’ dat be indoor only kitties, duz yous hoomans hav twubble keepin’ yous all in da house?

Till da nex time……………….Be Blest!!!

Busy Blest Sunday

Meowllo and a very Blest Sunday to yous all. Hope yous all enjoyed hearin’ ‘bout Lexi’s day wiff mommy. Me will tell ya’ she hasn’t stopped meowin’ ‘bout it. Since she’s gotten older she dusn’t always enjoy goin’ places wiff mommy anymore. You know all da peeps and da noises and da long days. But even tho’ hers had to go to da Vet da same day, she weally did enjoy hers day out wiff mommy. Noise and peeps and all. Altho’ she did complain ‘bout not getting’ da tweats everywhere she went like me duz. Well dat’s cuz they went to udder places than where me gets tweats. Altho’ mommy did buy sum tweats so she didn’t do wiffout, and we got bacon too. Don’t nopawdy worry ‘bout dat now. Mommy makes sure dat one of us dusn’t get sum kinda goody dat da udder dusn’t. She’s weally good like dat. And OMC Weez always furget to put da linky up fur da Pet Parade hosted by ow pawsum furiends Rascal and Rocco. Yous guys awe so amazin’. Yous never get mad at us or yell at us or nuffin’. Fank Catness mommy has yous linky in ow sidebaw, but we join every week, so paw on over and check out all da udder pawsum pets there, and da featured blog. It’s always a gweat one.

Anyways, even tho’ weez not zactly got good news fwum da Vet, we awe still blest. Sis Lexi’s condition is in da very early stages. And mommy has learned how to give hers da medicine so dat it dusn’t upset hers tummy and make hers fwo up hers meals. And Lexi’s eatin’ again. Da only fing more we kuld ask is dat God heal Lexi. And we know dat may sound like weez bein’ gweedy, but when it comes to Lexi and me, mommy sez there’s nuffin’ she wuldn’t do fur us. So ifin she has to be gweedy…so be it.

Now yous might be wunnewin’ why weez got a busy day today. Well let me tell ya’. Member da lectwical outlet and livin’ room light dat went out da udder day? Well, da lectwicians awe comin’ Monday to fix da wirin’. And well da outlet dat’s been affected is in da dinin’ room and da light/fan is in da livin’ room. NO! They’re not suppose to be tied togedder in any way, but they awe. Da maintenance man came down Fursday to twy to mess everyfin’ up even worse, and mommy wefused to let hims do da work. See all work purrfurmed here like dat is posed to be dun by a licensed purrfessional. And da maintenance man is weally diswespectful to everypawdy, not just us. Dat bein’ sed, weez gotta move sum stuffs wound so dat da lectwician can get to everyfin’ to get it fixed.

And then on Wednesday weez havin’ company. Now yous might be sayin’ to yous selff, company; so what?. Why awe you busy cuz of company? And fur dat matter what do weez care dat yous havin’ company? Well, we don’t hav company very offen, but this isn’t just anypawdy. It’s one of ow pawsum Facebook awnties. And she’s bwingin’ us a purresent. She even mentioned she might take mommy out to lunch while she wuz here. Don’t worry weez awe gunna take fotos. And mommy sez dat Lexi and me might even get pawt of da day off cuz she will be wiff anudder purrsun. Mommy dusn’t get to go out very offen, but when it duz happen she likes to let us hav sum time to do whatever we wanna. Altho’ a purrsun might not be able to alert to mommy dat hers gunna pass out, they can keep an eye on her ifin she duz, and take hers to a hospital ifin she’s be gushin’ blood. Now mind you, weez not mind workin’ at all. But mommy sez dat we work hawd and we deserve to play hawd. And dat since we live wiff hers and she’s almost always home then weez always on “duty”. and she sez dat everypawdy/kitty/doggy deserves a little time off every now and then.

So da busy is house cleanin’. Tween mommy bein’ sick and Lexi’s issues since Fanksgivin’, mommy has kind of let fings go a bit and so she wants to stwaighten up and get da house fixed up a bit. And since it usually takes a lot out of her and she passes out quite a foo times whn she duz it and it takes a day or 2 to wecuppuerrate, then she wants to do it now so she’ll be okay and weady to visit on Wednesday. We haven’t gotten completely caught up, but wnuff so dat mommy can take a day off to work wound da house. So weez might not get to visit today, but weez’ll see ya’ soon. And again, weez wanna fank yous all fur bein’ ow furiends and supportin’ us and luvvin’ us. We awe so twuly blest to hav you all in ow lives. And we wanna fank Timmy, hims daddy Mr. Pete and hims furmily fur puttin’ sum gween papers in ow PayPal account fur sis Lexi’s care.

And member back when we wuz havin’ all da pawtment purrawlems and ow sweet furiend Nellie and hers mommy Miss Barbie gave us a amazon gift cawd and told mommy to buy sumfin’ fwivolous wiff it? Well hers finally ‘cided on what she wuld get and it went on sale, and it’s here. Mommy bought a 2 TB external hawd dwive so she can store all da fotos and stuffs she wants wiffout havin’ to worry ‘bout cwashin’ da puter or slowin’ it down by takin’ up all it’s memowy. So weez sure do fank you again fur da gift cawd as we learned weal quick weez not wanna be wiffout a puter ever again. Herz still likes da fumm dwive stuffs cuz dat’s faw more purrtable but this be a pawsum way fur mommy to snap da flashy box even more and not hav to worry. Weez hope yous all hav a pawsum weekend, and stay warm (or cool Fozziemum).

And till da nex time………….Be Blest!!!

An Educational Blest Sunday

Meowllo everypawdy, and a Blest Sunday to ya’. Me will stawt by sayin’ mommy is feelin’ better. Lexi and me took turns givin’ hers head massages last night. Picture it, all 3 of us on one standawd size pillow. Lexi and me kinda hang off of it a bit, but there’s purrlenty of mattwess fur ow back ends. Anyways hopefully we will get caught up soon wiff all ow visits. Now, me wanted to share anudder of meez educational posties wiff you today. You might be wunnewin’ what it has to do wiff a Blest Sunday. Well me will tell you. Mommy cares enuff to get me and sis Lexi spayed. And dat helps purrtect us against sum of da pawful diseases un-altered animals awe at risk fur, such as Pyometra. Member dat email me told you bout dat caused meez last educational posty? Well this wuz in it too, and unfurtunately weez lost furiends to this disease, so me wanted to help spwead da word today ‘bout purrventin’ it.

Pyometra is an infection of the uterus that can be deadly to us kitties and you doggies. It occurs most offen in kitties and udder anipals as they get older and stay unaltered. It usually occurs shortly after a heat cycle where too much progesterone or a sensitivity to progesterone happens. Cysts form in the uterus and bacteria enters thru the cervix and causes the white blood cells and additional fluid to flood in to the rescue. This causes a swelling. And as the disease continues to fester and grow it moves along from the uterus to the vagina where the excess fluid (pus) spills out. In an attempt to self clean we kitties begin to “clean” lick. Eventually the cervix will close off trapping the excess fluids in the uterus. Our bodies continue to send these fluids and white blood cells to the uterus which causes it to become even more enlarged and can possibly rupture spilling out all those toxins into our body. If this happens, death usually occurs within 48 hours.

Symptoms of this horrific disease include a pussy discharge from the vulva. The abdomen may appear enlarged, and the cat may vomit, not eat, and/or become lethargic. Dogs may also drink excessively and urinate large amounts. Blood work will show a high white blood cell count and possibly slight anemia. Since this disease can become fatal quickly it is important that it be diagnosed and treated immediately.

The treatment for this is a complete spay. Which itself can be a challenge. The surgeon must be careful not to puncture the inflamed and enlarged uterus to avoid spilling all those toxins into the abdomen which would have fatal consequences. The best way to prevent this disease from happening in the first place is to spay your cat or dog around the age of 6 months. At this age the animal is old enough to withstand surgery and still young enough to have not had their first heat which can also cause problems we’ll cover in future posts. There are other options for treating this disease if you’re a reputable breeder and just have to keep your queen, and you can read more about that here. But really, less breeding would lead to more adopting.

Even in this day and age when we know so much more ‘bout da diseases dat occur in anipals, there awe those hoo still wanna make excuses fur not spaying or neutering. The one mommy hates da most is, “I want my children to see the joy of birth.” Purrlease…rent a video, watch da animal planet or da discovery channel, or one of da many udder purrogwams dat feature such “joys”. Cuz you awe da irresponsible ones dat also help fill da shelters wiff unwanted animals. Just because you fink you hav homes fur all those babies born, what ‘bout da homes yous givin’ ‘em too? So member, spay and neuter yous pets and adopt. We awe so fankfull to hav so many pawsum furiends hoo put their pets healff ahead of spweadin’ da gawjusness too. We fank you and know yous anipals fank you too.

Mommy had to wait to get sis Lexi spayed till hers wuz almost 8 mumffs old cuz hers wuz too small and needed to gain weight. But in those 15 years, many advancements hav been made and alterations can be safely purrfurmed as long as da animal weighs 2 pounds or more. Yes, yous cat/dog is gawjus and wuld make bootyful babies. But, there’s purrlenty of bootyful babies alweady in da world needin’ homes. We hate it when we lose furiends to sumfin’ dat kulda been purrvented. And we awe twuly blest to hav a mommy dat believes ow healff is more impurrtant than spweadin’ wound ow good looks and sweet genes.
