Sei-Chan's Souvenir Saturday

 

Rainbow Sei: Well, hello everyone! It's great to be back after a hiatus of several weeks! I have some nice photos lined up for you. They were all taken in October, 2016 for those of us who were around at that time, and other years for the rest. I hope you enjoy them.

Today, let us start with Tommy who always has a happy smile on his face, and a ball near him!

Next we have beautiful Glowing Genji:

And handsome Beebs:

Not forgetting little ole me!

Going way back, we have Ikkyu:

And then sweet Sen-Chan:

Followed by soulful Yuu-Chan:

Trav at play in the fields:

And beautiful Hotesse, seen here with her daughter, Doucette, and Wowie, the cow:

Be well, Dear Friends! I'll be back again soon with more wonderful memories.

Vidock Vendredi!

 

Vidock: Handsome Neighs, EveryFriend! The Big V here! Guess what? I'm back!!! I retired from my job and have returned to Ms. C's place. My joints aren't what they used to be, but I know Ms. C and #1 will take excellent care of me! Here are some pics that #1 took after I got back yesterday. The first two are of Mr. B saying thank you and goodbye after I helped him out over the past couple of years. Needless to say, #1 had brought me carrots!

I look forward to catching up with all of you more regularly!

Thankful Thursday With Ollie

 

Ollie: Woofs Everyone! The weather is glorious at the moment and I have been enjoying the sun and running in the fields, for which I am very thankful!

Yesterday, I was running in the big field and...

... look at what I sprung!

Can you see it? It was jumping so high as it ran off!

When #1 was away last weekend, Mr. G and Ms. N took me with them to visit Ms. L, Mr. G's sister. That's where my pal, Paddie lives. I always have a great time with her!

I am thankful to have such a great friend!

Wordless (almost) Wednesday

 

Sunpuddling with Ryū

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: Greetings, Dear Friends! I held #1 to her promise to post today. She has been running around like a lunatic and she says she doesn't know when things are going to calm down. But she also explained that this means that business is good and will keep us in our favourite foods and treats, so I guess we should give her some leeway...

So, as you can imagine, photos are a little thin on the ground right now, but she did take this really nice picture of me:

I do however have a guest photo this week. This is Henriette. She is the resident cat at Haras du Pin, where the horsey event was held. They had forgotten to feed her on Sunday morning so #1's friend, Ms. D, brought supplies. She is a lovely tortie girl:

Mares on Monday

 

#1 here. Although I am back from the Percheron championship, there is a mountain of catching up to do. I promise to return to regular posting tomorrow. In the interim, here are two pretty girls  from the championship. Both belong to friends.

Thankful Thursday

#1 here. As I go off for almost four days to the French Percheron Championships, it's my turn to be thankful. I am thankful for Mr. G who always takes such loving care of the Gang when I am not here. I am thankful that Queen Tama is still with us one year after her liver tumour diagnosis. She has lost weight and condition but is still into food, snuggles, and getting brushed, and she still won't put up with any bad behaviour from the boys! Every single day with her is a gift.

I am also thankful that I got to spend time with some adorable baby donkeys and calves yesterday. Here are a couple of non-Gang pics:

A Grand Noir du Berry donkey baby. There were only 14 births in the breed in the whole of France this year.

A Normand calf:

Woofie Wednesday

 

Ollie: Woofs, everyone. #1 is getting into panic mode. Today, we are taking German friends to see our foals, Ms. P's baby donkeys, and some Normandy cows. It's going to be a busy day, so I've been resting up!

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: Greetings from the Queen of The Poupounette! Tuesday is my favourite day of the week, although I do like Sundays too. I hope it's yours too!

I shall start with this shot of me on the lookout for yet another snack. #1 is pretty good about keeping them coming throughout the day.

I do like my double condo, and feel quite safe there. The blue one is roomier and so better for taking naps. You never know who might be watching or what their intentions are, do you?

It has not escaped my attention that a certain little twerp is trying to claim my beddie for himself. I'mm glad that #1 makes sure he is removed when I want to use it.

By the way, yesterday #1 roasted a chicken and I got my share straight out of the oven (after it had cooled down a bit!). It was delicious. Sorry about the mess and the blurring.

I'm glad that #1 will be back in time for my post next week. We'll just need to make sure that Mr. G takes some nice pics in the interim.

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: Waves paws and tail... Hey everyone, Fluff Puff here with more great manly pictures. #1 took this nice one of me. It shows that I am a real champ when it comes to relaxing! I think Queen Tama was quite impressed with my dangle too.

Lately, she has been taking some really great pics of Benny, or maybe he's just gotten better at keeping his eyes open? Anymeow, here is another fine one of Benny Da Black:

As for our naughty little dragon Ryū, #1 has had to get cross with him as he has been trying to claim Queen Tama's beddie, a big no-no around here. He's a cheeky little thing, that one!

Ollie has really been enjoying his gambols in the fields, but not the deburring that follows. Here is a fun pic #1 took of him:

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: And another week gone by, just like that! September will be over before we ever got used to it! #1 has a busy week next week and will be busy (read away) again with Percheron stuff from Wednesday through Sunday. Mr. G will be here to spoil us, as usual. This is to explain that there won't be an SoS post next Sunday, so enjoy this one to the full!

I of course snuggled with #1 as I always do:

The nice man came to service our water softener. He is a big cat lover and so I graced him with a snuggle:

In other news, Benny continues to occupy #1's lap most evenings.

And to snuggle with Ollie:

As well as Momo:

Here is Ryu up close and personal with #1. We will leave you to guess in what circumstances the photo was taken...

#1 got in some good snuggles with little Philly last week!

We wish you all a Sunday and a week full of snuggles!

Saturday Selfie

 

Benny: It's me, Benny Da Black again! #1 was having trouble coming up with something for today's post so I suggested she put up this really nice pic of me looking regal and serious. It's perfect, isn't it?

Family Friday

 

Benny: Mee-YOW everyone. It's Benny Da Black here. #1 said I could host because I am such a family guy. Let me start with this nice pic of me and my bros, Momo and Ollie:

And here I am again, this time just with Momo:

Different angle:

And here I am with my baby bro, Ryū, trying out a news scratcher/toy:

And some distance from Poupounette Central, Heloise and Philomena are making the most of their mother-daughter relationship. Whenever little Phileas gets too close, Philly sees him off quickly!

Happy Friday, everyone!
