This is what Sen-Chan and I looked like back then:
Alas, our wise and sweet Sen-Chan is no longer with us, but his spirit of reaching out and befriending everyone remains central to the Poupounette, which was originally named for him, as his nickname was "Poupounet."
And we are so happy to have now with us our two beautiful girly girls, Tama-Chan and Sei-Chan:
But more than anything else, dear friends, we are happy to know all of you, and for the windows into your lives you have opened up to us. Writing this blog has been a rich and fulfilling experience, and we look forward to much more of the same in the coming years.
Finally, we would like to pay a special tribute to our first blogging friend who is still blogging. We did not know him then but he came to visit us and left a comment, and he still visits us regularly. Thank you, awesome-pawed ANGUS MHOR, for being our friend!
In conclusion, as it is Monday after all, I thought you might like a Manly Monday photo of me looking all grown up and seriously manly...

Very nice new banner! Congratulations on your one year anniversary!
ReplyDeleteOh, my. Heavens to Mergatroid. I had no idea!
ReplyDeleteI was entranced with Sen-Chan, our beautiful boy, and Tommy, so happy and full of savoir faire. Pictures of the glorious French countryside and the two of them out in the sunshine together drew me in and I remain a humble follower of Sir Thomas and his Burnished Beauties. A Very Happy Blogaversary to you, mes amis!
Happy Blogaversary! This has certainly been an eventful year for you, with the unexpected and sudden death of Sen-Chan and then the lovely additions of Tama-Chan and Sei-Chan to your household, with Tommy providing a wonderful friendly canine constancy to the whole gang. We wish you many more years of happy blogging!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogoversary!! We can not believe it has been a year!! What an amazing year it has been, filled with joy and sorrow. We know our lives are MUCH more enriched by knowing you all. We hope #1 has a lovely time in Canada for her month on our Continent. Lucky housesitters that get to be with you all for amonth.
