Thankful Thursday

 

Benny: As you can imagine, we are most thankful this week to have our #1 back after her stay in Belgium, and we are proud of her for passing her course!

As many of you guessed, she did not forget us. On her way up and on her way back, she stopped at the great discount shops and got quite a haul for us. Here I am examining it:



And here are some close-ups. these are some of the yummy cat foods:



And she got a bunch of these for Ollie. She mixes them in with the more boring dog food and he loves it!


I think we'll keep her! She does good work! Thanks, #1!

Woofie Wednesday

 

Ollie: To celebrate #1's return, the weather was beautiful yesterday, and we took a couple of lovely walks up the lane and into the fields.

This is the view from the top of the field that is behind our house:


In the field on the other side of the lane, the broom is in bloom!


Everything is just so green at the moment!

Tama-Chan Tuesday

 

Tama-Chan: #1 is BACK!!! She had a pretty long drive yesterday, almost 500km, and she made a couple of stops along the way, so she got home a little before 5pm. Mr. G was waiting for her and helped her unload the car (more on the contents on Thursday). She hasn't had time to take any photos of me, obviously, so I am using some that Mr. G took and posted on our FB page.






Thank you, Mr. G, for looking after us so well!

Snuggles on Sunday

 

Tama-Chan: #1 is still in Belgium, but she did help me put together this post before she left. Just in case you thought that I only snuggle with #1, let me start with this photo of me snuggling with Mr. G's Dad, Mr. R:


Needless to say, I do of course snuggle with #1!


Here's a two-tier scene, with #1 snuggling with Benny and Ryū simultaneously:



The ongoing Ollie-Benny love story:


A cute on of Ryū giving his big bro, Benny, a kiss:


Mr. G took these cute ones of #1 and Benny:




Benny is defiunitely a champion snuggler. Ryū, on the other hand, requires some serious wrangling to get a snuggle pic unless he decided he wants one!


Odd as it might seem, Momo snuggle pics have been a little thin on the ground recently. The best we can do this week is this one of him hanging with his bro, Benny, at the window:


Last but not least, we have a couple of cute snuggle pics of #1 with Miss Violette:



We wish you all a very snuggly Sunday!

Violette & Heloise Vendredi

 

Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone! The weather has improved a little and we horses have mainly shed our winter coats so we are looking svelte and gorgeous. I would like to start today with a lovely photo of me that was taken by a friend of Ms. C:


We just love this photo! That's a big cherry tree behind me and we enjoy the cherries when they ripen!

Here is one of Heloise in front of the same tree. As you can see, we still have mud!


And we have a fun photo of #1 trying to prevent me from grabbing the whole roll of Polo mints (hard mints with a hole that both humans and horses love)! That is Lily, Ollie's daughter, in the pic, by the way!



And The Big V sent this one in, showing the beautiful braiding he gets when he is doing fancy events.


As #1 is away, we won't be blogging tomorrow although we will have a Snuggles on Sunday post. She will be on the road back on Monday, so no post on Monday either.

Thankful Thursday

 

Benny: Hello. My name is Benny and I am a licker. Today, I would like to express my thankfulness to the nice people who let me lick them clean! First among these is my #1. The following photos were taken by Mr. G:





I also got to lick Mr. G's dad, Mr. R!




I also enjoy giving Mr. G a good licking but  he was busy taking pics. I shall have to remind #1 to take some pics of us next time!

Woofie Wednesday

 

Ollie: Woofs, Everyone! It was great having Mr. G and his Mum and Dad here on Sunday. Those are my favourite times! As the weather was nice,  we spent time outside and Mr. G took a bunch of photos of me!

#1 says some cow genes must have gotten mixed in with mine when I was in the womb, because I do love grass!






I love it when Mr. G looks after us, but I will also miss my #1 whilst she is away!
