Vidock & Co. Vendredi

The Big V:  Handsome neighs, EveryFriend. #1 came to see us on Tuesday and is now officially calling us mud monsters! Well, it's hardly our fault that it is raining non-stop, is it? 

Here I am with my pals, the blondes:

Did you bring me apples?

I knew you would!

Nice coat of mud, eh?

Violette: Pretty Neighs, everyone! This time, I managed to get to #1 before the hordes thundered down, and so I got my apples!

Heloise & Philomena: Everything is always better with a little "HP" sauce, right?

Philomena:

Mother and mini-me daughter:

Mama Heloise:

Tama-Chan Thursday

 

Rainbow Queen Tama: Hello, Dear Friends!  I am sorry I am a little late with my weekly retrospective post. #1 is continuing to struggle with various technical problems related to the electrical issues that have been plaguing Poupounette Central. Thanks to her superhuman efforts in bringing her desktop computer downstairs so she could access the photo files on there, I can continue with my weekly posts looking back at my life. This week, we look at 2016 which was a golden year for us all. Nothing hugely exciting happened. We just enjoyed our lives. Those are always the best of times.

Here I am relaxing in January on the radiator up in the study:

In February, I enjoyed snuggling with #1 on Valentine's Day! Can you believe that was ten whole years ago?

Here are some March 2016 portraits for you:

As it warmed up in April, I started to spend more time in the cat run:

Although I still hung out indoors:

And enjoyed playtime with various toys!

The "in and out" pattern continued in May:

Nothing like direct sunlight!

and into June. As you can see, I was a tad "portly" back in those days:

So #1 tried to get me moving a bit!

Doing my zebra imitation in July:

And getting into vertical dangles in my hammock:

And then it was my 8th birthday!

Here I am doing a bit of "drawering" in the bedroom, as Genji gobbles up some treats:

In September, I worked on my relaxation techniques!

I was always good at finding the best sunpuddles, and if Tommy happened to be in one, then it was even better!

November was upon us in a flash:

And then it was December and the end of another year:

And back on the radiator for me!

I hope you enjoyed this week's selection. It's quite time-consuming for #1 to go through the zillions of photos we have, and she does get distracted along the way!

Woofie Wash Wednesday

 

Ollie: Woofs, everyone! Ollie here! We're still trying to sort out our technical issues but #1 has figured out how to put together this post. A few days ago, #1 kept repeating that I was smelling a little "ripe" and so, when Mr.G and Ms.N came to tea, she thought it was the perfect opportunity to give me a bath. Mr. G's muscle power is needed to haul me into the tub. Once I'm in there, I'm a really good boy and do enjoy the shampoo and warm water shower. We didn't get any photos during the actual washing, but #1 did manage to get a few once she was done and Mr. G was trying to help towel me dry.

Even though he betrayed me by putting me in the tub, I still love Mr. G best of all!

In other news, I also got to meet the woofies who came with our Swiss friends to lunch last Sunday. They stayed in the van as they are not used to cats, but we were all able to run around together in the garden.

This is Isabella. She is a 7-month old Italian Spinone. According to her parents, she is very, very naughty and has been chewing all the furniture. She's very cute, though!

And then there was Rouky. He is a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, He is HUGE!

It's always fun to make new friends!

Technical Trouble Tuesday

 

#1 here. We are experiencing several technical problems and so are unable to put together today's post. Rainbow Queen Tama will be back on Thursday this week. Thank you for your understanding.

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: Hello, Everyone! Fluff-Puff at your service. Welcome to our first dose of manliness for the month of February!

Let me start with a shot of me taken by Mr. G the other day:

Mr. G also took this nice one of Ollie:

#1 took this one of Benny looking very bookish!

And one of Ryū looking very angelic:

Wishing you all a good week!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny: I was talking with #1 the other day about my hosting of this snuggle post and she said that she chose me because I am a "SupperSnuggler"! Isn't that wonderful?I love to be a supernsuggler!

We have a pretty good line-up of pics for you again this week, except that the horses are still MIA. The weather hasn't been very nice and #1 just didn't manage to get out there last week. She is determined to go this coming week!

In the meantime, it's business as usual at Poupounette Central. #1 says I'm even harder to find than usual in this week's snuggle pic with Ollie. What do you think?

Momo has also been snuggling with Ollie but, unlike me, he is hard to miss!

Mr.G got this nice pic of me with #1:

Ryū continues to snuggle with #1 where Queen Tama used to!

But he also likes lap time in the evenings!

And here is a pretty nice one of me and my bro, Momo, snuggled up together:

And in this one, you could see the two of us plus Ollie, with #1 squeezed in in the middle:

To finish off today's post, we have a really cute one of Rui (orange boy) and Dando (smoke tabby girl), the two kittens at our friend, Ms. D's:

We wish you a Sunday filled with snuggles, and a good month of February.
