The cloth carps go up every year in early May for Boys' Day in Japan. Our carp-shaped streamers celebrate us boys of The Poupounette, and wish for us to be healthy and strong.
So, #1 has been snapping photos of me again and is particularly taken with this one:
On the subject of manly activities, I met a new girl last week! Look at how pretty she is!
Doesn't she have a lovely smile? She is a cousin of Fernant's. Her name is Cannelle (cinnamon) and she loves playing with the ball even more than I do!
Sadly, she lives hundred of miles away so I only will get to see her occasionally.
And, by the way, #1 thought it was hugely manly of me to curl up in Bibi's bed whilst she and her friend watched the Royal Wedding...
Bibi-Chan: I am a very generous boy and I was happy for Tommy to get to sleep in my bed for once! Of course, I have the big bed to sleep in!
And I decided to "borrow" some of his balls in return!
Plus I have been very busy discovering our new run space:
Vidock: We have a new little pipsqueak in our field! His name is Apollon, he is a pony, and he is one year old. Despite his youth and the fact that he is half our size, he is up for all sorts of games:
And I have started to give him lessons in how to look manly for the ladies...
Wishing everyone a good week!
Bibi-Chan, beautiful smile! We would like to hear more about horse games. We only know cat games. Are there any we could adopt for ourselves?
ReplyDeletePurrs!
You guys are so lucky to get to meet all these wonderful friends! Apollon is very handsome, and we love the dainty way Miss. Cannelle sits with her ball. Your carp look wonderful, too :)
ReplyDeleteOh my my my!!!

PeeEssWoo: Oh Tommy! What a great pikh of handsome handsome woo! I'm sure Cannelle will be telling all her pals about woo!

We asked san if we could have carps too since we are boys. our carps are beautiful and so colourful. san said she doesn't have any carps that could fly and tomorrow is 3rd of May already. This san is full of excuses.
ReplyDeletesan means "your carps' Bibs. Her typo errors embarrass us so.

Cannelle is beautiful! Tommy, it's a shame she lives so far away. Bibi, your Brother looks so funny in your bed, and you are adorable peeking out from under the covers.
ReplyDeleteVidock, Mommy would love to stroke your nose, you are so handsome. #1 is so blessed to have all of you!

Oh Tommy, that Cannelle is a beauty for sure - love her coloring and markings.
ReplyDeleteBibi - do you know how lucky you are to sleep in a bed - that never happens here.
Vidock - we are sure you are a great teacher for Apollon in the art of wooing the ladies.
