Benny: How handsome is too handsome? #1 says she is wordless...
Tama-Chan: Welcome, Dear Friends, to the best day of my week, the day when I share my news and views with all of you! Of course, the best thing about this Tuesday is that #1 is back. She returned early afternoon yesterday after stopping over to get me some of my favourite kitten chicken pouches and also some fresh salmon, as today is a holiday and most stores are closed.
Now let me see what I have for you in terms of photos, given that #1 was gone for several days. I don't have much to share with you today, but Mr. G did take this rather nice shot of me whilst she was away:
Momo-Chan: Hello, Friends Far and Wide! We hope you had a great weekend. We were very well looked after by Mr. G and we are even happier that #1 should be back with us fairly early in the afternoon. In the interim, here are a few manly photos for you.
Let's start with Ollie out for a walk with #1 before she went away:
Violette: Pretty Neighs, my friends! How are you? We know that we horses have not been very present of late, but we have a full array of photos for you today! I shall of course start with me!
Benny: Well, let's be blunt. #1 is abandoning us today and she won't be back until Monday afternoon. She will be stewarding at the French national dressage and para-dressage championships. We hate it when she goes away. On the other paw, Mr. G will be looking after us and we all love him to bits. So we are thankful for him, even though we're a tad thankless at #1's absence. Does that make sense to you?
Ollie: It is now a few days in the past, but I wanted to tell you about one day last week. Mr. G and Ms. N came over and we all spent some time outside, trimming branches and cleaning gutters. Then we came inside and, oddly enough, we all went upstairs to the guest bathroom. Can you guess what happened next? Well, here it is in pictures!
Tama-Chan: Hello, Dear Friends! It's lovely to be back with all of you this Thursday, so that I can share with you the utter joy of the gift I received from #1. She ordered me a heated pad for my weary joints and I simply adore it! Whereas I often used to sleep curled up into a tight ball, I now stretch out so that every single bit of me can take advantage of the glorious heat. Behold the proof!
My cup is full, Dear Friends!
Momo-Chan: Welcome back to Momoland on Monday! It is always my pleasure to host this day of the week. Did you see the pics of my brother Benny getting a pedicure? Well, that's not happening with me... Why? I have such serious toehawks that it's really hard for #1 to even see my claws!
So here is a nice one of me:
Tama-Chan: Welcome to the first SoS post for November! As you know, an SoS post is very different from an SOS post! Happily, we are dealing with the former! We have had a pretty snuggly week at this end, so let's get going!
Let's start with Ollie this week. He got special cuddles yesterday when he and #1 went to see Ms. C taking part in an apple fair with one of her Percherons:
Benny: No, it's not THAT snip-snip. That would be old news for all of us. In fact, #1 was beginning to suffer seriously from my claws of doom digging into her and so decided I needed them clipped. As Mr. G and Ms. N were over, I had settled on Ms.N's knee, so was perfectly positioned for #1 to do what needed to be done. May I mention that I was an extremely good boy? And thanks to Mr. G for the photos!
Ryū-Chan: #1 realised that she had some really nice pics of me, mostly taken by Mr. G, which she had not shared yet, so she said I could have a post all to myself. I hope you like them!
