Hurry Raena, it’s Blest Sunday and we need to get our posty out. It’s your turn fur mommy watch.
I’s comin’, sissy. I’s been so worried ‘bout mommy. Let me get a good stretch here on this new Catit scratcher we got last month from Chewy. I’s wanna give mommy a nice relaxin’ massage. Maybe it’ll help.
Me’s sure mommy will ‘purreciate that Raena. She knows how much we’ve both been worried ‘bout her. Seems things went from bad to worse last week at mommy’s dental ‘pointment and she’s been cryin’ ever since. Me’s furs haven’t gotten this soaked in a while.
Yep sissy, I’s couldn’t believe that after everythin’ she’s been thru and everythin’ they’ve put her thru, they had the nerve to tell her she still owed money. And not just a few dollars either, but a whoppin’ $800.00. I’s should’a known somethin’ was up when I’s didn’t recognize anypawdy when we went back in February. I’s mean, we knew they went thru dentists like a hot knife thru butter; but the office staff had always remained constant. Well, till this year that is. And now they’re sayin’ that mommy paid fur a temporary lower denture but the purr-manent one was never included in the plan. Somethin’ ‘bout only billin’ fur services they’re purrvidin’ at the time. Mommy tried showin’ ‘em her paperwork that showed the purrmanent lower denture, and the paper that said she had a zero balance. But they said they don’t use those forms anymore and even tho it was listed, it was never included in the purrice. And, since the lady that told mommy it was, is no longer with the company, they can only go on what their new paperwork says. And, it says mommy owes them fur the purrmanent bottom denture. But hey, it’s cheaper than the partial she was gonna get. She kept callin’ mommy “my love”, as ifin that was gonna make it all better. Hisssssssss
Yeah Raena, me doesn’t know how they kept a straight face. Or how many more peeps have they done this too?. Ya’ know, they’ve got ya’. Ya’ can’t argue with peeps who don’t have a clue, and they know you’re gonna pay cuz ifin ya’ don’t, ya’ don’t get your teethies. (Dezi and Raena both shake their heads) It’s just so upsettin’. Mommy’s so tired of fightin’ and bein’ alone in all this. She just wants to give up on everythin’. Like, where’s she s’posed to get $800.00? Even ifin she gave ‘em her whole check it wouldn’t be enuff. ‘Course, mommy would never do that, cuz that would mean we wouldn’t get any noms fur the month and would purrobably be evicted fur not payin’ the rent. Me gets why mommy’s so upset, me just doesn’t get how these peeps can do this.
Well, I’s don’t like it sissy. I’s want mine’s happy mommy back. Ifin she’d just have let me at ‘em, I’s would’a gave that my luvs babblin’ lady the o’l whacky paw of correction and a bitey she’d never furget. Anyways, even in what seems like one of mommy’s darkest hours, she continued to say we are Blest. She held each of us and told us how much she luvs us and how Blest she is to have us. And, I’s did see a smile last night when you took your big o’l paw and wiped away her tears and stretched your head out fur a kiss. She says it’s so cute how you poke your mouth out and close your eyes like you’re actually kissin’ her.
That’s cuz me really is kissin’ her, silly. Me luvs mommy so much. Sometimes our duties are to just make mommy feel better.
I’s luvs luvvin’ on mommy, sissy.
Me too, Raena. No matter what else may be goin’ on, luv can conquer all. We are so blest to have a luvvin’ mommy, a furever home, food in our tummies and the bestest furiends in the universe. What a meowvelous life we have. We’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the Blessings in your life. Fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. And, ifin ya’ can spare a purrayer or two, we’d really ‘purreciate it.
One last thing sissy…let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. We’ve had lots of time to spend in mommy’s lap lately, so we’ve got purrlenty of lap selfies/plandids.
Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. A muggy wet RaenaBelle. I’s so tired of these storms!!! I’s wanna see the sunshine again. And go fur strolls. And…
Raena, we’re all tired of the storms and ready fur some warmer weather. But, you went and broke the stroller, so there ain’t gonna be any strolls till we can get a new one.
I’s thought mommy was just kitten, sissy. I’s sure didn’t mean to break our stroller.
Me’s sure mommy knows you didn’t do it on purr-puss. After all, me doesn’t think any kitty’s ever luvved strollin’ more than you. Me luvs strolls, but me thinks you could do it all day every day. Besides, we’re just big kitties who need things that can actually hold up unner our weight.
Oh sissy, I’s do luvs a good stroll and spendin’ time with mommy. I’s think mommy could use with a good stroll and some furesh air. She seems so stressed lately.
Well Raena, all this dental stuff is really gettin’ to her. She thought she was almost finished and then they pop up and tell her, “Oh, by the way, when are you gonna schedule your appointment to have those 2 teeth we talked you into keepin’ fur crowns?” Mommy only kept ‘em cuz they told her those teeth were good and didn’t need any work and would help anchor her bottom denture.
Yeah, she was purretty upset on Monday when she got that mews. She told ‘em that ifin she’d been told the teethies were bad in the furst place, she would’a never kept ‘em. So, now she’s gotta figger out how to get ‘em pulled and change that bottom denture from a partial to a full. Seems it just never stops.
So true, Raena. She’ll be addin’ another 4 months fur purropurr healin’ to all this. Mommy said she couldn’t believe that nopawdy ever said anythin’ befur. After all, this thing has been goin’ on fur over a year now. But, there was a ray of sunshine in our Monday. We usually save these blessings fur Sunday’s posty, but it helped to pick up mommy’s spirit so, we wanted to say a meowsy big Fank you to awnty Ellen today.
Oh sissy, when mommy opened the box we got from awnty Ellen on Monday evenin’ she let out a squee like I’s never heard. I’s didn’t get it till you told me how much mommy luvs willow trees. We don’t have any, but willows be one of mommy’s faves, ‘specially the Pussy Willow.
Of course mommy’s fave would be the Pussy Willow. After all, it’s named after us kitties. Y, Even the blooms are called Catkins.
I’s don’t think it was named after us kitties, sissy. It doesn’t look anythin’ like a cat. Anyways, when mommy opened the box she saw a big bunch of those wrappin’ bubbles. Mommy luvs pawppin’ those things. But that wasn’t even the good pawrt. When mommy opened those bubbles, she found a whole bunch of Pussy Willow cuttings inside. ‘Course she had a good cry and then called up awnty Ellen to say fanky fank ya’. Then mommy hit google to see ifin she could grow her one of those Pussy Willow trees from the cuttings. She found that they’re s’posed to root easily in water so she put several stems in a jar of water and saved the rest fur decoration.
‘Course, awnty Ellen didn’t furget ‘bout us either. She included a couple of her Made With Luv toys just fur us. Ya’ know what else mommy learned ‘bout the Pussy Willow? She learned that the blooms are one of the furst signalers of spring. Ya’ couldn’t have known awnty Ellen, but gettin’ that box when we did made mommy’s day.
It sure did, sissy. We also had another little blessin’. Our story has been featured on Fear Free Happy Homes. We better wrap it up, mommy’s got another ‘pointment with the dentist today fur a fittin’. Fanky fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. you’re always in our thoughts and purrayers. We’re also sendin’ some extra purrayers to Shoko, awnty Jean and uncle Bill from the Canadian Cats. Our sweet meezer furiend Kali had to go to heaven yesfurday. She will be missed dearly.
Sissy, what are you doin’? It’s Blest Sunday. You’re always meowin’ that it’s your day to take the lead. Are you gonna post or what?
Me’s comin’ Raena. Me was just getting’ in one last purractice with the cat dancer befur everypawdy gets here. Celebratin’ our Blogoversary month with Valentine and Erin is gonna be so much fun. Everypawdy can play a few games and work up an appetite and stop by Erin’s place fur some good eatin’.
And then, we can all dance the night away at Valentine’s, right sissy?
Yep Raena, me doesn’t know why we didn’t do this befur. We’ve been bloggin’ now fur 4 years and Erin and Valentine have been at it fur 3 years. Me, how the time flies when you’re havin’ fun. Me would like to purrsonally fank all of you who visit our bloggies and comment and become pawrt of our families. Each of us has a different style, but we all have fun. And, we purrobably have the most word count ‘round fur kitty blogs…just meowin’. MOL Guess one might say we’ve got a lot to meow ‘bout.
Oh sissy, are you tryin’ to be funny again? Ya’ know, we’re not x’actly what one would call a humor blog… So, you put up the cat dancer fur some fly fishin’, huh? Well, I’s thought everypawdy might like to try their paws at some track and field ball. And of course, who doesn’t luvs a good roll with the nip nanner or awnty Ellen’s great nip mats?.
Great job Raena. Ya’ know, our furiend CK has been hostin’ this little “Amazin’ Facts ‘Bout Me” hop. And me got to thinkin’, wouldn’t it be fun to make a game of it too?.

And, on Tuesday, we’ll post our answers and let ya’ know who got the most answers right. We might even have mommy make one of those cutesy badges fur ya’. And, me thought there might be a few questions ya’ll might be wonderin’ ‘bout us and just haven’t asked? Well, here’s your chance.

C’mon sissy, It’s mine’s turn in mommy’s lap.
Let’s not furget our selfies sissy. We’re linkin’ with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies too. What a pawsumly Blest Sunday this is.
Meweek, Mew, Mew, (Dezi dances around and runs back and forth from the kitchen to her meal mat in the living room) hurry with that brekky mommy, we’ve gotta write our Blest Sunday posty. It’s our 4th Blogoversary!!! And what better day to celebrate it than Blest Sunday. Don’t put too much gravy in Raena’s, you know she’ll throw it all up ifin ya’ do.
(Raena jumps down from the wheelchair and runs right into Dezi re-entering the kitchen) Sissy…
Hisssssssss…Watch where you’re goin’, Raena!!!
I’s not the one runnin’, sissy, you are. Maybe, you should watch where you’re goin’. I’s want the exact same brekky as you. The more gravy the better. (Raena rubs against the wheelchair and one of mommy’s legs) Meowwwwww Mommy, I’s want the same brekky as sissy. I’s a big girly now. I’s even got to go the the Cat Scouts Valentine’s day dance. By the way sissy, what’s a Blogoversary?
Taggin’ along to a dance doesn’t make you all grown up, Raena. Now leave mommy alone so she can fix our brekky. Haven’t you figgered out by now the more we bug her the longer it takes to get fed? (Dezi meows as she runs back to her food mat. Then she hears the coffee pot beep and runs back to the kitchen, where she watches mommy get her cup of coffee and head for the living room to set it down. Dezi follows mommy back to the kitchen where she picks up the breakfast plates and heads back to the living room. Dezi runs ahead excitedly) Meweeeeeek, Mew, Mew. Here mommy, here. Put me’s brekky right here. (Turns to Raena and meows) We’ve been bloggin’ since February of 2014, Raena. Mommy had just got her furst real catputer and knew nuffin’ ‘bout the world of bloggin’ or the innernet. We actually created a blog totally by accident. But, it’s been one of the greatest things that ever happened to us. We’ve met so many amazin’ furiends, both human and anipal. We can’t ‘magine what our lives would be like without all of you in it. We’ve come so far from our furst posty and our second, both on the same day to innerduce ouselves. We didn’t have a clue ‘bout what bloggin’ was or how to edit fotos, or even what to write ‘bout.
(Raena runs to her food mat in the living room and looks back for mommy.) MeOWwww I’s so hungry. Put mine’s plate right here mommy, hurry. (Mommy parks the wheelchair and sits in the sitting chair and opens a bag of chocolate chip mini muffins. Raena looks up from her plate and walks over to sniff the bag in mommy’s hand. She goes back to “cover” her plate and then jumps in mommy’s lap.) I’s want some of that mommy…Why? Why can’t I’s have a bite? A little chocolate can’t pawssibly hurt me. (Looking down at Dezi, Raena meows) Well look at us now sissy. I’s can’t ‘magine you ever had a hard time comin’ up with somethin’ to meow ‘bout.
Ya’ never know Raena. Chocolate isn’t good fur us kitties or doggies. Besides, we’ve got great food, you wouldn’t like those muffins anyways. But, it sure was nice of awnty Cindy and angel Maggie Meme to send it to mommy. She luvs those little muffins and brownie bites. (Thinks about what Raena just meowed) Me’s not sure ifin you’re givin’ me a compliment or bein’ mean Raena, but me’s gonna choose to believe you’re bein’ nice. Back then the blog was mostly me’s meows; sis Lexi had facebook and me had the blog. It’s really nuffin’ like it used to be. But, mommy says that’s a good thing. We have to evolve and learn or we’ll fade away into the lost bytes and bits of the innernets.
I’s sure don’t wanna fade away sissy. I’s very fanky fankful you’re willin’ to share your bloggy with me; and all your furiends who accepted me and luvved me when I’s came here. Happy Blogoversary sissy, I’s hope we have lots more. By the way, did you see those Hawaiin rolls? Mommy can’t get enuff of those things. They are purretty tasty. I’s got to try a little bite once. I’s don’t know what a croissant is, but mommy seemed really happy to see those too. Fanky fank ya’ fur sendin’ mommy a Valentine’s day treat. We are so Blest.

That we are Raena. Another blessin’ we got this week was help with mommy’s leg ouchie. Some of ya’ may ‘member that mommy fell right befur Christmas and hurt her leg purretty bad. It got to hurtin’ somethin’ fierce last week, so we asked ifin anypawdy had any suggestions on how to treat it. Mommy’s V E T had told her to keep puttin’ that triple antibiotic cream on it and keep it wrapped. But, it didn’t seem to be gettin’ any better. And cuz mommy had to use a few bandaid type bandages cuz she ran out of gauze pads, she had some new sores where the sticky had been. Mommy’s ‘lergic to bandage sticky, and we’re thinkin’ triple antibiotic cream. As always, our pawsum furiends purrayed and gave us some great ideas fur treatin’ her ouchie. Warning: Below are purrgressive fotos of mommy’s ouchie. Ifin ya’ have a weak tummy, scroll quick, there’s only 3 and we made them small.

After 3 days of Manuka honey
Sure ‘nuff, sissy. Somepawdy suggested she put Manuka honey on it. She just happened to have some of that cuz she had bought it fur your sis Lexi. I’s thought she looked kind’a crazy slatherin’ honey on her leg, but it really seemed to help, a lot. That honey took the heat and the soreness outta mommy’s ouchie really quick.
It even looks better too, Raena. And fanks to awnty Cindy fur sendin’ some green papers, mommy got some more gauze pads and is lookin’ into somethin’ called colloidal silver.
And the blessings don’t stop there, sissy. Mommy’s gonna be gettin’ her new fake teethies on Tuesday. We can’t hardly wait. I’s hopin’ we get to pick up some extra treats while we’re in Ardmore. Maybe I’s can meow mommy into gettin’ us some bacon or somethin’. What a week of blessings we’ve had. Good furiends, good food and lots of luvs…What more could a kitty girl ask fur.
And, A Blogoversary!!! Absolutely Nuffin’ Raena, we’ve got everythin’ we need. What Blest lives we have. We’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the Blessings in your life. And fank you all fur visitin’ us, commentin’ on our postys and mostly fur just bein’ the bestest extended furmily in the universe. We luv you all very much.
Don’t furget the Sunday Selfies, sissy. There’s been a lot of distractions and things mommy’s had to deal with these past couple of weeks, so we’re purretty behind in our visits to all our furiends. We’re really sorry we’ve not been by to see ya’, but we hope to get caught up soon. Purrlease bear with us, (Raena and Dezi look over at mommy) we purromise to visit soon. And here’s to elbenty billion more Blogoversaries.
