Fightin' Friday

 

Momo-Chan: Well, not REALLY fighting! My Dragon bro and I do love a good tussle on a regular basis, and we are both bored with this heatwave!



By the way, those terracotta tiles are amazing because they always stay cool, so they're great when it's hot like this!

Thankless Thursday

 

Ryū-Chan: I, Dragon Ryū, wish to file a complaint. It's TOO HOT! It's too hot even for us cats! It was 40°C (104F) again yesterday. The only thankful thing I can think of is that #1 is sleeping downstairs, where it's cooler, and I can cuddle with her.

Wildlife Wednesday

 

Ollie: #1 and I think this is the roe deer I ran after the other day. We see her fairly regularly, early in the morning. She runs so fast!!!




And here is one of me, out on my very early walk:

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan:  Hello everyone, Fluff Puff here. We are HOT, and it's about to get even hotter! It's going to be around 40°C most of the week. That's about 104°F. #1 has decreed that she will sleep on the sofa downstairs for the next few nights as it is far too hot in the bedroom, even with a couple of fans running!

Anyway, here are some nice photos of all of us, starting with me!


My bro, Benny The Black:


My other bro, Dragon Ryū who was looking for ways to stay cool!


Woofie Ollie has been going out on his morning walk really early with #1, and then no more walks as the temps peak late afternoon. When #1 lets him off leash, he runs down to the stream for a quick dip!


We do not have a new pic of The Big V this week, so here is a beautiful Marbled White butterfly instead!


Stay cool!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny: Hello!!! Your SoS host, Benny The Black here! Aa you know, we are in the middle of a major heatwave here, but that has not stopped me and my bro Momo from snuggling up a storm!




Dragon Ryū has been doing his share of snuggling with #1:



I've been hanging out with Ollie:




The Big V has been getting snuggles from Ms. L:


And here are The Big and Miss Violette hanging out together:


We wish you a lovely and snuggly Sunday! We apologise if the commenting has been a bit thin on the ground this weekend. Despite the heatwave, #1 has had to go some distance to some horse shows and has gotten home late and exhausted. Things should return to normal tomorrow.

Saturday Shade and Star!

 

Violette: Pretty neighs, everyone! You must be getting fed up with us telling you how warm it is over here. We're lucky in that our field is pretty shady and it's quite cool around the house, where we like to spend our days. 




So, are you wondering who the star is? It's ME, of course! I earned #1 a beautiful rosette, placing first in the "Dressed to Impress" category of the June edition of the Online Showing for Everyday Horse Fanatics show! It is the most beautiful rosette, and the perfect colour!


And this is the photo for which I won that 1st prize, when I did my Japanese Princess bit back in 2022.


Have a cool weekend, everyone!
