Tama-Chan Tuesday - The Rainbow Queen

 

Rainbow Queen Tama: Hello, Dear Friends! Here I am, back to my usual Tuesday spot after a break last week. I hope you are all well. You know that at the Bridge, we welcome all who have crossesd but we also rejoice when, through their tears, our people choose to open their hearts and homes to another cat (or dog). So, this week, Derby and Ducky are celebrating the arrival of Dobby with their Mom, Janet, who was finding the silence too hard to bear. Live long and prosper, Dobby!

Now, where was I? We have reached the year 2021 in our meanderings through my life at Poupounette Central. That was the year I celebrated my 13th birthday and #1 left for a long stay in Japan for the Olympics and Paralympics. It was also a year of more goodbyes, but also a hello. So let's get to it.

January 2021 - The plan was simple: naps, sunpuddles and snuggling with #1:

February 2021 - It was nice to spend time with Ollie, and even with Fernant, in addition to my usual activities

March 2021 - This was the saddest month because we lost little Genji. He had not been doing well for a while and his poor body finally gave out. For a little while, it was just Ollie and me.

It had been peaceful, and then this showed up!

April 2021 - Yes, Benny The Black had arrived! A half grown kitten at five months, riddled with ear mites and an eye infection. Then it turned out he had a polyp in his right ear that needed removing. He was a pretty expensive free kitten!

I started helping #1 more with the computer:

May 2021 - With the nicer weather, I began to enjoy the cat run more.

Sometimes, the little black ninja would try my patience:

But what could I do?

June 2021 - June arrived and #1 told us that she would be leaving mid-month and not be back until September. Intricate arrangements were put in place for our care, and we enjoyed her presence as much as we could.

July and August 2021 - I have a grand total of two photos for these two months. #1 even missed my birthday on August 2nd. She said it could not be helped. Really?

September 2021 - We could not wait for #1 to return at the end of the first week in September!

November 2021 - Things settled back into our usual routines once #1 came back to earth after that amazing experience.

December 2021 - And then it was the last month of the year, with Christmas and the end of another twelve month period. What would 2022 bring?

Thank you for reading yet another very long post!

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: Hi Everyone! Fluff Puff here! I can't believe it's Monday already! Where does the time go? We had a nice week last week. We all love spring! This week will be quite busy. Our friend, Ms. N, is coming to visit for a few days from Thursday, and that will be fun. I know she will be in awe at all the handsomeness she will be faced with!

Let me start this week with Benny The Black who was caught red-pawed with a toy!

He also likes to help #1 at the computer, now that Queen Tama is no longer with us:

As you know, Ryū-Chan is very busy much of the time, but he does rest up from time to time and that is when #1 can snag the best photos.

This next one comes courtesy of Mr. G:

As for me, what can I say. I bask in my fluffiness each and every day!

In case you're wondering about the flag, it was given to #1 by Lottie Fry's groom so she could wave it about at a big dressage competition!

Here is a close-up for you:

Ollie wanted to share this nice photo of himself with his pals, Sheba (long-haired black Groenendael) and Charlie (Border Collie)

He enjoyed a really nice walk with #1 and a friend in a new wood the other day!

As for The Big V, well he is still shedding and #1 is still grooming!!!

We hope you all have a wonderful week!

PS: I thought I would just mention that this is a big week for me as I will be doing some celebrating on Saturday!
