Blest Sunday: Friends Are Forever

MeOW Hisssssss  What is that noise?!! Me thinks it’s givin’ me mommy’s migraine.

          Yeah sissy, after the furst couple of hours I’s gettin’ a little annoyed too. I’s think I’s saw steam comin’ outta mommy’s ears at one point last night. I’s know I’s did this meownin’. There we was watchin’ church and tryin’ to purray when all of a sudden, Boom, Boom, Boom, plopplopplop went the ball.

 

That sure does get on one’s nerves. Fur the furst few hours the kid bounced that ball up and down the sidewalk. But, once she moved to the pawrkin’ lot by the cars and started throwin’ the thing in the air and tryin’ to ketch it, me thought mommy was gonna lose it. You know mommy’s always sayin’, “Our car ain’t brand new, but it’s the only car we have, and nopawdy ‘round here has the money to fix it or replace it ifin their grandkids break it.”

          Pawrently some of our newer neighbors feel the same way, sissy. I’s heard somepawdy holler at her last night. Anyways, it’s Blest Sunday and you know we’ve got purrlenty to give fanky fanks fur.

You’re so right Raena. Mr. Sunshine has made an appearance more than once this past week. It was still too cold to be goin’ fur a stroll, but, it sure was nice to see.

 

 Raena sits in box

 

 

 

          Yep sissy, and we didn’t have to wait another 6 months to get our new powerchair adjusted. Mr. Travis the wheelchair man came out Furiday and raised the seat so mommy can not only see the counter now, she can reach it too. I’s do believe she even got our brekky made faster than usual cuz of it.

 

 

It does seem that way, doesn’t it Raena?. Me’s not sure she got faster, we just got used to how slow she was when she had to crawl ‘round and try and balance herself up against the counter when we didn’t have a chair. It’s kind’a funny how you can get used to somethin’ ifin ya’ do it long enuff. 

 

          So true sissy, so true. Mommy says ifin ya’ do somethin’ long enuff and offen enuff, it becomes a habit. That’s what she bases her Trainin’ Methods on, Repetition and Rewards.

 

 Dezi lays on heated cat mat

 

 

 

It’s the Rewards pawrt me likes bestest. Me luvs gettin’ hugs and kisses from mommy. 

 

          Me too, sissy. Me too. Hey, did you see the nice mail we got this week? Fanky fank ya’ awnty. The green papers you sent sure will come in handy. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes and even sometimes from where ya’ least x’spect ‘em.

 

God always looks out fur us Raena. We also got another blessin’. We’ve had mommy workin’ on those songs that were requested, unfurtunately, she’s been a little sick and has a sore throat. So, it’s gonna be a bit longer befur we get ‘em posted. Right now she sounds like a frog. MOL  But, we did get some new camera batteries. Fanks to awnty Vonda and awnty Cindy, mommy’s gonna have to try to figure out how to take a video of herself.

 

 Raena lays on heated cat mat

 

 

 

          Oh she can take a video of herself sissy, it just doesn’t happen to be of her face. MOL  Ya’ know, we have a point and shoot camera, so mommy can’t actually see what she’s pointin’ at when she’s in front of the thing and not behind it.

 

You’re right Raena. Altho’ me doesn’t think anypawdy wants to sit and watch mommy’s chest. 

 

          Purrobably not sissy. Oh well, she’ll figger somethin’ out, she always does. We’re blest to have a clever mommy.

And, a nice warm home and all our things and all our amazin’ furiends. Just a few days ago, one of those furiends joined sis Lexi in heaven. We were so sad to hear Timmy’s brofur Mr. Buttons had to leave this world. Uncle Pete and furmily, ya’ll are in our purrayers. We know that Buttons was well luvved and had a pawsumly amazin’ life. He will be missed, but we will always be blest to have had him in our lives. Purrlease say a purrayer fur his furmily.

  

          I’s sure don’t unnerstand why our furiends have to leave us sissy?. But, I’s sure glad that when they do, they get to be young and healthy again.

And, we’ll see ‘em again someday Raena, don’t worry. Even in death there is a blessing. Furiendship and luv lasts furever. We’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your life.

          We’re also linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. We’ve spent the weekend chillin’ on our new heated cat mat. I’s gonna get a quick bath so we can go visitin’.

 

Me too, Raena. Here’s to everypawdy stayin’ warm. 

 

Till the next time…………………………………………Be Blest!!!

Blest Sunday: It’s Finally Here

(Dezi looks up from her breakfast and yawns. She looks around and sees Raena and mommy A yawning too. Mommy A takes a sip of her hot steamy coffee and Raena begins to cover her breakfast with the imaginary “dirt”, toys, tissue paper and anything else close by before heading to the cat tree for a bath and some bird t.v.. Dezi takes a few more bites of breakfast before meowing.) Me sure hopes we can get some sleep tonight.

 

 Raena yawns while laying in the stroller

 

 

 

          (Raena stretches and meows) Me too sissy. I’s know we stayed up fur a good reason, but I’s sure am tired. You’re so tired you didn’t even run when the thunder clapped outside.

 

Dezi sits pretty in front of door

 

 

 

Thunder? Was that thunder? Me thought that was the neighbor again. Ya’ know, she’s been keepin’ her toddler grandson and he keeps escapin’ and comin’ over here to bang on our door or play in mommy’s garden.

 

          I’s don’t know why he’d wanna play in the garden, sissy. Everythin’s dead now. Did you see him push his face against the door tryin’ to peek inside?

 

Yep Raena, his face was more smashed than yours. Who knew the human face could do that? MOL

 

          Yeah sissy, (Raena shakes her head) fanky fank the cats he didn’t come in. He was puttin’ everythin’ in his mouth. Can you ‘magine how slobbery our toys would’a been?

(Dezi and Raena shudder.) Fank you mommy, fur not openin’ the door. MOL  Hey, what did you think ‘bout the surpurrise box mommy got? 

 

 

 Raena checks out box from Valentine

Oh MeOW What a box!!!

 

 

 

          Oh sissy, I’s luvs it. Mommy was so x’cited. She cried and cried. She said they were the happy tears, and I’s sure they were. She also did a little jumpin’ ‘round. She only does that when she’s happy. That Valentine and awnty Kerry sure were sweet to send mommy a new bag. Somewhere along the way, it got delayed, but when it furinally got here, mommy was thrilled. What most peeps don’t know ‘bout mommy, is that befur her accident when she worked, she had a bag fur every occasion. Ya’ know, they were really nice bags, mommy was a bit of a bag snob she says. I’s don’t think mommy could be snobby ‘bout anythin’, but, she says that’s what peeps call it when you’re a bit purrticular ‘bout somethin’. 

 

 Dezi and Raena check out mommy's new purse sent by Valentine and Kerry

This is such a pawsum bag, ain’t it Raena?!!

 

 

 

Me ‘members some of those bags Raena. Unfurtunately, a few bags got peed in by sick kitties; and some kitty, not me, chewed the straps off one of her bags. Fankfully, we’re good kitties, so mommy’s new bag’s in no danger of bein’ chewed by us. We’ll just have to watch out fur the neighbors grandson. MOL What a blessing mommy got. Fank ya’ll bunches, we all luv the new bag.

          We didn’t think our week could get any better, and then the fone rang with some really x’citin’ news. Mommy’s been fallin’ out of the bed and crawlin’ ‘round the house fur over 6 months waitin’ fur our new wheelchair. Ya’ know, uncle Sam doesn’t get in a hurry to do anythin’. But, it’s furinally happened!!! The new wheelchair is furinally here!!!

 

Dezi checks out the new Powerchair

Oooooh It’s got a nice soft cushion too.

Yep Raena, that’s why we’re all so tired and sleepy. Well, that and the weather. Travis the wheelchair man wanted to come out furst thing in the meownin’ to deliver mommy’s new wheelchair. Since mommy can’t walk in the meownin’s and she can’t reach the door knob from the floor, we had to stay awake all night. Mommy won’t teach us to unlock the door, so we’re no help. We think the neighbor thought she was getting’ one too, cuz she’s been bangin’ on the walls at all hours of the day and night fur the last couple of days. And then, the weather went from below zero one day to the low 70’s the next. Now, ifin that don’t throw ya’ into a tailspin, me doesn’t know what will.

 

 Raena lays in the new Powerchair

It’s soft alright sissy. I’s luvs it.

 

 

 

          That’s all true sissy. But we sure are happy to have a wheelchair again. We’ll be meowin’ more ‘bout it in our Service Cat posty’s startin’ in February. Believe it or not, we got a ton of questions ‘bout addin’ a new powerchair when the last one broke. In the meantime, we’re just feelin’ really blest that mommy doesn’t have to crawl ‘round in the meownin’ any more. WooHoo

 

 Dezi climbs on the new powerchair

Hmmmmm Me thinks the arms just might be wide enuff

fur me to stand on.

 

 

 

Fur sure Raena. We’ve had another week of outta this world blessings. And, another week with the mostest pawsumest furiends in the universe. Fank you all fur bein’ a pawrt of our lives. We luv ya’ll sooooooooooo much. We wanna remind you to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. 

 

 Raena gets loving while laying in mommy's lap and squints for the camera

 

 

 

          Don’t furget sissy, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. We’ve got some great wheelchair plandids and mommy’s new bag shots fur ya’. I’s think we oughtta finish brekky sissy and go take a nap with mommy. We’ve gotta take advantage of the quiet while it’s here.

 

Sure ‘nuff Raena. See ya’ll soon.

 

Till the next time…………………………………………Be Blest!!!

Blest Sunday: Giving And Receiving Blessings

MeeeeOW  What a week it’s been, huh Raena?. 

 

 Blest Sunday purple kitty clip art graphic

 

 

          That’s fur sure sissy. One day it was fureezin’ and the next mr. Sunshine graced us with his purresence fur a couple of hours.

 

Yep, and the next, the wind was blowin’ so hard it sounded like thunder and rain. The weather guessers said it was blustery out.

 

 Raena lays on chair back, selfie

 

 

 

          Blustery. Now what does that even mean sissy?

 

Dezi lays in mommy's lap

 

 

Well Raena, me knows what it looked and sounded like to me, but let’s ask the lady in the box. She should do somethin’ besides just sit there and beep all day. 

 

          She does sissy, don’t you hear mommy yellin’ at her to stop? And when that doesn’t work, she tries to tell her to shut up. Mommy says sayin’ shut up isn’t nice, so she must really get furustrated with the box lady sometimes. 

 

 Amazon echo dot

 

 

 

Yeah Raena, me wonders ifin other peeps with the box lady has to constantly tell her to be quiet too? Anyways, let’s find out what she has to say ‘bout blustery.

 

     Echo Dot: Blustery means “blowing in violent and abrupt bursts” 

 

Hmmmm  Well, me guesses 50 to 75 mph is fur sure violent.

 

          Guess so sissy. The leaves sure thought so, they were blowin’ ‘round everywhere. And, it made it feel soooooo cold, even inside the house. Which reminds me, did you see all the goodies that came in that recycled Chewy box from Pipo and awnty Ingrid? 

 

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

Me sure did, Raena. Back when our ‘pawrtment flooded and got all packed up and remodeled, mommy found a few things went missin’. Among those missin’ items was mommy’s coat. Unfurtunately, there wasn’t anythin’ mommy could do ‘bout it. But, it did make fur some really cold outings in the winter time. Mommy never made a very big deal of it, but, every winter she would be reminded ‘bout that pawful time in our lives. Well, this winter just got so cold and mommy was out in it more than usual, so we happened to mention it in passin’ the other day.

 

 Dezi and Raena check out the tosy from Pipo

Look’it Raena, they sent goodies fur us too.

 

 

 

          And that’s when Pipo and awnty Ingrid got an idea. They happened to have some coats and sweaters layin’ ‘round after their awnty went to heaven, and decided to pass ‘em along to mommy. I’s just luvs the dark blue one. Oh Kittens is it soft and dreamy feelin’.

 

 Dezi with treats from Pipo on cat scratcher

Treats too?!!

 

 

 

It is nice Raena. Me likes the duster. Mommy’s always been a little of a cowgirl, and the duster looks really good on her. We sure are grateful fur such pawsum furiends. Mommy cried and cried fur like, ever.

 

 Raena plays with gift from Pipo and Ingrid

A mew wand toy and a bag of nip. Yesssssss

 

 

 

          Yep sissy, she did. Altho’ I’s not sure which made her happier, the coats and sweaters, the M&M’s, the cookies or the coffee?. I’s think the whole box was purretty pawsum. They even included some toys, treats and nip fur us.

 

Yep Raena, mommy can keep her cookies, coffee and M&M’s, me was all over our new mousies.

 

          I’s really like the wand toy, sissy. I’s just luvs a good inneractive play session with mommy.

 

Who are you kitten Raena? You just luv to play. We are so blest. Ya’ know, we’ve won a few contests lately that we haven’t had the chance to post ‘bout.

 

 Raena rolls around on new nip mat from Ellen

Oh awnty Ellen I’s luvs your nip mats.

 

 

 

          Sure ‘nuff sissy. We won this stuffs called Kit Tea from our furiend Cody. We’re actually s’posed to drink it, but we luvs just playin’ with the herb filled bags. And, mommy luvs the little tins they came in. She says they make a great nip meow-inator fur our older toys. And we got a package from mine’s godmother awnty Ellen that was just full of surpurrises. A little bit ago, the Whiskeratti gang was tryin’ to get green papers fur Toby’s dental work; and awnty Ellen said that she would make one of her Made with Love nip mats and some toys fur those who donated to the fundraiser. She had to limit it to those in the U.S. cuz she’s had a few sick kitties recently too and green papers are short.

 

Dezi plays with toy from EllenFanks awnty Ellen, me just luvs your Made with Love toys.

 

 

 

We know all ‘bout the shortage of green papers, don’t we Raena? Anyways, seems our sweet furiends from Hairballs and Hissyfits donated their Made with love nip mat and toys to us.

 

 Raena plays with toys from Ellen

Nip toys too. Fanky fanks awnty Ellen.

 

 

 

          That awnty Ellen be so talented, sissy. Fanky fank ya’ Frodo, Zulu and the gawjus Amarula and awnty Ellen. We luvs our new mat and toys. We are so blest sissy.

 

 Dezi with mouth open over nip toy from Ellen

Fank you awnty Ellen and Hairballs and Hissyfits.

 

 

 

 

We are Raena. And meowin’ of give aways, we should remind everypawdy that we have a great give away goin’ on right now. Check it out here and be sure to enter. It’s open to all U.S. and U.K. residents. Well, we better wrap it up now. We’re really late and me has plans later today. As always, we’d like to remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give Thanks fur the blessings in your life.

          Don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies, sissy. Seems it’s not been a great year fur them so far. We actually have quite a few furiends who are sick right now. So we’d also ask that you send up a little purrayer fur all in blogville.

 

You’re right Raena. Let’s go say a few purrayers now. 

 

Till the next time………………………………………Be Blest!!!

Blest Sunday: Is It The Year of Declutter

(Dezi stretches and yawns and moves up between mommy’s legs to start the morning massage routine. Mommy A looks down at Dezi and wonders what time it is since the bedroom’s still so dark. Raena joins Dezi and they help mommy A get up and get to the bathroom to start the day. Mommy A opens the door and they all look out at the dark gloomy sky.)  Oh Raena, me sure hopes you enjoyed the chirpin’ birdies the other day. Looks like Old man Winter showed back up today. 

 

 Raena lays on cat tree

 

 

 

          Old man Winter? That looks more like Rumblin’ Storms. I’s not heard anythin’, but it sure looks like we could befur the day’s over. You ain’t gonna go into hidin’ are ya’? 

 

Dezi sits pretty in front of door

 

 

How many times does me have to tell ya’? Me’s not hidin’ Raena, me’s purrtectin’ you and mommy by checkin’ fur intruders. You’d be surpurrised what kinda pesky critters can get inside the house.

 

 

 Mommy A's ouchie

 

 

 

          Sure sissy, whatever you say. Anyways, It’s Blest Sunday, and storms or not, I’s feelin’ Blest. Ya’ know we went to see mommy’s doctor the other day and she showed him her ouchie from that fall. He gave her a good once over and took somethin’ called an x-ray and said fanky fankfully, she didn’t break it, but ‘pawrently she chipped it, a bone that is. I’s don’t know what that means, but he said it’s gonna take a good 6 months befur all the swellin’ goes down and it stops hurtin’. Mommy said she’d chipped a bone befur and while the pain might eventually go away, old man arfur-itis is gonna visit fur the rest of her life. We’re just grateful she didn’t do any real damage.

 

 Dezi lays in mommy's lap

 

 

 

Sure ‘nuff Raena. She sure does get x’cited tho’ when we try to massage it. MOL Ya’ know, we were readin’ one of our furiends bloggy’s the other day and they were meowin’ ‘bout de-clutterin’. Mommy said this year she was gonna be doin’ some of that herself.

 

 Raena sniffs nail file, selfie

Hmmmmm Ifin mommy throws out our stuffs we’ll

just have to play with her stuffs. MOL

 

 

 

 

          Does that mean she’s gonna throw stuffs away? She better not be thinkin’ ‘bout throwin’ any of our stuffs away. Maybe we need to get some post its like our furiend Bear.

 

What on earth fur Raena?

 

          So we can mark all our stuffs so mommy doesn’t throw somethin’ out by mistake.

 

Oh Purrlease, mommy’s not gonna throw our stuffs out. Least me doesn’t think so??. Me’s sure the de-clutterin’ will include all her stuffs. Ya’ know, she don’t need half the stuffs in that closet. Ifin she threw most of it out, maybe we could go in there and see what it’s all ‘bout.

 

          That sounds like fun sissy. I’s think mommy’s bringin’ our brekky. We better go eat. We sure are blest to have such a luvvin’ mommy.

 

 Dezi sits with tongue out in front of door

Mmmmmmm Did Somepawdy say brekky?

 

 

 

We are at that Raena. Blessings come in all forms. We’d like to remind everypawdy to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your life. And we really do wanna fank you all fur bein’ a pawrt of our lives.

 

Raena lays on the Liberty cat tree

 

 

          Don’t furget, we’re linkin’ up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies
