Woofie Wednesday

 

Ollie: yesterday, we went to see the horses, and my girls. It was already beginning to get pretty hot, so, unlike the usual scenes of mad playing pups, these are the pics that #1 got!

Lily and Leonie:

Me and Leonie:

Those terracotta tile floors stay pretty cool! It's going to be hot again today! #1 will be gone all day on a job, but Mr. G will be looking after us.

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: We are warm. Actually, we are HOT at the moment, just for a few days, though, and then it's supposed to cool down again. So we are just biding our time and staying cool in the downstairs of our home.

#1 managed to finish her various work projects in good time, doubtless due to my encouragement and presence.

The baby Dragon has been hanging around quite a bit. What #1 finds quite interesting is that he likes to hang out in the very same places as me!

I am a big fan of this particular spot:

When I want a bit of a change from my usual sleepy spot, I just hop up onto the back of the sofa and the soft blankie there.

But of course, my beddie is definitely the place to do my relaxing and dangling.

Before I leave you, Dear Friends, I just wanted to mention that I shall be back on Friday, as I shall be celebrating my Sweet 16th Birthday on August 2nd! Please make sure to join me for the festivities and a walk down memory lane.

Manly Monday

 

Momo-Chan: Soft Mews, Everyone! It's me, Momo! Peeking out at you from one of my sleepy spots:

Here is Benny, our very own panther, guarding some of Ollie's toys (Photo by Mr. G):

Here I am with baby Ryū out in the cat run. As you can see, I have a little ouchie on my head, but #1 has been putting cream on it and it's much better already

Ryū all tuckered out from too much playing:

Last but not least, we have another garden shot of Ollie. #1 thinks he looks like a puppy in this one!

We wish you all a very good week.

Some Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: Hello, Dear Friends. I need to start this with a bit of an apology. #1 has been very preoccupied this week with a lot of work to finish up and also some external nastiness that has shocked her deeply. As a result, we have fewer snuggle shots than usual.

I, of course, have been providing comfort and support!

And I have to say that that t-h-u-g Benny has also been doing his part:

The two youngsters, Momo and Ryū are too busy chasing each other and having fun. Here is a pic of Momo with Ollie:

And here is one of Ryū-Chan with Momo:

Oh, and The Big V sent us this shot of himself hiding behind his buddy, Karlito!

We wish you a lovely and snuggly Sunday!

Short Saturday!

 

Ryū-Chan: Mee-Yow, everyone! I wanted to say thank you for all the great messages I received yesterday on my first Gotchaversary! #1 has received an unexpected job that needs to be done now, so this is all we will be posting today. Here is a Gotchaversary pic for you!

Fantastic Friday - Ryū's First Gotchaversary!

 

Ryū-Chan: Meows, Everyone! It's your favourite little dragon here! Today makes it a whole year since I came to live at Poupounette Central with #1, Queen Tama, my two kitty bros, Benny and Momo, and my woofie bro, Ollie. It's been a great year, so I want to say a big thank you to my breeder, Ms. V and my Mama, Piccolo (aka Pickle) for letting me leave home and come here, and to my #1 for loving me as much as she does.

Here is a pic of me with Ms. V at the handover:

And my first selfie with #1 after we got home!

Early Days. I was really little!

I Loved my bro, Momo, right from the start:

I was so little that I had some great hiding places:

We became the Three Mouseketeers pretty quickly!

I felt very much at home!

I loved to hang out close to Queen Tama:

And I became an avid reader!

I love this shot of me at seven months with all of my feline siblings:

It took me a while to get used to my woofie bro, Ollie, but I eventually did:

I love my #1 even though she does hold me really tight when we snuggle!

I still like to sleep close to Queen Tama!

I love being out in the cat run with my bros:

And when it's not too warm. I love to snuggle under the covers with #1:

It's been such a great year. I can't wait to see what great adventures the next one will bring!

Thankful for Horses on Thursday

 

#1 here. Today, I would like to state once again how thankful I am to have horses in my life. Yesterday, I went to visit the Misses Violette and Heloise:

I also was able to admire Miss Ursula, one of Ms. C's mares, as well as her lovely hydrangea:

Then there was a romantic rendez-vous arranged between black stallion Luriste and grey Percheron filly Kalina! He was showing off, strutting his stuff!

And my friend Ms. P, with whom I went to the big agricultural show in Paris, came by with her beautiful Grand Noir du Berry jenny, Fringante (which means dashing/frisky):

I am thankful to be surrounded by these beautiful creatures and the lovely people around them!

PS: I feel I should repeat one more time that I SHALL NOT BE AT THE OLYMPICS! I am an official at the Paralympic Games, with the para-dressage competitions taking part the first week of September.

Wear it on Wednesday!

 

#1 here. When I mentioned last week going to get my uniform for the Paralympics (same as the one for the Olympics, actually) where I shall be officiating as a steward for the para-dressage events, to be held in the park of the Palace of Versailles, quite a few people requested that I post photos of myself modelling them. A couple of items have been taken to my dressmaker for alterations (sleeves and trouser legs too long), so this is somewhat curtailed, but here goes:

The shoes are black with pink (!) accents. In fact, everything has pink accents. At least a little splash of colour in the terminally dark shades of grey! We have also been issued with four pairs of socks, two light grey and two dark grey.

The Panama hat is pretty cool!

Back view of the "everyday polo shirt" with the everyday convertible trousers/shorts. We also have white long-sleeved shirts and "elegant" trousers, to be worn during competitions, along with an "elegant" sporty jacket. And there is a rain jacket which we hope we won't need.

See you in Versailles!

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: To be honest, Dear Friends, I have lost track of time a little as I have basked in the sweet joys of having #1 here plus abundant sunpuddles over the past week. This is life as it should be lived:

I have no complaints. Not. A. Single. One!

Manly Monday

 

Ollie: #1 said I could host this week's MM post given that there has been a strong feline focus of late. So, let me start with a pic of me in the garden:

The grass is so green and soft (because it has rained so much!) that it's lovely to lie in!

Next we have a couple of Benny shots by Mr. G:

Here is Momo out in the cat run:

And eating his favourite crunchies:

And we have Ryū-Chan going, going...

Gone!

Last but not least, The Big V sent us this nice shot of him (R) and Toscane (L) having a snack after finishing work one day:

We wish you all a good week!
