MeOW What a week. We’re havin’ Montezuma type storms. Mommy says somethin’ ‘bout April showers bringin’ May flowers, but me doesn’t think these storms are gonna bring anythin’ good.
Hey sissy, I’s not think Montezuma storms is right. What does that even mean?
It means they’re bad Raena. And ifin me wants to call them Montezuma storms, me can.
You’re right sissy. But other than the storms, it’s been a good week. We got good news ‘bout mommy, had a play date with furiends, and I’s got a Chewy box full of Birthday gifts. And now, it’s Resurrection Sunday.
That’s true Raena. No matter what else is happenin’ there’s always blessings in everythin’. Our church has been havin’ their annual Easter Campmeeting this week too. You know how much we luv mommy singin’, and all week there’s been lots of singin’ and worship.
I’s luvs purrayer time too, sissy. You know, mommy always puts her hands on us and thanks God fur us and asks Him to keep us healthy and happy.
And we always purray fur our furiends and ask God to bless them and their furmilies and to send healing to those in need. We are sendin’ some extra purrayers today fur awnty Barb. We got word while we were purrpurrin’ this posty that our sweet furiend Nellie has left this world. We know sis Lexi and Nellie are zoomin’ like kittens again. They’re purrobably havin’ their own campmetting. Campmeeting is always so much fun. It’s like Blest Sunday, every day. Me’s kinda sad it’s gonna be over.
Me too, sissy. But it’s endin’ on a good note, Resurrection Sunday. The day the peeps celebrate the resurrection of Jesus; the reason we can get answers to our purrayers.
You’re right Raena, and so long as we keep Jesus in our hearts, we can actually continue to celebrate every day. Now, what did you get in that great Chewy box?
Oh sissy, I’s got one of those great Kong scratchers, some fuzzy mice, a great new wand toy, these really cool bubbles, treats and guess what else? We got our very own telepawtin’, time travelin’ tunnel!!! Now all our furiends can just transpawt over in no time. Can you believe it?
That’s pawsum Raena. Me can’t wait to try out that tunnel fur meself. Can you believe mommy thought we’d be ‘fraid of those bubbles? They are so much fun.
They sure are sissy. Mommy blew on this stick and bubbles went everywhere. And they lasted a long time too. Did you see mommy jump when she ran into one of those bubbles in the kitchen an hour after we stopped playin’?
MOL Me sure did Raena. That was sooooo funny. Me thinks she thought it was some kind of giant bug at furst. MOL And hey, don’t furget the pawsum box all those gifts came in.
I’s really like this birthday thing sissy. Can we have another one next month?
Raena, birthdays only happen once a year. But the good news is that next month is mommy’s birthday, and she purrtends it’s ours so we get the birthday treatment all month again.
Really sissy? We are so blest. I’s luvs Chewy too. Fanky fank you fur all mine’s birthday gifts. I’s luvs everythin’. And don’t worry, I’s sharin’ with sis Dezi.
You are, Raena. You’re learnin’ to be a good sisfur. And you’re right again, we are so very Blest. We also wanna say a meowsy big fank you to awnty Vonda fur sendin’ some green papers fur mommy to get us all a little somethin’ special fur today’s celebration. We wanna say fank you to all our furiends fur just bein’ you and sharin’ your lives with us. Each day is a blessing. And we wanna remind you all to take a moment today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives.
And don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur the Sunday Selfies. We hope you all have a blest Resurrection Sunday.
Well, we furinally made it to Blest Sunday, Raena.
We sure did, sissy. I’s gotta tell ya’, with all the crazies mommy’s been goin’ thru, I’s wasn’t so sure we’d make it. The management tried to sneak in a second inspection this month, and mommy just ‘bout passed out at the doctor’s office. Mommy’s been really tired this last week. Y, just the other day we was visitin’ one of our furiends and next thing I’s knew, mommy had done nodded off right in the middle of readin’ the posty to us.
Yep, me noticed that Raena. Me knows she’s feelin’ better now that the worst of the teethies are gone, but ‘pawrently, baked, smashed taters and Malt o Meal don’t give her any energy. We are so fankful to Uncle and Awnty Hauck, and Hermes, Chip and Chessie fur sendin’ mommy some Malt O Meal cuz the stores here in town still don’t have any in stock; and mommy’s ‘bout tired of taters. MOL
And one of our Anonymous Angels sent mommy some Malt O Meal, Chocolate Mini Muffins, and a big ole bag of M&M’s plain chocolate candies. Mommy says a meowsy big Fank You. She can’t wait to sink her gums into one of those muffins. And while we’re on the subject of mommy’s teethies, we wanna say that mommy has a ride to her follow up ‘pointment this week. We furgot to announce that and a couple of ya’ was askin’. We also would like to say, ya’ don’t need an excuse to come and visit. We luv meetin’ up with our furiends in the fur to face.
We sure do Raena. You’ve actually never met any of our furiends, but me has. They’re so pawsum. We are so very blest to have such amazin’ furiends. Maybe someday, we’ll get to go back to BlogPaws, and you’ll get to meet a lot of them like me did.
That would be so furtastic, sissy. I’s would luvs that. Hey, did you see mine’s furst birthday purresent?
Yeah Raena, me saw that.
I’s was so excited when mommy said awnty Vonda sent me a purresent fur mine’s birthday like she did fur you. I’s wanna say fanky fank you. It was so much fun watchin’ mommy try to put it together. She was all thumbs. Ya’ know we kitties envy those thumbs humans have, but I’s gotta tell ya’, sometimes they can’t do nuffin’ right. MOL Mommy says so far, she’s really luvvin’ the Litter Genie. And I’s luvvin’ usin’ it fur a springboard and a purrch fur checkin’ out everythin’ in the pawdee box room I’s can’t see from the floor.
Is there anythin’ you won’t climb on, Raena? Ya’ know, at some point you’re gonna be too big to jump on everythin’. And besides, mommy hates it when ya’ jump on the ledge of the kitchen trash can.
Yep, sissy, she’s constantly goin’ on ‘bout how we’re not heathens, or white trash. I’s not even know what those things mean. I’s just know that sometimes, there’s somethin’ in there that smells purretty good.
Maybe Raena, but you really should stay down. We get purrlenty to eat, and treats too. You know how blest we are. We’ve not had empty bellies since mommy found us and gave us a furever home. And we’ve never wanted fur luv or furiends. We have the most amazinly pawsum lives. And just think, it’s only 2 more weeks till your furst birthday.
You’re so right, sissy. And I’s can’t wait fur mine’s birthday. We wanna say a meowsy big fank you to all our furiends. We are so blest to have ya’ll in our lives. We hope you’ll take a minute today and every day to give fanks fur the many blessings in your lives.
Fanks Raena, you did good. We’re also joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. And we hope everypawdy has a great week.
(Mommy rolls up to the kitchen counter to make breakfast for Dezi and Raena. Dezi sits and watches from a perch on the brown cat tree. Raena comes zooming up the hall, around the corner and leaps onto the top of the stroller. Mommy starts singing one of her many made up breakfast songs and Raena jumps down and runs over to rub against mommy’s legs. And she spots her new favorite prey toy. Raena grabs the toy and begins her hunt, catch, kill routine, while mommy finishes preparing the brekky plates.)
Me sees you found your new favorite prey toy Raena.
This is about as good as it gets. Mommy tried to find a foto that showed off mines long arms, but…
I’s sure did sissy. I’s so blest to have such long arms. I’s even found mines second favorite prey toy too.
(Raena tosses the toy in the air and catches it and runs down the hall and back to the kitchen. She drops the toy, bats it around a bit until it gets pushed under the refrigerator. She then lays down and stretches her arm under the fridge and feels around for her “prey”. She tries to flatten herself out enough to see under the fridge. Chortling happily, her arm emerges with the prey toy attached to her claws and she grabs it up in her mouth and tosses it in the air again and again.
Mommy finally announces breakfast is ready and turns to make her a cup of coffee. Dezi runs to the living room with Raena following suit. Halfway there, Raena turns and goes back to the kitchen to wait on mommy. Mommy puts the plates in her lap and heads to the living room. Raena saunters slowly in front of mommy, tail held high, while Dezi watches from the edge of the living room. Mommy puts both plates down and rubs each girls chin and tells them how much she loves them and heads back to the kitchen to get her coffee. Both girls follow mommy until she’s safely seated and sipping coffee. Then they settle in to eat. After eating a bit, the girls settle in for their first after breakfast bath and chat)
You know Raena, we are very blest. We are so loved that we sometimes take things for granted. Y, We couldn’t ‘magine not havin’ a great brekky every meownin’. Me never gets tired of hearin’ mommy sing; but me’s never given a thought to what it might be like to not have a mommy who happily makes our meals everyday. You know, we joked ‘bout you hunting, ketching and killing your brekky the other day; but there are kitties out there that really do have to do that.
Ignore mommy’s leg. She got a little over excited with self tanner
in the foto editing app. MOL
Yeah sissy. I’s wouldn’t wanna have to live like that. It makes me so sad to think that some kitties don’t know the love and security of havin’ a furever home, a furever mommy, or wonderful furever furiends. Y, Just this past week, mommy got a box from one of those furever furiends that you made befur I’s was even born. I’s been really blest to have been accepted by all of your furiends. Now, they be mines furiends too.
Oh Raena, sis Lexi and me always said we had the bestest furiends in the universe. No matter what, they are there to luv and support us. When we furst got our catputer, we never could have ‘magined there was so many pawsum peeps in the world. And you’re right, they accepted you and luv you just like they do me. We can’t begin to fank you all enuff. You all mean so much to us.
Hey, sissy. did you see what was in that last box mommy got? Ya’ know with everything that’s been goin’ on with her, she’s been feelin’ kinda down. So much of what’s wrong can’t be fixed. And it looks like it might be quite a while befur she can get her teeth pains fixed, so she’s just been feelin’ a little blue. She says getting’ old sure ain’t fun. Anyways, awnty Anonymous sent mommy some henna so she could cover up those gray hairs that have been takin’ over her head fur.
Yep Raena, me saw it. It seems kinda silly, but sometimes it’s the small silly things that can make you feel better. It’s been quite some time since mommy was able to afford to cover her gray furs, so lots of time she just doesn’t even look in the mirror. She gave up on that husband findin’ years ago, and says we luv her no matter the color of her hair furs, so she just didn’t worry ‘bout it. But she’s pawfully glad she can now fix it. You’ve never seen it, but just wait. She looks so funny walkin’ ‘round with mud in her hair. But let me tell ya’, stand way back, or you’ll end up with red furs. Me knows from experience. Me had a red dot on mes head when me was a kitten. Like you, me had to be right up under mommy and in to everythin’ she did, and some of that mud got on me just long enuff to change mes fur color.
Really sissy? Well what ifin I’s wanna look like mommy and have red furs?
Raena, you’re so silly. You be bootyful just the way you are. And natural or not, henna ain’t good fur kitties.
Aaaaaaaaaw Fanky fanks sissy. I’s think you be bootyful too.

Fank you Raena. And fank you to awnty Cindy, and awnty Anonymous fur sendin’ mommy some goodies. And fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. We wanna remind anypawdy that be innerested, we do have the fundraiser to help mommy get her dental work done. You can donate directly to paypal with our email address: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com or click here fur the fundraiser. Fank you awnty Cindy, awnty Gretel, awnty Jan and awnty Vonda. Every little bit gets us closer to our goal. We also purreciate all the shares and purrayers.
‘Member to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your life.
Well, half mines face is missin’, but you get da point. MOL
Don’t furget to check out the Kitties Blue to see all the Sunday Selfies. We’re linkin’ up, right sissy?
We are Raena. Paws crossed, we have a worker startin’ tomorrow, so mommy’s got a few things she needs to do today to get ready. We’re still bein’ cautious, so we’ll post more on this later. We’ll be by to visit as soon as we can.
Well, here we are and it’s time fur another Blest Sunday. And let me just say, we are Blest!!! And of course, we’re gonna tell ya’ why. After our last posty, somepawdy wrote us an email that said, “Bet ya’ won’t be posting a Blest Sunday this week.” They said a few other things too, but doubtin’ our blessings was the one that stuck out to mommy. We learned shortly after joinin’ social media that we had opened ourselves up fur peeps to think they could say anything they wanted to us. Most peeps are really nice and suppurrtive, but there’s always that somepawdy, right?.
Anyways, it’s true our new year got off to a rocky start and things haven’t been goin’ great, but look’it all the pawsum things we do have. Raena and me have the most luvving mommy in the universe, and she has us. We have all of you, our furiends and family. We have a roof over our heads, a soft warm place to sleep, food in our bellies, toys and scratchers and cat trees oh my. We are so blest, we’re overflowin’.
Don’t furget the cheese sissy. Ya’ know, that big round of cheddar mommy got from our dear sweet and bootyful furiend LouLou?. Ifin mommy could’a danced she woulda. When mommy opened the box her eyes got as big as saucers and she made up a song ‘bout cheese. “Cheese, cheese, gotta love cheese. Protein, dairy, yummy nummy cheese.”
Yeah Raena, mommy does luv her some cheese. Fank you so much LouLou, and to your mommy and daddy too. We also wanna fank everypawdy fur your ideas and suggestions ‘bout mommys dental issues. As we posted a couple of weeks ago, there are no community programs to help mommy, especially now that we know fur certain she needs surgical removal of several teeth. And mommy had already checked with the University, which by the way is too far to get too, and doesn’t qualify there either.
Mommy had exhausted all options befur lookin’ fur a regular dentist. And after she learned exactly what needed to be done, she called around to check purrices fur the work. She didn’t look into the cleaning, but we did get several emails and comments from peeps who understood what mommy didn’t, and the cleaning purrice is pretty much on point as well. But the cleaning isn’t urgent, so mommy isn’t really concerned with it at the moment. Getting rid of the purroblems that are causing her much pain and infection are her focus. And to that end, we did start the fundraiser. Because of the fees credit card companies charge, we have also listed our paypal account fur direct donations, so that we would get the entire amount peeps give.
Don’t furget to give everypawdy our paypal email sissy. It’s lexi.dezi@yahoo.com that’s lexi (dot) dezi (at) yahoo (dot) com. And the fundraiser can be found by clicking here. Oh, and don’t furget to stop by tomorrow to read, the rest of the story from mines Wednesday trip with mommy.
Well Raena, looks like you just gave everypawdy the infurmation. We do wanna fank all those who have donated so far. Mommy got busy last night visitin’ with one of our awnties, and settin’ up appointments fur interviews, so we’ll plan a purropurr fank you fur next week. The DHS nurse who was here Furiday, said that it was clear mommy needs help, but cuz she can’t find anypawdy to actually work, she may lose her benefits. But she told mommy to keep tryin’ till the final decision was made. So we have several innerviews scheduled fur Monday. Purrlease send purrayers that we find someone and the State lets mommy keep her benefits. They take this and next they’ll be wantin’ her $10.00 in food stamps. Hmmmpht
Fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. In spite of it all, we are so blest to have so much. And don’t furget to take a moment today and everyday to give thanks fur the blessings in your life. And we’re joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.
