MOL It’s been so cold dat weez had to stay all cooped up wiff no sun puddles. It’s finally warmed up and there awe lots of sun puddles everywhere and we wanna go fur a stwoll. So weez buggin’ mommy to take us out. Ifin yous gettin’ sum of this nicer winter wedder, then enjoy. And ifin yous still got snow and cold, stay warm. Don’t worry weez’ll be joinin’ ya’ again soon.

Meowllo everypawdy!!! Did yous all make it fwu da festivities and pawties and hoopla of da new year? We had a nice quiet evenin’ at home cuddlin’ in da new year wiff mommy. We turned off da puter and just spent sum quality time bein’ togedder. You know it’s gotten weally cold here lately, so snugglin’ is weally high on ow list. After all isn’t dat what mommy’s awe fur? Yesfurday wuz 21 degwees wiff a chill factor of 17. Dat’s cold fur us. Weez know sum of yous in da single digits and below, but weez hope we don’t get dat this year. Weez can hope. MOL So anyways, today mommy had to get out and go up town fur a bit. We had da door closed so we didn’t weally know how cold it wuz outside. Da neighbor and Buddy’s daddy wuz wheelin’ wound outside in hims short sleeve t-shirt and no shoes. Course hims duz dat all year wound, so we shuldn’t hav paid any tention to hims, but we fawt it must mean it wuz a little warmer today.
Meez helpin’ mommy on da puter.
So mommy called da fawmacy to make sure she wusn’t gettin’ out fur nuffin’, and all wuz a go. She gwabbed hers coat and put on hers shoes and then looked at me and sed, “Okay Dezi, let’s get goin’.” Me stwetched a bit and she opened da fwunt door and…OMC me kuld feel da cold to meez bones. Fur coat or not dat wuz just ungodly cold. Me turned wight wound and went back in fwunt of da lectric fireplace. Mommy giggled and then sed in da sweet mommy voice, you know da one, hers sed, Dezi, oh sweet Dezi. Like me didn’t know what wuz goin’ on. Me knows she wants sumfin’ when she uses dat voice. She kep it up, Dezi she sed, sweetheart, honey, awe you gunna go to town wiff mommy, she sed. Hmmpht Yous finks me wants to go out in dat cold? Awe yous cwazy? Dat’s zactly what me wuz finkin’. Mommy musta went nuts over night ifin she fawt me wanted to leave da warmff of da house to go up town. Purrlease, what’s to see? And then she laid it on weally fick. She put on da pouty face and looked over at me and sed Dezi dawlin’, me knew what wuz comin’ nex, she wanted me to hop up in da stwoller. Me looked at hers and squeeked. And then me put on da pouty face. MOL You know, 2 can play dat game. Me fawt surely she wuz kiddin’, she didn’t weally wanna get out in at cold, did she? It wus so cold dat all da humidity and condensation had turned to ice. Mommy looked at me and laffed. She sed, “Oh sweet Dezi, I was just kidding, I’m fine and not going to be gone that long. I wasn’t goin’ to ask you to get out in this anyways. Whew Me wuz sure glad she didn’t want me to go.
At least weez not hav snow.
She went to get hers purse, and me fawt ’bout it and went and hopped in da stwoller. When mommy got back up fwunt she saw me in da stwoller and sed, “Aaaw Sweety I relly appreciate it, but really, I’m only going to be a few minutes and it would take a lot longer to take you than to just run up town by myself this time.” Me always worries when mommy decides to go sumwhere wiffout me, but when it’s these small little twips me dusn’t worry as much. Mommy left and wuz back home afur me kuld even close meez eyes and fall into nap land again. But she wuz cold fwum da top of her head to da tippy toes. So after she put everyfin’ down and took off hers coat, sis Lexi and me did a cuddlefest and warmed hers back up. So twu to da silly superstition, we spent ow first day of da new year duin’ zactly what we did when da clock stwuck midnight, cuddlin’ wiff mommy.
Dezi: Meowllo evewypawdy. Hope y’all enjoyed yous weekend. Weez had planned to shawe anudder kitty in need tuday, but fings didn’t turn out quite like they wuz posed too. Weez workin’ on a new plan, just bear wiff us. As you all know, weez in da motel now and havin’ a little “vacation”. But yous wanna know what mommy furgot? Do ya’? Well, let me just tell yous anyways. Mommy went off and left da pawdee box scooper and most of ow good toys. Yous shulda seen mommy twyin’ to clean da pawdee box wiff those cheap plastic cups they leave fur yous in motel rooms. Yous know da kind. Da ones dat makes evewypawdy da ‘cwedible hulk; cuz da slightest purressure will cause them to collapse. And of course ow toys awe purrawly safer bein’ locked up in fwunt of ow pawtment cuz me dusn’t cawe how clean da room is, mommy ain’t crawlin’ wound on da floor here to dig ow toys out fwum under da bed.
Hers did bwing a foo milk jug rings (just cuz weez happen to dwop ‘em in hers purrse all da time, and her bwought a bird on a wire type toy. Mommy also furgot to bwing a spoon fur dippin’ da food outta da cans, but hers got one at da Denny’s a foo doors ovew.
Meez on da porch waitin’ fur sis Lexi to join me.
Lexi: Yeah and herz furgawdid to bring minez Barley Cat Dezi. Don’t furgit ‘bout dat. No Barley Cat fur me til weez git back home. Cuz by da time mommy gawdid rownd diz meownin’ it wuz purrawlee too layt to goze back home and git it. Deyz purrawlee dun pact it away on da truck. Mommy better beez glad it still beez warm out and nawt pozt too rayn, or minez arfur-itiz wuld beez aktin’ up sumpin’ pawful.
Dezi: Yep Lexi hers furgot yous Barley Cat, but at least hers did member to bwing da big ole bag o tweats, me saw ’em. And hers sed dat she wuz gunna run ovew to da wally world today and get anudder scoop. Mommy sed a kupple of furiends sent hers a foo cash dollaws and so she’s gunna spend sum of it on us. She also sed she’s wuld look fur yous sum arfur-itis tweats to tide yous ovew, even ifin hers has to go to da Petco.
Lexi: Dat she did Dezi, dat she did. I’z noze mommy will awlwayz tayk grayt kayr of us. Oh yeah I’z furgawdid. Speakin’ ob taykin’ kayr ob us, weez had da golden archez fur dinner lazt nite. Youz noze mommy gawdid a gift kard soz herz gawdid da bacon burger soz weez kuld habz sum bacon. It wuz deeeeeelishuz.
Weez boff here and weady to go. Da neighbors awe wavin’ at us.
Dezi: Oh Lexi it suwe wuz. And hers purromised to giv us sum fur bwekky evewy meownin’ weez here. Since hers gets a fwee bwekky here at da Denny’s, hers sed we kuld hav da bacon. Me bets sweet Sammy and sweet Travis be weally jealous of us. And mommy got a coupon fur a fwee meal at da IHOP wight afur weez unplugged da purrinter. Well anyways, mommy twied to take a video of us dwivin’ ovew, but it’s gettin’ dawker earlier and since weez had to wait till check in time afur weez kuld come over, da video was just black. And of course mommy wuz twyin’ to do it wiff one hand while twyin’ to dwive down da road. Ow mommy not be nearly as sofisticated as Fozziemum.
Dezi: Oh yeah wanna know what else? See mommy’s not da social butterfly of ow pawtemnt complex, and there’s a foo folks there (most of them awe gone now) includin’ da manager of course hoo don’t like mommy. And they lie ‘bout her and say bad fings ‘bout her. Well duwin’ all this mess mommy met a foo of da tenants hoo had lissened to da manager and da udder peeps say bad fings and they believed ‘em and didn’t like mommy cuz of it. Well, ovew da past week, sevewal of them hav come to mommy and pawlogized to hers fur believin’ da nasties dat they hav been told, and bein’ mean to hers. They sed dat mommy wuz vewy sweet and nice and not at all like they had been led to believ. Now of course meez mommy be a little suspicious, but this wuz fur da weals. They hav been dun dirty and hawassed by da manager now too, and so they opened up to meet mommy and found hers a gweat purrsun. So now there’s a foo mowe fighters at da complex. Hopefully afur long weez can dwive da manager off, or get hers fiwed one. Weez not cawe which, so long as she ain’t bullyin’ anypawdy anymowe!!!
Weez in da caw and weady to take off.

So anyways wight afur wees left da mail lady came and ow neighbow mr. W came stwollin’ up da walk and sed hims wuld check ow mail fur us. Mommy gav hims da keys and put meez in da stwollew and gathered up hers fings so wees kuld leav when hims got back. Here hims came and hims had a package and an envelope. When mommy opened da doow hims sed, “Looks like Dezi got all the mail today.” Well it wus early and so mommy opened da stwollew and wees went and sat down tu open da package and da lettew.

But dis wus just a foo days ago so meez fawt fur suwe dat it wuld be a foo weeks afur wees got it. Wees got tu choose which one wees wanted and since sis Lexi luvs evew bwush and comb on da mawket (and purrawlly a foo dat haven’t even been invented yet) wees decided on da long haired deshedding tool fuw meez fur. Guess what?? Meez luvs it!!! 😀 Mommy wus so excited cuz meez not weally likes tu get bwushed. Hers has always been fankful dat meez bweed not mat or else meez kuld be a matted mess da way meez dusn’t sit sits fuw a bwushin’. MOL

Fuw sum weason da pawssibility exists fuw a blowup or fiwe ifin yous caw is wunnin’ while yous pumpin’ gas intu it. Da wind fwum da open windows wusn’t cool at all. Dat wus da hottest 3 minutes of da whole twip. And meez let mommy know dat me wus vewy dis-purrleased ’bout da whole situation. MOL Hers got back in da caw and a/c back on high meez cooled off again and wees wus on ow way.
