Meowllo everypawdy. Me told you da udder day we wuld share a story ‘bout mommy and da leaf blower, and so we ‘cided mommy’s first ever leaf blowin’ episode wuz purrawlly da bestest one to share wiff yous today. Now me will warn you tho’ Don’t take too big a sip of dat coffee or tea or coke, cuz yous just might end up blowin’ it all out yous nose on da puter scween. Yep, it’ dat funny. Me showed you all those leaves da udder day but not where they came fwum. See Weez hav these big ole oak twees out in fwunt of ow pawtment. There be 3 of ’em, and they stawt losin’ their leaves weally bad wight after halloween. And then they stawt pilin’ up on ow fwunt porch and walkway. Da wind can’t get under them and move them along cuz of da way owr house sits wiff it’s store room. And mommy can’t get out and sweep them all off anymore. So she got this idea to buy a leaf blower.
Everywhere she looked they cost a lot of munny. She finaly found one dat she kuld afford, and so she orderd it. Well it finally arrived and mommy wuz so excited. Now just so you know, da leaf blower is one of da fings dat me just hates bout da lawn crew. But they be gone fur da year, so me has all calmed down now. Anyway, mommy opened da box and took out hers new leaf blower, and stawted laffin. It wusn’t much bigger than a hair dwyer. But mommy wuz still excited and wanted tu know how well it wuld weally work. So she went outside tu giv it a twy. Let me tell you, It wuz a site.
Mommy had to get a heavy duty extenshun cord cuz da plug on it isn’t very long. She finaly got it plugged in, and she’s standin out on da porch lookin’ at it. She turned it over and wound and back upwight again cuz she kuldn’t figger out how to turn it on. Sis Lexi and me wuz in our window perch and we wuz boff watchin’ her wiff anticipation. MOL Mommy turned and looked in da window at us and sed, “I got it girls, get ready for the noise…..hopefully.” Now let me splain, me hates da lawn crew visits and all their noise. Mommy can make all da noise on da fwunt porch her wants to and me dusn’t care. Me can even sleep fwu it. Oh yeah, me almost furgot to tell you. Mommy has never dun any kind of actual lawn work. She just stawted learnin’ to garden a foo years ago, and da only lawn mowers mommy has ever seen is da tractor kind. (anudder story altho’ it’s bout mommy growin up and not us). So to say mommy dusn’t know how to use da leaf blower her just bought is puttin it mildly.
Here we go. Mommy’s got da leaf blower pointed toward da store room door. Da window where Lexi and me awe layin is wight by da store room so we hav a purrfect view of mommy and what’s goin’ on. Mommy pushes da ‘on’ button, and…… da leaf blower jumps. Up then down and mommy be scweamin’ and leaves and dirt are flyin everywhere and Lexi and me………well, we boff jumped wight off ow perch so fast yous head wulda spun.
Mommy finally got da ‘on’ button turned off, and now she be laffin uncontwolably. Me be standin’ at da fwunt door wiff me paws on it lookin’ out at mommy, and Lexi be standin’ behind me lookin’ up fwu da door at mommy. And what we saw wuz a site to behold. There wuz mommy laffin’ loud and hawd. We fawt she might hav been cwyin’ too, but ifin so they wuz brown tears runnin down hers face. Hers hair wuz all over da place. Weez never seen it look dat way, not even in da meownins. Mommy had leaves and dirt all over her. She didn’t even look like ow mommy. She looked at us standin at da door and sed, “Oh my catness girls, this is much more powerful then I thought it would be especially since it’s so small. Sorry I scared you girls, I will get better. I promise.” Mommy turned wound and turned da blower back on and well….needless to say she made a bigger mess than we had to begin wiff.
She finally had to come back in da house cuz it got dawk. But da purrsun dat came in wusn’t da same one dat went out dat’s fur sure. She smelled funny and looked funny. Specially wiff all those leaves in her hair. Leaves and dirt wuz stuck to mommys legs and awms and face. She sed, “I know it’s dinnertime girls but I’ve got to take a shower first. And I guess I’m gunna have to work on the leaves tomorrow.” Again, we fawt. Mommy’s gunna du this all over again tomowwo? Well she did, and didn’t do much better then eever. But after a foo more times, she did get a little better. Mommy’s just learned dat she needs to stawt early nuff to do ow porch and walk and da neighbors. Cuz dat’s where she ends up blowin’ most of ow leaves. MOL
Oh and sumpawdy sed sumfin’ ‘bout livin’ in pawtments and maint. men duin’ da leaves and such. And yous so wight. Least dat’s what mommy fawt too. And it’s always been dat way everywhere els she lived. But not here. Da idiots they hire here don’t do nuffin’, specially ifin they don’t hav too. Fur years da lawn crew didn’t do anyfin’ wiff da leaves. They sed it wusn’t in their contwact. Once da contwact wuz up, management put leaf cleanin’ in da new one. But they be gone fur da year, and so now it’s up to each wesident to take care of their own porch and walkway or get written up. Anyways, hope you enjoyed mommys adventure wiff da leaf blower. Me told you it wuz funny. We still fink dat little blower shulda came wiff a warnin’ label. MOL

Well it be Blest Sunday again, and ow favowit posty of da week. We posted ow very special Fank you post last week, and told you dat we got da steps fur sis lexi, but we didn’t hav a chance to weally show them off or tell you ‘bout them. So we wanted to take today to do dat. We told you dat they wuz made by hand special fur Lexi and ow bed. And all dat be twu. We picked a set of steps dat we liked and talked wiff Mr. Mike Duffe da owner and cwaftsman of Duff-N-Stuff Pet Steps ‘bout sum specifics. Hims has sum steps in da average measurements, but member weez hav a hospital bed and it be taller than most beds. And we be much bigger than da average household kitty.
Ifin yous can’t see da video, purrlease click here.
So mommy talked wiff Mr. Mike ‘bout da measurements we needed and dat we wanted dat cool back so we kuld use it fur storage. And mommy got da household cawpet cuz it be softer and will hold up much longer wiff us usin’ it as a scwatcher first fing in da meownin’. And mommy also picked out da stain hers wanted fwum a very lawge list. Notice we sed stain and not paint. Know why? Cuz they awe made of REAL wood. Yep da real fing. Not pawticle board or fake wood or plastic. They be steps dat will hold up under way mowe than nowmal kitty use. And cuz they be REAL wood, they can even hold mommy. What we be sayin’ is dat you can weally custom make yous steps. Now we fink Mr. Mike kuld purrawlly make purretty much anyfin’ yous might need, so why don’t yous check out his store wight here. There’s all kinds of goodies.
Ifin yous can’t see da video purrlease click here.
Now back to ow special steps. We kuld hav never got these steps ifin not fur all of you. So we wanna say a meowsy big Fank you again fur givin’ in da fundraiser. We luv these steps. Mommy wishes her kuld move in da meownin’ so hers kuld take da fotos and videos of us puttin’ ‘em fwu it. You know, down da steps to get da chair and then back up da steps to get mommy. And then a scwatch or two and down halfway to da chair and so on. Neever one of us has jumped on da bed since we got them set up. Why shuld we? Those steps awe just pawsum. If yous wecall they came in 2 diffewent boxes so dat meant mommy had to put them togevver fur us, and so we fawt we wuld let her tell you ‘bout dat. So take it away mommy.
Me luvs sissy’s new steps too.
Mommy: Thank you sweety. As Dezi said the steps did come in 2 separate boxes, and arrived a couple of days apart. There were no instructions but it was pretty self explanatory. There were 2 screws and 2 holes that matched up. Can’t get much simpler than that right?. MOL That’s what I thought. The first screw was pretty easy once I figured out how to prop the steps up, but the second was a bit harder to reach. I call them screws, but they didn’t actually have a head for a screwdriver, and not knowing much about tools I don’t know what the tool is called you should actually use. I finally used some large wire cutters because that’s all I have, and was able to tighten the screws in so that the steps are sturdy. I love them as much as the girls. And seeing the look of success on Lexi’s face when she gets on the bed by herself makes those steps priceless.
Fank you mommy. Weez sure do luv ‘em. As always we awe so extwemely blest. We hav each udder and all of you and these pawsum steps. We wuld like to ask you to continue to purray fur ow sweet furiend Nylablue and hers mommy Miss Sherri Ellen.
