Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: Hello, Dear Friends, and welcome to our weekly round-up of love at Poupounette Central. Before, I forget, #1 is slightly shamefaced in that she forgot that yesterday was little dragon Ryū-Chan's second Gotcha Day! We were reminded by one of our kind blogging friends! She must have known something subconsciously, though, as he was featured on yesterday's post. And should we really be celebrating two years of mayhem, I ask you? She did manage to get something vaguely resembling a snuggle shot with him:



As for me, I have a combo brushies and snuggle shot for you. I do love those brushies!


#1 managed to snag a pretty cute shot of the B&W boys, Benny and Momo, the other day:


This one is a bit dark, but here is Benny giving #1 some serious loving first thing in the morning:


And here he is with Ollie, both tucked up against #1:


In case you were wondering, Momo has been getting in his share of snuggling with Ollie too!


And Ollie got to snuggle with one of his favourite people, Ms. H, the other day!


We wish you a lovely Sunday and lots of snuggles. I have a big week coming up, and will tell you more about that on Tuesday.

Sunny Saturday?

 

Ryū-Chan: They say it's going to be sunny today. I hope they're right!

Feline Friday

 

Benny: It's grey and rainy again today, but we've been promised sunshine for tomorrow, so we are biding our time!

Thankful Thursday

 

Today, we are thankful about several things. One is that Ms. C's other pregnant mare was safely delivered of a beautiful colt. His name is Phileas and he will be grey, even though he is black as night at the moment!


He is a handsome little fella!


Right now, he is hanging out with his Mama, Kaline. But in a while, they will join Heloise and Philomena who will show him how to make best use of his naughty gene!

Our lovely Philomena is now three months old, for which we are thankful. She looks quite brown but she will be black! She is a happy little (!) thing!


And we have one more thankful for today. Ms. P's jenny, Carmen, had a lovely donkey filly whose name is Pivoine (that's Peony in French). The little girl had a problem around her navel area and it was touch and go for a while. We are so thankful that she is now all better!

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: I can't believe it's Tuesday again. I don't know where the days and weeks go! We've had a LOT of rain these past few days. The ground really needed it so we're not complaining, but it will make the garden look even more like a jungle!

I have been busy with my usual duties of supervising #1 at work:


... and my usual occupations:



Oh, and take a look at this photo:


You see where that little scamp is dangling on his hammock? That is what I consider the perfect place for him; asleep and where I can keep an eye on him!

Momo's Manly Monday

 

Momo-Chan: Hello everyone! Your pal, Fluff Puff aka Momo here! I hope you are all well, and would like to welcome you to our weekly cornucopia of manliness. This week, we shall start with our woofie bro, Ollie, because #1 took a really handsome and manly pic of him!


Next up is one of me and my bro, Benny:


Followed by one of me doing a rather good dangle:


Here is young Ryū looking quite princely:


And Benny looking not at all princely!!!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: Hello, Dear Friends. Sorry we did not post yesterday. #1 picked up a couple of extra shifts at her part-time job on Friday and Saturday and time got too tight. We are all fine and thankful for the much-needed rain that has been falling since yesterday evening. The garden is breathing again! And the temps are a lot more pleasant!

#1 hasn't had a lot of time to take photos this week but let me see what I can find. A s you know, I love to snuggle up to her when she is working at the computer:


And elsewhere too. Everywhere is good for snuggling, right?


There is always competition for #1's lap, especially from Benny!


Here is a morning group snuggle with Ollie, Benny and Momo:


And here is little Philomena getting a kiss from her Mama, Heloise:


Sharing a snuggle with Ms. C: 



We also have some "non-gang" snuggle pics for you. Ms. P now has two baby donkeys and #1 got this cute pic of her snuggling with them (one girl and one boy):



And here are two of Ms. C's dogs, Leonie and Kuma, snuggled up together:


We wish you all a lovely and snuggly Sunday1

Family Friday

 

Philomena: Little neighs, everyone! How are you all doing? I am fine and growing like a weed (so they say!). My mummy and I are now in a bigger field with some ponies and I have become friends with one of them. I'll share a picture soon. In the meantime, here I am with my mummy, Heloise.


And here is a family shot from Poupounette Central with Ollie, BennyMomo and Ryu:


It's going to be a scorcher here today so we're all planning to stay cool!

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny: #1 was gone all of yesterday but she said it was for a good cause, as she was busy making €€ to buy us more delicious food and treats, and we are thankful to her. Mr. G and Ms. N swung by during the day to take out Ollie and make sure we had everything we needed, and we are thankful that #1 was back by 6pm.

I am also thankful for my wonderful woofie bro, Ollie. I Love hanging out with him.

Woofie Wednesday

 

Ollie: Woofs, everyone! Ollie here. As usual, I had a great time with Mr. G whilst #1 was away, but it was also great to see her back! She brought me lots and lots of yummy foods and treats back from England! It has been a little less warm but it's still up there, so we've been doing our walks early and they have been shorter than usual.



In other news, I think that #1 has already mentioned in these pages that I am a complicated eater. At times, I eat normally, morning and evening, but sometimes, I won't have my breakfast until much later. The weird thing (according to her) is that I usually then want my dinner at the usual time.

So, here I am, breakfasting at 5pm:


And then dining at 8pm!


Well, I hear that Tommy often wouldn't eat at all unless he was served in the car, so who's the weird one here, I ask you?!

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: hello again, Dear friends! It's nice to be back to our regular routine over here. Mr. G took excellent care of us but I don't think he served me quite the total of my 8 meals and snacks a day. So, I have decided to be more vocal about when I need to be fed (now!) and #1 does snap to attention!

I have resumed my regular duties helping #1:



As usual, #1 came back with a very full car (boot/trunk and back seat). There was a lot of food for Ollie and quite a bit for us, along with treats, of course! But one is also interested in other things, of course... Like, for example, these delicious Naan breads stuffed with Halloumi cheese (purchased at Costco, whatever that is!).


I also have a guest today. Her name is Purdy and she lives with a mancat called Sherlock, with #1's old friend, Ms. N. They were both adopted from the legendary Battersea home and have featured before on the blog,  but here is Purdy again. No offence to Sherlock, of course, but he is a boy and the boys will just have to feature him in one of their posts!



We have spoken before of the heart on her back.


Purdy did #1 the great honour of sleeping on her open suitcase all night!


I hope you enjoyed today's post!
