Manly Monday


Tom:
After days and days of rain and grey skies, we are getting a bit of sunshine today, although it's still only 14C outside, quite unacceptable for June 20th!

I would like to start off today with a group photo of the three of us Poupountte guys:


Did you ever see a manlier (sweeter?) sight?!

I did have some pretty manly adventures yesterday. Remember my buddy Nappel who lives in the Pyrenees? He was up this way again and we went for a walk in the woods yesterday.


Once again, I had great fun wading in the water on the lakeside:


But the best moment was my capture and bringing home of a truly man-sized stick!


#1 keeps saying that I look bit wild-eyed in that photo. No idea what she's talking about...

And for my last photo for today, I give you this: manly dog with garlands in his hair!


A perfect look for midsummer, I say!


Yuu-Chan: I do envy Tommy all his outdoor adventures. #1 keeps telling me that she is sure I would be good outside, just like Sen-Chan was, but that she can't let me roam around whilst the others are confined to the run. It would not be fair. Sigh...

So I hang out in the run with the others, looking manly:


or sit at the study window with one of my siblings, admiring the birdlife:


or simply enjoying the lovely greenery around me:



Bibi-Chan: #1 has taken to calling me her "Little Pixie" and I suspect this is not very manly at all. Plus I have absolutely no idea why she does it...


Anyway, I have decided to take up a new sport, created by me. It's called "Tommy-Surfing."



Pretty cool, don't you think? It's a great way to spend the time when I'm not helping #1 with her work.

  2. You are most confident in your manliness to show your cuddle side as well as that spiffy garland.

  3. Tommy you should have been at Stonehenge today for the sunrise with your garlands in your hair.
    We are pleased it has turned sunny and warm perhaps summer is finally
    starting.
    Lovely photos of your feline brothers and sisters Tommy.
    We hope you didn't hit #1 across the shins with your man sized stick.
    the word verification is nomanli which certainly doesn't apply to you Tommy!!

  5. Awesome pictures, as always! We love hearing about your gang. Mummy dreams of having a truly loyal woofie like Tommy. Oh she loves going for walks with a furriend!
    She tells us that we are HOPEless on a lead. She ends up carrying us, and even then we make a FUSS!

    Tommy surfing looks like fun, and we are impressed that he doesn't mind!

    Yuji would LOVE to be called Yuu-chan! Our 'Yuu' is for brave!

    Lots of purrs!
    Keiko, Kenji, Pricilla AND Yuji!

  18. Bibi-Chan - you do make us laugh - you have imp all over that adorable little face of yours. And Yuu-Chan, be patient, one day #1 will let your have your fun out there too.

    Dear Tommy, great displays of your manliness today - we loved your big stick and the garlands in your hair made you like a Roman god.

  19. Whoa! That was one huge stick, Tom! I've found super long sticks, but never one as thick and heavy as the one in your picture. What's it like being a Bibi-Chan's surfboard?

  22. So, like in the first pic, there is snuggling on Monday as well as Sunday? Wow, my mom feels like she is missing out.

    Tommy, you are so handsome in your pics.
