Blest Sunday: Hidden Blessings

Published on April 30, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.32 Comments

MeeeeeOW Welcome to a brand mew Blest Sunday. Ya’ll know how much we luv our Blest Sunday’s, and this week is no different. You know, sometimes the blessings are in your face and ya’ can’t miss ‘em. And sometimes, ya’ have to look a little harder fur them; but either way, they’re always there. As most of ya’ know, sis Raena’s furst birthday was last Furiday, and she got lots of gifts, that she’s sharin’ with me by the way; and we had a great pawrty. But the fun didn’t stop there. As ya’ll saw in our last posty, the gifts kept comin’.

They sure did sissy. I’s luvs birthdays. And I’s luvs, luvs, luvs our furiends.

Me does too Raena. And we’ve still got a birthday pizza comin’. Me really purreciates you waitin’ fur the weather to clear up so me can enjoy it too.

No purroblem sissy. It wouldn’t be the same ifin you wasn’t out to enjoy it too. Awnty Anonymous even sent enuff green papers fur mommy to get somethin’ to celebrate with us.

Well Raena, speakin’ of awnty Anonymous, we wanna say a meowsy big fank you again, cuz she sent mommy some more noms this past week. Mommy had actually spoke with her on the fone and knew these things were comin’, she just didn’t know when. So when the furst box arrived, mommy was taken by sur-purrise and as usual, she had a long fankful cry.

Those gifts and mommy’s noms would be the in your face blessings you were meowin’ ‘bout, right sissy?

That’s right Raena. But, we’ve also had some of those not so in your face blessings this past week.

Do tell sissy. I’s not know how you’re seein’ all these blessings while hidin’ out UTB (under the bed).

Me told you, me’s not hidin’ Raena, me’s bein’ safe. And me wasn’t UTB the whole time. Me was drivin’ mommy to the bathroom every meownin’. And me came out to eat and play a few games and even nap a few times…till the thunder boomers started. Me was even doin’ really good this meownin’ till you jumped into the door tryin’ to get that birdy.

Well, who knew the door wasn’t gonna open. That birdy’s lucky I’s couldn’t get to it. Hoverin’ at our door tauntin’ me like that, it deserved whatever it was gonna get.

Yeah, Uh Huh, Sure. (Dezi licks her fur) Raena, the mighty huntress. Like you would’a even known what to do with that birdy ifin you could’a got to it.

Are you doubtin’ mine’s exceptional huntin’ skills sissy? Cuz you know mommy says I’s the greatest huntress in the house.

Mommy says a lot of things Raena. Ya’ notice she said in the house, and not somethin’ like, in the universe?.

I’s don’t know what you’re meowin’ ‘bout sissy. Mommy doesn’t lie. So all I’s know, is that I’s the Great Huntress. Now, let’s get back to those hidden blessings you were meowin’ ‘bout a minute ago.

Yeah, we better do that befur me says somethin’…

Anyways, as most of our furiends know, mommy had some complications from her recent oral surgery. After havin’ a loose stitch removed at her 2 week recheck, a hole opened inside mommy’s mouth up into her sinuses. Not only was it gross, aggravating and painful, it was also dangerous and could’a required a second surgery to close that hole. We asked our furiends to join us in purrayin’ that the hole would safely close on it’s own and that mommy would be okay. And guess what? The last couple of days have been pawsum. Ain’t nuffin’ comin’ outta mommy’s nose that isn’t s’posed too. She can brush her teeth, swish, gargle, eat and drink without worryin’ ‘bout it comin’ out her nose again. What a blessin’ that is. Mommy’s gonna have to check with the surgeon to see when she can purrceed with the rest of the work she needs done. And hopefully, we’ll have enuff green papers to finish all the work so mommy will feel all better.

Ifin mommy gets all better sissy, will she not need us to be Service Cats anymore?

No, Raena. Mommy will still need us to be Service Cats. The work we do doesn’t have anythin’ to do with mommy’s teeth purroblems. She’s always gonna need us Raena, don’t worry.

Fanky fanks sissy. I’s luvs mine’s life, mommy and you. I’s wouldn’t wanna live anywhere else.

You don’t ever have to worry ‘bout that Raena. When mommy told you it was furever, she meant it. Mommy also said it was a blessin’ to watch you experience all the fursts this year. Mommy said, at her age, she’s furgotten a lot of the wonders in life and nature. But watchin’ you get x’cited by the wind, or seein’ your furst birdy up close, or you tryin’ to smell the dandelion befur the wind blows it’s seed petals away remind her how purrecious and fragile this life is.

Did you see that wind sissy? It’s whoopin’ those trees ‘round like they ain’t even there. I’s didn’t think those ole branches could move like that. Mommy called it the dance of Spring.

Ya’ can’t actually see wind Raena. But me did see those branches dancin’ ‘round out there. Me can hear ‘em scrapin’ the roof too. Me just hopes they all stay on the trees and don’t break off and break anythin’. The point is, blessings are all ‘round us, we just have to take a minute and see ‘em. As we do every week, we’d like to remind everypawdy to take a moment today and every day to give Thanks fur the blessings in your lives. And we wanna fank you all fur bein’ our furiends and sharin’ your lives with us.

Don’t furget ‘bout the Sunday Selfies with the Kitties Blue sissy. I’s gotta go back to the door and watch fur that birdy to come back.

See ifin you can find a sun puddle too Raena.

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

Blest Sunday: All Partied Out

Published on April 23, 2017April 23, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.44 Comments

MeOW Raena, did you enjoy your pawrty?

Oh sissy, I’s sure did!!! What fun. And so many of our pawsum furiends came by. I’s such a blest kitty girly.

Yep Raena, we sure are. Me had a great time too, even tho’ it is stormin’ here. Me’s gotta tell ya’, you looked so funny chasin’ those nip bubbles ‘round the house. Mommy even found one you missed this meownin’ when she sat down in the sittin’ lift chair.

Those bubbles sure are a lot of fun. All those red dot kitties don’t know nuffin’ ‘bout disappearin’ prey. Every time I’s thought I’d caught one, it was gone. One even hit me on the nose, but befur I’s could ketch it, it disappeared.

MOL Me saw that, Raena. We don’t play the red dot game here, cuz mommy says we’re too smart curious. ‘Stead of tryin’ to ketch the red dot, we go straight fur the source; the light in mommy’s hand. Mommy says that’s dangerous fur kitties to stare into the lasered red dot. But we did enjoy those bubbles.

Yeah sissy, it’s too bad mommy ran outta breath, cuz I’s sure was havin’ fun chasin’ all the bubbles.

Well, there was lots of bubbles still floatin’ ‘round in the air even after mommy ran outta breath. Me’s sure she’ll play the bubble game with us again. ‘Specially now that she knows we like ‘em.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I’s sure hope so sissy. Did you see all the cards I’s got yesfurday (blog links listed as comment)? And, I’s can’t wait till the weather clears up enuff fur us to have mine’s Birthday pizza. Awnty Anonymous sent mommy some green papers and told her to get us a Birthday pizza. But since you hang out UTB when it storms, mommy said we have to wait to have it, so you can enjoy it too. Maybe ya’ oughtta think ‘bout not hidin’ away so much.

Me’s not hidin’ Raena, me’s just bein’ safe. All the news peeps say to stay away from windows and glass durin’ storms. So there. Me’s the smartest kitty in the house.

Yeah, Okay sissy, you’re not hidin’, you’re just bein’ “safe”. MOL

You won’t be laffin’ ifin any of those storms actually break our windows while you’re lookin’ out.

But sissy, that birdy that built her nest in one of mommy’s old pot baskets is so much fun to watch. Did you hear her callin’ mommy names the other day?

Me sure did Raena. Now that was funny. Mommy went out to trim the wisteria, and that ole momma bird was so mad. She flew into the big old oak tree in our front lawn and squawked and cackled at mommy the whole time she was out there. Guess she didn’t know that mommy would never hurt her babies. The really funny pawrt was when she came flyin’ in fur the attack when mommy was tryin’ to take fotos of her babies.

Oh sissy, that was funny. Mommy was tryin’ to swoosh her away with one hand and focus on the babies with the other. Mommy’s wanted to take more fotos, cuz the baby birds be growin’ so fast, but she doesn’t wanna face the wrath of momma bird again. MOL Mommy didn’t get any fotos of the momma bird. Mommy says she wouldn’t coopurrate. MOL

Yep Raena, mommys’ sure can be furocious when they’re purrtectin’ their young; no matter what size they are, or the purredators size.

You’re so right sissy. And mommy unnerstands that cuz that’s the way she feels ‘bout us.

Sure ‘nuff, Raena. We are blest to have such a pawsum mommy. Speakin’ of mommy, we need to update everypawdy ‘bout her complications. Ya’ know, we told everypawdy that mommy’s upper teeth has roots that were embedded in her sinuses. That’s not a good thing. But mommy was followin’ all the instructions and bein’ really careful, so when she went in fur her recheck, the surgeon was really purrleased with how well mommy was healing. But, she had a stitch that had been hangin’ down, and rubbin’ her tongue fur days. When the doctor looked at it, she said it was ‘bout to fall out, so she went ahead and removed it. They thought everythin’ was fine till the next meownin’. Altho’ thinkin’ it was a fluke, mommy didn’t call the doctor that day. And then the same thing happened off and on all last weekend. So furst thing Monday, mommy called the doctor to report that she now had an openin’ into her sinuses. ‘Pawrently, that stitch was holdin’ that hole closed.

I’s got really worried ‘bout mommy, sissy. Cuz she said it’s not just gross and aggravating, it also hurts. Fankfully, the dentist put mommy on another round of antibiotics, more Sudafed and told her not to blow her nose fur another 2 weeks.

Yep, Raena. They’re hopin’ the hole will close on it’s own so mommy won’t have to have another more serious surgery. And the antibiotics are to help make sure mommy doesn’t get an infection. Seems the Sudafed is harder to get than mommy’s purrscription meds. ‘Pawrently, the active ingredient is used a lot here to make meth. What does mommy know ‘bout meth and drug makin’? Anyways, mommy can only buy a certain nummer of boxes a day, week and month. And she has to sign fur them, and purrvide her drivers license and get her foto taken each time. One box lasts one day. Is that crazy or what? Me sure hopes she doesn’t have to take this stuff fur long.

Me too sissy. We’ve been so blest, that mommy hasn’t had any more purroblems, so we’re purrayin’ really hard fur this hole to close soon, so mommy can start feelin’ better and get on to the other bad teethies.

Yes we are Raena. And we’re so blest to have so many furtastic furiends to help us purray fur mommy. Every time we think ‘bout our furiends, we are so humbled to be so blest. From purrayers to luv and suppurrt and even gifts, we have the bestest furiends in the universe. We wanna remind you all to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur the blessings in your lives. We’re gonna wrap it up now and get some rest. We’re all pawrtied out.

Speak fur yourself sissy. (Raena yawns) I’s not pawrtied out. MOL We’re joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies.

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

Blest Sunday: Chatting Cats and Abundance

Published on April 9, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.34 Comments

Well, we furinally made it to Blest Sunday, Raena.

We sure did, sissy. I’s gotta tell ya’, with all the crazies mommy’s been goin’ thru, I’s wasn’t so sure we’d make it. The management tried to sneak in a second inspection this month, and mommy just ‘bout passed out at the doctor’s office. Mommy’s been really tired this last week. Y, just the other day we was visitin’ one of our furiends and next thing I’s knew, mommy had done nodded off right in the middle of readin’ the posty to us.

Yep, me noticed that Raena. Me knows she’s feelin’ better now that the worst of the teethies are gone, but ‘pawrently, baked, smashed taters and Malt o Meal don’t give her any energy. We are so fankful to Uncle and Awnty Hauck, and Hermes, Chip and Chessie fur sendin’ mommy some Malt O Meal cuz the stores here in town still don’t have any in stock; and mommy’s ‘bout tired of taters. MOL

And one of our Anonymous Angels sent mommy some Malt O Meal, Chocolate Mini Muffins, and a big ole bag of M&M’s plain chocolate candies. Mommy says a meowsy big Fank You. She can’t wait to sink her gums into one of those muffins. And while we’re on the subject of mommy’s teethies, we wanna say that mommy has a ride to her follow up ‘pointment this week. We furgot to announce that and a couple of ya’ was askin’. We also would like to say, ya’ don’t need an excuse to come and visit. We luv meetin’ up with our furiends in the fur to face.

We sure do Raena. You’ve actually never met any of our furiends, but me has. They’re so pawsum. We are so very blest to have such amazin’ furiends. Maybe someday, we’ll get to go back to BlogPaws, and you’ll get to meet a lot of them like me did.

That would be so furtastic, sissy. I’s would luvs that. Hey, did you see mine’s furst birthday purresent?

Yeah Raena, me saw that.

I’s was so excited when mommy said awnty Vonda sent me a purresent fur mine’s birthday like she did fur you. I’s wanna say fanky fank you. It was so much fun watchin’ mommy try to put it together. She was all thumbs. Ya’ know we kitties envy those thumbs humans have, but I’s gotta tell ya’, sometimes they can’t do nuffin’ right. MOL Mommy says so far, she’s really luvvin’ the Litter Genie. And I’s luvvin’ usin’ it fur a springboard and a purrch fur checkin’ out everythin’ in the pawdee box room I’s can’t see from the floor.

Is there anythin’ you won’t climb on, Raena? Ya’ know, at some point you’re gonna be too big to jump on everythin’. And besides, mommy hates it when ya’ jump on the ledge of the kitchen trash can.

Yep, sissy, she’s constantly goin’ on ‘bout how we’re not heathens, or white trash. I’s not even know what those things mean. I’s just know that sometimes, there’s somethin’ in there that smells purretty good.

Maybe Raena, but you really should stay down. We get purrlenty to eat, and treats too. You know how blest we are. We’ve not had empty bellies since mommy found us and gave us a furever home. And we’ve never wanted fur luv or furiends. We have the most amazinly pawsum lives. And just think, it’s only 2 more weeks till your furst birthday.

You’re so right, sissy. And I’s can’t wait fur mine’s birthday. We wanna say a meowsy big fank you to all our furiends. We are so blest to have ya’ll in our lives. We hope you’ll take a minute today and every day to give fanks fur the many blessings in your lives.

Fanks Raena, you did good. We’re also joinin’ the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. And we hope everypawdy has a great week.

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

Blest Sunday: Moving in Slow Motion

Published on March 12, 2017 by Service Cats U.S.43 Comments

(Mommy fumbles around in the kitchen making Dezi and Raena’s breakfast and mumbles something about the time)

Hey, sissy? What’s mommy mumblin’ ‘bout? Is it already brekky time? I’s not sure I’s really hungry yet. I’s know I’s not ready to hunt. ketch and kill anythin’.

Don’t let mommy hear you meowin’ that, we’ll never get brekky furst thing in the meownin’ again. Seems humans think they know better than God and change their clocks a couple times a year.

What does that mean, they change the clocks? What does a clock have to do with anythin’?

Oh Raena, the clock has Eeeverythin’ to do with everythin’ humans do. Even our mommy. The clock tells them when to get up, when to go to sleep, when to work, when to eat…

When to eat?!!! Why don’t they just go on tummy time? It works fur us.?

Ya’ think? You wanna know a secret?

A secret? Of course I’s wanna know a secret. What is it?

Calm down, mommy’ll think you’re tryin’ to rush her. The secret is, we think we run on our tummy time. But the truth is, mommy programmed our tummy clocks to the humans clocks so that our tummy time alarm goes off at the time mommy wants it too. Mommy’s a sneaky one, ya know.

What? What are you meowin’ ‘bout sissy? Our tummies have clocks? Did mommy furget to change them last night? Cuz really, I’s not think I’s hungry yet.

Trust me, by the time mommy gets our brekky ready, you will be. The hands on the clock may have moved fast an hour, but mommy’s movin’ in slow motion. Happens fur ‘bout a week every time the time changes. ‘Specially since it’s turned cold again.

(Dezi and Raena look over at mommy who looks a bit confused at where she was in preparing their breakfast)

Don’t worry, she’ll figger it out. Did you see the cool colorin’ book mommy got yesfurday?

Mommy didn’t realize the painting was flipped over till she

loaded these fotos this meownin’. 😦

I’s sure did. We won that fur mommy from awnty Marjorie and the Dash Kitten Crew. It travelled across the whole world to get here. And ya’ know what? I’s could still smell the kitties. It was really nice meetin’ some of our furiends. Ya’ know gettin’ to smell ‘em like that, I’s feel like I’s know them in the fur.

Fanky fank ya’. Mommy’s gonna have fun.

Yep, I’s exchanged a few scents too. Fank ya’ll, mommy’s gonna have lots of colorin’ fun. And she put the little paintin’ on her desk so she could look at it every day.

Hey Dezi, don’t furget to tell everypawdy ‘bout the fundraiser fur mommy. She got a big surprise this week.

Yep Raena, she sure did. An Angel sent us $800.00 to our paypal this week. Ya’ know what that means? We’re ‘bout half way to our goal. Fank you soooooooooooooo much. Of course mommy cried, cuz she was so grateful. You know, mommy hates that she needs help. Askin’ others to help us, is purrobably her least favorite thing. She’s always said she’d do whatever she had to in order fur us to get what we need, but when it comes to herself, she’d rather go without. But what’s goin’ on with her teethies is really bad and we’re desperate. That’s why we started the fundraiser fur her. We need our mommy to be here and as healthy as she can be to take care of us. Even ifin she moves in slow motion. She’s our slow motion mommy and we luv her. Ifin you’d like to donate, you can do so directly to our Paypal at: lexi(dot)dezi(at)yahoo(dot)com (fur your copy and paste convenience: lexi.dezi@yahoo.com), or at the fundraiser here.

We also wanna say fank you to awnty Petal. She and mommy met thru sis Lexi on facebook, and they be like sisfurs. Awnty Petal be family and we luv her. Ya’ know when mommy got really really sick back when our ‘pawrtment flooded, awnty Petal called the pawlice to come check on mommy. That might not seem like a big deal till ya’ know, awnty Petal lives across the big pond. We are so blest to have so many wonderful and caring furiends.

We sure are sissy. And don’t furget, awnty Vonda sent money so mommy could buy you a new harness and leash just like mines. We’ll be stylin’ together.

Sure nuff. Fank you awnty Vonda, me can’t wait. Altho’ mommy did say me had to wait till she felt a little better so she could focus and order the right thing. Seems she can’t make out the numbers on the measurin’ tape right now. MOL Anyways, we are so fankful fur all of you; and we feel so blest to have you in our lives. Don’t furget to take a minute today and every day to give fanks fur the blessings in your lives.

Looks like mommy’s furinally got our brekky ready, sissy. Let’s link up with the Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies and go eat. I’s sure nuff hungry now.

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

I Audra, am the human behind Service Cats U.S. aka DezizWorld. I am disabled and use cats as service animals instead of dogs. They are just as capable and can perform duties other animals cannot. We started our online journey to bring awareness to the ability of cats and to help others understand the relationship between a service animal and their handler/person. We offer training tips and tricks that I have learned through the years along with other information on all things feline. We began this journey in 2014 with Lexi and Dezi. They have since gone on to heaven, but our journey continues. This blog is about our daily life from the kitty's point of view. I want this blog to be interactive and get to know all of you, so comment and visit often. I will also offer advice, training tips and education when possible.
