Manly Monday with Tommy and Yuu!

Tom: We're back to our regular routine. ViVi has gone home to Uncle U's, and we have been running errands.

I've been hanging out with Yuu-Chan:


We has visitors on Saturday afternoon and, even though they did spend a lot of time in the back with the kittens, they also gave me lots of cuddles. Gabriel took this rather fetching portrait of me:


Note the tongue action!

I have been spending quite a bit of time with #1 sorting through possible photos for my Mangominster entry, which I am planning to send in today. After much debating, we decided on this photo:


We know that the sporty dog category, which I shall be entering, is extremely competitive. We thought this photo showed really well my utter dedication to my sport! I hope you like it.


Yuu-Chan: I have been spending the past week taking medication and having eyedrops put in my eye. I am happy to report that the eye is almost all better, but I am still sneezing and coughing a bit, so several more days of the meds. Not too much of a struggle, actually, since they come wrapped in cream cheese and HAM!

I experimented with a new hangout. I though the background colour brought out my colouring well, but the material was a bit chilly for this time of year. Maybe I shall try that again in the summer...


I have been playing a lot with Sei-Chan but #1 says it's really hard to get good photos because we move too fast. This is the best she could do...



Pretty pathetic, I think, but she promises she will try to do better.

I shall leave you with this photo of me hanging out with Sei-Chan the other evening. In case you can't tell us apart, I am on the left!

  6. Tommy, you are one handsome sporty dog! We know you'll be a champion with that great photo of your dedication. YC, you're quite the mancat lately, putting up with medicines and all. I'm glad you're feeling well enough to play. Have a lovely week!

  13. Tommy!
    Thanks for leaving me a comment. It looks like your entry got squished by my internet provider again. Maybe you could post your entry photo on your blog or leave a comment on my blog with a link to the photo you want to use.

    I don't want you to be left out!

  14. As always, wonderful pictures! we think #1 needs a video camera, not only for the kittens toddling around cutely, but also for Yuu-Chan and Sei-Chan playing together, and for Tommy's athletic performances...maybe you guys could sell a calendar or some mugs or something with your great pictures on them??

  20. There is absolutely no reason why you will not win Tommy. We think with that photo, you will win the competition hands down. No rain nor sleet nor snow can stop a true sportsdog. We are glad you are much better Yuu Chan.

  24. Tommy that tongue looks just perfect for washing kitties!

    Yuu, I'm sorry you have to take medicine but hopefully you'll feel 100% better soon!

  25. Tom, that's an excellent photo of you in the snow.

    Yuu-Chan, you should definitely try the wash basin again in the summer, it's a perfect place to nap.
