Will You Join?

Meowllo everpawdy, happy Furiday!!! Da weekend is here. Do yous hav plans? It’s warmed up a bit fur us and da sunpuddles awe out and weez enjoyin’ every minute of it. Mommy sez she has da mudder of all migwaines but she’s still gunna twy to take Lexi and me fur a stwoll this weekend. See she has these migwaines all da time, but sumtimes they build up and get weally bad, and she’s been fightin’ this one all week and hopin’ it wuldn’t bawge on da scene, but it did. It hit full furce yesfurday. Anyways, we wusn’t gunna post today cuz of it, but when checkin’ ow emails we came acwoss sumfin’ dat we fawt needed to be shared. Now lots of you purrawlly got da same email, after all weez all animal luvvers and purrawlly get a lot of da same mails. But just in case yous didn’t and fur those dat don’t get emails fwum da ASPCA we ‘cided to post.

As you know we got into social media cuz da ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act-Department) changed da definition of a Service Animal and we wanted to bwing light and educate peeps dat dogs awen’t da only Service Animals out there. And while da ADA has yet to follow any of ow accounts or change da definition back, we hav succeeded in educatin’ lots of peeps. So we do see dat as a win. Altho’ there awe many injustices wiff wegards to anipals dat go on everyday much worse than ow plight. Laws need to be changed and stiffer penalties fur those dat abuse, neglect, and abandon anipals. Da study of Psychology sez dat murderers offen stawt out when they’re childwen by abusin’ animals. And even as purrgwessive as we awe today and as faw as weez come as a society, animals awe still seen as fwo away purr-opurrty. (not by everpawdy, but by a lot).

There awe still aweas of this world dat hav dog fights, cock fights, indiscwiminate bweedin’, and so much more. How do we change this? What can we do ‘bout it? We all fink weez just one voice wiff no power. But when we band togedder weez lot of voices and weez be roarin’ loud and purroud fur da welfare of animals everywhere. Alone we might not make a diffewence, but togedder we can’t be stopped. Da ASPCA has put togedder a list of fings you can do fwu social media to help change da wongs dun to animals. First, follow da lawmakers in yous awea on their social media pages, they’ve all got ’em. And when yous hav a cause dat needs addwessin’, post it to their Facebook page, tweet it to them, email them. And get udders to do da same. They sure don’t mind buggin’ you when they want elected or munny. While they might not be checkin’ their pages themselves, in this day and age, there is sumpawdy on their staff moniterin’ it. And enuff voices can cause a change.

We Want You

Meowllo everypawdy, it’s almost da weekend again. And dat means sum good news fur us. (paws cwossed) It’s posed to be in da low 50’s. Dat ain’t what we call warm…but at least it’s above fureezin’. Well anyways, on to today’s posty which be ‘bout bein’ da change fur da anipals of da world, or at least yous awea of it. You know there be so much yous can do to make a diffewence in da lives of da animals in da shelters. You can donate munny, items fwum their wish list. Twust me all shelters hav a wish list. They’re always in  need of food and litter and blankeys, and all kinds of udder supplies. But what ifin yous like us and don’t hav no munny to giv or fings to donate? Dat’s okay too. Yous can giv of yous selff and yous time. Fink ‘bout volunteerin’. Again, shelters awe always in need. Cages need to be cleaned and anipals need to be fed and socialized. You know what? Ifin you live sumwwhere dat dusn’t allow you to hav pets (we can’t magine why), volunteerin’ kuld just be yous answer. You kuld go and play wiff da anipals and luv on them and giv them tweats and all just like they belong to you. And hopefully all yous helpin’ ‘em out will get them furever homes even quicker. Fur sure it’d make their stay a little bwighter.

And then there’s always da stway and ferals. Ifin you hav any in yous neighborhood you can make sure they be altered so there’s no more unwanted litters. You know TNR. And of course they always need food and shelter. And we just posted sum weally cheap ways to make a shelter out of a cawdboard box. And you can get those fur da furee fwum local gwocers ifin yous not hav any hangin’ wound. And purrlease member, they be skeered not mean, so they kuld also use a luvvin’ and carin’ voice.

As fur us, now dat last year is behind us and we fur sure awe hopin’ all da bads be over, mommy plans to go back to hers volunteer work. Altho’ headin’ off duwin’ this cold snap isn’t weally hers idea of havin’ fun. We hope da wedder clears up soon. We hope you enjoy ow cutesy cover fotos, and lets all band togedder to make this year da best year fur change. It’s fur da anipals.

Where Am I?

Meowllo everypawdy hope yous havin’ a blest day. Sumfin’ happened last night dat goes wight along wiff what me wanted to post ‘bout today. Well at least sum of it. Meez posted a similar posty afur but me has new furiends now and we fink this be a topic dat kuld be shared everyday and it wuldn’t be enuff. So as wiff meez purrtant educational postys da rest of this post will be in hooman so there be no misunnewstandin’ what meez sayin’.

 0dw Dezi on cat tree

Last night right at dinner time there was a knock on our door. Our neighbor, mr. W. said that Buddy was loose and needed mommy to help get him back in the house. A new physical therapist had been at mr. W’s house and when he left Buddy darted out after a rabbit he had been watchin’ through the window. And before he knew it he had followed te rabbit out into the woods behind our complex. Now he found himself alone and lost. Yes, mommy put on her Eskimo garb and went out to help get him back home. It was already dark so mommy stood at the edge of the woods and hollered for him. She finally heard him rustlin’ the leaves and headed toward her voice. See Buddy’s been a little skeered lately cause mr. W’s been very sick, and even spent some time in the hospital. Buddy’s 5 years old and has been with mr. W since he was about 6 months old. He doesn’t really know any other life. So if something was to happen to mr. W and he could no longer care for Buddy, what do you suppose would happen to him?. 

This is a foto of Buddy in hims home bein' a good boy.

And everyday we read posts somewhere in the internet about some cat ending up in a shelter or rescue because their people could no longer care for them. We think it’s heartbreaking, but even more so when that kitty is older and has spent it’s life living in one home only to find itself behind bars in a shelter somewhere. And it’s not just cats, it’s all pets that are in danger of this happening to them. In this day and age, we just don’t understand why this happens. people can take the time to write a will leaving their earthly belongings to some family member or friend or charity, but they can’t take the time to ensure that the living, breathing, being who has shared their lives and given them love has a place to go to also.

 dw Lexi checking out toys

Please don’t assume your children or some other family member is going to come in and take your beloved pet. More often than not your family members are heading straight for the local shelter.  Since we are cats, we will focus on cats, but there are lots of places that you can contact regarding your particular pet. Click here for a list of some of those places. Your cat has given you years of happiness and love, don’t abandon them when it’s your time. Make arrangements and put them in writing. Let someone else know your wishes. None of us are promised a tomorrow. Anything can happen at any time. So the sooner you get the arrangements made the better. You can always change it, but after you’re gone it’s too late.

Is That An Eskimo?

OMC Meowllo everypawdy, hope yous had a gweat Monday. Let me tell you we had a funny Monday. Well not all of it of course, but OMC ifin only we had fumms. Just wait’ll yous see da foto we had mommy take of hers selff. MOL Afur me tells ya ‘bout it me must pawlogize fur puttin’ up ow posty so late again. We got it written on time and wuz gunna post it but we had no innewnets. Only it wusn’t da innewnets fawlt. Can yous believ it? Not AT&T’s fawlt? Hmmmph Weez kuld hawdly believ it ow selves. You know mommy sez dat AT&T be one of da foo fings dat she finks kuld make a angel sin. Da udder…Ow management company. As you know we had sum major we-duin’ wound ow pawtment just a foo mumffs ago, and soon discovered dat to save gween papers (course we knew dat fwum da beginnin’) da management company used every short-cut they kuld. And dat they changed out da switchplates all over da pawtment. But they didn’t just change out da switchplates, they changed out da whole fing. And in duin’ so da wirin’ got all messed up. Cuz of course a weal lectwician costs lots more gween papers than sum barely twained maintenance man.

Weez playin’ Gotcha

We noticed it first wiff ow fone, and amazinly AT&T fixed it. Then it wuz da teevee, and Dish fixed dat. Well da new light fixtures they put in wiff da ceilin’ fan has gone out a foo times and when mommy can finally get up there to change da light bulbs, all da wigglin’ hers duz to it pawently fixes da short and it comes back on. Cuz it’s not da bulbs, it’s da wirin’. And dat wirin’ connects to da same stuffs (like we know what all dat’s called) dat ow innewnet and fone and fweezer be on. So it knocked everyfin’ out. It wuz so late, mommy sed weez wuld deal wiff it after we got a good nights rest. So first fing this meownin’ mommy had to work on da innewnet connection and move it so we kuld get ow posty up. So, weez late again, but hopefully ow funny will make up fur it.

OMC Fank ya' Miss Ellen.
OMC Fank ya’ Miss Ellen.

And weez wanna fank Miss Ellen fwum 15 and Meowin’ fur da pawsum made wiff luv toys and all da joint tweats. Hers posted and asked ifin anypawdy wanted ’em cuz they wusn’t workin’ in hers house. And wiff sis Lexi eatinn’ and not eatin’ then she isn’t gettin’ much of hers Barley Cat lately, so we jumped on those joint tweats Miss Ellen had. And she sent a whole bunch and a Barley Cat too. WooHoo Specially now dat sissy seems to be eatin’ purretty good again. And she wuz also nie nuff to send us sum made wiff luv toys dat we luvved. 

Weez playin' gotcha.

As you know it’s been cold here lately. Hoo is me kiddin’, ifin yous liv in da U.S. it’s been cold everywhere. Well mommy wishes we kuld all hibernate when it gets this cold, but stead she took half da day off to do sum much needed cleanin’. See since it wuz in da teens wiff even lower wind chill factors, we didn’t even open da door fur a kupple of days. So we had sum twash dat needed to go out and sum sweepinn’ and moppinn’ dat needed to be dun among udder fings. Mommy hadn’t cooked nuffin’ so there wusn’t any food or anyfin’ like dat in da twash, and hers washes out ow canned noms afur frwoin’ ‘em in there, so nuffin’ to cause bugs or stink, just twash dat by it’s very definition is yucky. MOL But Monday wusn’t any warmer than da last foo days.  But mommy hates to hav twash in da house, so she wuz determined to get it out of here. 

Here's mommys selfie as da Eskeemo .
Here’s mommys selfie as da Eskeemo .

So she got all bundled up in hers big, heavy, hooded, it’s fureezin’ coat, a a scawf wrapped wound hers neck and pulled up to hers eyes on hers face, and nice wooley mittens dat one of ow facebook awnties sent her. OMC Yous shulda seen hers. Sis Lexi and me wuz rollin’ wound laffin’ so hawd…ifin only we had fumms and kuld work da camewa fingy. Even da neighbor came out to see ifin mommy wuz okay. She sed yous look like an Eskeemo, to= mommy. (Weez not hav anyfin’ against Eskimos, so this is not meant to be derogitory) Mommy sez dat when yous dwivin’ da wheelchair against da wind, it gets even colder than it alweady is. Anyways when she got back in da house and took all hers gawb off she sed she had to sit down a minute and get warm. Me jumped up in hers lap and twied to warm her up. She felt likd a chilly bowl of ice cweam. Me even got a little chilled sittin’ in hers lap on hers cold bwitches.   But me got hers all warmed up and she went on wiff da house cleanin’. Fank Catness she didn’t hav time to run da cawpet monster, but me guesses dat means she’s gunna be takin’ sim more time away fwum da puter and meez duties to do dat nex.
