Woo Hoo!!! It’s Blest Sunday!!! Oh, meowllo everypawdy. Me hopes you’re all feelin’ as blest as we are. Ya’ know it might be stormin’ outside, but it’s been a pawrty inside all week long.
Ya’ know sissy, not everypawdy had a birthday this week.
Sissy, come see what you got fur your birthday.
You’re gonna share right?
Me’s favorite treats. Fank you awnty Jeanne.
Me knows Raena. And altho’ me’s so grateful fur all our furiends, da cards, da new nip nanners and da pawsum bag of freeze dried chicky breasts from awnty Jeanne, me’s mostest grateful dat me has a furever home with a mommy who luvs me more than anythin’ in da universe. Me’s even grateful fur you li’l sis. And while me’s thinkin’ ‘bout it me needs to tell you all dat our comments on most WordPress hosted blogs are bein’ marked spam. So ifin we’ve “liked” your posty, or ya’ think we shoulda left ya’ a comment, purrlease check your spam folder, cuz we just might be there.
I’s happy to hear dat you luvs me sissy, cuz I’s luvs you very much. Are you gonna tell everypawdy ‘bout mommys blessings?
Yeah, this happened so fast it wasn’t da foto she had planned to take. She really regrets not gettin’ Raena’s face in this shot too.
Yes Raena, me was gettin’ to dat. Anyways, da awnty Anonymous dat sent money fur meez birthday pizza, dat me still hasn’t had by da way. And it’s not cuz mommy didn’t try. Sure ‘nuff, just as planned, mommy got on da catputer da day of meez birthday to order our pizza and get her some breadsticks, when she noticed da store address they was tryin’ to send our order to was 35 miles away (we don’t have delivery, only pick up and dine in). Mommy tried to change da store a few times and then she just decided to call in our order. Da fone rang and rang and rang, but nopawdy ever answered. Mommy purromissed she’d try again da next day. Same thing happened da next day and da day after. Well mommy put in a call to da Pizza headquarters and turns out, our Pizza Hut closed on meez birthday. Dat’s right, they closed down on da day of meez birthday fur remodelin’, and won’t be open fur a few weeks. So meez birthday pizza’s gonna be a Gotchaday pizza instead. But dat’s okay, me can eat pizza anytime.
Uh Sissy? You still didn’t tell ‘bout mommys’ blessin’. Ya’ know, how awnty Anonymous sent some green papers and told mommy to go to da grocery store and pick up a few items fur her to eat? And how awnty Donna sent green papers to buy tags fur da car?

Well Raena, me was getting’ to it, but since you just did, we really wanna say Fank you. Ya’ know mommy luvs us so much and goes without a lot so we are taken care of. Me knows she worries a lot ‘bout how things are so ‘spensive and dat da monies don’t always stretch far enuff. And when November rolls ‘round and we suddenly have bills dat only happen once a year, it really stresses her out. But cuz it’s meez birthday and gotchaday month, she puts on a happy and doesn’t let it show. So we really do purreciate all da help. Now awnty Anonymous trusts mommy to do what they discussed with da money she sent, but we thought we’d post a couple fotos of what mommy bought fur her to eat anyways. Mommy even tried to get a pizza mix fur meez birthday since da Hut was closed. Mommy liked it fine, but me thought da pepperonis was a bit small. Da same Anonymous awnty sent us some noms too. We be so blest we just can’t contain it. Altho’ we’ve got material blessings to count this week, they’re fur sure not da only blessings we’re counting.
We feel so blest everyday to have each of you in our lives. We know we’re blest to have a roof over our heads and a warm bed to sleep in. A luvvin’ mommy and food in our bellies. Each week we remind you to take a minute to give thanks for the blessings in your lives. We know things aren’t purrfect and dat sometimes it can be hard to see da blessings fur da pains and curses of everyday life. But mommy says, as long as there’s breath in your body, you are blest and things can change fur da better.
Mommy says we’re her biggest and bestest blessings, doesn’t she sissy?
Yes Raena, she does. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes and can sometimes be found where you least expect them. So really, just take a minute today and everyday to give fanks fur da blessings in your life. And fank you all fur bein’ blessings in ours.
And don’t furget to check out all da Sunday Selfies over at da Kitties Blue we’ve got treat eatin’ selfies. Oh and ‘member to check fur our comments on your WordPress hosted blog posts in your spam folder. ‘Pawrently we’ve been spam since Furiday. MOL I’s gotta go ask sissy what spam is and have some more of those birthday treats; see ya’ll later.
Meowllo everypawdy, Isn’t it a wonderful day today? Me’s 7th birthday was yesfurday and da pawrty got started with a bang. We’ll be celebratin’ all month long. We’re gonna keep it short today cuz mommy was already spent from Mondays post ‘bout Shad, and then we just wore her out yesfurday. Me got to go strollin’ several times yesfurday. And each time we would walk through da door, Raena was there patiently waitin’ fur her turn. Well, she wasn’t actually patiently waitin’ cuz we could hear her meowin’ all da way across da ‘pawrtment complex. Let me tell ya’, dat girl has some separation issues.
Dat’s not fair sissy. I’s just wanna be with mommy.
Well Raena, me thinks she’s got it. Anyways, mommy furgot one thing yesfurday and dat was to check da batteries on da cameras. You guessed it, 4 fotos later they both died. Da one in da Canon is just kaput. There ain’t nuffin’ left to charge there, so mommy’s gotta look into a replacement battery at some point. By da time da Nikon was charged, it was dark, so no more strollin’. But dat’s okay, there’ll be purrlenty more oppurr-tunities this month. Me wanted to fank you all fur da birthday wishes and da cards me received. Mommy hasn’t had a chance to make heads or tails of anythin’ yet, but me got e-cards, email cards, and posted cards. They were all pawsum. We have da bestest furiends in da universe.
Sissy, don’t furget to tell them what mommy said.
Fanks fur remindin’ me Raena. Writin’ Shad’s story Monday was very difficult for mommy. And based on her purrevious experiences, she had expected a lot of judgment and animosity from peeps. What we got instead was lots of luv and support. Mommy wanted everypawdy to know how grateful she is and how blest we are to know all of you.
Looks like we’re in fur storms today, so we’ll be ‘round to visit as soon as we can. Gotta go now, there’s a nip nanner callin’ meez name.
Meow and welcome to a brand new Blest Sunday and our favorite posty of da week. You know, we are sooooooooo blest. Ifin ya’ haven’t figgered it out by now, we’re a house full of mushy emotional girlies. Mommy can open up da flood gates and cry a river on da bestest of days, so you can only ‘magine what it’s like on bad days. What with da weather changin’, da holidays comin’ up, missin’ sis Lexi, and da upcomin’ extra bills, mommy’s spent a lot of da past week cryin’ her eyes out. Da month of November means dat on top of all da regular monthly bills, da car tags are due, our once a year Magic Jack fone bill’s due and most purrtantly, it’s Me’s Birthday month. Me will be 7 years old on Tuesday. Can you believe it? It seems like just yesfurday dat me was bein’ da pain in mommys’ behind and givin’ her gray furs. Now dat job falls to Raena and everypawdy expects me to be all grown up and stuffs. Has dat happened to any of you?
Ya’ know one minute mommy’s tellin’ me dat me’s her baby girl and da next she’s sayin’ me’s her big girly and me has to set a good example fur Raena to follow. Me’s startin’ to understand why sis Lexi splatted me when mommy brought me home with her all those years ago. You know me feels so blest to have all of you in mes life. You’ve been so suppurrtive and helped me to accept sis Raena. She really is a good girly, she just doesn’t ever stop. Mommy even tells her everyday to slow down. But Raena has one speed, all out all da time. And yes, mommy has tried all da calmin’ stuffs on da market. None of them seem to even phase Raena. Mommy says we’re just gonna have to hang in there and wait it out.
Me told all of ya’ this cuz we’ve gotten a few emails and pm’s askin’ ‘bout Raenas trainin’. And peeps who followed us on facebook befur da bloggy, ‘member readin’ ‘bout mes wheelchair trainin’ and wanna know ifin Raena can drive yet. Mommy says rest assured dat when Raena starts wheelchair trainin’ we’ll post ‘bout it. Mommy says dat each kitty is different, so trainin’ doesn’t always happen at da same time. Raena is like mommy, and she’s overly sensitive to everythin’. Dat’s not a bad thing, but da spay surgery was purretty hard on her and she’s just now startin’ to really bounce back from it. She is pullin’ her weight in da massage depawrtment, and she can call fur help. She can also turn on da wheelchair and alert befur mommy passes out. So mommy says she’s doin’ great fur a 6 month old kitty.
Anyways, back to Blest Sunday and me’s Birthday. Mommy says she knows fur sure dat me has a purresent comin’. One of our awnties pawrently told mommy dat me and Raena was getting a surprise. Me can’t wait to see what it is. And yesfurday mommy was talkin’ on da fone to one of our awnty Anonymous’ dat sent her those huge cans of coffee da other day, and she sent some green papers so mommy could get Raena and me a pizza fur mes pawrty. Me hasn’t had pizza in a long time and sis Raena’s never even seen or smelled one. Meeeee-oWwww Is she ever in fur a yummy treat. Me can already taste da yumminess. Fank you sooooooooooooooo much awnty Anonymous. Mommy says fank you both too. She says without ya’ there wouldn’t have been a pawrty. Oh, mommy woulda made me feel special by givin’ me lots of extra luvvin’ and takin’ me fur a really long stroll, but there wouldn’t have been purresents or treats. Now me can have it all.
I’s really likin’ da sound of this Birthday thing sissy, it sounds as fun as playin’ in da sheets. Do I have one?
Of course you have one silly. It’s da day you were born. Your Birthday is April 21st, and you’ll be one whole year old. Anyways, dat’s a long time off, so right now you just need to ‘member to treat me like da Birthday Queen. Befur we go me would like to remind peeps to keep your kitties, ‘specially da black and/or white ones inside thru halloween. As most of ya’ know, we don’t celebrate this holiday but many do. Most kitties don’t enjoy da dressing up, screamin’ trick or treaters, constant doorbells or pawrties. And fur sure da candy and treats aren’t good fur your pets. Make sure your pets are safe and as comfurtable as pawssible durin’ your celebration. A quiet room away from celebrants and/or da front door, with some food, water, litterbox, favorite toy and/or bed and maybe some music or teevee fur calming and distraction.
C’mon Raena, let’s go get a bath and a nap and maybe Tuesday will hurry and get here. In da meantime, we’re joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. And be sure and tune in tomorrow fur Service Cat Monday; we’ll be postin’ Shads backstory. Fank you all fur bein’ our furiends. We cherish, luv and purray fur you all daily. ‘Member to take a minute today and everyday to give thanks fur da blessings in your life.
Meowllo everypawdy and welcome to a pawsum Blest Sunday. As most of ya’ know this is our favorite posty of da week. But we do have some new followers dat might be wonderin’ just what it’s all ‘bout. So we wanted to take a minute and ‘splain. Mommy says it’s good to give thanks each and every day fur da blessings in your life. And she says, no matter what, everypawdy is blest. Blessings come in all forms from da material to da unseen blessing of breath, luv and furiendship to name a few. So ifin you are alive and breathin’, you are blest. We know dat you might be havin’ purroblems or things might not look so good from your view. Trust us, we’re not without our own purroblems and issues. None da less, as long as we have breath in our bodies, things can change. Thus, we, and you are blest.
Raena and me are so very blest to have a furever home with a furever mommy who luvs us more than anythin’ else in da universe. And we are blest to have so many amazin’ and wonderfully luvvin’ furiends. Yep, dat’s all of you. We are blest to live in a Country where we are furee to worship God and speak our minds. We are blest!!! And this week da material blessings came knockin’ on our door too.
On Furiday, da mailman came walkin’ up to our door. He’s new, we usually have a mail lady. Me didn’t recognize this man at all. None da less there he was standin’ at da door with a big ole box in his hands. Mommy brought it in and da box monster, Raena, was all over it. Smellin’ it, whacky pawin’ it and tryin’ to figger out how to get into it. Mommy got da scissors out and told sissy to move out da way, and opened dat there box. You shoulda seen mommy’s eyes. Da contents of said box was fur her. Yep, 2 big ole cans of coffee. Mommy luvs her coffee. And with da weather coolin’ off, she drinks da stuff all day and night.
I’s still don’t get what da big deal is sissy, but mommy sure is happy. I wans’t sure at furst cuz of all those tears, but she said they were happy tears. And dat she couldn’t say fank ya’ enuff to da angel what sent her dat delishus coffee. I’s fankful fur da box.
Yeah Raena, you know dat cup o’ joe dat mommy’s always tellin’ ya’ not to swish your tail furs in? Well, dat’s her coffee. And she luvs da stuffs. Says she can’t get goin’ without it. Me agrees with you tho’, da box is great fun. Anyways, come Caturday while we was sittin’ here watchin’ fur da storm to roll in, da Fed ex truck drove up. S’no big deal, there’s 23 other ‘pawrtments here dat they deliver to so we see their truck almost everyday. Da driver stood out there goin’ thru things fur da longest time befur pullin’ out some boxes and shuttin’ up his van. And then he headed right fur our door. One of da boxes was from Chewy. Mommy had found enuff green papers to get us a small bag of da freeze dried food dat she hopes will last till payday. Since Raena started growin’ up, let me tell ya’ dat girl likes da groceries. Anyways, da other box was huge, and said amazon on it. Mommy hadn’t ordered anythin’ else so she figgered da Fed ex man would be takin’ dat one elsewhere. Mommy opened da door and da delivery purrson put both boxes down in our house and left. Yep, da box monster Raena was at it again.
Anyways, mommy looked at da label as bestest she could withour her seein’ glasses and said, “Yep, looks like my name.” And then she got da scissors and cut da box open. When she got a eyefull of what was inside, she stepped back and got her seein’ glasses and checked da label again. “Hmmmm that’s my name and that’s our address” she said. And then da tears started flowin’ as she emptied da box fankin’ God and askin’ His blessings on da angel what sent it. somethin’ mommy does over every box dat comes in da house. Y, There was even a can of chicken in there and me’s birthday’s comin’ up next week on da 1st. There was cleanin’ supplies fur da house messes and our messes and fur human messes; includin’ some kleenexes fur all those tears and snot comin’ from mommys eyes and nose. Some noodles and even a chicken and dressin’ microwave meal dat mommy says we can share fur da holidays. Mommy said Christmas done come early and blest her real good. So a meowsy big Fank you to whoever blest our mommy. We all purreciate it very much.
We sure do sissy. And fanky fanks fur da boxes too. Now, what’s a birthday? I think I’s gonna like those ifin we get chicken. And what’s these holidays and Christmas?
Oh Raena, you’re such a…a…baby. Me will ‘splain it all in due time. Right now we just want to tell everypawdy to ‘member to take a minute today and every day to give thanks fur da blessings in their lives. Fank you all fur bein’ a pawrt of our lives and fur each of you, we purray God’s richest blessings on you and yours.
And we’re joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur Sunday Selfies. I’s’ll race ya’ to da big box sissy.
