A Snow Filled Funday Monday

Published on by Service Cats U.S.51 Comments

Meowllo and happy funday Munday to you all.  Weez been a purrawmissin’ to tell ya’ ‘bout da snow dumpin’ incident and so guess what?  Today’s da day.  Weez not hav any actual fotos of da incident as we didn’t even hav a digital camewa back then.  And to be honest, when fings like this happens, gwabbin’ a camewa is kinda da last fing on mommys mind. Member it’s just da thwee of us, and only one of us thwee has fumms.  So anyways, me needs to set it up a bit fur ya’.     

 000dw Dezi on perch

Da year wuz 2010, so me wuz still weally yung.  Mommy had just had surgewy a kupple weeks afur and wuz wecovewin’ weally well.  And it wuz winter, and very cold.  And when we woke up one meownin’ there wuz a blanket of white stuffs all over da gwound.  Me had never seen anyfin’ like it.  Me wuz a little tyke da year afur and so me dusn’t know ifin any of this happened then or not.  Anyways, when mommy opened da door dat meownin’ and me hopped up on meez perch to look outside me wuz amazed.  Me kep lookin’ outside and then back at mommy and mewin’.  When mommy finally told me it wuz snow.  Well me didn’t hav a clue what this snow wuz, but it sure looked purretty.  Sis Lexi kep tellin’ me it wuz pawfully cold out there but me didn’t care. Me weally wanted to go out in it.  Me ate a little bit and then just kep runnin’ to da door and then back to mommy. 

 0dw Dezi laying with nana

Mommy finally seemed to get da message and told me dat it wuz way to cold fur meez naked paws to be owt walkin’ wound so ifin me wanted to go it wuz gunna hav to be on mommy’s lap.  So she told me to bwing da chair over to her, and me kinda ignored her.  Well me finally got tired of dat and weally wanted to go out and see this snow.  Me didn’t unnewstand why Lexi didn’t wanna go.  Anyways, me bwought da chair to mommy and hers stawted to get weady.  She put meez hawness on and then meez leash.  Mommy picked me up and we boff sat in da chair.  Mommy dwove us over to da door and weached up to unlock it and me put meez mouff on da joystick.

 0dw Lexi coming up steps

Mommy barely got da door open when meez pushed da joystick furward,  and out da door we went.  And wight off da porch and into da snow.  Da chair tipped furward and me dug meez little claws wight into mommys sweat pants.  Me wuz hangin’ on fur dear life.  Da foot rest of da chair had been buwied under da snow so mommy’s nerve damaged alweady numb feets wuz in da smow pushin’ and twyin’ to keep da chair fwum tippin’ us stwaight into da snow.  By this time Lexi wuz over at da door standin’ on hers back paws wiff hers fwunt paws restin’ gently on da still open door.  She wusn’t comin’ out to join us dat’s fur sure.  Hmmmmm meez wunnerwin’ ifin maybe she knows sumfin’ me shulda knowed.  MOL  Mommys feets keep sinkin’ deeper and deeper into da snow and da chair be leanin’ mowe and mowe and meez claws awe stawtein’ to rip mommy’s sweats.  And nopawdy’s comin’ to help us.

Everytime  mommy’s feet slip into the snow, Dezi’s claws dig in a little bit deeper  until finally they hit mommys skin.  Mommy hollered and sed,  “Dezi, honey, I’ve got you. Please you’ve gotta retract you’re claws. You’re hurtin’ me.”  Dezi’s eyes had gone fwum saucer size to full blown dinner plate size.  Not ow plates, a mommy’s size plate.  When all of a sudden a bird flew past us outta nowhere.  It stawtled mommy and skeered me and sis Lexi hoo wuz still at da door watchin’.  When sissyfur got skeered she dwopped to da floor and accidentally pushed against da door.  Da door opened and outta those plate size eyes meez saw da warmff of da house and it wuz callin’ meez name.  Me pushed off mommy’s lap and leapt toward da door and da inside.  But afur me kuld get inside, da door slammed shut.

And there me wuz standin’ on da cold snowy gwound.  Yous wulda fawt it wuz hot coals da way me danced wound.  And everytime meez paws hit da gwound they wuld sink a little bit further down.  Meez gunna be buried unner da snow me fawt.  Well wiffout me in hers lap diggin’ meez claws into hers legs, mommy wuz able to wight da chair.  Mommy got da chair back up on da snow covered sidewalk and Just then she saw me buried in snow up to meez chin. Me had sank so low me kuldn’t even jump anymore, and all mommy kuld do wuz laff.  Mommy reached down and picked me up and back into da house we came.  Me jumped down so fast yous head wulda spun.  Me wuz shivewin’ so mommy took me to da back and got da blow dwyer to dwy me off and warm me up wiff.  Me wuz finally gettin’ warm.  Now mommy had to take off hers soakin’ wet socks and torn up sweat pants.  A foo hours later we wuz all finally warmed up   But everytime mommy came toward me dat day me wuld run and hide cuz me musta fawt dat she wuz gunna take me back outside.  MOL  Soz dat’s how meez accidentally caused mommy and me to go playin’ in da snow.  Meez gotta tell ya’ me never wants to do dat again.  Well hope yous enjoyed ow snowin’ funday Monday.

So today weez gunna take you way back in time.  Back afur me wuz born and even afur sis Lexi wuz born.  To a time when dinosaurs walked da earff.  MOL  Not weally but me wuz on a roll and it sounded good.  Anyways, mommy’s dictatin’ today and meez welatin’ da story of mommy and hers first fireplace.  So mommy wuz ‘bout 20 years old and hers had been livin’ in hers own fur a foo years at this point.  And hers finally moved to da big city of Dallas.  Actually a little suburb called Lewisville.  Course Dallas kinda encompasses everyfin’ wiff in it.  Anyways hers rented a pawtment in a bwand new complex.  And she wuz so ‘cited.  It wuz da very first ever pawtment dat had a fireplace.  Now mind you mommy had never had a fireplace afur.  Not even duwin’ da years she lived at home wiff hers furmily.  But at 20 years old all mommy kuld fink ‘bout wuz how womantic it wuld be.  Never mind hers didn’t hav a beau at da time.  Mommy wuz a bit of a looker back then so she didn’t figure on bein’ wiff out one fur too long.  And she moved into this pawtment at da end of da summer, so she had time afur fireplace wedder or womance showed up.  MOL  Now, da only fireplaces mommy had ever seen wuz on hers “stories”.  Yep, mommy watched da soap opewas back then. 

 0dw Dezi in fire

So as da wedder cooled off a bit, mommy stawted byin’ logs.  They wuz sold in sumfin’ called a wick.  Do yous know dat even today mommy dusn’t know what a wick is. MOL  Anyways hers was buyin’ up logs and this one log in it’s paper wrapper dat wund posed to help get da fire goin’ and help fan da flame.  So da first purretty cool day mommy had, she got up and decodcided to hav a fire in da fire place.  So she all hers logs on da little metal holder.  Yep da hole wick.  And then on top of dat’ she put ders helper log.  And then she got hers candle lighter and lit da paper and went and sat down wiff hers then cat.  and she smiled and fawt ‘bout how warm they wuz gunna be and  and how purretty it wuz gunna look.  Da fire seemed to be takin’ a pawfully long time stawtin’ and flamin’ up.  So mommy wadded up sum newspaper and fwu it in. 

Finally, mommy saw a little flame in da back.  She wuz so ‘cited dat she got in da floor wight in fwunt of it.    Mommy had heard da soap opewea peeps talk ‘bout stokin’ it, and altho’ mommy wusn’t sure what “stokin’” meant and she didn’t hav any fireplace tools.  So she took a piece of metal and poked wound at da small fire. Once she had da fire goin’ she sat back on da floor wiff hers kitty and they watched as da da flames danced over da logs.  As they sat there, they began to notice black smoke hoverwin’ over da flames.  And da warmff of da fire wuz a little overwhelmin’ so they backed up a bit.  but mommy wuz still so purroud of hers fire she didn’t go faw. 

 0dw Lexi is fire

She wadded up sum more newspaper and fwu it into da flames.  And as she did da smoke began to seep out into da pawtment.  More and more smoke filled da pawtment.  Mommy kuldn’t see and hers wuz coughfin’ and hers eyes wuz waterin’ and she wuz finkin’ to hers selff dat she never saw this on da soaps.  But she knew da fireplace had never been used cuz da pawtment wuz new when she moved in, so she just fawt this wuz nowmal.  After ‘bout 30 minutes of da smoke fillin’ da pawtment mommy twied to put da fire out.  But da more she poked at da logs, da mowe da flames grew.   

Finally not knowin’ what els to do mommy went to hers kitchen and filled a pitcher wiff water and doused it all over da wood and flames.  Even more smoke emerged but at last da fire wuz out.  Mommy had a huge mess to clean up, but kuldn’t magine why in da world it had dun dat.  Da nex day at work she wuz tellin’ her coworkers ‘bout it and they asked her ifin she had opened da flue?  Opened da Flue, mommy questioned. What’s a flue?   

 0dw Dezi Christmas Heart

Mommy never completely got all da smell outta hers clothes and fings, but she learned fwum dat and has also never twied lightin’ a firplace again.  She’s never even lived anywhere dat had one again.  So dat’s why da lectwic fireplace is purrfect fur us.  there’s no need fur a flue. MOL  So dat’s da story of mommy smokin’ up da house.  Mommy’s not weally good wiff da fire fings dat be what she calls “men’s work”.  Now member meez mommy be an old Suddern Belle, so don’t get offended dat hers finks there be men’s work and womens work.  Ifin she had been datin’ sumpawdy she might have weally enjoyed dat first fireplace. MOL  

Don’t furget to go and enter ow give away.  Till da nex time………………Be Blest!!!

If We Only Had Thumbs

Published on by Service Cats U.S.45 Comments

Well we shared an oldie but always funny goody wiff you all yesfurday and weez so glad yous all had a gweat laff. We all need to laff ever once in a while and mommy’s a good sport and can laff at hers selff. At least most of da time. MOL  Altho’ we wealized after postin’ we furgot to tell you all dat this story wuz fwum 2011. Lexi had shared it on hers facebook page afur we had da blog, but it is so funny dat we just had to share it wiff you all here. (See sis Lexi stawted out hers page and told stories year by year fwum da time she wuz born.) So altho’ there wuldn’t hav been fotos even ifin it wuz yesfurday cuz alas, we hav no fumms, we didn’t even hav a digital camewa in 2011. And da 35 mm we had didn’t hav film, and again, Lexi and me hav no fumms. Me will tell ya’ dat mommy never wanted to be in da spotlight here, but it weally works out well fur her cuz she be da only one dat can work da flashy box. So there’s no danger of hers face bein’ splattered all over meez blog. Least not till they develop a camewa fur us cats. And when dat happens me finks there will be a line of awnties wantin’ to buy us one so they can see all da stupid stuffs mommy duz.  

 0dw DezinLexi together

So anyways, Sunday wuz such a purretty day here. Da sun wuz shinin’, it wuz in da 80’s and mommy wuz sittin’ wound in hers shorts wiff da a/c goin’. And then we went to bed and got up Monday fureezin ow little tooshies off. Okay, so maybe nopawdy in this house has little tooshies and maybe they wusn’t fureezin’ off, but it wuz sum kinda cold here. We woke up to 21 degwees. Me will just tell yous it’s not posed to be dat cold here yet. And it’s not just here. Me catness, sum of you alweady hav snow. We just can’t magine alweady gettin’ da snow. Me just hates da snow. And yep me has been out in it afur. It wuz quite by accident, but me wuz IN DA SNOW!!!  Me will tell ya’ ‘bout dat sumtime. You will get a gweat laff over dat one too. Mommy might be able to laff at hers selff, but meez not so sure me can laff at meez selff as well. But ifin me dusn’t agwee to tell you ‘bout it sis Lexi will just hijack meez blog and she’ll tell ya’ all ‘bout it.

It turns out a foo of ow furiends did go out shoppin’ on Black Furiday and swear they got sum good deals. A foo of ya’ went out to da gwocery stores and had no purrawlem. Yous know da gwocers haven’t learned yet to take advantage of Black Furiday. Can you magine a Black Furiday sale at da gwocery?  Like milk be $4.95 here wegular, and we told ya’ now dat da sales awen’t weally sales anymore, so da gwocer puts out an ad dat reads; Milk 2 gals. fur $10.00. Do you know dat da store wuld be packed and peeps linin’ up wound da block to get it?.  And da store be makin’ .10 cents more than they normally do. MOL  This Black Furiday fing is way outta contwol.  Mommy had intended to take Cyber Monday off and just “unplug”, but she decided she didn’t wanna get dat faw behind. So we logged on and visited as much as we kuld. Ow innewnet wuz runnin’ purretty slow wound here. Dat means a lot of peeps wound us wuz shop, shop, shoppin’ away.

 0dw Dezi in bedharness

Me will tell you a little secwet. Mommy did sum lookin’ hers selff. Member back duwin’ da fundwaiser when mommy got a gift cawd and wuz told to buy sumfin’ fwivolous? Okay, so mommy looked up da definition of fwivolous (hers hasn’t dun anyfin’ like it in so long she didn’t member what it wuz), and then did a little lookin’ wound hers selff. But alas, she didn’t take da leap. She sed da sales will weally be sales after Christmas, and then she can get da bestest deal fur hers munny. Me did tell you dat meez mommy can stwetch a dollaw so faw yous kuld see fwu it wight? Well, dat’s how. She never sez, “Oh, I would really like to have that,” and then buys it. Stead she sez, “wow, I would really like to have that, but what do the girls need?” Or, “What do we need for blogging and Facebook?” Mommy wrote down camewa battewies, and memowy cawds, and nip papers, and udder fings like dat. Altho’ she will do as instwucted, cuz dat’s da udder fing ‘bout meez mommy, ifin she’s given munny and told what to spend it on dat’s zackly what she duz. So, look fur a fwivolously bought sumfin’ posty after Christmas. Smile And Lexi and me awe so happy ‘bout dat. Mommy dusn’t do it enuff. Her luvs us sumtimes too much. When mommy sez weez be hers world, she weally means it. And of course we be glad ‘bout dat and mommy be ow world too, but sumtimes mommies need a little mommy only time. And ow mommy dusn’t weally do dat.

I'z warmin' deez old bonez bi da fire.
I’z warmin’ deez old bonez bi da fire.

Anyways, awe you all weady fur Christmas? It’s gunna be here in 22 days. Weez gunna be writin’ ow letter to dat Santa purrsun soon. There awe so many in need this year, we sure hope hims can help out. Fur all of ya’ in da cold, stay warm and safe. Well meez gunna wrap it up fur now and go and check on da sis Lexi and da firplace. Maybe she’s warmed up enuff to play a bit.

Till da nex time…………Be Blest!!!
