Thankful Thursday

 

Ollie: The weather has been a little bit wild this week, and today it is very windy. I am thankful that #1 and I have managed to keep up with our walks, even if they have been shorter than usual.

Where's Momo on Wednesday?

 

Looking for Momo and the only thing to be found is white fluff...

Momo-Chan: Did somebody call me?

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: Welcome, Dear Friends! It is always such a pleasure to see you all. I just love Tuesdays, you know! So, the Benny boy celebrated his fifth birthday yesterday. I can barely remember what it was like to be five! I must have been so very young!

We were told that there would be quite a lot of rain this week, but #1 and Ollie were quite lucky with their walks yesterday. As for me, I even managed to catch a sunpuddle for a Globat effect!

I am also rather pleased with this nice one that #1 took a few days ago:

The last one I have for you today is further proof that #1 looks after me well. Yesterday evening, I had eaten about half of my early supper when I saw that she was at the computer, so I left the rest and went to sit with her. She got up and went to retrieve my dish and put it next to her so I could finish my meal, which I did!

As an extra treat, here is a pic of the nice autumn colours on our lane that #1 and Ollie get to admire on their walks.

Manly Monday - HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENNY!

 

#1 here, taking over from Momo just for today, to kick off this post celebrating our beloved Benny's 5th birthday. We are not sure of his exact date of birth, only that it was in October 2020, and chose the 20th. Benny has bought nothing but joy to this house in the almost five years he has been with us. He actually arrived at Poupounette Central in March 2021, at around five months old. His official name is BENKEI, a famous warrior monk in Japan's past. He is the first panther to grace this house and definitely wins the title of snuggliest cat!

We shall let the pictures tell his story, dividing them by year.

Starting with 2021:

2022 - the year that Momo "Fulff Puff"  joined us!

2023 and the arrival of little Dragon Ryū!

2024:

And this year, 2025!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our handsome BENNY

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: And it is Sunday once more, time for our round-up of some of the week's best snuggles, or rather of the snuggles that #1 managed to catch on camera!

That little Dragon scamp Ryū is giving Benny a run for his treats in terms of occupying #1's lap in the evenings!

But Benny is never short of partners to snuggle with. There is of course Ollie. Good luck finding him in this shot:

And lately, he has also been curling up with Momo:

I of course just snuggle with #1. I mean, who would want to snuggle with those little ruffians?

To round things off, we have a pretty cute pic of Ollie giving his daughter, Lily, a little kiss:

Wishing you all a snuggly Sunday!

Sunny Saturday

 

With Momo!

Vidock & Co Vendredi

 

The Big V: Handsome neighs, EveryFriend! I have this niggling feeling that somebody with a name also beginning with V is going to accuse me of hogging the blog again! What can I say? I'm baaaaacck! Plus, I have interesting stuff to report this week.

On Wednesday evening, an amazing vet who is also an osteopath came to see me to try and make me feel better in terms of back pain. He came all the way from Belle-Île en Mer which is about 360km (225 miles) away! He comes to my neck of the woods once a month and was recommended to #1 by my breeders. I thought he was really cool and #1 really liked him too. He said I trotted much better than he expected me to, and thinks I should start to feel better very soon following his manipulations. Here are some pics #1 took of the consultation:

Just so that they don't whinge too much, here is a nice sunset pic of Heloise and Philomena:

And of course, here is the one and only Miss Violette!

It's Friday, so here is wishing you all a cool weekend!
