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?.

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.

Ya’ know Raena, we are so Blest to have so many amazin’ furiends and be a pawrt of this wonderful community. We also wanted to say a meowsy big Fank you to awnty Carol fur sendin’ us some noms and mommy some glue fur her teethies.
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.
Hey, is anypawdy out there? It’s me, RaenaBelle. Welllllll, Hmmpht……..
Raena? Are you okay?
Yeah, fanky fanks sissy. I’s just have so much on mine’s mind, I’s didn’t know what to meow fur a minute.
MOL MOL MOL
Really? You? Not know what to meow? (Dezi heads for the phone) Hold on, let me call those world record peeps right quick. They’re gonna wanna put this one down in the history books me bets. Yep, the day Raena didn’t know what to meow. Me bets they’ll even wanna make a movie or somethin’.
Very funny, sissy. You’re quite the comedienne aren’t ya’?
Sometimes me does amaze me’s self. Why don’t ya’ start with why ya’ll came home so early yesfurday.
Oh sissy, was that weather skeery or what!!? Power flickers, hot one second then cold the next. And the rain and thunder and lightnin’, oh my!!! And mommy was so tired, she couldn’t even see to clean her teethies and put ‘em in. She didn’t think much ‘bout it tho’, after all, we were goin’ to get her purrmanent ones. Least that’s what we thought.
Yeah, she did seem kinda upset when ya’ll got home, what happened.
Well sissy, that was purrobably a mixture of everythin’ includin’ how tired she was. But, it started when the peeps at the dentist office said that those things she’s been wearin’ were gonna be her purrmanent teethies cuz she couldn’t affurd the new denture. Mommy calmly but furmly flew off the handle and told ‘em she’d been complainin’ ‘bout those things since the day they she furst saw ‘em. And that had she been told that then, she would’a never accepted ’em. And, that at every ‘pointment, she had been reassured that those were just “place holders” and that she would get a new denture that not only fit purropurrly but looked good, ya’ know like actual teeth. They had given her this gummy thing that was uneven, undersized and had teeth, ifin you could call ‘em that, that looked like they fit in a child’s mouth; one that had some sort of gum disease at that. When the girly went to meow at the office manager, me and mommy began to purray. Quietly of course, we didn’t wanna disturb anypawdy else. Anyways, after repeatin’ her story a few times they furinally agreed to make mommy a new one. So, they took new impurrsions and scheduled another ‘pointment fur next week. We didn’t get nuffin’, and as we walked out, they told mommy to be sure to bring that nasty thing next week so they could “see” it. Hmmmpht

Oh Raena, sounds like we need to do lots of purrayin’ t’ween now and then. Well, did your ‘pointment go better at least?
Oh Yes, sissy. Mine’s ‘pointment went purrfectly ifin ya’ ask me. Seems they had told mommy to just pop in since she didn’t know how long we’d be at the dentist, so we didn’t have an actual ‘pointment time. so, when they closed cuz of the weather, they didn’t call us and cancel. I’s didn’t have to see the V E T at all!!! WooHoooooo (Raena does the happy dance) By that time, it must’ve been a hunnerd below zero out cuz that wasn’t rain hittin’ the car, it was ice!!! Mommy needed some bandages fur her leg and awnty Cindy had sent mommy some green papers to get ‘em so we rushed to Wallyworld to get some and then home. No treats, no bacon cheeseburger, no nuffin’…just home. Mommy did pawlogize tho’. She said next time, that she was so tired and didn’t wanna take any chances with mine’s life and that we needed to get home befur it got any worse. I’s guess I’s can furgive her. I’s much purrfur mommy’s luvvin’ arms to bacon cheeseburgers any day.
Yeah, me too Raena. Did you know yesfurday was show your pet some luv day, and we missed it?
Really sissy? Ya’ know what? I’s don’t think we missed it at all. Mommy luvs us so much and not only says it all the time, but she shows us too. I’s don’t think we need a day fur us. I’s would much rather get good luvvins all the time than to have to wait fur a special day.
Yep, me too Raena. Hey, did you hear that our sweet furiends Valentine and Princess Erin also have Blogoversaries this month?
I’s seem to ‘member you meowin’ somethin’ ‘bout that last night sissy.
Well, while you and mommy were out gallavantin’ in the storms and ice, me made plans with them to have a pawrty this Sunday. We hope everypawdy will stop by. It’s gonna be fun, fun, fun, and nopawdy’s gonna take the t-bird away. MOL Sometimes me’s so funny me cracks me’s self up.
That’s the ice fallin’ right now.
But sissy, we don’t have a t-bird…do we?
Xxxxxxx-zactly!!! Nopawdy can take what ya’ don’t have. It’s rainin’ ice again. Me’s gonna go take a nap.
I’s right behind ya’ sissy. What are we gonna do fur the pawrty? I’s gonna have to dream on it…
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.
Right after the fall
5 days ago
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.
MeOW Brrrrr Raena, it’s me’s turn to lay on the heated mat. Why don’t you go paw up our Blest Sunday posty. Me will dictate from the mat.
What? Do it yourself, sissy. (The winds are really blowing outside and suddenly a gust blows through the memorial chimes aunty Vonda sent and they start chiming uncontrollably. Dead leaves rustle about and a clump hits the door causing Raena to run to the Liberty cat tree to see what’s going on outside.) These winds sure are noisy, aren’t they sissy?
(Seeing that the heated mat is empty, Dezi walks over and lays down and starts to bathe.) Yep Raena, the winds sure have been stirrin’ up things outside and inside, lately. One day yours and mommy’s eyes and noses are runnin’ a race and the next ya’ll are all dried up. Makes mommy second guess your eye situation. Seems dry weather clears up your eyes. Unfurtunately, we live in a really humid state. But, it’s fur sure somethin’ mommy’s gonna mention to the V E T when she takes you.
What’s that sissy? I’s not goin’ to the V E T?. Did you hear somethin’ I’s didn’t?
Well no, but you know mommy’s been plannin’ to take you to have your eyes looked at. And, since she has that ‘pointment this month to get her new fake teethies, me just assumed mommy would stop by the V E T while ya’ll were in Ardmore.
Hmmmmpht I’s don’t wanna go to the V E T, sissy. We’ll just have to see ‘bout that. Maybe it’ll take all day to get mommy’s teethies and there won’t be enuff time to take me anywhere but to have fun. Meowin’ of fun, what did you think ‘bout the big ole box we got yesfurday?
Hmmmmm Let me see what’s in here.
OMC Raena, what a blessin’ it was. We had no idea we even had a box comin’. Mommy had gotten some emails from the post office ‘bout a package comin’ our way, but mommy furgot ‘bout it cuz she hadn’t ordered anythin’ or heard from anypawdy sayin’ they had sent us somethin’. Mommy was givin’ your tummy a good brushin’ when she saw somethin’ out of the corner of her eyes. She looked up at the door and saw our poor little mail lady strugglin’ with this huge ole box. Once her and mommy got the box inside, me came over from the brown tree in the dinin’ room to see what we got.
It wasn’t just a big box sissy, mommy and the mail lady said it was heavy too. I’s hopped up on the Liberty tree to help mommy open it. What a treasure trove it was. Mommy just kept pullin’ goodies outta that box. Most of it was fur mommy, but, there was few goodies just fur us. Mommy even said there’s a whole package of pepperoni’s.
Me luvs a good pepperoni pizza, Raena.
Me too, sissy. And, it’s been way too long since we’ve had one. I’s sure hope mommy fixes it fur us soon. she couldn’t quit cryin’ long enuff last night to do anythin’.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Yeah, but they were happy tears Raena. That awnty Cindy and angel Maggie Meme are somethin’ else. There was so many goodies in the box, mommy can’t ‘member ifin she got a foto of everythin’.
Yep, here we have new batteries fur the camera, and mommy furgot to charge one. So, when the camera started flashin’, she had to quit takin’ fotos and plug it in. (Both Dezi and Raena shake their heads.)
Yeah Raena, sometimes mommy ain’t the crispest cracker in the box. Anyways, there was also, milk and cheese, pasta and noodles, ham and cheater taters, the almighty coffee, and those yummy chocolate chocolate chip brownie bites, and the cutest little socklets with kitty ears and all. Did you see the cheez-its? Mommy’s been cravin’ those.
Those socklets are adorable, ain’t they sissy? And what ‘bout our treats and that nifty little toy? We each got a slice of chicken breast and our own bobble toy on top of the package of pepperoni’s. We all hit the jackpot. Fanky fank you sooooooooooooooooooo much awnty Cindy and angel Maggie Meme.
Fur sure, a meowsy big Fank you. It didn’t end there tho’, Raena. There was also a card in the box with some green papers. They know how much goin’ to BlogPaws would mean to us and so they sent some monies to put towards the trip. Mommy’s gotta figger out zactly what it’ll cost us to get there so we’ll know how much more we might need. Mommy said she found some hotels out by the airpurrt that be lots cheaper than the host hotel, so we won’t need as much money as we would’a ifin we’d stayed at the event.We are so blest and so luvved it sometimes takes our breath away just thinkin’ ‘bout it.
That’s fur sure sissy. Mommy hasn’t been feelin’ all that good lately, so we were spendin’ yesfurday doin’ a bunch of nuffin’ till the box came. And when mommy checked our emails, she saw one that said we had money. Fanky fank ya’ awnty Anonymous, we really ‘purreciate your gifty of green papers. And, we think you need to hear this so lissen up. You are a very special awnty and we luvs you very much. Don’t ever let anypawdy tell you that you don’t matter.
Well meowed Raena. That goes fur all of you. Sometimes peeps are just nasty and mean hearted. We don’t know why, but don’t any of ya’ lissen to those kinds. Each of us are special and purrfect in our own way, God says so and so does mommy. And you all know, mommy doesn’t lie. With that, we’re gonna wrap it up and let mommy have some of that coffee and brownies. We’d like to remind ya’ to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. We’re so grateful fur each and every one of you. We are the richest kitty girls in the world, cuz we have so many pawsum furiends.
Just thinkin’ ‘bout all our amazin’ furiends makes me purr sissy. We’re also joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.
