Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: #1 is BACK!!! She had a pretty long drive yesterday, almost 500km, and she made a couple of stops along the way, so she got home a little before 5pm. Mr. G was waiting for her and helped her unload the car (more on the contents on Thursday). She hasn't had time to take any photos of me, obviously, so I am using some that Mr. G took and posted on our FB page.

Thank you, Mr. G, for looking after us so well!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: #1 is still in Belgium, but she did help me put together this post before she left. Just in case you thought that I only snuggle with #1, let me start with this photo of me snuggling with Mr. G's Dad, Mr. R:

Needless to say, I do of course snuggle with #1!

Here's a two-tier scene, with #1 snuggling with Benny and Ryū simultaneously:

The ongoing Ollie-Benny love story:

A cute on of Ryū giving his big bro, Benny, a kiss:

Mr. G took these cute ones of #1 and Benny:

Benny is defiunitely a champion snuggler. Ryū, on the other hand, requires some serious wrangling to get a snuggle pic unless he decided he wants one!

Odd as it might seem, Momo snuggle pics have been a little thin on the ground recently. The best we can do this week is this one of him hanging with his bro, Benny, at the window:

Last but not least, we have a couple of cute snuggle pics of #1 with Miss Violette:

We wish you all a very snuggly Sunday!

Violette & Heloise Vendredi

 

Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone! The weather has improved a little and we horses have mainly shed our winter coats so we are looking svelte and gorgeous. I would like to start today with a lovely photo of me that was taken by a friend of Ms. C:

We just love this photo! That's a big cherry tree behind me and we enjoy the cherries when they ripen!

Here is one of Heloise in front of the same tree. As you can see, we still have mud!

And we have a fun photo of #1 trying to prevent me from grabbing the whole roll of Polo mints (hard mints with a hole that both humans and horses love)! That is Lily, Ollie's daughter, in the pic, by the way!

And The Big V sent this one in, showing the beautiful braiding he gets when he is doing fancy events.

As #1 is away, we won't be blogging tomorrow although we will have a Snuggles on Sunday post. She will be on the road back on Monday, so no post on Monday either.

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny: Hello. My name is Benny and I am a licker. Today, I would like to express my thankfulness to the nice people who let me lick them clean! First among these is my #1. The following photos were taken by Mr. G:

I also got to lick Mr. G's dad, Mr. R!

I also enjoy giving Mr. G a good licking but  he was busy taking pics. I shall have to remind #1 to take some pics of us next time!

Woofie Wednesday

 

Ollie: Woofs, Everyone! It was great having Mr. G and his Mum and Dad here on Sunday. Those are my favourite times! As the weather was nice,  we spent time outside and Mr. G took a bunch of photos of me!

#1 says some cow genes must have gotten mixed in with mine when I was in the womb, because I do love grass!

I love it when Mr. G looks after us, but I will also miss my #1 whilst she is away!

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: It's Tuesday again and time for me to share my news for the week. It has been another really nice week, with #1 here, although that is about to change (surprise, surprise...). As you know, we celebrated little Ryū's first birthday on Sunday and had Mr. G and family to lunch, which is always lovely!

So, #1 is leaving us on Thursday morning. She is driving up to Belgium, to attend an FEI Steward "Transfer-Up Course" so she can go from being a Level I steward to a level II steward, ahead of this summer's Paralympic Games. It will be a fun time for her, but also a lot of hard work, so I have started crossing my paws that all will go smoothly and she will pass!

I know that she will study hard!

She just needs to apply herself!

Mr. G took this pic of me with "The Thug" at rest, his tail almost touching me!

And this one with my little apprentice. He was wide awake there!

I suppose I have to tolerate the youngsters...

All being well, #1 should be back with us by next Monday evening. Mr. G will of course be taking excellent care of us!

Manly Monday

 

Benny: Happy New Week, Everyone, and welcome to the post featuring the best boys, ie all the boys, of The Poupounette! We had a great time yesterday celebrating Ryū-Chan's first birthday. Mr. G took some great pics, so here are some:

And here I am giving Mr. G's Dad a good licking!

Ryū-Chan: I had a visit from someone called Rainbow Beebs, and I paid him my respects.

Momo-Chan: This is me wearing my scary face. Are you scared?

Ollie: Mr. G took this nice pic of me out in the garden.

We wish you all a very good week!
