A Patriot Through and Through

Published on by Service Cats U.S.37 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy. Me doesn’t have to tell ya’ but today is Memorial day here in da United States. As you know me stays away from pawlotics here on me’s bloggy cuz well, there’s just no way to win. You know when it comes to holidays, we always seem to say Happy, Merry or some other gleeful expression. And so today there will be lots of “happy Memorial day” sayings. But me doesn’t exactly know what’s so happy about a day dat we remember those who have served and died or were irrepurrably injured fighting for the freedoms we live under. Especially considering da state of our current affairs.

Now don’t get me wrong, me’s grateful to have been born in America and have those freedoms, and we are soooooooo grateful fur all those who serve and have served to keep us free and safe. Me is grateful to their families who while not serving abroad, served just da same. Me is thankful fur every fallen soldier and he/she is a hero in mes book. Me is thankful to all those who came back to their families and country. And me’s ashamed of how our country has treated some of those soldiers. Whether you agree with the war or not, those soldiers are following orders. Those soldiers are keeping you and me safe. Trust me, they would rather be back home safe and sound in their own beds with their own families. So shame on us fur not always supporting them da way we should. And shame on us fur allowing our government to take away some of da very freedoms dat were bought with da blood and lives of those soldiers.

Dat’s right, Freedom isn’t Free. While our government scurries about tryin’ to re-write history and take away our right to bear arms, or censor our speech, or the many other rights they think allow us to much choice, men and women in da military are still dying to purrtect those rights. Many of those same soldiers serve in areas where they’re not allowed to purractice da same rights they’re fighting fur you and me to keep. Shame on us fur bowing down to Cult leaders who call themselves rulers and telling our soldiers they must abide da rules of da tyrannical governments we as a nation are tryin’ to overthrow.

Are we Patriotic? ABSOLUTELY YES!!! Do we luv America? ABSOLUTELY YES!!! We know we are blest to live in such a great country and we wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. This country was founded on da beliefs of da Bible and our fore fathers intended fur da people to control da government, not da other way around. God Bless America, land of da free and home of da brave. Let us never furget how this country was established and those who bled and died to ensure you could go about your days and nights safely without a care. Those who furget their past are doomed to repeat it. So today and everyday…

REMEMBER

35 And Holding…Really?

Published on by Service Cats U.S.42 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy, it’s finally Furiday. Like me had to tell ya’ dat right? You’ve been countin’ da minutes ever since Monday rolled ‘round; me knows me has. Today is mommy’s birthday. Did you know even me doesn’t know how old mommy really is? Mommy says there’s 2 lies dat God allows. She says ifin anypawdy’s rude enuff to actually ask a woman her age or weight, they deserve to be lied to, and God will furgive dat. MOL  Mommy says she’s like 35 and holdin’, whatever dat means. But she’s been 35 since well befur me was born, so me can only ‘magine what da number really is. Me hasn’t seen many 35 year olds with gray hair. Mommy says da gray hair is me’s fault. Me has no idea what she could be talkin’ ‘bout tho’, me’s a purrfect angel. She says so herself. So, Happy Birthday mommy, me luvs you very much.

Anyways, enuff ‘bout lyin’ and age. Da weather guessers are sayin’ we’re in fur days of stormy weather. So mommy was extra thoughtful and went to get her birthday shake last night so me wouldn’t have to be at home alone durin’ da thunder boomers, or worse yet, out in them. Yep fanks to awnty Ellen mommy got dat chocolate shake she was wantin’. And OMC Was it ever good. Of course mommy shared with me. Only a few bites/licks, but it was some kinda yummy. Me told mommy she could get one of those everyday, it was so good. Mommy said dat ain’t happenin’ tho’ cuz they be really ‘spensive. Well guess dat’s why it’s a birthday treat huh.

Scattered Blest Sunday

Published on by Service Cats U.S.37 Comments

Meowllo everypawdy, me hopes you’ve all had a great weekend. It’s Blest Sunday and also da furst of May. This month is full of so much. It’s National Chip Your Pet Month, National Pet Month, and so many more. Don’t furget your mothers, as Mother’s day is this month, and me’s mommy’s birthday is this month too. And today? Today is da start of National Pet Week. Like me said, May is full of celebrations and events. We wanna thank you all fur your patience and unnerstandin’. Sis Lexi’s birthday was really hard on mommy, and we spent da weekend luvvin’ extra and lookin’ at old fotos.

Mommy and me were able to go out fur a nice stroll on Furiday. With all da recent storms, da few flowers round here have taken quite a beatin’. But there was one rose bush dat seemed to be bloomin’ in honor of sissy, so we had to stop and take a foto while literally smellin’ da roses. As we did our reminiscing this weekend, we thought about how blest we are. You know as much as we miss sis Lexi we are so grateful she is no longer in pain. And mommy is thankful fur all da wonderful years she shared with her. And we are so very grateful fur all of you. Because of you, sissy’s last years were full of fun, adventure and extra luv. Her legacy will live on.

We have lots of good things comin’ up fur you this month, so stay tuned. We even have a give away or two. Ifin we just take da time, we can see how blest we all are. You know we’s had lots of storms lately, and there’s more in da furcast, but through all of them we’s been safe. Me may hide out behind da chair, but me’s safe inside with mommy. Ifin you’re lookin’ after ferals, purrlease keep your storm season in mind. There are lots of shelters you can purrvide at little cost. Certainly you want to purrvide shelter in da winter, but sometimes peeps furget about storm season. It can be just as dangerous. Dat link will take you to an image search with tons of DIY links. Share your blessings with those in need. And as always, mommy and me thank those of you who work with ferals day in and day out without any notice or gratitude. We see you, and da ferals whose lives you enhance see you.

Well me’s been a little scattered today; me is just so thankful fur all da blessings in me’s life. Take a moment each day to say thank you fur your blessings. Remember, ifin you’re here to take dat moment, you are blest. Me has to go and get some cuddles in befur da storm hits. Me’s also joinin’ da Kitties Blue fur Selfie Sunday. Paw on over and check it out.

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

Published on by Service Cats U.S.40 Comments

Well here we are on another luvvly blest Sunday. You know it’s felt more like winter time this past week than spring; but dat’s made fur a lot of good snuggle days with mommy. Me did kinda fureak out a bit durin’ da storms, but mostly me just hung out with mommy. Me luvs her so much.

When me last left ya’ me was headin’ off to cat scouts fur our 4th Quest and we was havin’ some really severe storms at home. Our innernet modem kept flashin’ and knockin’ us off da catputer. Mommy shut it down and sed it was too dangerous to try to be online. Me was finally able to purrticipate in some of da quest tho’ so me didn’t let me’s patrol down too much. We’ll be hikin’ out today and wrappin’ up yet another quest. We have a new feature called chat dat allows us to do just dat in real time. Of course you all know da quests and events are virtual, but da furiendships are real as real can be.
