Tama-Chan: Hello, Dear Friends. I hope you are well and enjoying the last few days of spring. It has been nice here and we are spending quite a bit of time out in the run.
Remember the pre-pandemic days when #1 had itchy feet and would be off hither and thither at the drop of a hat? This past year has been so wonderful because she has been here, with some very minor exceptions, and I for one have loved every moment. I am sad to say, however, that things are about to change and we shall be paying the price of all this togetherness. On Saturday, June 19th, #1 will be leaving us for two and a half months! She will be flying to Japan where she has a job as stable coordinator for the equestrian events at the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics. She says it is a huge honour and an amazing opportunity, but that changes nothing to the fact that she won't be here for so long. Sniff... We shall tell you more about this, and plans for our care and posts over this period, but I wanted to start with this advance notice. Today included, we still have her here for almost 12 days.
As I mentioned, I have been spending time in the cat run:
that is a super honor... and we wish your #1 a wonderful time... with many happy moments...
ReplyDeleteIt is a great honour for #1 to be part of a very important event. We hope she has a wonderful time there. I know you will all miss her but you will be very well taken care of whilst she is away.
ReplyDeleteI know that #1 will have a pawsome time in Japan.
ReplyDeleteI also know you all will miss her so much and she will miss all of you. You will
have someone there that loves you and will keep you company. It will not be #1 but they will love you too :)
Purrs, Julie
Huge congrats to #1 for such an honour. We are happy for her...and though you will miss her terribly, think of the stash she will bring back to you all!!
ReplyDeleteSorry you have to be away from #1 for such a long time. I though 2 and a half weeks was long. Looking forward to #1 updates on her adventures.
ReplyDeleteYou are looking very lovely today, Miss Tama-Chan. We will keep our paws crossed that #1 has a successful and safe time while she is away. She is uniquely qualified to help there with her language skills and horse knowledge. They are lucky to have her but we know you all will miss her terribly.
ReplyDeleteThat really, really is quite special for #1. Maybe y'all can keep in touch via Zoom or something. It is a really long time but it will zip by before you know it.
ReplyDeleteYour love for each other will grow even stronger while your #1 is at her job. Then there will be a joyous reunion!
ReplyDeleteWhat an honor #1, to have a job at the Olympics/Paralympics!!
We wish you safe travels, and a great experience.
What a great honor for #1 ! It's a very long time, but we know her friends will take good care of you. Purrs
ReplyDeleteWow ! That is quite an honor for # 1 ! We wish her safe travels and a good time, and know she will miss all of you too, but will leave you in good hands !
ReplyDeleteThat is such a wonderful honor and opportunity for #1. We wish her safe travels and a lot of fun.

Tama! You dangles are Olympic worthy! And #1 will be gone for 10 weeks! We are sure she will find great people who will love you while she is gone and CONGRATULATIONS #1! You ROCK!
ReplyDeleteHi beautiful Tama! Wow - what a cool thing for No. 1! But I hate it for you that she’s going to be gone so long. Still, you’ll be having adventures and we will still get to hear about them!
ReplyDeletePurrz!
