Blest Sunday: We Honor And Salute You

Published on November 11, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.17 Comments

Dezi: MeOW C’mon Raena, today’s a very special Blest Sunday.

Raena: Really sissy? What’s so special ‘bout today?

Dezi: It’s Veteran’s Day, Raena. A day we take to ‘member the soldiers who fought, and many gave their lives so we could be free from tyranny. So many brave men, women and anipals gave their lives on distant shores, so that loved ones and even strangers like us could live our lives free from fear of wars in our own home. Me thinks we furget how things could be. We’ve been free fur so long that me thinks we sometimes take our Country’s greatness and freedoms fur granted.

Raena: I’s think you’re right sissy. It’s not purretty to think ‘bout young men, women and anipals lying in a trench on some foreign soil bleeding and dying. To think ‘bout them bein’ lonely and scared, and away from their families and loved ones; not knowin’ ifin they’ll ever see them again. To think ‘bout them swearin’ an oath to purrtect us…to die fur complete strangers. Soldiers who never gave a second thought to goin’ to bad places and facin’ bad people. Standing their ground and sayin’ “As long as I’m here, no one is going to hurt you”.

Dezi: So true Raena. There’s so much hate and discord in our Country right now. So many peeps sayin’ and doin’ things that would get them thrown into prison or killed in lesser Countries. Peeps tryin’ to take away the very freedoms that those soldiers bled and died for. The truth is, it’s a slap in the face, it’s like spittin’ on the graves of all those who bravely fought and lost their lives to secure those freedoms and make our Country great. It makes us so sad to hear ‘bout our vets bein’ treated badly.

Raena: I’s think all those soldiers who died to make America great are turnin’ over in their graves at some of the nonsense goin’ on right now, sissy. In our house, we bleed red white and blue. We honor our flag and each and every soldier who willingly defends/defended our Country and us from our enemies. We are so Blest to have been born in such an amazing Country. We are Blest to have a mommy who has taught us the price that was paid to make our Nation great.

Dezi: Yes Raena, we are indeed Blest. We fank and salute each and every veteran and their families today and every day. We fank each and every soldier who serves us now. You may not know us, and we may not know your name, but we ask God to Bless and keep you each day. While you’re watchin’ over us, God is watchin’ over you. As we do each week, we’d like to remind you all to Give Thanks fur the Blessings in your lives. and we wanna fank you all fur bein’ Blessings in ours.

Raena: And, as we do each week, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. Purrlease ‘member to fanky fank our vets fur their service. Because of them and their sacrifice, you can sleep safely in your bed at night.

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

Blest Sunday: Furever Blest

Published on May 20, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.16 Comments

MeOW (Dezi sits atop the liberty cat tree looking out the door) It’s time fur Blest Sunday, so Thunderstorms, ya’ll just stay away. This is me’s day to post and me doesn’t wanna have to yell over ya’.

Raena: Sissy? Who are you meowin’ too, I’s don’t see anypawdy outside?.

Don’t worry ‘bout it Raena, it’s time fur Blest Sunday and me was just meowin’ how Blest we are. Spring, or rather Summer has furinally showed up and nature’s all a-flutter. The pawrents of those last birdies in the nest over the alarm on our door have been hangin’ on our walkway rails all day every day keepin’ watch over their babies and runnin’ off any other birdies that might come by fur a look see.

Yeah sissy, they sure have been fun to watch. They take up their stations at each end of the rail till some unsuspectin’ birdy comes along and then they start chatterin’ and swarmin’ the intruder.

Yeah Raena, they’re quite the sight to see. Me thinks a couple of cardinals teamed up the other day to see what it was they were purrtectin’.

I’s saw that sissy. While the pawrents were chasin’ one cardinal off another came swoopin’ in fur a close-up. ‘Course that mommy bird must not have been too fooled cuz she came divin’ outta the sky and chased off the other cardinal. It made fur some purretty x’citin’ bird teevee…fur ‘bout ten minutes. I’s wanna know where all the squirrels have gone off too? And where’s our Coon furmily that comes up fur spam?

Well Raena, maybe the Coons figgered out we were broke. The last time they came up askin’ fur spam, mommy gave ‘em an old can of expired chicken chunks instead. Me doesn’t think they liked it nearly as much as they do that canned meat bi-product. And with all the rain and thunderstorms we’ve been havin’ it’s purrobably a little too wet fur ‘em. Mommy did see a bunny rabbit the other day. By the time she got the car door open and her new smeow-arty pants fone out and the camera app open, that bunny was long gone. Mommy even tried searchin’ fur him with the flashlight app on said fone; but, no bunny in sight.

That poor bunny must’ve thought mommy had one of those big woofies that chased him the other day.

Ya’ might be right Raena. Me would like to know where those woofies came from too? Me actually likes the big woofies much better than those heel nippers that run ‘round here without their humans, but our ‘pawrtments’ has a size and weight limit fur anipals and those woofies were fur sure too big. They might be the reason we haven’t had any squirrel teevee this year too?. They chase everythin’…even with their human attached to them by that leash. They just drag her right along with ‘em.

Yeah sissy, they may be funnier than squirrel teevee even. On another note, we need to say a meowsy big fanky fank ya’ to awnty Cindy. Mommy luvs the purrfume you sent fur her birthday. We luvs it too, don’t we sissy?

Yep Raena, and it’s gonna smell much better on mommy than it does on the carpet. Mommy just couldn’t wait 7 more days to open it. She jumped in the shower the minute she got it so she could put some on.

And then I’s nuzzled up next to mommy’s chest to smell her sissy. I’s do luvs it when mommy smells so good. It reminds me of the sweet smell of luvs I’s felt the day I’s met her fur the furst time.

Yeah Raena, me too. Anyways, this past week was full of Blessings fur all of us. Mommy saw her new dentist and really likes her. Mommy’s mouth is healin’ up nicely and she’ll be startin’ the purrocess to get her purrmanent dentures next month. We’re still waitin’ to hear from those nasty peeps at Aspen dental, but we’ve been purrayin’ that God will give us favor and make them return the green papers mommy gave them fur work they didn’t do; she needs it to pay the new place. Spring/Summer has arrived and brought warmer days and more Mr. Sunshine with her. That means we’ll be strollin’ befur long.

Ifin we can get rid of all the wets, sissy. We can’t go strollin’ in the rain and thunderstorms.

True Raena, but mommy says there’ll be purrlenty of dry days fur strollin’ soon. Anyways, mommy got that early birthday gift and reminded us how Blest we are to have such pawsumly amazin’ furiends. Fank you all fur sharin’ your lives with us. We luv you all very much. And as always, we’d like to remind you to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the Blessings in your life.

And don’t furget Sunday Selfies, sissy. We’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue like we do every week. We are furever Blest.

Furever Blest huh? Me likes that Raena. C’mon, let’s finish brekky and have a little nap befur the storms start up again.

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

Blest Sunday: Making the Best of Nature TV

Published on May 6, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.16 Comments

Dezi: MeOW C’mon Raena, it’s Blest Sunday. Get away from the door and let’s give fanks fur today’s Blessings.

Raena: But sissy, Spring teevee is a Blessing. Have you seen all the pawsum channels we have? There’s bird teevee up close and purrsonal with that mommy bird takin’ care of her younguns, and I’s even saw the neighbors’ chickens bug huntin’ in the garden the other day. And, of course ya’ can’t miss doofus teevee. They’re either attached to those teeny heel nippers or chasin’ ‘em to try and get ‘em to come back to their ‘pawrtment.

RaenaBelle Mayce, you better hope mommy doesn’t hear you meowin’ like that. Where did you even learn a word like doofus?

What? Isn’t that the right word fur dummies? I’s don’t ‘member ‘zactly where I’s heard it, but I’s sure that’s what it means.

You know mommy doesn’t like that word, even ifin it’s the right one. Mommy says that dumb actually means that somepawdy can’t speak, not that they’re a few marbles short and shouldn’t.

Maybe sissy, but I’s bet’ch’a mommy was usin’ all kinds of words the other day when she was tryin’ to take out the trash and all those little heel nippers kept growlin’, barkin’ and chargin’ her while their peeps stood at their doors hollerin’ fur ‘em to “get back here now dog!!!”. Not a one of those woofies paid any attention to their humans. And peeps call us kitties dumb. Hmmmpht Least we know our names.

Alright Raena, that’s enuff ‘bout the woofies. Besides, me much purrfurs squirrel teevee. Me’s not sure where they all went to tho’. That big oak tree in our yard used to be the busiest hub of squirrel activity ‘round these pawrts. Y, We even had a few that would come up on our porch and chatter at us through the window. And sometimes at night the coons would come up and ask mommy fur some spam. Me doesn’t ‘member seein’ any of our wild life furiends last year. Me sure hopes they didn’t move to somepawdy else’s tree. It can get kind’a boring ‘round here without ‘em.

You’re right sissy, I’s can only watch so much bird teevee. I’s sure hope mine’s bunny furiend comes back this year. Maybe mommy’ll even let me play with him/her this year.

Our mommy Raena? You know she’s a bit of a germaphobe when it comes to us rollin’ ‘round in the yard and dirt and stuffs those woofies leave behind. After all, those doofuses don’t clean up after themselves. Besides, me doesn’t think that bunny wanted to play with you. Me’s purretty sure it was scared you were gonna eat him/her. That’s why it hopped away when you got close to it.

Sissy?!!! Now you’ve gone and said it. MOL Anyways, it wasn’t hoppin’ away, it wanted to play chase with me.

Sure Raena, whatever you meow. (Dezi rolls her eyes and puts a paw to her head) Anyways, like me meowed earlier, it’s Blest Sunday. Another week has come and gone. Altho’ it started out stormin’ and yucky, today’s actually really nice out. The sun’s shinin’, the wind’s barely blowin’ and the temps are a nice medium of the high 70’s.

Hmmmpht Where’d your wings go necko?

That’s true sissy. And, you even spent most of those stormy days hangin’ with mommy and me on the cat tree. Well, you and me were on the cat tree, mommy doesn’t fit. So, she has to use her sittin’ chair fur hangin’ out. Ya’ know sissy, I’s know mommy’s busy tryin’ to get all our paperwork ready fur our lease recert, but do ya’ reckon she might make some time to take us fur a few strolls befur the weather gets stormy again? Or to play with us? Ya’ know I’s went shoppin’ online fur mine’s birthday prezzie the other day. You know how much we luvs those necko fly toys? I’s decided to get us another one to play with since we’d de-winged and de-legged our last one. Mommy says it’s a bit ridiculous what they charge fur those things, but we like ‘em, and I’s got birthday money, so she let me order it. Maybe someday we can get the Necko fishin’ rod that they’re designed to fit on. Wouldn’t that be fun?.

It sure would be Raena. Altho’ at $40.00 me’s thinkin’ mommy could buy an actual fishin’ rod fur less. ‘Course, what would me know, me’s never seen a real fishin’ rod. MOL Since we don’t eat fish, there’s not been much need fur one.

A real fishin’ rod? You mean human peeps like to play with the necko fly toys too, sissy?

No silly (Dezi shakes her head), a real fishin’ rod fur ketchin’ real fish. Never mind. Anyways, fanks fur gettin’ such a pawsum toy fur us to play with. You’re a purretty good sisfur. Me’s fankful you’re me’s sisfur. (Raena smiles really big and runs toward Dezi) Stop right there!!! Don’t let that go to your head, okay?.

Okay sissy. I’s fanky fankful fur you too. We are so Blest to have each other and mommy.

We are Raena. We’re also Blest to have the greatest furiends in the universe. We’re Blest to be able to watch bird teevee, squirrel teevee and all the rest of the wild critters outside. We’re Blest to have today and each day to luv and be luvved. 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. No matter what may be goin’ on ‘round you, you’re Blest to have this moment in time. It’s up to you to see the Blessings ‘stead of the bad.

That’s a good one sissy. I’s gonna make today pawsum. And, let’s not furget to link up with the Kitties blue fur Sunday Selfies.

You just did Raena. Let’s go see what’s on the nature channel outside.

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

Blest Sunday: Will Raena Get A BlogPaws Birthday Party

Published on April 8, 2018 by Service Cats U.S.26 Comments

Dezi: MeOW Raena, what are you doin’?

Raena: I’s lookin’ fur all the birdies and squirrels that were here the other day. What happened to all of ‘em, sissy? I’s thought maybe they came to wish me a happy birthday.

Well Raena, furst of all your birthday isn’t fur a couple more weeks. Secondly, it turned fureezin’ cold again. The weather guessers even said we might get some snow. Can you believe that? Snow!!! (Dezi shudders) Fankfully they were wrong.

Least so far sissy. Mommy says the colds are s’posed to be here fur a little longer. Seems Spring likes the snooze button as much as us cats. Anyways, meowin’ of mine’s birthday, are you gonna throw me a pawrty? Ya’ know, like with costumes and pawrty favors and all our furiends comin’ over fur a play date? Mommy says I’s gettin’ to be a big girl now, so I’s oughtta have a big girl pawrty, right?

Me thinks mommy may be refurrin’ to your ever x’pandin’ belly Raena, cuz you’re only gonna be 2 years old. In Ragdoll time, you’re still an annoyin’ kitten.

Sissy, are you bein’ mean to me? I’s gonna tell mommy you’re bein’ mean.

It’s not mean ifin it’s the truth, Raena. Anyways, your birthday just happens to fall on the weekend of BlogPaws. With so many of our furiends bein’ away that weekend, me thought we’d have a small celebration fur your birthday and really whoop it up fur your Gotchaday. Me’s even workin’ on a little surpurrise.

A surpurrise, sissy? Wha’cha’ plannin? Are we goin’ to BlogPaws? Will mine’s pawrty be there?

Ifin me told ya’, it wouldn’t be a surpurrise silly. (Dezi shakes her head and smiles deviously) As fur BlogPaws, mommy says she’s still workin’ on it. Chewy offurred to sponsor us fur some of our trip and awnty Cindy and angel Maggie Meme said they’d sponsor some of it, so mommy’s tryin’ to work it all out. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

But we’d go with mommy, right sissy? I’s mean, mommy wouldn’t actually go off and leave us, right?

‘Course we’d go, Raena. Don’t be silly. When has mommy ever left us behind? She tells us all the time how much she luvs us and how she would never ever leave us. We’re really Blest to have such a pawsum mommy.

We sure are sissy. I’s know that lots of peeps are talkin’ ‘bout this BlogPaws, but what is it ‘zactly? Is it fun?

Yeah Raena, it’s fun. It’s a confurrence fur all the anipal bloggers and micro-bloggers. It’s a chance to meet furiends in the fur to flesh, and inneract with peeps from all the brands we luv and some we’ve never heard of. To check out all the latest and greatest in cat toys, supplies and furniture. Oh, and to attend learnin’ sessions to make our bloggy better. That last pawrt is fur mommy. Like we need any lessons on how to run our own bloggy. Hmmmpht

That sure does sound like fun, sissy. What a way to spend mine’s birthday. I’s could meet all our furiends and maybe even go fur a stroll with ‘em. That would really be cool. Ya’ know, we’re always wantin’ to go strollin’ with our furiends, and now we really could. OMC We could show off our new stroller. We gotta get busy and trick it out.

One step at a time, grasshopper.

Grasshopper? Who are you meowin’ to, sissy? I’s no grasshopper. I’s don’t even know who grasshopper is?

Never mind, Raena. Let’s finish brekky and then we can meow ‘bout trickin’ our new Gen7 Jogger out. We are really Blest to have such pawsum oppurrtunities. Ya’ know, in all the years mommy worked, she never had a vacation. Our furst trip to BlogPaws was really the furst time mommy had ever done anythin’ like that. And now we have the chance to go again. What a blessing. 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.

Don’t furget sissy, we’re also linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. C’mon sissy, let’s make a list of all the things we wanna take.

You go ahead Raena, me’s gonna take a short nap furst.

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

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.
