Fangful Friday

 

Ryū-Chan: MeeYOW, Everyone. Your favourite little dragon here. This will be a short post but we wanted to say thank you to all the people who left nice, supportive comments yesterday after we posted about #1's terrible experience. The divorce is now complete. They did pay her something, although a far cry from what she was supposed to earn. We may have to cut back on treats for a while. I just wanted to say that if anyone hurts her like that again, they will have to deal with my fangs and my dragon fire!

Thankless Thursday

 

Tama-Chan: Don't worry, Dear Friends. We are all OK, but our poor #1 has been through the wars and is feeling thankless and hopeless. As you know, she was away in Belgium for a few days to do a course to become a dressage steward for the International Equestrian Federation. This is a useful addition to her existing qualification as a para-dressage steward. We are happy (and thankful!) to report that she passed the course and the three tests that came with it, but several of those attending failed and she feels really bad for them.

More traumatic for her is that the big project she has been working on 24/7 for the past month imploded yesterday. We had mentioned that the client was being very difficult, but when they became insulting and nasty, accusing her of being incompetent,  #1 had no choice other than to file for a divorce. Now she is waiting to hear if they will pay her properly for all the work she already did rather than try to cheat her. We are doing our best to comfort her.

Fraternal Fun Friday!

 

Momo-Chan: Hello Everyone, Fluff-Puff here! Some people around here have been accusing me of being a blog hogger, but what can I say? That I have a lot to say! So here is today's fun post for you. Interspersed with the photos of me are photos of my bro! His name is Tokyo and he lives with Dr. C's vet tech. Our two #1s agree that we look totally alike. Do you agree? Can you tell us apart?

In other news, #1 says thank you for the words of support yesterday. The fact is that she is going away tomorrow, to Belgium for four days to do a training course to become an FEI steward in dressage (in addition to being a para-dressage steward). It will be really hard work but she says she is so looking forward to the change of air and focus! It will be like a holiday. So we are allowing it. Mr. G will be looking after us, as usual. #1 will be back next Tuesday evening, and we will not be blogging until then. Please forgive us and don't forget us!

Thankless Thursday

 

Ollie: Woofs, Everyone! Ollie here! It's #1 who is feeling thankless, not us! Her client is being a huge pain. She is exhausted and worried, and has been known to use bad words numerous times a day. We are trying to give comfort, but I am afraid I did not help by rolling in something she did not like and needing a bath:

I am also limping again as I over-exerted myself running around and playing with everyone at Ms. C's

But I had a great time, and I also smell sweet! Don't worry, we're all looking after #1!

Wednesday Whinnies

 

Heloise: "Helo" everyone! My big sis, Violette, said I should host this week, so here I am. We had a great time when #1 finally took a break from work and came to visit us last Saturday. Both #1 and Ms. C took photos. We posted the best one on the SoS post last Sunday, but we have several more.

First, we got our apples:

I was really eager to get at the Polo Mints. For our friends who are not familiar with them, they are round mint candy (for humans) with a hole in the middle, and all horses love them!

We were both looking a tad muddy!

A lovely portrait of Violette to close:

We're hoping that #1 comes back soon but she is off to Belgium for four days from Saturday and then has to get right back to her project, so it may be a little while.

Oh and I almost forgot! One of my half brothers, Etna, is on his way to Scotland, to live with good friends of #1. We have the same daddy, Titus, and I think we do like alike. What do you think?

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: Hello, Dear Friends, and Welcome! I'm a little busy at the moment as #1 is tearing her hair out. She has been working on this project day in, day out, and now the client is being really difficult, asking for more and more. I don't understand it at all as I have carefully checked each report before she submits it.

Anyway, she says she's doing the Zoomies with the client late morning, so hopefully they can figure things out.

I've been pretty good about doing my dangling this past week:

"I'm done for now, #1, so I'm going to take a nap."

Momo's Manly Monday

 

Momo-Chan: Greetings, Pals around the world and welcome to our Manly Monday post as hosted by me, "Fluff Puff" Momo!

We had a nice, sunny, weekend and I confess that I spent a good chunk of it napping in the window hammock:

I hope you like my combo paw and tail dangle!

I did also spend some time hanging out with my little bro, Ryū:

Here he is, showing off his soft stomach furs:

More proof of how nice and sunny it's been in this shot she got of me:

#1 also got some nice "front and back" pics of Benny!

And here's a nice portrait of handsome Ollie!

To round it all out, here is the one and only Big V for you!

Wishing you all a good week. Since someone asked, #1's project is far from over. She has now handed in reports on three out of six companies, so she's half way through!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: Snuggly Greetings, Dear Friends. It's Sunday and, even though we snuggle each and every day, we consider Sundays to be that little bit more special, as we look back on an entire week of love at Poupounette Central.

Since it's been a while, we think it is only fitting that we kick off with Misses Violette and Heloise. #1 finally got to go and see them yesterday, and Ms. C took some great shots! These are our two favourites:

They got lots of love, carrots, apples, and a whole roll of Polo Mints!

Back at Poupounette Central, I have of course been snuggling with #1:

As have Benny and Ryū-Chan:

Benny has of course been snuggling with Ollie:

Isn't that little paw cute?

#1 did not manage to snag a shot with Momo, so here is a spare one from last week for you:

And that's it from us for another week of snuggles!

Finally (or Frantic?) Friday

 

Momo-Chan: Most people rejoice when it's Friday but #1 is seriously stressed as she is beset by multiple deadlines, so I am trying to set a good example to help her relax a little. We probably will not be blogging tomorrow, so see you on Sunday!

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny: I am thankful for my woofie bro, Ollie. I just love hanging out with him!

He makes the softest pillow!

In fact, I have written a song about how wonderful he  is and #1 managed to catch me just when I was rehearsing it! It is definitely to be sung from rooftops!

Winks on Wednesday

 

Forty or more...

With Ryū-Chan:

Momo-Chan:

And Benny!

Our thanks to Mr. G for the photos!

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: It's already the second week of February and it's raining, again. Anyway, thank you for stopping by my weekly post. #1 did manage to get some fun pics of me sitting in my beloved crate, in a sunpuddle that created all kinds of patterns on my face!

Before I forget, here is what my food bowl looks like. I really enjoy my food, but so does Ollie and #1 gets really angry with him when he steals it!

The little yellowish blobs you can see are my meds which #1 wraps in Laughing Cow cheese. I eat everything up like a good girl! I get four such meals a day, plus the odd snackette or two.

#1 got a photo of me doing an "under and over" dangle with my hind legs!

You know, that Benny Boy is a funny one. Sometimes, he is perfectly pleasant, and others, he is an absolute little horror. I wish I could figure him out. Here he is in one of his good phases:

And lastly for today, a nice portrait of me taken by Mr. G with his fancy camera:
