Two on Tuesday

 

Dragon Ryū: The other day, when the weather was nice and #1 opened the kitchen window for a few hours, I joined my bro, Benny The Black, for window whiffies.

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: Hello everyone! Fluff Puff here with the week's round up of handsome boys from The Poupounette! Let me start right off with our biggest boy, The Big V!

Next up is our Dragon Ryū. In this shot, he is sitting atop a jewel box. That is because he couldn't figure out how to open it and slide himself inside...

Here is Benny The Black, lounging in the bed on Sunday morning. Weekends are for sleeping in, he says!

And here I am, trying out a nice dangle whilst relaxing on my blue Peggy's blankie:

Last but not least is woofie Ollie. He is very excited because #1 told him he's going on a nice long walk somewhere new this afternoon, with her and a friend!

We wish all of our dear friends a good week!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny: Happy November from your servant, Benny The Black, and everyone at The Poupounette. It's going to be a busy month for us. #1 is away for a few days at the end of next week, after which we have a guest arriving from Japan. We are still waiting to hear about our little Noura. So far, they have not yet found someone who can carry her over to Paris. Paws ccrossed.

Anymeow, it's Sunday so it;s time for snuggles. I have once again been snuggling with my little bro, Fluff Puff Momo:

He really is the best to snuggle with!

I have of course also been snuggling with #1 as well.

And here is Ollie with a long-suffering look that says "Enough snuggling! Get up and let's go for our walk!"

People are begin to notice how much snugglier Dragon Ryū has become. Here he is with Ollie:

And #1 of course!

A few days ago, #1 did a Christmas photo shoot with Violette and Vidock, and there were of course some snuggle pics taken!

Miss Violette first:

Followed by The Big V:

Satiated Saturday

 

The Big V: Handsome Neighs, EveryFriend! The weather has been so nice that #1 decided we would stay in our current location a while longer before relocating back to our usual winter quarters. That decision having been made, she needed to order some more supplies for us. We are very lucky to have Mr. M, a local farmer, who brings us hay whenever we need some:

It is then my job to supervise and protect.

Miss Violette: Nobody elected you supervisor, you big lump! I'm coming over to make sure you behave yourself...

If you leave it to him, it's both tricking and treating every single day!

Festive Friday - Ollie's Birthday!

 

#1 here. Today, we celebrate our Ollie's 8th Birthday. I can't believe it has been that many years since the little pup arrived at Poupounette Central, with the healing of a broken heart as his initial mission. Tommy had gone to the Bridge just after Christmas, and the house was so sad. I started looking through the ads for Springer Spaniel puppies very quickly, and came across a black and white pup not very far from where I live. So I went to visit.

Ollie came home a couple of weeks later, at the end of January:

His first check-up with Dr. C:

He quickly made friends with Fernant:

He grew like a weed!

And he got to meet Tommy's sister Sophie, in April!

Ollie is in so many ways totally different from Tommy, but they do share one thing: a very gentle nature. They are both friends to everyone they meet and totally devoid of any aggressive behaviour. It is a characteristic of the breed and one of the reasons I like Springer Spaniels so much.

The past few years have been full of adventure:

With his best pal, Mr. G!

With Mr. G, Ms. N, and Ms. L, three of his favouritest people, plus Sheba and Charlie, his doggie pals:

Showing off his best smile during his combined birthday celebrations with Mr. G, Ms. L and Benny The Black:

Wishing a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY and MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY to our beloved Ollie (Oliver du Sentier Percherine). From his #1, Benny The Black, Fluff Puff Momo, Dragon Ryū, Miss Violette and The Big V!

😍🎂☀️🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤍🖤💖💝

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny: It's me, Benny The Black again! I wanted to say a big thank you for the nice messages and worrying about me. I am doing really well, actually. Yesterday, the weather was nice enough that we even had the kitchen window open for some window whiffies. There are still some lizards out there!

My bro, Momo, kept a tail on me to make sure I was OK, and he is still doing it!

I also want to remind you to join us tomorrow as it's our woofie Ollie's birthday! He is going to be eight years old! We love our woofie!

Woofie Wednesday

 

Ollie: Woofs, everyone! Ollie here! I have a video for you today. I have never been keen on balls and fetching, unlike my predecessor, Tommy. But the other day, Ms. L started throwing sticks for me, and I loved going to get them. #1 captured a little bit of it on video so you can see my moves. I had a lot of fun!
