Workin’ Through Difficulties

Meowllo evewypawdy. Meez gunna stawt by tellin’ ya’ dat as weez sit here writin’ this posty, ow innewnet service be down. They can’t send anypawdy out till Furiday sumtime to fix it, so weez not suwe how much visitin’ weez gunna get dun tween now and then. Weez asked da new neighbor ifin weez can piggy back off hers signal to get this posted, and hers has agweed. Weez also wanna tell ya’ dat weez got a unwelcome guest in da gawden wight now. Da neighbor had a snake on hers porch earlier yesfurday hoo escaped into da bushes in hers gawden. So weez be a little nervous wight now cuz she didn’t know what kind it wuz (she wuz to skeered), but weez hav rattlers here so weez hopin’ dat not be what it is. 

This ain't da snake outside, cuz nopawdy took a foto of it afur it slinked off under da bushes in da neighbors gawden.
This ain’t da snake outside, cuz nopawdy took a foto of it afur it slinked off under da bushes in da neighbors gawden.

Anyways, weez decided to tell y’all ‘bout how we did ow job duwin’ da past foo mumffs of confusion and mess. As yous all know kitties not like change. But as you also know we not be typical kitties, and change be sumfin’ we handle purretty well. But how do we deal wiff not havin’ da use of da wheelchair fur mommy. Cuz as y’all also know mommy needs da wheelchair in da meownins when hers can’t move. Ifin yous wunnewin’ why weez kuldn’t use da wheelchair, let me splain. It be dangerous to use a wheelchair in wet conditions. Once da cawpet was “dwy”, it wasn’t tacked back down so it got caught up in da wheels and wuldn’t go. So da wheelchair was of no use to us duwin’ da last foo mumffs. Now afur me tells ya’ da stowwy me wants to purreface it by sayin’ weez not tellin’ ya fur sympaffy or pity. Weez tellin’ ya’ fur educational purrpusses only. It’s just da continued stowwy of da life of Service cats.

0dw Dezi n Lexi chair

Let’s begin. Da first meownin’ after da flood nun of us had weally fawt much ‘bout it so of course when we woke up weez did as usual and stawted massagin’ mommys awms and legs. As we did dat da wealization dat da chair wusn’t a pawsibility hit mommy. So when Lexi turned to jump off da bed (to wetwieve da chair), mommy stopped her. Mommy told Lexi and me dat we kuldn’t use da chair. Well as faw as meez concerned, mommy has always used a wheelchair cuz it wuz here afur me. But sis Lexi members a time afur da wheelchair, and so she unnewstood. Sissy meowed at me and pushed me back ovew to mommys awms. See weez nowmally just massage ‘em a little till hers can kinda move hers hands, and by da time wee get to da pawdee box room she be “fawed” out enuff to pull hers selff wound and bwush her teef. But cuz we kuldn’t use da chair, hers needed to be able to use hers whole awms and hands afur gettin’ outta da bed. So we massaged and massaged and massaged sum mowe. Till mommy kuld move hers whole awms and hands. And oh what luvvin’ we got. Wiff boff mommys awms and hands workin’ she petted us and luvved on us till we wuz boff slobbewin’.

Well anyways at this point we wuld nowmally be pushin’ mommy to da chair. But there wuz no chair, so what to do now? Sis Lexi joined me and meowed fur me to push and mommy grabbed da bedside rail and pulled. Sis Lexi and me pushed mommy fwum behind and she pulled fwum da fwunt. Closer and closer to da edge of da bed. She didn’t hav faw to go, aftew all we hav a twin sized hospital bed. We kep pushin’ and mommy kep pullin’ til she finally rolled over the edge and onto the floor. BOOM! Now altho’ mommy’s not fat or nuffin’ dat’s a long ways down and mommy is healffy (in size). Well me ran to da edge of da bed and looked over at mommy layin’ on da floor, and me wuz so worried me jumped down and stawted kissin’ hers cheek. Mommy told me she luvved me and then stawted pullin’ hers selff to da pawdee box room. Sis Lexi and me followed close behind.

When mommy got to da pawdee box room she put her hands on da hooman pawdee box and stawted to pull. Sis Lexi stood behind hers and leaned up against mommys hineybo. So me went ovew and leaned against sis Lexi. And then me stawted cleanin’ sis Lexi’s ears. Pawently not what me wuz posed to do, cuz she let out a big ole hiss. Me hasn’t heard one of those diwected at me in a long time. Yous know dat wuz da hiss weez use fur da neighbor mr. W, or da manager. But there she wuz hissin’ at me. so me backed up a little and stood there watchin’ her and mommy. Mommy wuz still pullin’ and finally got up high enuff dat hers moved one of hers hands to da vanity. And pulled even hawder. Sis Lexi stood evew vigilant watchin’ mommy. Finally mommy got up and leaned against da vanity and opened da pawdee box lid. Me not hav to tell yous what happened nex, and then mommy pulled hers self ovew to da vanity to bwush hers teef. Sis Lexi jumped up on da hooman pawdee box and then da vanity and leaned up against mommy hoo wuz leanin’ on da vanity. Weez will finish this up on meez nex posty.

Mommy’s No Ballerina

OMC What a day weez hav had. Me guesses me shuld stawt wiff last night. Dat’s when it all began. Well as you all know sis Lexi and me sleep in da bed wiff mommy evewy night, and mommy actually carries us to bed. It’s purrawly ow most favowit time of day. Mommy turns off da puter and teevee and tells us it’s time fur night night and then picks us up and carries us to da pawdee box room. Weez all do sum business and usually sis Lexi heads fur da bed first. Hers duz hers pacin’ and twyin’ to jump up on da bed fing and then mommy picks hers up and helps her onto da bed. Hers just can’t jump dat high anymowe. Come on hers be 15 years old. Dat’s why weez askin’ fur help raisin’ gween papers to get hers a set of stairs. (da only fing weez askin’ fur dat didn’t get wuined in da floods cuz weez not hav any to begin wiff) At sum point she’s gotta stawt havin’ sum kinda purrawlems, wight? Anyways mommy helps hers up to da bed and then comes back to da pawdee box room and picks me up and carries me to bed.

0dw Dezi layin on floor wistfully

Once weez all in da bed weez say ow purrayers and fank God fur all da blessings Hims has bestowed on us and then fank Hims fur ow furiends and asks Him to keep a hand on you all and bless you and meet yous needs. Then mommy lays down and Lexi and me stawt in purrin’ and massagin’ mommy to sleep. So last night stawted out da same as any udder night. Mommy turned off da teevee and puter and told us it wuz time to go night night, and then picked me up. Evewy once in a while Lexi will walk to da back by hers selff, and last night wuz one of those nights. So Lexi headed for the pawdee box room and mommy picked me up. Then she turned out da lights and we headed toward da back of da house.

0dw Lexi on bed

Mommy had been goin’ fwu hers magazines and catalogs earlier in da day, and also puttin’ ow catit twack toys back togedder. (weez just luv ow catit twacks) Sum of yous hav been followin’ us long enuff to know meez mommy’s no ballewina, and hers has sum serious nerve damage dat makes hers not always be able to feel hers extwemeties (arms, legs, hands and feet). So anyways, hers picked me up and pulled da little switch on ow new fan/light fixture and turned to walk down da hall. And just then hers lost hers balance. OMC It wuz so skeery. Mommy had put hers foot on one of those slick magazines and it stawted movin’ under da weight of da two of us. Well mommy held me tight and stawted weachin’ out wiff hers furee hand. It all happened so fast and afur weez knew it, mommy and me wuz down. Me wuz close to mommy’’s heart but so skeered meez tinkled a little, and mommy banged hers head. She also got scwatched up a bit.(not meez claws) But hers got up and nevew once let me go. Sis Lexi had weturned and stawted lickin’ mommy’s booboos and then we all went to da back; and eventually went to sleep.

0dw Dezi n Lexi bed praying

When mommy woke up today she realized how much damage she did. Hers legs and feet wuz all swelled up and hurtin’, and she had bruises up one side and down da udder. Da hand she used to bwace ow impact is weally sore and typin’is vewy hawd fur hers. So weez will be takin’ it easy and makin’ weally short comments till hers hand gets all better. There wuz nuffin’ weez kulda dun to stop it, but weez suwe did wish weez kulda. Weez gave mommy extwa massages last night and will again tonight. Cuz as me sed, Mommy’s no ballewina. MOL

As weez inched furward, sis Lexi ran past us, and not wantin’ hers to get to da pawdee box room afur us, meez pushed da joystick furward as faw as it wuld go. It’s okay, mommy turns da speed down to only 2 baws at night so weez can’t actually go much faster than ‘bout a mile an hour. ‘Cept sumtime in da night, Lexi or me (not tellin’ hoo) accidentally tuwned on da chair and hit da speed button and tuwned it up to all da baws. So me and mommy took off like lightnin’, meez means white lightnin’ fur suwe. Weez wusn’t playin’ wound dat’s fur suwe. We wuz flyin’. Soarin’ wiff da twin jets we wuz. Open-mouthed smile Course da jolt weez got fwum da chair takin’ off had purrpelled us boff backwards and me twyin’ to keep hold of da joystick pulled it back so weez went in wevewse. BOOM!!!
