A fantastic weekend

Our buddy Speedy the Cheeky House Bunny was the luckiest during our giveaway. That made us laugh to see that Rafflecopter chose his name on Friday, because not long ago, it’s us who had luck on his blog.

Concatulations, Speedy ! The tea of your human will have even better taste in the pretty mug you chose for her.

The sun shone bright on Saturday. It was a magnificent day for the flower market of the village.

Claire did not come back empty-handed…

While she planted gerania, I had a good earth bath before doing a small garden tour.

I even bump into a ~~snack~~ ~~toy~~ lizard.

I hope that you also spent a fantastic weekend !

Can we ask you for some purrs for Momo ? He’s going to be operated tomorrow to remove the screws he has in the foot and to free his nerve below the knee so that it can continue to regenerate and to get back its functions (flexion of the foot). We hope that everything goes well. For those who know us for less than two years, it’s still the consequences of the serious accident Momo had in December, 2014.

In the garden

What a nice weather ! Have you seen, Momo ?

Magnolias and rosemary are in flower.

We also have big bundles of daisies here and there.

The beautiful season has begun !

Can you find us in the apple tree ?

Cat licence soon compulsory in Switzerland

“The animal welfare legislation come into effect in 2008 made compulsory the skills certificate for the dog holders“.
Every person who has never had a dog has to do a theoretical training course of at least 4 hours on “the needs of his animal, on the way of treating him correctly and on the represented investment, in time and money.”
“Every person who buys a dog has, even if he already possesses one“, also to attend a training course for dogs of at least 4 hours.

After the introduction of the dog licence in 2008, Switzerland prepares the introduction of a cat licence for the similar objectives for 2017.

However, contrary on examination of skills for the dogs which takes place outdoor, the final examination for the obtaining of the cat licence will take place in the place of residence of the owner. An expert will stay there during an indefinite duration to examine the following points :

Quality and frequency of the food
Maintenance of the litter box
Cleaning (vomit, wee-wee, poo, other)
Bath (optional)
Search for hidden cat (in apartment and outdoor if the cat goes out)
Meowing translation
Interactive game
Cuddles (frequency and quality)

Claire and Momo took this examination easily : their skills are attested by the following experts : Angel Isis, Angel Hercule, Angel Céleste, Angel Loupi, and us !
