From ALL of us - For Max and His Mum

#1 here. Over the last couple of days, we have seen more and more of our blogging friends take the plunge and follow Caryl's example of posting photos of herself with her beloved Max. It is true that most of us stay out of our blogs as much as possible, but we were very taken with this idea here at The Poupounette and decided to follow suit. Now, as I am the one usually wielding the camera, photos of me with the gang are taken only intermittently when someone else is around and willing. Most of these photos are not that recent, but they are the best I can do.

I start with my own treasured little one who is no more. Sen-Chan went to the Bridge just over a year ago, aged only 18 months. This photo was taken on his first and only birthday:


And here I am with little Tama-Chan when she was only five weeks old. It was the first time we met!


Tommy is an incredibly wiggly boy and it's hard to get a still picture taken with him!


Sei-Chan doesn't really do laps or arms, so here is a photo of the two of us I took when she was still a small kitten:


Yuu-Chan, on the other hand, is a love-bug and always ready for a cuddle...


This marks the end of the human element interlude. We shall return to our scheduled programming tomorrow, by which time we hope to have our special guest here!

  1. Hey guys and #1!
    Thank you so much for doing that for us!...they are gorgeous pictures of you all! I just love these glimpses into the human-animal relationships. You guys are stars and it's clear that #1 delights in her loved ones.
    I was wondering...is that a giraffe which Tom has in his mouth? Looks like it.
    Take care and lots of love to you. Thank you for a beautiful post.
    with love
    YOUR FRIENDS IN SOUTH AFRICA

  6. These are all very happy photos of #1 with her kitties. It is interesting the Sei-Chan is not a big people cuddler, yet she snuggles so much with Tommy.

    Tommy is very wiggly isn't he?

  15. Many hugs to Max's Human Beans ... So hard to have a best friend go to The Rainbow Bridge.

    And such a delight to share the time with them while they are here with us ... Love all your pics. You look so happy ... Amazing what a bit of fur can do for the Human soul. Better than chicken soup I'd say, natch!!

    Smooches,

  17. And we are so very glad for this interruption in the regular programming. After all, we pups and kitties wouldn't be able to post if it weren't for our beloved bipeds. Lovely photos, and as so many have commented throughout blog world, the love really shines through.

  18. One of my biggest regrets is that I have a ton of pictures of Q, but very few of Q and me together. The same holds for pictures of 9 and Chani and me when they were little.

    Thank you for sharing your pictures. I love the one of you and Yuu-chan... has to be one of my favorites. :)
