Blest Sunday: The Internet Can Be A Blessing

Published on September 2, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.24 Comments

Dezi: MeOW C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday and we’ve been MIA since Wednesday. Me’s not sure ifin our furiends missed us or not, but we sure missed them.

Raena: Yeah sissy, I’s guess we’re gonna have to start tellin’ peeps that we can’t post on mommy’s doctor days. Since the whole lease fiasco when the manager harassed mommy’s doctor’s office, she just gets so stressed out, she can’t help us do anythin’.

Dezi: It’s not just that Raena, the doctor keeps messin’ with mommy’s medicines and blamin’ some imaginary rules. Anyways, we’ll just have to figger somethin’ out so we don’t just disappear. Maybe mommy can try to schedule our posty to publish without us bein’ here.

Raena: That’s a good idea sissy. But, the last time she scheduled a posty to post without us, it totally disappeared into cyberspace. I’s don’t think she’s ever found that posty. Sometimes the innernet’s not so smart.

Dezi: Well Raena, mommy says the innernet’s only as smart as the humans who purr-ogram it.

Raena: Well sissy, ifin that’s the case, ya’ reckon mommy lost our posty and not the innernet?

Luv ya' Dezi — Luv ya’, Dezi (one of the furst fotos we ever posted on me’s bloggy.)

Dezi: Me’s not sure Raena, but me ain’t gonna be the one askin’. Anyways, we’re gettin’ off track here. Smart or not, the innernet’s been a big Blessin’ fur us. Cuz of the catputer and the innernets we’ve made loads of amazin’ furiends. Who would’a thought 5 years ago when we got our very furst catputer, we’d be where we are today?. You weren’t ‘round then, but me ‘members mommy was so cautious and ‘fraid that everypawdy was somepawdy other than who they said they were, and that everypawdy was out to give her a virus or somethin’, that she wouldn’t hardly spend any time on it. She fur sure never visited any fun sites.

Raena: Oh sissy, and the camera ya’ll had. (Raena shakes her head) The other day I’s saw some of the fotos and videos ya’ll posted back then. Those were pawful. Mommy fur sure ain’t no purrfessional when it comes to the foto takin’, but at least she’s learned a few things thru the years. And, the camera got better.

Dezi: That’s true Raena. ‘Course, mommy had cats and rats (cataracts) back then, so she had no idea how blurry and grainy our fotos were…the whole world was blurry to her. MOL

Raena: MOL (Both Dezi and Raena burst out laughing) Yeah sissy, now she just blames it on old eyes. But ya’ know what? I’s don’t care how old mommy’s eyes are, I’s luvs her and am so Blest to have her as mine’s mommy.

Dezi: Me too Raena. We also got some goody Blessings this week we need to say fank you fur. We sure do ‘purreciate all of our furiends. and we wanna fank awnty Susan fur the green papers and her furiendship.

Fanky fank you awnty Cindy. I’s luvs me some cheese.

Raena: We sure do sissy. And we wanna meow fanky fank you to awnty Cindy fur sendin’ us some goodies and new boxes to play in. You know how much we kitties luvs our boxes. I’s had a great paper bag I’s was playin’ with till mommy threw it out. She said it was all squished and wouldn’t stay open any more. Fur some reason she thought that meant it wasn’t fun. (Shakes head and looks over at the trash can) Sometimes mommies just don’t get it.

Dezi: Well Raena, you did put that paper sack thru it. Me’s sure mommy will get you another one ifin ya’ liked it that much. Mommy always says ifin we’re happy then she’s happy. Me’s purretty sure we even have a box with a couple of those paper sacks ‘round here somewhere. ‘Member the time mommy thought she was gettin’ a really cool toy fur us fur the cheap, and it turned out to be a box of paper sacks? All ya’ gotta do is find that box. MOL

Raena: Really sissy? I’s gonna go look fur it now.

Dezi: You do that Raena. Me’s gonna wrap this up. The truth is, there purr-obably are lots of peeps who aren’t who they say they are and want to take advantage of others. But, fur us, the innernet’s been a huge Blessing and opened up a world with a lot of amazin’ anipals and peeps that we would have never known without it. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life. And fank you all fur bein’ a Blessing in ours.

Raena: Don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.

Dezi: You’ve always gotta have the last meow, don’ch’a Raena?

Till the next time……………………………………………..Be Blest!!!

Blest Sunday: Sweating Like A Pig In A Smoker

Published on August 26, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.25 Comments

Dezi: MeOW C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday. Me wants to count our Blessings.

At least this plastic’s a little cool.

Raena: How can you even think in this heat, sissy? I’s just wanna find a cool place to lay and stretch out fur a good nap.

Dezi: Purrlease Raena, It’s been hotter than this befur. We live in the South, and heat’s just a pawrt of it.

Raena: Yeah sissy, but not in the house. The house is s’posed to be cool. Isn’t that what the air conditioner’s fur? Even mommy’s sweatin’. I’s heard her say last night that we were way past the glistenin’ of a Southern lady and well on our way to sweatin’ like pigs in a smoker.

Dezi: Me heard her Raena. Me even got me’s fur soaked when me sat in her lap fur a little lap luvvin’. She said the air conditioner wasn’t workin’ purr-opurrly. Me saw her turn it down several times. And me heard her yellin’ at it to work. She said it ain’t s’posed to be 80 degrees in here when the thremostat is set on 74°. She even tried the o’l human trick of hittin’ it. Hmmmpht Humans think that hittin’ electronics will somehow make ‘em work. Me’s never quite unnerstood that concept, but lots of humans do it.

Raena: MOL I’s seen it too sissy. So, are you meowin’ that it doesn’t actually work? Cuz you know, when I’s can’t get our ‘lectric toys to work, all I’s have to do is whacky paw ‘em a few times and they suddenly start workin’.

Dezi: There’s a big difference in you furinally whacky pawin’ the power button and humans slappin’ at the sides of a machine Raena. Anyways, least we have fans. Did you know that peeps used to think sweatin’ was a way to lose weight and get skinny? Sure ‘nuff, peeps used to pay good money fur stuffs to wrap themselves up in that would make ‘em sweat. Hmmmpht We didn’t have to pay anythin’ fur this. See? You can find a Blessing in everythin’, ya’ just have to look.

Raena: You’re right sissy. Altho’ I’s don’t think that losin’ weight pawrt works…mommy hasn’t lost anythin’. I’s mean, I’s didn’t put her on a scale or nuffin’, but…

Dezi: Of course me is Raena, me’s always right. Me’s older and wiser and…

Raena: You’re old alright sissy. I’s not so sure ‘bout that wiser thing, but ifin that’s what you wanna tell yourself…

Dezi: RaenaBelle Mayce, that’s not very nice.

Raena: Sorry sissy. Do you want a hug?

Me’s gettin’ purrlenty of luvvin’ from mommy.

Dezi: No Raena, stay back. Your ‘pawlogy’s enuff. By the way, do you see anythin’ innerestin’ outside?

Raena: Nope sissy, not a thing. I’s haven’t even seen any birds. I’s did see one of those annoyin’ gnats in your brekky a while ago tho’. Ifin you don’t want the gnats to steal it, you better go claim it.

Dezi: What ‘bout yours Raena? Ifin they’re tryin’ to steal me’s brekky, then they’re purrobaly in yours too.

Raena: Nah sissy, I’s finished mine’s a few minutes ago and I’s even had a few bites of yours. (Raena snickers a bit as she licks her paw and wipes her face) Guess I’s was purretty hungry this meownin’. Meowin’ of, we’re purretty Blest to have such tasty noms. And a mommy who only wants the bestest fur us.

Dezi: That we are Raena, that we are. And, a few of our facebook furiends got together and donated some green papers so mommy could have gas money to get back to the dentist fur some adjustments on her dentures. We sure do ‘purreciate everyone that helped. Meowin’ of furiends, we have the bestest furiends in the universe.

Raena: Oh sissy, I’s luvs our furiends so much. I’s wish we could all have a big get together and meet up fur to fur to flesh. Wouldn’t that be just wonderful?

Me’s ready fur more luvvin’ mommy.

Dezi: It would Raena. But fur now, we’ll just have to settle fur readin’ their stories and seein’ their fotos. As we do each week, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. And we wanna fank each of you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Raena: And don’t furget to check out all the Sunday Selfies over at the Kitties Blue. I’s gonna go back to mine’s purrch now and see ifin anything’s goin’ on outside.

Dezi: Me’s gonna go get some more lap luvvin’ Raena. Enjoy the purrch.

Till the next time………………………………………………..Be Blest!!!

Blest Sunday: The Selfie Fiasco

Published on August 19, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.39 Comments

MeOW (Dezi lays on the scratcher cleaning her face after having a few bites of breakfast, when she hears a low rumble off in the distance…) Hisssssssssss Hurry Raena, we’ve gotta write our Blest Sunday posty befur the storms start up again. (Dezi looks up at mommy A sitting in the chair beside the scratcher and begins to meow) Mommy, me’s so tired of the storms. Me didn’t even get to take selfies with you and Raena.

Well whose fault is that sissy? Mommy called you like, elebenty billion times. You’re the one who chose to stay UTB (under the bed) ‘stead of comin’ out fur the foto shoot. ‘Course, I’s’ll tell ya’, you didn’t miss much. Mommy couldn’t figger out how to make the smarty pants fone camera turn ‘round; and shootin’ selfies with the regular camera was like shootin’ in the dark. And, mommy made me sit and stare into the air the whole time she messed with ‘em. She got great fotos of mine’s paws and her neck. And a few of our tummies, and the tippy tops of our heads. I’s tellin’ ya’, we’d have blooper fotos fur a year outta that one foto shoot.

Really Raena? Well, guess it’s good that mommy doesn’t claim to be a seasoned or purrfessional fotographer. Otherwise, it would really be embarrassin’. Sometimes, me thinks we could take better fotos even tho’ we don’t have any thumbs.

You’re purrobably right sissy. We did furinally get a couple of usable fotos. Fanky fank heavens. Mommy’s been so x’cited ‘bout havin’ her new teethies, and we know everypawdy wants to see ‘em, so she wasn’t ‘bout to stop till we got at least one foto. Mommy was so touched by everypawdy who said she was purretty even without makeup.

Yeah Raena, but they’ve never seen her. Ya’ know, it’s kind’a like the old barn on the farm. It’s full of memories and luv but not much to look at. But, you throw a couple coats of fresh paint on ‘er and she’s not an eyesore anymore.

Sissy?!! Are you callin’ mommy an eyesore? I’s gonna tell.

Go ahead blabber mouth. Me wasn’t callin’ mommy an eyesore. Me was just sayin’, some old barns look better with a few coats of paint. You know, mommy’s got scars and discolorations and no eyebrows. You know how self conscious she is. She gets all decked out fur her drivers license foto fur kittens sake.

That’s true sissy, she sure does. Anyways, I’s think the new teethies look purretty good. It’s fur sure nice to see mommy smilin’ again. She’s gonna need some adjustments, but ‘pawrently, that’s purrfectly normal. And as soon as we get the green papers fur more gas, mommy’ll call and make a ‘pointment. Mommy says she’s so very fanky fankful fur all the luv and suppurrt from our furiends durin’ this long purrocess. We are so very Blest to have the greatest furiends in the universe.

We are Raena. That’s why we fank God fur them every day and ask Him to Bless them and meet all their needs.

I’s luvs purrayer time sissy. I’s luvs countin’ all our Blessings. (Seeing Dezi pawing through the toy basket, Raena meows…) Sissy, what are you doin’? There’s a nip nanner right here, and a nip heart and fishy and our made with luvs by awnty Ellen, silvervine toast over there.

(Looking up and over her shoulder from the toy basket) Me knows Raena, but those aren’t the toys me wants to play with right now. Me’s sure there’s somethin’ really fun in the toy basket, me just has to dig out some of these toys on top.

But sissy, mommy just picked up all those toys and put ‘em away. I’s don’t think she’s gonna be too happy ‘bout you scatterin’ ‘em all over the floor again.

She won’t care Raena. Mommy’s always sayin’ how much she luvs to see us playin’. (Dezi pulls the top layer of toys out of the toy basket and then looks around) We sure are Blest to have so many toys. Me thinks me’d rather play with the nip heart after all. As we do every week, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life. Fank you fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Hey sissy, don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. After all I’s had to put up with to get a usable foto of mommy’s new teethies, we’re fur sure postin’ ‘em. Truth be told, I’s totally enjoyed bein’ held by mommy. Ain’t ‘nuffin better than mommy luvvin’.

Till the next time…………………………………………..Be Blest!!!

Chatting Cats: I’ll Eat When I Want To

Published on August 15, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.23 Comments

Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle, comin’ to ya’ from mine’s perch at the door. Yep, I’s spend a lot of time lookin’ out the door each day. Some days there’s more to see than others, but I’s do like lookin’ out. Today started out with the manager inneruptin’ our brekky fur an inspection. To be fair, we weren’t actually eatin’ yet, mommy was still makin’ it. I’s think that’s actually worse, cuz it meant our brekky was delayed by like a bazillion minutes.

A bazillion minutes, huh Raena? Me’s not sure we had to wait that long.

Really sissy? That’s not what you were meowin’ earlier.

(Mommy A yells from across the room) RaenaBelle, Come eat your breakfast!!!

Whatever Raena. Me doesn’t unnerstand what difference it makes to you anyways. It’s not like you’re gonna sit down and eat when mommy gives us our plates. You’ve gotta go see what’s goin’ on outside and get luvvin’ from mommy a bazillion times t’ween bites. You’d take all day to eat your brekky ifin mommy wasn’t constantly hollerin’ at ya’ to come and eat. And you wonder why me tries to steal your noms. Hmmmpht You can’t be too hungry ifin ya’ keep tryin’ to cover it up and walkin’ away. You know we can’t affurd to waste our noms. Do you know how many millions of kitties out there go hungry every day? They’d give anythin’ to be where you are. Me’s sure none of them would walk off and leave a full plate of food to try to see the neighbor’s barkin’ woofy.

(Mommy A yells from across the room for the hundredth time)

RaenaBelle Mayce, come eat your brekky, now!!!

Purrrrrrrr-lease sissy, I’s eat. Just cuz I’s don’t bury mine’s face in the plate the minute mommy puts it down doesn’t mean I’s don’t want it. And yes, I’s know I’s Blest and that millions of kitties go hungry every day. I’s purray so hard fur all of them. I’s wish no kitty ever had to know hunger or live outside without a mommy like ours. But buryin’ mine’s face in mine’s plate ain’t gonna change that. On another note, did you see mommy’s new teethies? She’s furinally got ‘em. I’s can’t hardly believe it.

Me knows Raena. They look purretty good too. So, did mommy tell ya’ what’s next?

Yeah sissy, mommy’s s’posed to wear ‘em a bit and then call to make ‘pointments fur adjustments as needed. ‘Pawrently there can be sharp edges and stuffs that ya’ can’t actually see or feel till you start doin’ normal things with ‘em. Mommy did say that she’d take fotos to show everypawdy fur Blest Sunday. Ya’ know, she hasn’t been wearin’ makeup to her ‘pointments cuz they get goo and yucky powder all over her face when they make adjustments. And you know mommy doesn’t like her foto taken without her “face” on.

Yeah Raena, me knows. Anyways, you wanna go play? You know we got those new crinkle balls yesfurday. Me likes crinkle balls. Me likes our nip nanner better, but hey, me’s up fur a game of whap the crinkle ball.

I’s in sissy, let’s go. I’s can finish brekky later.

Do/does you/your cat eat an entire meal at one sitting?

Till the next time…………………………………………………….Be Blest!!!

Service Cats U.S.

I Audra, am the human behind Service Cats U.S. aka DezizWorld. I am disabled and use cats as service animals instead of dogs. They are just as capable and can perform duties other animals cannot. We started our online journey to bring awareness to the ability of cats and to help others understand the relationship between a service animal and their handler/person. We offer training tips and tricks that I have learned through the years along with other information on all things feline. We began this journey in 2014 with Lexi and Dezi. They have since gone on to heaven, but our journey continues. This blog is about our daily life from the kitty's point of view. I want this blog to be interactive and get to know all of you, so comment and visit often. I will also offer advice, training tips and education when possible.
