Momo's Manly Monday

 

Momo-Chan: Welcome to our weekly post where boys are the best they can be! And we have some very fine specimens here at Poupounette Central!

I had a great birthday celebration on Friday and then yesterday, Mr. G and family came for lunch, which was great. Mr. G had his camera, of course!



You can see all three of us, me, Fluff Puff, Benny the Black, and Dragon Ryū, in this one, even though it's a little blurry:


Here is Benny pre-washing the dessert bowls:


Ryū in the window hammock:


And a nice portrait of Woofie Ollie:


We hope you all have a great week!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: Greetings, Dear Friends, and welcome to our last SoS post for the month of March. Last night, we moved to summer time in Europe and so we lost a whole hour, but we don't care! And today is going to be a busy day as Mr. G and family are coming over for a late celebration of Momo-Chan's birthday!

I do have some nice snuggle pics to share with you, starting of course with one of me and #1:


Some cat then muscled in on my snuggle...


And we ended up like this!


That Benny is certainly a serial snuggler...


But Ryū-Chan is working hard to catch up to him! Look at him with Mr. G!


And getting his time on #1's lap:



Benny of course still snuggles a lot with Ollie:


#1 even managed to snag a snuggle selfie with Momo!


And to finish off this week's post, we even have snuggle pics with Violette and Heloise!



We wish you all a restful and snuggly Sunday!

A Fluffy Puffy Birthday for Momo!

 

#1 here. We love celebrations and today, we are celebrating our beloved Momo-Chan's third birthday! Let us start with a photo taken on the day I first met him, on June 2, 2022:


Here he is with his Mama, on the right, and his older sister. As you can see, everyone was white as snow, but not everyone was fluffy!


Momo came home on June 16, 2022, and went through a brief quarantine in the guest bathroom.


He learned about toys:


He got to know his big brother, Benny:



And met his even bigger brother, Ollie:


Momo settled in really well into life at Poupounette Central although he remained pretty shy. Queen Tama never even hissed at him once!





He celebrated his first Christmas:


And soon enough, it was his first birthday!


By which time he was best friends with Ollie!


Year #2 went by quickly, and Momo morphed into Fluff Puff!





And in July 2022 came the gift of a new little brother, Ryū-Chan!


Momo and Ryū became the best of friends and playmates!


Soon enough, it was time for Momo's second birthday!



The past year has been full of games and snuggles with brothers, and all manner of good things!







Sweet and gentle Momo is universally loved by all. He has lost some of his shyness over the years, and he adores all of his siblings. We feel so fortunate to have him among us, and look forward to sharing many more years with him.

This birthday portrait was taken yesterday. It was so sunny that he disappeared in the glow!


HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY TO OUR BELOVED MOMO 
(Momotarō - 桃太郎), aka FLUFF PUFF!

💖💝💖💙💚💛💜💖💝💖

Thankful Thursday

 

Ollie: Woofs, Everyone! It's me, Ollie! First of all, thank you so much for all the kind words and encouragement! You are just the best! I am happy to report that there have been no issues since #1 collected my special pills at the vet's on Monday. If you are interested, it's called Calmatonine XR. It is a two-layered pill that features an immediate release layer of alpha-casozepin, GABA, Valerian root and Passiflora, and a slow-release layer with tryptophan, Vitamin B6, and magnesium. It's good for any kind of stress. I am thankful to Dr. C for always looking after me so well, and to #1 who has been taking me on lots of long walks to encourage me to do better, and I am! Here are some nice springlike photos of me: 




PS: My favourite Fluff Puff is celebrating his birthday tomorrow. Please come and help us celebrate!

Wednesday Whinnies

 

Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone! #1 came to see us on Monday, and she brought some yummy apples with her! We got some serious brushies as this is the time of year when we shed our winter coats. This was after she has just started on me.

And this was after both Héloïse and I were done


That was a weight off!


Oh, and lest I forget, The Big V sent in this pic of himself. He says he hopes you haven't forgotten him. As if...!
