Meowllo everypawdy hope yous all plannin’ a pawsum weekend. Weez still restin’ up here. MOL But we purromised to tell you all ‘bout da dwivin’ pawrt of our twip to BlogPaws so dat’s zactly what weez gunna do. And weez also gunna join up wiff Rascal and Rocco fur da Pet Pawade Blog Hop. So anyways, as you all know we was meetin’ up wiff our fellow Oklahoma bloggers fwum Angel Prancer Pie and goin’ on to Nashville wiff them. They live bout a 4 hour dwive fwum us and wanted to leave early Fursday meownin’. So Ms. Tonya was pawsum enuff to put us up in a local motel Wednesday night so we wuld all be there and weady to leave furst fing Fursday meownin’.
We wasn’t in any rush to get off Wednesday, but since it was mommys birffday she had planned on us leavin’ wound 1 dat day so weez kuld get there and get a good nights sleep. And she wanted to pick up a bite to eat to celebwate. But as usual, we was late getting’ off. And when mommy twied to load us up neevew of us wanted any pawrt of dat. Sis Lexi gave mommy da “I’z not wanna go to da VET” hiss, and me followed suit. But mommy didn’t pay any attention to eevew of us and loaded us up anyways. And then furty miles fwum home we found closed roads and detours. You all member da floodin’ we got duwin’ da mumff of May wight? Well our stweet had been closed most of da mumff, and now so was da innewstate. So we had to detour almost immediately. And zactly what mommy didn’t want to happen, is what happened. Pig trails here we come. Finally 3 hours later we was half way to our destination and da rains fell. And they fell so stwong dat mommy kuldn’t even see out da fwunt window. Fankfully since mommy didn’t know what we might run into she had made us stay in da stwoller so we wasn’t out runnin’ wound da car. Well we finally awwived at our destination and Ms. Tonya gave us diwections so we kuld get into our room and settled fur da night. All in and mommy wealized she didn’t have anyfin’ to dwink, so she was leavin’ out to find a store and…there was Ms. Tonya. They hugged and squealed and exchanged “good to finally meet ya’s,” and they visited a bit and then we were all callin’ it a night.
Bwight and early da next meownin’ mommy packed us up again so we kuld head out to Nashville. We all got loaded up and our car went to Ms. Tonya’s and we was off. Guess we shulda figgered out by then we wasn’t goin’ to da VET, but weez just kuldn’t be sure so we was still givin’ mommy da “don’t wanna go” hiss. When we finally hit da highway mommy opened da stwoller so we kuld get out and use da pawdee box and get a dwink or snack ifin we wanted. By this time we was actin’ like childwen mommy sez and when me wuld touch Lexi or she wuld touch me we hissed to let mommy know dat da udder was “touchin’” us. MOL And yes, da pawdee box wus in da floor board and mommy had a syringe and bottle of water fur dwinks and sum snacks in hers purrse. Mommy sez she can’t make dat long of a twip wiffout needin all of those fings so she dusn’t spect us to eevew. We wasn’t too faw down da highway when me had to use da pawdee box and stink da car up. So we just pulled over and mommy scooped out da offendin’ “deed” and fwu it out. We was off again. Udder than a few hisses back and forff we didn’t have much to say duwin’ da twip. But mommy and Ms. Tonya and Ms. Samantha had purrlenty to talk ‘bout. They chatted most of da way. And nopawdy had to stop, get out and wait on us fur pawdee box bweaks, we just went when we needed too and mommy helped lift us back out.
Me did a lot of out da window watchin’ on da twip there, and sissy did a lot of nappin’. On da way home weez left early again, only this time sis Lexi did a lot of out da window watchin’ and me did da nappin’. Mommy kept noddin’ off on da way home like me. But when da hoomans stawrted talkin’ ‘bout getting’ closer to home sissy had to pipe in every once in a while and give ‘em hers 2 cents worff. Again, Ms. Tonya was so kind and let us stay da night so we kuld get up da next day and get on da road all rested up. And fank catness she did, cuz it had stowmed da whole time we was gone and there was even more roads closed comin’ back.
I’z got to uze da pawdee box, ‘skuze me.
OMC we got ‘bout an hour and a half fwum home and pawently da lake had flooded anudder major highway. We was detoured to Texas, da state, not a town. We almost dwopped in fur a visit awnty Ann. MOL Anyways, we got down to da furst town and wealized they was gunna detour us all da way to Dallas, so we turned wound and came back up to Oklahoma. Least these pig trails awe ones we know. MOL On da way down one of da little two lane weally one lane pig twails we saw tons of peeps pulled off da side of da road wiff their fishin’ poles. No, these places awe not fishin’ holes. And till May they were all dwy as a desert. But da rains had filled in every empty space wiff little ponds and lakes and batches of water; and pawently fish. Rednecks, give us a flood and we go fishin’. Anyways, weez finally got ‘bout 30 minutes fwum home and we kuld feel mommys ‘citement and weez stawrted singin’ da hallelujah chorus. When we finally got home we all so exhausted mommy barely got da car unloaded and showered and we all cwashed. We were so glad to be home. But you know what? We also wished dat BlogPaws had lasted even longer. Ifin we hadn’t had so much fun we wuldn’t have been so tired. It was cwazy busy, goin’, goin’, goin’, but we luvved every minute of it. And since bein’ back, sis Lexi has been actin’ like a kitten again. Weez’ll tell ya’ more ‘bout dat in future posties.
Well here we are runnin’ late again. MOL Mommy was all packed up wiff da ‘ception of da last minute fings, last week. And then she read a bloggy dat caused her to unpack and stawrt over again. Hoomans, y’all do sum of da funniest fings. Anyways, she’s just ’bout to wrap it up again and then jump in da shower and weez’ll be off. Weez dwivin’ up to see da hooman of Prancer Pie. She be our ride. And cuz she be 4 hours away fwum us weez dwivin’ there today so we can get a early stawrt in da meownin’ and get on to Nashville. Now let me tell ya’ sumfin’. You all know weez have had pawful stowrms all mumff long here and no sunshine. Till today when da sun came out and mommy checked da wedder and now dat we be leavin’ town and da state, da wedder sez all clear and sunny here. MOL Can you believe dat? Oh well, weez still ‘cited and ready to go. There seems to be conflictin’ tales ’bout da wifi at da hotel, so all weez’ll say iis dat weez hope to post sumfin at sumtime. Lexi and me wanna wish our mommy a Happy Birffday today. Yep weez’ll be celebwatin’ all weekend long. MOL Y’all be good and don’t furget ’bout us and weez’ll be finkin’ ’bout all of ya’.
Meowllo everypawdy weez twyin’ to hurry and get meez posty out afur da next big funderboomers followed by da lightin’ up of da sky. Now let’s see where did me leave off…Oh yeah me wanted a few more minutes of Zzzz’s So while mommy took care of meownin’ pawdee box business and sis Lexi played in da water me laid down in da shower chair and had a few. Sissy laid down on da vanity and meowed fur mommy to leave da water runnin’ till bwekky was weady so mommy woke me up to dwive her to da kitchen. Well of course me obliged, it is meez job after all. And it means me gets a few extwa licks of butter and/or ham spoon. Now weez not weally told ya’ what da ham spoon is so meez gunna tell ya’ today. Sissy told ya’ all da meds and supplements she be taking, and dat she gets ‘em in a tablespoon of ham and ham gwavy baby food. Well one of those supplements be fur UTI’s and can be used as a purrventative too. So after mommy mixes all of sissy’s medicines into da ham, she puts a little of dat D-Mannose on da spoon and mixes it up wiff hers finger and gives it to me. Oh da ham is divine. (looks off with a glint in her eyes)
Gimme da ham spoon mommy, it’s meez turn.
So anyways mommy and me headed fur da kitchen to fix bwekky. As me sed mommy be getting’ wound purretty slow these wet, rainy days, so it takes furever to make bwekky, so me stands watch. And sumtiimes me will have a good scwatch on da post, but me can still see and feel mommy so ifin she needs me it’s no purroblem. And sure nuff this meownin’ she needed me. Mommy was twyin’ to hurry and get our bwekky made and suddenly me felt dat sumfin’ wasn’t wight wiff mommy. So into da kitchen me went and pawed at hers ankles and meowed and twirled. See mommy likes to twy to stand up and fix our bwekky. She leans on da counter to stabilize her. But ifin she passes out, it dusn’t matter what she’s leanin’ on, she’s gunna fall. So after me danced a little me got da chair and bwought it over to her so she kuld sit down and finish makin’ bwekky. Bwekky all dun and me hopped up in hers lap to have me sum ham spoon and mommy hollered fur sissy to come eat.
Sissy came saunterin’ up and jumped on da table to have hers ham plate and canned noms and mommy took meez plate to da livin’ room where me eats. Mommy and me went back to da kitchen to get hers coffee and then we all settled in. Sissy and me stawrted eatin’ and mommy sat in hers sittin’ chair to have coffee, read emails and pass out. MOL Eventually mommy stawted getting’ wound a bit better as da day went on, but wiff all this rain and ole man awfur-itis hangin’ wound most of our days this mumff have been purretty much like this one. Mommy sez she wuld still be layin’ in bed ifin not fur Lexi and me and dat she be so fankfull to have us. We fink we be da lucky ones. So togedder we be a very gwatefull furmily.

She gladly came down off da ceilin’ to make her a fwesh cup and we gladly let her dwink it all. MOL We allso got sum more filter fur our fountain and sum kitty gwass. And she sent 2 bonus sets of sheets fur da bed. What dat bonus means is dat weally we got 4 sets of sheets. And then last night awnty Anonymous called mommy and wanted to give hers sumfin’ fur hers Meowday which be da day afur BlogPaws, da 27ff. So mommy got anudder Meowday purrezzy. Mommy sed she felt like a queen. We told her she’s always our queen, but a meowsy big fank you to all of ya’ fur makin’ mommy’s day.
And we was finally able to get online fur longer than a minute yesfurday and awnty Jennifer had left us a message and she’s gunna be sendin’ sissy a Meowday cawd and sumfin’ fur mommys Meowday too.

And on anudder fwunt, weez be getting’ all packed up and weady to go to BlogPaws. We be so ‘cited we can’t hawdly stand da wait. We can’t wait to meet so many of you and finally put togedder da hoomans wiff da cats. Mommy knows all our kitty furiends names, but needs a cwash course in da hoomans.

Meowllo everypawdy how ya’ duin’? Me thinks meez growin’ fins. MOL Let me just say and then me won’t complain’ ‘bout it again today; that da Governor has declared a state of emergency and da weather guys are still tellin’ us weez in a drought. Duz this even make sense to you? Hmmmph Okay so on wiff meez posty. MOL Well you all know we be service cats. It sez so right there under Deziz World. We don’t tell ya’ everyday ‘bout it cuz well…you wuld get tired of readin’ da same fing over and over, cuz we do da same fings everyday. At least for the most pawrt. But here lately ya’ know wiff all da rain that weez been havin’, weez do a little more. So we fawt today we might run you fwu a day in our rainy day lives. And yes, sis Lexi still works just as hawd as ever. We kuldn’t get her to slow down ifin we tried. And twust me, weez twied.
Anyways, mommy has dat ole awfur-itis. You know da pain in da joints and bones what acts up specially when it rains. And as of late seems da only weather weez havin’ is dat of da wet kind. So she’s been getting’ wound purretty slow. So anyways, da udder night we all got ready fur bed and Lexi was layin’ on a box we had just got dat mommy hadn’t got put away yet. Well it was kind of a small box so it was purretty low to the ground. Mommy picked me up and turned off da teevee and lights and went to pick up sissy. Now member meez already in mommy’s awms, so mommy went to bend over and…crrrreak, crrrack went mommy’s back. MOL She reached out fur sissy and sissy swooshed hers tail and crouched and pounced off da box and onto da floor and ran like striped lightnin’ to da bed and up da steps afur stoppin’ and lookin’ back.
At which point she saw mommy all bent over and carryin’ me to da bedroom. Mommy kuldn’t stand up stwaight. So here we was slowly walkin’ down da short hallway all bent over and here comes sissy flyin’ down da steps and up on mommys back where she purrceeded to purr and massage. Mommy was laffin’ and still twyin’ to walk all bent over ‘cept now she was twyin’ to make sure sissy not go tumblin’ off. When we got to da steps sissy jumped off and mommy stood up stwaight again and we all cuddled together to sleep. We do like to cuddle wiff mommy. But wiff all this rain mommy really freezes up at night. And since sissy decided to stawt eatin’ again, when she’s hungwy, she’s hungwy.
So da next meownin’ we all wake up as usual, but sissy’s a little on da hungwy side. So da minute she sees mommys eye open she stawts goin’ up to give mommy a massage and then to da steps to get da chair. Meez still runnin’ on old mode where we get up when we get up. Usually ruled by mommy has to go to da pawdee box and can’t hold it no more. So da next fing me knows sissy be givin’ me a massage. Come on sissy, lay back down a minute or ten me meowed. She wasn’t goin’ fur it, so me got up and sleepily gave mommy hers massage. And then me laid down to massage hers legs and went back to sleep. MOL Not fur long tho’ cuz here came sissy meowin’ at me to get up. We finally got mommy in da chair and off we went fur da pawdee box room where me laid back down fur a few more zzzzzzz’s. Meez gunna stop fur now and tell ya’ da rest in meez next posty Till then why don’t’cha lay back down fur 10 minutes or so and have a little rest.
