More gifts

23 Replies

Soon after discovering the surprises that Lola and Lexy sent us, we received a big package from our friends from the Poupounette Gang. It was filled with gifts more fantastic than each other, both for us and for our humans.

Pixie particularly liked one of the packaging.

What generosity ! Thank you very much, friends !

Speaking of gifts, it reminds us of the Magi, and therefore of the Epiphany : our humans had a good laugh that day, but we forgive them…

Sorry if some photos are blurry, we had to capture the moment in the current circumstances !

Bye bye 2020 !

The coronavirus, COVID-19, surges like a wave from China and changes the entire planet. On Friday the 13th of March, all schools in the canton of Vaud close. Another life begins for thousands of people in Switzerland: lockdown (getting out as little as possible), homeschooling, prohibition of meeting more than 5 people in public space, strict respect of social distances. In a way, our humans turn into cats, and adopt our rhythms when it comes to napping.
