When mom moved into this house we're in now she said she had a black kitty just like Rez. His name was Sabbat. And he looked like Rez. And was Rez's name sake. It's a really long story so I'll try to put it in a nut shell. Mom moved into this park and the park manager had kittens. Since they couldn't have dogs there they got Frick and Frac. Well the managers were going to keep RezRez but their boss (the owner of the trailer park) said no more cats. They gave RezRez to some people who didn't take care of him and let him run around the park like a stray....didn't give him food or water or love. They named him Black Jack. Well RezRez/Black Jack would come to mom's trailer to get food and water and loves. The people that gave RezRez to the mean people were heartbroken and told mom that if Black Jack wanted to be with them she should just open the door and not let him back out and rename him....Well mom couldn't go with his original RezRez and hated Black Jack so they thought about it and said Sabbat fit him pretty well but at home (when no one was visiting) they would call him Rez. Well mom did that and let him stay with her...Frick and Frac jumped out the screen door and sadly got ran over shortly before mom moved in here. The family was devastated. But Sabbat (RezRez, Black Jack) was still there and he moved here with mom and dad......Duke, Bruiser, Rose, Pepper remember him....I don't cause he got out on one of his little nightly walks and never came back. So again mom still had Rez and loved him up until she found him resting peacefully in the field. She buried him under the rose bushes so he could be remembered and can have a special spot in the garden.
Well last night the teenager went out side to throw something away and heard a "MEOW-MEOW" He looks over his shoulder and see's what looks like Rez laying on the hood of the truck! So he starts calling RezRez. Well here came the cat and jumped into his arms.....He came in with the black cat and said, "I guess that wasn't Rez after all!" Mom started to cry because she found him and this kitty didn't have a collar and Rez did until she took it off to bury him. She got the collar out and the boy started to cry. But there was something odd about this kitty.....He was sucking on Chris' ear......That was a Sabbat trait! She jumps up and grabs for the kitty and Chris said that he came to RezRez. Mom looked at him and said, "Sabbat's name was RezRez before he came to us.....remember?" He said, "OH YEAH!!" So mom puts the kitty up on her shoulder and the purring was really loud (also a Sabbat trait) and started sucking on mom's ear......So she got the giggles and put him down to watch how he walks because Sabbat had a broken front hip socket that cost mom a lot of money to fix, (from the other people that had him) and the kitty walked with a little gimp on that side. But mom had seen Sabbat after he left and he was going to this other little old woman's house and figured he was happy there and wasn't going to run over to her house and tell her the cat was hers and she wanted him back. She's not like that.....this was an old woman and really loved Sabbat. Mom started crying because Sabbat was really skinny so she ran him back to the food dish and fed him. She took Sabbat back to the family this morning and said, "This is your mom's cat, I feed him and since it was late last night I didn't bring him back until today." They then informed mom that the old lady was dead and they didn't want the stupid cat as it hated them, and if mom was to leave it with them it was just going to the pound anyway! Very RUDE people. Well mom was shocked that these people came from such a sweet loving lady......Mom said, "If you don't mind and obviously you don't care.....I'll take the cat. If that's OK?!?" They slammed the door in her face and mom took that as a, "YES!"
SO back to the title of this blog.......
Who ordered the miracle?
Well whoever you are......thank you!
Nukems and pack!

A very good day from Fay-fay
Today was a pawsome day. It was a very nice hot day......A lazy day in front of the A/C. Lil girl went to her friends house to stay and when they came driving up we got to play with a Maltese named China!! She was so much fun to chase and play tag with. But boy oh boy......don't let size get ya...She is a fast little one! Not faster than me but I let her think she is......She's a Porsche I am a Ferrari! At least that's what mom says. It was just about dusk and mom and dad decided it was time for us to go for WALKIES!!! Whoo Hoo!! Everpawdy looks forward to this part of the day....Mom and dad get 5 long walkies! And 2 short walkies. So they stay fit and we don't do a Marley. BOL
Well while Duke and I where walking I got to thinking.....The girls need some training. But where do I start.... Mom is already training them how to sit, stay, come, down, heel and play ball. A very important thing around here. You got to know how to fetch......Don't know why but the humans at my house think fetching is a good trait to have......FOR A BIRD DOG! But for your guard dog you do not need to know how to fetch.....Just bring the bad guy to your mom or dad and letting him live. Not silly games like fetch.
Why does that word strike me as the same thing as bringing the intruder to mom or dad?? (note to self: look up the word 'fetch')
Anywho......back to the girls' training. I was pondering this the whole walk.....What trait do I have that mom really likes.....Is it my big mean bark? NAW she keeps telling me to knock it off. Is it my guard dog attitude? Maybe .... but Karma and ShamWow are already picking up on the whole guard dog thing. And they actually let people that mom and dad like up on the porch. Is it my snuggle time? No they get the same amount of snuggle time with mom and dad. Is it that I like to sneak a shoe every now and then? Well they always beat me to the shoe's and mom doesn't seem to happy about that one. So I'll let her deal with that one.....BOL
Ahh....I know what to start them out on.....A trait that mom just adores that I do that only one other dog in her life has done.....Teach the girls to bring the toys to the toy box....THAT'S IT!! And it's going to be the easiest to teach. I mean it took mom only one day and I had it down. So tonight I seen the girls come in from outside and they had a puppet in their mouth.....But instead of bringing it to the crate they were playing with it.....Well after they got done playing with it they just dropped it and started off on their own....Well I picked up the toy and took it to the toy box and put in. Well here the girls come take the same toy out and drop it. SO I picked it up again.......And then started to argue with the girls that this toy needs to be put up when your done playing with it......Well maybe it'll take a couple of days to train them this trait.
But then as mom was walking past the girls and ShamWow was chewing on a shoe. So she started looking for the girls chew toy....their Nyla Bone keys. She couldn't find them anywhere in the house. So out to the yard mom went to look for the elusive keys. She took the flashlight and set out. She looked in the front of the yard and the very back. She fell and we must have heard her go down cause the girls and I were there in a flash! We made sure she was ok and got her up.....But those keys weren't there. Well as she was getting ready to give up she finds them right next to the concrete pad. Something about they're always in the last place you look. (isn't that because you found them? Or maybe people keep looking after they find what they are looking for. I dunno but it seems silly to keep looking for it after you found it.) So she came in took the shoe away from Shams again and gave her the keys she almost broke her neck for. Shams looks up, takes the keys and chews them for a bit and then goes to lay down. I guess that walk took it out of her.... So now I am dictating to mom from her side that hurts and keeping her down on the couch for some much needed rest......I'll bark at you later!
Love Fay-fay

The training continues! By Anatu and Danu
Well after reading the letter from Rez.....we have decided to continue training the humans how to YEOWL.
So for the past couple of days we have been training every human in the house, (except Lil mom...she knows how to YEOWL and was listening to Rez when he was teaching her to YEOWL!!) to YEOWL.
Mom is going to be tough cookies to crack.....But dad is soo easy to train.....He doesn't even want to come to the bathroom. MOL When dad does come to the back or bathroom, we are hiding behind the toilette and jump out at his feet and he jumps and YEOWL!! HA Got dad trained!! That was easy!! I think Rez or Butch had trained him previously.
The boys are coming along great though.......we stalk them to the confined bathroom.....sneak in while they are closing the door.... And when their not looking...... WHAM!!!! Right on the foot!! They let out a YEOW......Now we just got to complete the training with the "L"
Mom, she's gonna YEOWL yet......right now she's at YEOW-CH! And we are assuming that OUCHY! is when the mom is happeh? Well we are working hard to help her with her YEOWL.
Here are some of the steps to training your human/mom/dad/kids to YEOWL:
1. Find good hiding spots: bathroom cabinets, kitchen cabinets, under the couch thing...etc
2. Be surprising! You gotta jump out of no where to get these humans to jump.
3. Use your claws! That's the way to get them to YEOW-CH!!
4. Bite them......(not hard just enough to let them know your playing)
5. If you have a sister or brother kitty/doggie chase them around the house while keeping an eye on your target......when they are laughing on the floor jump on their head! That'll get them to YEOWL!
6. If at first you don't succeed.....try....try again!
7. Demand CATNIP!! Once you get it go crazy and jump around and land on the people's feet. They will say that you shouldn't do this but continue because they know the secretly like it..
OK that covers todays lesson on YEOWL-ing. Tune in for updates and other techniques we have found and will gladly pass them on to you!

A letter from Rez. By Anatu and Danu
Hi everypawdy! This is Anatu and Danu! Today while trying to train the humans in our house how to "YEOWL we found a letter from Rez. It was in the cabinet where mom keeps the kitty litter. Well after chasing it around the house and back to the bathroom. We decided to read it...*hands letter to Danu* She has a better speaking voice. MOL
*clears her throat* OK here goes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the new kitty of the house, (I guess he wasn't expecting the 2 of us)
There are a few things to remember about the running of this house. First things first though......ALWAYS POOP in the litter box......Mom isn't a happy camper when you don't! Mom will try to get you to drink from a water bowl. And depending on your size you might want to do so for a little while. But seeing that mom only refreshes the water twice a day, I suggest that you drink from the bath tub. Mom won't get on you about it and thinks it's cute. And it's the freshest water in the house.
There is a scratching post in the house but I never use it......I suggest that you scratch at the doorways and windows like I do. The scratching post is just for decoration. NOT MEANT FOR PLAY. The 'toys' mom buys are also for show. You should not play with these silly things like 'fish on a stretchy cord'. Or balls with grains in them so they make a rattle sound. OH and last but certainly not least NO CATNIP!! That just drives a kitty crazy and makes them do weird things.
The humans in the house are very well trained and if you need anything just MEOW and it'll be attended to. Lil mom likes to play with kitty's and I hope your the playing sort of kitty because I am not....I am the cuddly, sleeping kind. Please not to be waking me up to play. I am Lil mom's protection at night. Yes on the every night occasion I do tend to bounce of all the walls when Lil mom is asleep. But I always return to my spot on the bed. If you desire a spot on the bed you can have the foot end.....The head end is MY spot!
Now for the food issue. Lil mom loves things like Pickles and Green Beans. I suggest that you get used to eating these as I am a avid green thing eater and Lil mom expects it from her kitty's.
The rats in the room are only for show and really don't like you laying on their cages......I would recommend laying up there, or if the cage is unavailable use the TV. If there is a grey sort of rat use your own discretion. I would not chase these......It needs to live too...That's my motto. But our foster kitty 'Mau-Mau' used to catch these and bring them to mom and get something special for doing so. Since I do not chase these feel free to do so if you wish. Mom will love you either way.
I think I covered everything that needed covered.....Remember to help with the training of the humans to "YEOWL" as they do not have this down after 3 years with me.
Love,
Mr. Rez <3

WOW what a long list and we have already broken four of the rules of the house!! We play on the cat tree, we scratch the cat tree, we play with the toys and we LOVE the catnip......Yes it does make us a little loopy but mom seems to like it and Lil mom LOVES watching us play and playing with us....But on the bright side we are pooping in the litter box. So does that cancel out the other stuff we did? OMC what's a cat to do??

Be on the lookout for the training of the humans!
