Vidock and Violette Vendredi

Vidock: With her being sick and all that, we haven't seen as much of #1 as usual and we miss her! Still, we had a bit of fun the other day, when Mr. JPD came to ride me. What do you think of my Christmas look?

Violette: That boy is such a ham! I just concentrate on going to see #1 as soon as I hear her car coming down the drive!

Tommy's Thankful Thursday

Tommy: First of all, #1 has asked me to thank all of you for your kind words. Her colds tend to be epic and this one is no different but she is thankful that she can take the time to rest and says she will be as good as new in no time thanks to our very good care of her (and soup!).

As you can imagine, my walks have been somewhat curtailed, which she says is not a bad thing for my still there slight limp. But I am thankful that she has walked with me to the top of the lane and back even though she wasn't feeling great. She took this lovely picture in the morning light yesterday:

And one of me in the sunshine!

Winning (?) Wednesday

Da Beebs: I am not sure that "winning" is the right title although I couldn't come up with anything better. #1 had not gone to Paris! The reason, sadly, is that she's feeling totally rotten and couldn't face it. A violently sore throat has made sleeping difficult. Da Genj remains at his post when she is in bed and sweet Sei-Chan actually glued herself to her at one point to try and make her feel better. She was also out all afternoon yesterday, working on a project that will be pretty exciting for the Vs next May, and we consider that more than enough activity, so today, she is staying in bed and we are supervising!

Tama-Chan Tuesday

Tama-Chan: We had lots of sunpuddles yesterday although they will probably be a bit thin on the ground today. #1 served me my breakfast as I most prefer it, al fresco in the cat run! Overall, though, it's nicer to be indoors, close to the radiators. #1 calls this one my "sausage shot"!

And this of course is my favourite spot in the radiator hamock:

 

And then there is the new zabuton, although I think I look a bit pudgy in this one:

 

 

Oh, and did you see the Mother and Son picture of me and my Beebs. He looks enormous next to me but that's because he is sitting up much straighter!

We are continuing to take good care of #1. She did go to see the doctor yesterday and got some meds. She is going to be naughty and go to Paris for the day on Wednesday and we are not sure we approve...

Manly Monday

Tommy: Well, #1 being "under the weather" means that my walks continue to be curtailed but that doesn't matter. If she's in bed, I just snooze by her side. She did take this rather manly and (she says) very beautiful portrait of me a few days ago:

 

Vidock: Of course, I call it studly, but it's pretty much the same thing...

You may kiss:

 

Da Genj: I am very busy with nursing duties at the moment. Here is a nice shot that #1 snagged a few days ago:

 Da Beebs:How about this for a manly sunpuddle shot?

 

Da Trav: #1 says she loves the way I am also there when she brings my supper and tuck in with such pleasure. I have been making soft eyes at her to say thank you.

 

Wishing you all a great week. We are going to be taking it a bit easy until #1 feels better.

Snuggles on Sunday (truncated version)

Tama-Chan: We are late with our SoS post today, Dear Friends. This is because (a) our scribe went  out partying late at a friend's 18th birthday party and (b) she now has a cold and is feeling sorry for herself. We will be nursing her over the next few days but will insist she continues to take care of our blog posts because we know it will make her feel better.

It has been another busy week and so the post will probably have a few absences, but I, for a start, was snugging away as usual:

 

And my Beebs also enjoyed some birthday snuggles with Tommy:

 

For some reason, though, Sei-Chan and Da Genj are MIA this week. The Vs, however were all snuggles with #1: 

 

 Oh, and in other news, we finally got our Christmas tree!

Remember, Sunday is for snuggling!

SEIturday

Sei-Chan: Can you believe, Dear Friends, that we had to wait until yesterday to get those promised sunpuddles? And #1 was out almost all day and couldn't ake any photos, so we were left with this:

 

I call that my "looking for sunpuddles" shot. 

As you can imagine, it was a long and tiring job...

 

Let's see what the sunpuddle count will be next week. In the meantime, have a lovely SEIturday!
