PB and his fantastic followers

We needed a new thread

Fred is peckish. Heavenly portraits.

Binge's tail is magnificent.

She smacked my hand away with her paw and then came back for more strokes. I even got a miaow. Fred climbed in my car

We all know what he wants. He's a willing slave to the O-effect. Out of interest, what range of toiletries might you prefer? Any favourite perfume?

Mr C spent night cuddling my head. Lovely and warm. Crept off at 8am to do banana, is now back on.

Went up to the loo just now, cats were on my bed face to face in that sort of comma position - top end curled up, legs training out. The way they had positioned themselves it looked like a heart laid out for me!.

Of course when I went to get my phone for a photo, they had moved into back-to-back bookends mode.

That is sooooo sweet! Enjoy a nice peaceful day, I would.

Ginge has been spending too much time watching dressage horses and is joining in

Extended walk? Only 8/10 I'm afraid, due to the feet being turned out . And I do hope that tail is waving not swishing, as that would be a couple more marks off.

I think she was aiming more for Spanish walk! She spends a lot of time on the arena fence watching
Two foals born - one is absolutely giant

Come on Allergic. You'd surely have to give her a couple of marks just for having such a beautiful tail?

Valegro's crown is safe

Poor Binge. Dressage judges are harsh, that's why my horse is decked in bling

Dressage judges can be hard people. I remember once being down marked because my horse was in too good an outline for Prelim level! Apparently I was supposed to let her poke her nose out & trail her back legs a bit until the next class (Novice) I was competing in that day . And before anyone asks no, she wasn't overbent or resisting in any way!

I did a test that was enter in trot. Sadly the week before we did one that was enter in canter. I came down the centre line with a teeth clinching grin and firmly half halting, completely out of control for the whole test
Judge "nicely forward" and 72%

Binge gets the Lana Cup! The judges were most impressed by her polished stretch out of a yawn and the beady look in her eye, showing clear skill in requesting snacks.

I had a lovely judge once, one with a sense of humour which is rare. I was doing combined training on my insane ex-steeplechaser as a warm up for the jumping season. Sadly although she was quite capable of the test, she'd caught sight of the jumps in the distance and was all aquiver with anticipation (she liked jumping that one).

One comment was "nice 2 time changes, but not required at this level!" for a canter diagonal. Also had a similar comment on the superb canter half pass (at novice level?!?) on the other rein .

I fell off the only time I went on a horse, my admiration is deep.

The pic app ain't working for me, which means snaps of Mr C snoring on his back with banana as pillow are not delighting you.

I'm glad you can't smell him - eating chives - terrible death breath.

Piccy of Mr C when you can please!

Ginge and Fred are both so adorable.

Ginge has so much 'tude. I wonder what Ollie would make of her!

Well he either deeply prefers the shape of LWT3 - slightly longer and with different aspect - or he's commenting on my use of fabric conditioner. (I swapped LWT2 and 3 and he was almost straight in.)

He got you to swap as he now wishes to choose from a selection of LWTs.

You mean I'm being gamed?

Yet - he would do huge goggly eyes at her and hide behind his mama

Mr C says he is outraged on PB's behalf - he asks us to recall that PB is 'only a helpless little scrap of fur'', doesn't know any better,' 'just a dumb animal'.

I say 'Like Liberace's piano'.

Groom has given the kittens their wormer, disguised in applaws
Actual quote "what is in that food? I had to open it in the car as they were both screaming at me and trying to knock it out my hands"

How big are the little kitlings now?

The recent photos suggest grown citizens of substance.
