Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: Greetings, Dear Friends, and welcome to our SoS post, which is also a bit of an SOS post! You see, #1 is abandoning us for more than one night for the first time since she returned from Japan in early September. You might say that we have done quite well, keeping her close to home for almost seven months, but still... She is leaving us for eight whole nights! Why, you may ask? Well, she is driving up to Deauville, on the coast of Normandy, this afternoon, and Monday through Wednesday, she will be taking a course to become an FEI steward in para-dressage. This is a direction she decided on when she was at the Paralympics in Tokyo, and she is pretty thrilled to be getting close. Once that is over, she will be working the same magic as she did in Tokyo (she hopes)  prior to and during the big international para-dressage competition there (April 1 to 3). Many of the wonderful people she met in Tokyo will be there, and she is so excited to see them and their horses again! So, I guess we'll forgive her, especially that Mr. G will be looking after us.

So, there will probably not be an SOS post next Sunday, and we have to make up for that in advance today! Firstly, here I am giving #1 some loving on the sofa:

And again:

Here is Benny, giving #1 her morning kisses in bed:

As for this one of the two boys snuggled up in bed in the morning, good luck in figuring out where Ollie stops and Benny starts!

#1 got to go and see the horses twice last week. Here is a nice one with The Big V that Ms. C took on Monday:

Plus a selfie!

And a nice one with Hotesse from Wednesday:

And Miss Violette:

It was complicated with Heloise, because the sun was in exactly the wrong place, so this is as good as we managed!

And on the subject of blurred photos, Ms. C took one of #1 being smooched by both Lily and her friend Melba. Too bad the light was all wrong! She tried to improve it as much as possible, and this is the result:

We are not sure if we will be able to post every day whilst #1 is away. She will prepare a couple of posts before she goes and then see how it goes. There may be some pics of her cheating on the Vs and Hs with other horses...
