Firstly, here is a collage of ALL Poupounette Gang members since the beginning:
I am in the centre. From top left clockwise, Sen-Chan (RIP), Tama-Chan, Yuu-Chan (RIP), Vidock, Bibi-Chan and Sei-Chan.
You can see our very first blog post here. Back then, it was just Sen-Chan and me. He and I had wonderful adventures and I still miss him a lot. He got here one month before I did and he welcomed my pup self with open paws when I arrived! I immediately became a kitty fan!
On the third day that we blogged, we got a comment from Angus Mhor and the big guy is still around and blogging. We love you, Angus! Over the past three years, so many people have stopped blogging, some have just vanished, and too many have gone to the Bridge. And yet, we are always meeting new bloggers and making new friends. We have received "actual" visits from blogging friends in the States and Germany and hope others will stop by. We are great believers in the Blogosphere!
We love to look back over our years together and #1 has gradually been ordering Blog-2-Print books, each of which covers a 6-month period. We already have three that take us to the end of 2009.
We have also evolved a great deal as a family, losing Sen-Chan and Yuu-Chan far too young, and welcoming Tama-Chan, Sei-Chan, Bibi-Chan and Vidock. Through it all, you have shared our joys and tears, and we thank you all for your friendship and support. And guess what? We are also coming up shortly to our 1,000th post! This one is #985!
And so, dear friends, to celebrate our Third Blogaversary, #1 is giving us a gift:
What do you think?
Happy Third Blogoversary! We love you lots!!!!!!!! Nothing more to say, exept maybe a big welcome to another goodlooking family member?!
ReplyDeleteOMC!!!! Don't keep us in the dark!
ReplyDeleteVery happy blogoversary, and many many more. We really have loved reading your blog, so enjoyed Tama's kittens, sweet Yuu Chan, and all the adventures of all of you.
Congratulations on your third Blogoversary, the Chans! We feel so close to you because many of you have Japanese names, just like us! We love reading about all your adventures and here's to many more wonderful years together as a big blogging family!
ReplyDeleteWe think you are going to have a new furbling! The cutie in your picture has a different coat to the rest of you!

Applause from us for reaching this milestone!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your 3rd blogging anniversary.
ReplyDeleteWe weren't born when you started blogging but mum remembers about Sen-Chan because she used to look at a blog in southern England with a grumpy cat Tig (egyptian name but mum can't remember how to spell it!), a lady cat called she thinks Isis (who won lots of show prizes)and a mancat called Ramses and she heard about the loss of Sen-Chan there coc Isis liked him !! She didn't realise it was that long ago!
Anyway back to you all - we love your blog and wish we had lovely fields to explore.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Happy blogoversary! What a cutie that is!
ReplyDeleteWow, love the book idea. Happee 3 year blogaversary
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Happy 3rd Blogoversary!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm on the edge of my chair--are you getting a new addition?! What a cliffhanger ending that was!
Happy Blogoversary! We remember we started reading when you lost Sen-Chan I think because Ramses and Tig were still blogging and they mentioned it. The woman was so excited to see another abby blog as she likes Abbys too (must be the smart, active cat thing!)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness YES! Adopt that sweet kitty pronto. Yay!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy 3rd Blogoversary! We adore all the furries & love catching up with each new post. Onward!
Our mom has been thinking of getting a puppy pal for Mr King. Thoughts? We love Tommy. He has such a good relationship with the kitties. Cat pillow!
New kitty yay!
Puurrrrrrzzzzz,
Your Daisy Jiji
(Um, I caught my first little lizard yesterday. Have you seen it? Mom took it outside to run free. Boo! I growled when the other kitties came near. Grrrr)
Woooo mates! Congrats:)

We're very excited about your news ... we can't wait to hear more!!
We hope you all celebrated with something special!
best wishes from all the gang in Dublin
- Clive & Co
ps-you mentioned about blogging visitors you've had stop by - tell #1 she is more than welcome to visit us anytime! We remember a comment she made a long time ago on our blog about wanting to come visit Ireland! There's an open invitation for her!!
Something prompted me to check your blog today....6th sense, I guess! Happy 3rd Blogoversary! We are glad to be your blog friends and we think of you often, even when we get too wrapped up in other things to blog about them. I met a lovely Percheron/thoroughbred mix at our barn the other day -- named Chevalier (Chevy, for short!). So lovely, apparently this is a popular mix for jumping and eventing in the states -- I didn't know this. Of course, I thought of the beautiful Vidock!
ReplyDeleteSo what is the special gift?????
Happy 3rd Blogoversary !!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW!! That is so wonderful ;) We are really happy that we got to meet you !! We really like the idea of printed blog books!!
WE are very excited to meet your newest family member!! Kitty looks mighty cute ;) heehee

Happy Blogoversary, a day late!
ReplyDeleteI made a Blog 2 Print book of The Daily Abyssinian's 2010 posts - it took TWO books and even then I had to cut out some extra posts to get them to fit!
ReplyDeleteStill, it really is a great way to preserve something as ephemeral as a blog. And, I can show it to my mom so she gets what this blog thingy is I keep talking about!
