Tama-Chan Thursday - The Rainbow Queen

 

Rainbow Queen Tama: Greetings, Dear Friends, and welcome back to another episode of my life story. I hope you are not getting bored. #1 says it takes her several hours to put together the photos for each post, and I do hope you are enjoying them. So, here is 2019 for you.

January 2019 - A sad start to the year after the loss of Tommy:

But I looked for sunpuddles wherever I could find them.

And, at the end of the month, this arrived! Ollie certainly livened things up quickly!

February 2019 -  Trying to get back to normal.

Here I am with little Genji. He always was a very sweet boy.

I started to get into dangling:

And worked to make friends with Ollie:

March 2019 - I started to spend more time with my boy Bibi. My maternal instinct knew that there was something not quite right with him, as he was taken to see Dr. C several times.

#1 tried to reassure me:

But a mother knows...

I distracted myself with my dangling:

April 2019 - I was getting more and more worried.

We spent time together in the cat run:

But he was getting thinner and thinner...

But what could I do?

Other than snuggle with #1 as much as possible:

May 2019 - It was not a good month, Dear Friends. I watched my boy fade away in front of my eyes and, by the end of the month, Beebs was gone. We were all devastated.

I helped #1 write up his memorial post:

June 2019 - Once again, we had to pull ourselves up by our bootstraps. It was just me, Genji, and little Ollie now.

#1 and I comforted each other as best we could:

July 2019 - And then it was full summer:

Hot enough to need to air out my tummy!

August 2019 - Time for another birthday. On August 2nd, I turned 11. The years certainly had flown by! I celebrated with an aria in the cat run.

#1 told me I was lovelier than ever.

September 2019 - As the days started to shorten, we all sought comfort.

October 2019 - #1 was gone, to Japan, almost the whole month, so the photos were few. It was a comfort to have Genji there, though.

November 2019 - It was such a joy to have #1 back with us!

December 2019 - And thus another year came to an end, once more marked by terrible loss. We closed the year hoping against hope for a quiet year to come, but it was not to be. 2020 brought with it its very own tragedies.

My boy, Bibi, had loved to sit in the dryer, among the warm and dry laundry, so I decided to try it too.

And we had our neighbour, Fernant, with us for the holidays. He reminded me of happy times with Tommy.

And that, Dear Friends, was 2019.

Wednesday Whinnies - New Pastures!!!

 

Violette (And The Big V too!): Pretty Neighs, Dear Friends! Thank you for being so patient after all the hints that we had a big announcement coming up. Unforeseen circumstances made it necessary for #1 to find The Big V and me a new pasture to call our own. Everything happened fairly quickly and then, on Monday, we actually moved! Some really lovely English friends of #1 offered us their lovbeautifulely field, which is at thew bottom of their garden. It's big, with tall trees for shade in the summer, and there is even a pond. And there's lots and lots of the lushest grass!

In the lorry, ready to go:

The drive was about 20 minutes. When we arrived, Ms. C unloaded me first, and then The Big V:

And there was our wonderful new pasture! We started munching on the delicious grass right away!

#1 did make sure we had hay available as well, but who needs hay when the grass is so delish?

We were also provided with delicious fresh water:

As though to celebrate our arrival, there was a beautiful sunset:

Then, the next morning, we snuck into the garden, looking for a cup of tea!

Ms. L thought it was hilarious, but #1 said she would be giving us a bit of a talking to when she comes today. Apples and carrots too, of course!

In case you are wondering, Heloise and Philomena will be staying with Ms. C as she owns a majority stake in Heloise and Philomena outright. But #1 says she is planning to swing by there regularly to get news updates and photos.

Thrills on Tuesday

 

Ollie: Woofs, everyone! Ollie here. #1 hasn't yet managed to get all the photos she needs for Queen Tama's next post, so that will once again be on Thursday, and she said I could fill in. I wanted to show you more photos of the fun I had with my pals Jarrod and Popeye.

First, we bumped into Jarrod and his person, and so we started playing together:

Then we met Popeye and his person. We started with a little meet and greet:

And then we were off!

We had the bestest time!

Manly Monday With Momo

 

Momo-Chan: Purrs, Everyone! Fluff Puff here for our first Manly post for the month of March. We've had nice weather over the past few days and #1 says it will stay like this for a few days. Woo Hoo! She has been busy out in the garden, hacking away at brambles and generally trying to get things under control. Ollie has been supervising.

On the subject of Ollie, he met up with a couple of pals, Jarrod and Popeye, on his morning walk the other day and they had the best time together! He will share more photos later in the week.

#1 has been getting some really good photos of Benny lately, so here are a couple for you:

Here I am, hanging out on the bed:

And here is Ryū, clearly entranced by something!

We apologise for not having a pic of The Big V today. Please make sure to join us on Wednesday when we will share some, and a big announcement!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Benny: Hello, Everyone! Here I am, Benny The Black, with our weekly round up of snuggles for you. Let me start with myself. As soon as #1 is in bed, in the evening, I am always there to accompany her:

And I am there in the morning, with Ollie, when she wakes up!

Quite often, my bro, Momo, is there too. On a sunny day, his white coat is almost blinding!

The other day, I rather unusually snuggled with little dragon Ryū in the evening:

He really is so much smaller than either me or Momo. But he is like quicksilver!!! He is continuing to  help #1 with her work, as Queen Tama used to do:

And we have a nice one of Ollie having a snuggle with our friend, Ms. L, a few days ago:

We wish you all a lovely and snuggly Sunday.
