Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: Happy Monday, Everyone, from this cold and rather rainy bit of France. We want our sun and our warm weather back! I, Fluff Puff, spent the weekend putting this weather to good use:

My bro, Benny The Black, kept watch:

#1 managed to snag one of Ryū! He is very excited as it's his birthday tomorrow. He will be three years old. By the way, that's #1's grandmother in the photo above him.

Ollie pup has made yet another new friend. Her name is Tara and she is a Border Collie. He enjoyed a lovely long with her, her mum, and #1!

And here's one of The Big V trotting around his wonderful garden:

Wishing all a great week!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny The Black: Hello everyone! Thanks for coming to share the love with us again this week. After glorious sunshine and a few really warm days, it's now rainy and colder again. Prime snuggling weather! Yesterday, Ms. L and Ms. T, who are hosting the horses, came for lunch. I was of course the perfect host!

As was Ollie!

It was really fun having them here and I think they enjoyed themselves too!

Ryū-chan did do his share of greeting and some snuggling but he was too fast to take any pictures, as is so often the case! As for Momo, he was MIA most of the time, as is his habit when we have visitors. Here he is helping #1 with work, the closest he gets to snuggling most of the time!

He is a lot better at snuggling with Benny!

Ryū of course likes the prime spot on #1's lap when he can get it!

And that is all we have for you today! Keep snuggling!

Saturday Shopping?

 

Dragon Ryū: I'm reading to go to the shops with you, #1!

What do you mean that's not the right bag for the shopping? I think it's just right!

And would you stop tittering and saying "the cat's in the bag", #1? We need to go shopping so you can buy me lots of birthday presents. You only have a few days left!

Family Friday

Momo-Chan: #1 always says that family is important and the best thing is to enjoy good times together. We definitely do that at Poupounette Central!

Meanwhile in Abyland, some Dragon has just awakened from his nap...!

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny The Black: #1 told me she was thankful for me! I told her that I was thankful for her too!

Wednesday Whinnies

 

Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone, Violette here! We continue to enjoy life in our magical field. #1 took this really pretty photo of me with cherry blossoms the other day:

I thought that Big V was pretty rude the other day when #1 arrived. He continued grazing instead of trotting over for cuddles. He came when he was good and ready.

On Easter Sunday, Ms. L and Ms. T took us on an "Easter Grass Hunt" in the main garden where there was a lot of lush grass to be savoured. I was a really good girl. The Big V misbehaved, as usual!

To show you how The Big V misbehaves, here is a pic of #1 giving him a slap because he was trying to shove her the other day:

I would never do such a thing! I'm a good girl, I am!

Tama-Chan Tuesday - The Rainbow Queen

 

Rainbow Queen Tama: Hello Dear Friends. Can you believe that it's April already? I have now been at the Bridge for a little over three months. Things were really busy for a while but they do seem a little quieter at the moment, and I hope they stay that way.

Today, I will be taking you back to 2022. It was the year that I turned 14 and the year that little Fluff Puff joined the family. Such a dear boy! It was also the year that #1 injured her ankle badly and also suffered badly at the hands of people she had trusted, so I was very busy looking after her. I do hope those boys are taking good care of her now!

January 2022 - I started as I meant to carry on: snuggling with #1!

February 2022 - #1 started occasionally serving me my meals in bed. Life as it should be!

March 2022 - I was still fairly mobile so the kitchen counter was under my supervision.

April 2022 - Full nursing mode! #1 was almost immobilised for several weeks and I was there with purrs and support every step of the way.

I still found time to hang out with Benny The Black occasionally:

May 2022 - I once again started to work seriously on my dangling

June 2022 - We celebrated Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee and life suddenly became fluffier and puffier with the arrival of young Momo.

July 2022 - With the warmer weather, there were lots more window whiffies, and we were busy watching the baby grow! But I still had to help #1 with her work, of course.

August 2022 -  This is of course my birthday month and I always loved celebrating with #1. I was also still limber enough to enjoy the cat run. And I started tutoring young Momo. Such a lovely boy!

September 2022 - This was a very busy and ultimately distressing month for #1, so I was there to support her whenever she needed it.

October 2022 - Things started to calm down and we returned to some kind of regular routine. Momo was growing fast and becoming an integral part of our family

November 2022 - With colder and shorter days, we hunkered down at Poupounette Central. It was a peaceful time.

December 2022 - And another Christmas came, and another year drew to a close. I was beginning to get on in years, and #1 often held me close and told me she wanted me to stay with her for a long time yet. I purred back that I would do my very best.

I hope you enjoyed my retrospective of 2022. We now have just three years left!
