Brotherhood of the World

Meowllo everypawdy, we’re back. Did ya’ miss us?

 Raena, Ragdoll Kitten, rests

     Well sis Dezi, did they? Did they miss us?

Me doesn’t know yet Raena. Now cool it and let me tell everypawdy what’s been goin’ on.

As ya’ know mommy’s been workin’ on getting’ da air conditioner in da car fixed. So Wednesday she had to be over at da mechanics at 8:30 dat meownin’. Well you all know mommy can’t move in da meownin, so she stayed up all night on Tuesday so she could be at da mechanic’s on time. Then she sat out in da hot garage till 3 dat afternoon when da mechanic furinally found da purroblem and fixed it. WooHoo   We’s got cold air comin’ from da vents now. ‘Course, by da time mommy got home, she and her brain were fried. Useless, dat’s da bestest way to describe mommy fur da last couple of days. And just when she furinally got ready to get back in da game, her and Raena be headin’ to da VET fur Raena’s last round of core vaccinations includin’ rabies.

 Raena looks at the camera from inside the stroller

     What you talkin’ ‘bout Dezi?

Oh, uh, never mind. Raena, go check with mommy, me thinks she has some treats fur ya’. 

     Treats? Really? See ya’ sissy. 

So, like me was sayin’, Raena be at da VETs this meownin’. These vaccinations have made her sick everytime, so we would fur sure purreciate your purrayers fur them today. Fankfully, they’ll have cool air, so Raena won’t get any heat exhaustion. Mommy was so scared fur her after da last shots.

In da meantime, we’ve gotten a couple of awards here lately, dat we haven’t posted ‘bout, and so me thought today would be a great day to start. These awards all have a few question/answers to them, so me thought we would feature one at a time, startin’ with da most recent. So let’s get on with it.

Our sweet gawjus furiend Little Binky from Angel Whisper nominated us fur da Brotherhood of the World award. We are so honored, thank you Binky and granny. We luv ya’ll too. Da rules are: Thank da purrson/kitty/doggy what nominated you, and answer their questions. Nominate and notify up to 10 bloggers. Purrsent those bloggers with your questions and display da badge. Well me’s thanked Binky, so let’s get on to da questions.

 Brotherhood of the World Award

1. What do you think when you wake up in the morning?

    Well, me’s furst thought is, “mommy, are you awake yet?”

2. Do you have a kind of ritual when you wake up?

    You betcha’ we do. We give mommy a massage to get her limbs to movin’ so she can get up and get ‘round. No brekky without mommy, ya’ know. 

3. What makes you happy?

    Oh Binky, dat’s a big ole question. Mommy, Raena and me all discussed this and came up with da same answer. Bein’ together and havin’ each other and all of you, makes us really happy.

4. Have you ever had a sign from the angels and how did you feel after that?

    Well we don’t know ‘zactly how to answer this one. We believe in God 100%, but we don’t believe in spirit visitations. Since angels are merely God’s messengers, we believe that all signs are from God. Mommy has had many, including da one dat brought Raena to join our furmily. Dat was a good sign, so we’re happy ‘bout it. Altho’ me does occasionally question mommy’s hearin’. MOL  

5. What is your hobby?

    Hobby? Me likes to luv on mommy and play with me’s Yeowww nip toys. Raena has made doin’ everythin’ me does her hobby, and jumpin’ on me outta nowhere. And besides us, mommy sings, writes and plays da piano. She’s workin’ on a song she’s writin’ fur me right now.

Showdown On The Cat Tree

OMC Mommy, da weekend is finally here. Me thought it was never gonna get here. And what do you think ‘bout the pain in me’s hiney lil Raena jumpin’ in da shower yesfurday like she was gonna help you or somethin’? (shakes head) Me’s tellin’ ya’ dat kid sometimes thinks she’s too big fur her own bloomers. Did you see her try to take dat treat outta me’s mouth da other day? And what’s up with her constantly dirtyin’ up me’s pawdee box. Doesn’t she know da other pawdee box is hers? She has no respect mommy. Me’s tellin’ ya’, me thinks you made a mistake or somethin’. Can we return her? 

 Dezi getting mommy loving and petting.

     Return me? Too big fur mines bloomers? Y, Sis Dezi I’s just wanna be like you. I’s wanna do everythin’ da same way you do. You’s minez hero. Mines amazingly pawsum big sisfur. 

Raena up close on top of the stroller

Layin’ it on a bit thick don’cha’ think Raena? 

 Dezi and Raena lay in th floor

 

     Whatever do you mean sissy?  (Raena meows with a look of concern on her innocent face)

 

Alright girls, enough. I’ve got a migraine. (Dezi and Raena both scurry to give mommy a massage before the other, and then a small game of whacky paw ensues over who was there first) Girls!!! You can each massage a side. Now Dezi, we are blest to have Raena in our lives. She loves you and looks up to you, just like you did with sis Lexi all those years ago. And Raena, you need to learn not to jump on sis Dezi constantly, especially when she’s in the pawdee box. That’s just not nice. And do you remember when you bit your tail the other day and yelled? Well, don’t be biting sis Dezi’s tail. Just because it doesn’t hurt you, doesn’t mean it don’t hurt.

Yeah Raena, what mommy said. 

     Well same to you sis Dezi.

(Both head for the top of the cat tree and the showdown commences.)

Blest Sunday: Showdown At High Noon

Meowllo and welcome to another Blest Sunday. We are so blest to have all of you in our lives and so thankful dat we got to meet you all even ifin not in da purrson. It’s been a very innerestin’ but blest week here. Me has lots to tell ya’. Furst up me wants to say a meowsy big thank you to Herman and his mommy fur helpin’ mommy learn ‘bout a new foto editin’ app. ‘Course dat means mommy’s been goin’ crazy editin’. Just wait’ll ya’ see what mommy’s done. OMC She was laffin’ so hard me thought fur a minute she was gonna pee her panties.

 Dezi hangs on the Liberty cat tree

Anyways, Raena’s growin’ like a weed. But let me tell ya’, dat kid just never runs outta energy. It ain’t what she’s eatin’; and me oughtta know dat fur sure, cuz she won’t stay outta me’s food dish. Yeah, really. Every meal, here she comes tryin’ to push me outta me’s plate. It’s not like she don’t have a plate of her own full of da same thing. Me hisses, and growls and even gave her da whacky paw, but alas, she just keeps hornin’ in on me’s meals. Check it out.

So, me decided we should meet at during dinner high noon fur a showdown. Ya’ know settle this once and fur all. When mommy serves our meals we should each eat outta our own plate. Yep, we needed to settle this fur sure. So Raena agreed to da showdown and it was on. There we was in da livin’ room floor squarin’ off and sizin’ each other up. Raena was all poofed up and turned to da side dancin’ like Mohamed Ali, singin’ somethin’ ‘bout butterflies and bees. Me doesn’t know where she gets this stuff. She’s too young fur da butterflies and bees story anyways. And isn’t it birds and bees? (scratches head and looks puzzled)  And…it’s not like she’s ever gonna need to know ‘bout da birds and bees anyways. Mommy’s gonna take care of dat befur she ever even thinks ‘bout it. She did to me. Anyways, me’s getting’ sidetracked.

 Dezi and Raena square off and get ready to rumble.

 Dezi: You wanna piece of me?

Raena: C’mon sissy I’s not afraid o’ you.

Now where was me? Oh yeah, we were squared off and Raena was all puffed up. Well, me didn’t need a mirror, there was no need fur me to puff up. Raena may be growin’ like a weed, but me’s still bigger than her……by a lot. And me doesn’t have to turn to da side to prove it. C’mon, one of me’s paws is almost bigger than her head. But da kid has no fear. None at all. Befur me knew it, she jumped up in da air and lunged in on me. Me wrapped me’s paws ‘round her and fell to da floor and there we was…wrestlin’. We rolled and pawrted and rolled and pawrted again and again. And then, it was over. Me showed Raena just who da boss in this house is.

Dezi and Raena tumble and roll

Now Dezi…

Oh mommy, me didn’t know you was payin’ attention. (Dezi looks over at mommy and acts embarrassed.) 

     Wha’cha’ talkin’ ‘bout Dezi? I’s got you good. Sure nuff, didn’t I mommy?

Now Raena… 

 Dezi and Raena square off and get ready to rumble

 Dezi: Ya’ wanna go again?

     I’s sorry mommy. (Raena drops her head but grins) But I’s still eatin’ outta sis Dezi’s plate.

Dat may be Raena, but it’s cuz me lets you. Mommy says sharin’ is carin’ and me does care ‘bout ya’. After all, who’s gonna help me with mommy ifin not you?

Anyways, me was really happy when mommy took me fur a stroll da other day. It was just me and mommy havin’ a little girl time, just da two of us. We haven’t really done dat since Raena got here. It was really nice. Me felt so luvved and blest.

     Mommy took me out too sissy. 

Yeah she did Raena, but all you did was complain. ‘bout da heat.

     Well Dezi it was hot. It still is. 

Yep Raena it is. And guess what? It’s gonna get even hotter next month.

     No Way Dezi, really? 

 Raena's sleepy lap selfie

Really. Anyways, Raena got her furst lesson with da shower this week and yes, mommy’s been takin’ her a few places. She’s at a crucial age and needs to be exposed to a variety of situations and people so dat she’ll be used to it once she is fully trained. We’ll talk more ‘bout all dat in future postys. OMC Me almost furgot. Ya’ know mommy never did drugs. She never even tried them. But, her furst college degree was in criminal justice, so she knows what they look and smell like. Mommy took Raena out da other night and they decided to stop at da dollar general. There wasn’t too many cars in da pawrkin’ lot, so mommy thought it would be da purrfect exposure fur Raena. Not so busy as to freak her out but enuff peeps to let her get used to them. Well while they was walkin’ up to da door, mommy saw a mary-joo-wanna joint right there on da ground. She told da lady workin in da store and then watched da lady run outside and pick it up, look ‘round and then put it in her pawcket. OMC  Da lady went and saved dat fur later. MOL  Mommy sure was glad she never did drugs. Alley cats and kittens only know what germs be on dat joint. You fur sure wouldn’t ketch any of us puttin’ it in our mouths.

Well me better wrap it up fur now. Don’t furget to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur da blessings in your life. We purray fur each of ya’ everyday, and ask God to bless and keep you. Ya’ll are da bestest furiends in da universe.

It’s RaenaBelle And I’s Taking Over

Hey? Is anypawdy there? I gotta be quick befur sis Dezi figgers out dat I’s on her bloggy. Mommy says it’s our bloggy, but Dezi keeps tellin’ me her name’s at da top, so she gives da orders. She says dat ‘bout a lot of things, but I don’t always lissen. Like, she thinks she should be da only one eatin’ outta her plate. But I think da food taste better in her plate, and don’t see why she doesn’t wanna share?. After all, we are sisfurs. And her pawdee box, it’s…well, I better get on with it, or she’ll come lookin’ fur me.

 Raena laying by the Kong play tent

We made it thru da furst of da three inspections, and there wasn’t any purroblems. Da mean manager lady started botherin’ mommy da minute she opened da office yesfurday; callin’ mommy ‘bout da lease stuffs. Oh, and mommy innerviewed a really nice little girl to help her ‘round da house. We really liked her. So, pendin’ her criminal background check, and of course her showin’ up to work, we think we’s got a winner. Paws crossed it all works out. We’ll of course tell ya’ more ‘bout it in da future.

 Raena site on the arm of the chair by mommy

Anyways, da real reason I got on here today is cuz I need rescuin’. Yep, I do. I heard mommy and sis Dezi talkin’ ‘bout da mean ole VET place and how I was goin’ back there today. Dat just don’t seem right. Sissy only had to be stuck once, so why do I have to keep goin’ back? Seems like abuse to me. You know mommy is pawsum, I luvs her very much. And sis Dezi ain’t bad either. All in all, I luvs mines furever home, but this VET thing could be a deal breaker. I mean, what are kitten vaccines and core vaccines and just why do I need ‘em? Da last time we was there mommy purromissed this wasn’t somethin’ I would have to go through all da time. Seems to me dat it wasn’t dat long ago and I was goin’ thru it. And, I’ve been havin’ to take this nasty tastin’ yellow medicine and mines eyes and nose are still runny. So there. Just what is it dat these VETs know anyways? 

 Raena peeking out of the stroller

Raena's paw pushing the mesh on the stroller

RaenaBelle Maycee!!! What are you doin’ on me’s bloggy? It’s Furiday and time to join’ da Pet Parade. And we needed to let peeps know what’s been goin’ on and dat we’ll be by to visit them later.

 Dezi and RaenaBelle on the Liberty cat tree

I told them all ‘bout dat sissy. Well, I didn’t get to da Pet Parade thing, but I’s told ‘em ‘bout everythin’ else. 

Well, Okay, but next time you need to ask befur hijackin’ me’s bloggy. 

Mommy says it’s our bloggy, Dezi. 

 Dezi and Raena in a frame surrounded by roses

Of course she does Raena, she doesn’t want you to feel left out, BUT…it’s me’s name at da top. You’d do good to ‘member dat. Anyways, you and mommy gotta get ready to go, so we need to wrap it up. Any purrayers you can spare would be purreciated. Da a/c in da car still doesn’t work and da windows still don’t roll down. And it’s finally hot summer here. And altho mommy believes in getting’ da kitten series of vaccinations, she realizes there is still a certain amount of risks associated with them. Don’t furget to send in your fotos fur our Pawlympics Fly Fishin’ event.
