Meowllo everypawdy. Me told you da udder day we wuld share a story ‘bout mommy and da leaf blower, and so we ‘cided mommy’s first ever leaf blowin’ episode wuz purrawlly da bestest one to share wiff yous today. Now me will warn you tho’ Don’t take too big a sip of dat coffee or tea or coke, cuz yous just might end up blowin’ it all out yous nose on da puter scween. Yep, it’ dat funny. Me showed you all those leaves da udder day but not where they came fwum. See Weez hav these big ole oak twees out in fwunt of ow pawtment. There be 3 of ’em, and they stawt losin’ their leaves weally bad wight after halloween. And then they stawt pilin’ up on ow fwunt porch and walkway. Da wind can’t get under them and move them along cuz of da way owr house sits wiff it’s store room. And mommy can’t get out and sweep them all off anymore. So she got this idea to buy a leaf blower.
Everywhere she looked they cost a lot of munny. She finaly found one dat she kuld afford, and so she orderd it. Well it finally arrived and mommy wuz so excited. Now just so you know, da leaf blower is one of da fings dat me just hates bout da lawn crew. But they be gone fur da year, so me has all calmed down now. Anyway, mommy opened da box and took out hers new leaf blower, and stawted laffin. It wusn’t much bigger than a hair dwyer. But mommy wuz still excited and wanted tu know how well it wuld weally work. So she went outside tu giv it a twy. Let me tell you, It wuz a site.
Mommy had to get a heavy duty extenshun cord cuz da plug on it isn’t very long. She finaly got it plugged in, and she’s standin out on da porch lookin’ at it. She turned it over and wound and back upwight again cuz she kuldn’t figger out how to turn it on. Sis Lexi and me wuz in our window perch and we wuz boff watchin’ her wiff anticipation. MOL Mommy turned and looked in da window at us and sed, “I got it girls, get ready for the noise…..hopefully.” Now let me splain, me hates da lawn crew visits and all their noise. Mommy can make all da noise on da fwunt porch her wants to and me dusn’t care. Me can even sleep fwu it. Oh yeah, me almost furgot to tell you. Mommy has never dun any kind of actual lawn work. She just stawted learnin’ to garden a foo years ago, and da only lawn mowers mommy has ever seen is da tractor kind. (anudder story altho’ it’s bout mommy growin up and not us). So to say mommy dusn’t know how to use da leaf blower her just bought is puttin it mildly.
Here we go. Mommy’s got da leaf blower pointed toward da store room door. Da window where Lexi and me awe layin is wight by da store room so we hav a purrfect view of mommy and what’s goin’ on. Mommy pushes da ‘on’ button, and…… da leaf blower jumps. Up then down and mommy be scweamin’ and leaves and dirt are flyin everywhere and Lexi and me………well, we boff jumped wight off ow perch so fast yous head wulda spun.
Mommy finally got da ‘on’ button turned off, and now she be laffin uncontwolably. Me be standin’ at da fwunt door wiff me paws on it lookin’ out at mommy, and Lexi be standin’ behind me lookin’ up fwu da door at mommy. And what we saw wuz a site to behold. There wuz mommy laffin’ loud and hawd. We fawt she might hav been cwyin’ too, but ifin so they wuz brown tears runnin down hers face. Hers hair wuz all over da place. Weez never seen it look dat way, not even in da meownins. Mommy had leaves and dirt all over her. She didn’t even look like ow mommy. She looked at us standin at da door and sed, “Oh my catness girls, this is much more powerful then I thought it would be especially since it’s so small. Sorry I scared you girls, I will get better. I promise.” Mommy turned wound and turned da blower back on and well….needless to say she made a bigger mess than we had to begin wiff.
She finally had to come back in da house cuz it got dawk. But da purrsun dat came in wusn’t da same one dat went out dat’s fur sure. She smelled funny and looked funny. Specially wiff all those leaves in her hair. Leaves and dirt wuz stuck to mommys legs and awms and face. She sed, “I know it’s dinnertime girls but I’ve got to take a shower first. And I guess I’m gunna have to work on the leaves tomorrow.” Again, we fawt. Mommy’s gunna du this all over again tomowwo? Well she did, and didn’t do much better then eever. But after a foo more times, she did get a little better. Mommy’s just learned dat she needs to stawt early nuff to do ow porch and walk and da neighbors. Cuz dat’s where she ends up blowin’ most of ow leaves. MOL
Oh and sumpawdy sed sumfin’ ‘bout livin’ in pawtments and maint. men duin’ da leaves and such. And yous so wight. Least dat’s what mommy fawt too. And it’s always been dat way everywhere els she lived. But not here. Da idiots they hire here don’t do nuffin’, specially ifin they don’t hav too. Fur years da lawn crew didn’t do anyfin’ wiff da leaves. They sed it wusn’t in their contwact. Once da contwact wuz up, management put leaf cleanin’ in da new one. But they be gone fur da year, and so now it’s up to each wesident to take care of their own porch and walkway or get written up. Anyways, hope you enjoyed mommys adventure wiff da leaf blower. Me told you it wuz funny. We still fink dat little blower shulda came wiff a warnin’ label. MOL
OMC OMC OMC Can you tell weez be weally ‘cited? Well we awe. Weez been duin’ da happy kitty dance since yesfurday. It kinda stawted out like any udder day. Well it did get cold on us again. (Yucky) Anyways back to da happy. So you all know we got a whole house full of Chewy boxes da udder day. Four to be exact. You know it cuz we posted ‘bout it. One of ow pawsum Facebook awnty’s sent them, and so we also posted on Facebook ‘bout it. And… well wait me needs to back up just a little. See we luv Chewy.com. Weez been shoppin’ there since afur we had a blog or even wuz on Facebook. We only got a “local” (45 minutes away) pet store a kupple years ago. So shoppin’ fwu da mail wuz sumfin’ mommy wuz used too. Da puter just makes it so much easier. (sumtimes too easy-MOL) Ow local store has purrawlems wiff bugs. You know, worms and weevils and moths and so many more. They get in da food and litter and tweats and everyfin’. OMC Well you can bet mommy wusn’t gunna feed us dat kinda stuffs, nor wuz she puttin’ dat in ow pawdee boxes. So she went in search of a place to get our supplies dat had a good purrice, good shippin; rates and a good reputation.
Me wuz sittin’ in da stwoller waitin’ fur mommy to fix dinner. Weally me wanted to go fur a stwoll. MOL Mommy leaves it unzipped and we lay in it all da time.
And……there wuz Chewy. They carried all ow noms, and ow litter, and of course ow tweats and so much more. And what do you know, their purrices wuz better than da “local” store. And shipping? Well let me tell you. They hav a very weasonable flat rate shippin’ charge and it’s furee ifin yous order is $49.00 or more, and they offered autoship. Well dat wuz it. Chewy wuz ow new supplies/pet store. And mommy just luvs ‘autoship’. Dat means she can set up an order of da fings we use constantly and hav them ship out wight afur we run out so we never run out. And anytime she needs to add sumfin’ to it or take sumfin’ away she can wiff da click of a button or a fone call. Or in da case of like now when awnty Ann sent us all dat pawsum food and litter, mommy can even delay a shipment wiff just anudder click of da button or fone call. And you all know meez mommy’s a night owl, but dat dusn’t matter, Chewy reps awe always there. And they awe just da nicest peeps. You can tell they all hav furries at home. Yous can check ’em out here.
So yous all wunnewin’ why in da world awe we writin’ a posty on Chewy wight? After all, lots of you alweady know ‘bout them. Well dat’s where ow todays Fankfull comes in. See since comin’ to da blogosphere and seein’ all da weview postys and such, weez wanted to do just dat owselves. After all, we luv twyin’ new stuffs. But just how duz one get in on dat? Well this is where ow wecent posty comes in. There wuz a comment fwum Chewy on ow Facebook posty and they wuz so sweet and also sed, ifin we needed anyfin’ let ‘em know. Hmmmmmm Mommy fawt.

Outta da first 5 blogs we visited 2 of them wuz reviewin’ sum yummy noms fur Chewy. Sum of da noms weez been wantin’ to twy by da way.

OMC Awe yous kiddin’ me? Fank yous so much Miss Jan. so of course mommy halted everyfin’ and shot over an email. Wiffin 5 minutes we heard back fwum ‘em.

But weez here now and weez gunna be visitin’ you all. Weez’ll get caught up again afur long. Mommy had a house full of nurses/case managers on Monday and it weally took a lot out of her, but she’s better now. She’s been fightin’ off a cold and da doctor told her dat it wuz too soon fur antibiotics, so it’s been slow goin’. And it warmed up today. WooHoo, it’s 50 degwees. MOL
Anyways me got a box fur meez Meow/Gotcha Day fwum meez pawsum furiends unkle and awnty Garth and Mary Beth and Gizmo, Sundance, Alley and da gang. Fank yous so much, we luv it all. And there wuz even a Christmas purresent fur mommy. Christmas you say? Isn’t it a bit early fur Christmas purresents? Well maybe, but awnty Mary Beth wanted mommy to be able to go ahead and stawt usin’ it, so she sent it now. Wiff all dat’s been goin’ on mommy hasn’t had da chance to get ‘em all put up, but her’s gunna do dat this weekend. Now back to me. MOL Me got a chirpy mouse on a stwing and a lot of da little mouseys. There wuz also this cool glitter ball wiff lights. Oh and member dat Santa suit mommy found at da dollaw store? Well awnty Mary Beth found it at hers store and it wuz in da wight size, so she sent it to me. And even sis Lexi got a turn at wearin’ it.
Sis Lexi’s neck is way smaller than meez neck so da minute hers took a step she stawted comin’ out da suit. Mommy had hers lay down weal quick so she kuld get a kupple fotos.
She dusn’t go wiff us to da nursin’ homes anymore cuz she dusn’t enjoy it. She got skeered when one of da old peeps stuck their teef out at hers. MOL Can you believe it? Dat dude just stuck out hims teef like we stick out ow tungs. And Lexi wuz sittin’ in hims lap just a purrin’ up a storm till hims did dat. Pawently da gwand kiddos like dat sort of fing. Mommy sez when hers wuz a kid she had an awnty dat did dat, and she fawt it wuz weally cool. But us kitties not find it nearly as amusin’ as da hooman peeps. So Lexi stays home now and mommy and me go and entertain da older folks. Anyways, we fawt you might like to see sum of da fotos of me in meez Christmas suit. Me luvs da little suit. Well, me dusn’t like da hat. Me dusn’t care fur any hat bein’ on meez head, but sis Lexi’s all ‘bout da hats. Hers dusn’t fuss a bit. Well dat’s ‘bout all fur now, so meez’ll get this posted and be wight over to visit wiff you.
We awe also fankful fur ow puter dat keeps us in tuch wiff you all day after day, and weez fankfull fur da roof over ow heads and da nice warm bed weez sleep in and da food in ow bellies and pantwy. We awe fur sure sum weally blest kitties. Fank you all fur bein’ a pawt of ow lives and furmily.
