Ohh, dear, I could NOT resist :

And a mom for the tapir baby ( rather small mom, or is it a large baby ?

And before I could think, I had bought a little flock  
The horse is a criollo definitivo: a small, compact working horse from Argentina
Unfortunately Schleich her braids

Congratulations! That afghan is especially lovely. Wonderful little flock!

That's the old Susanne I know that cannot resist.
Oh, old doesn't mean you're not young, it just means usual, traditiional or something like that.
Your pictures are always very important for me, blind as I am I rarely can't see anything on official pictures. For example, the Malayan tapir adult, it is a lovely figure but now I can see its massive back was designed massive like a bear instead of the typical angular back of a tapir. I can see also a huge effort with the texture, that's a design decision, now figures are rarely smooth even when the real animals do not require it.
It is also interesting Schleich calls it a Criollo Definitivo, I think this is the same as the Brazilian Criolo, a horse with Iberian blood that lived in a feral condition for a long time.
Of course Susanne had to get those dogs, especially the Afghan hound, even the tail seems correct for the breed  and the simple pose works nicely once it is a glamourous dog.
Edit: Oh, I forgot the most important, the new cougar.

Nice flock Susanne 

I would be very happy if you could walkaround the new tapir, or at least show somecomparison pics with other tapirs  Please 

Thanks, guys

Sure I will.
Tomorrow

We are cruel for you Susanne, just a few minutes before Christophe request, I asked you to open a cougar walk around.
I don't know how can you think that we could live without you.

Just a short time ago, it was right before your would HAVE to live without me !
I could not find my Kitties
They always come when I call, but this time they did not
After 3 minutes I had to tell myself to breathe

In three minutes I imagined all from cars, wolves, or evil kitty-stealing people to things falling on them, poison, places they could get stuck, and...
And then suddenly were  in front of me, clearly thinking "Have you got something nice for us to eat  ?"

Lovely kittens! (Even though it looks like one is going to attack the camera .)

They ARE attacking  

There is a strap at the side of the camera , and it must have mooved, because they both climbed like lightning up my jeans, and Jason continued up my T-shirt before I could lift them down again  Auch, auch
( You can see they are looking to the right of the camera

That was surely scary but clearly they are pranking you Susanne. They look very determined in that picture.

Ouch! I had a horizontal rather than vertical perspective for the photo, but now I see that they are running up your jeans and jumper. Great that they want to be so close to you .

I love my kitties ever so much, even if my arms sometimes look like I have been fighing with a large rose bush

BUT now I want to show you what I got today , -
After being two weeks on the way from our neighbour country, Germany, I go a shoebox from Yvette

When I opened it, I found two beautyful boxes

The one with the roses contained two Schleich Rudolfs    
I am so happy. Without Yvette I would never have got them
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

The other box, I had no idea, it looked like a present
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

a mouse ?  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

No, some shredded paper ?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

No, something yellow ?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

A napkin ?
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

No, no, no  
A cat !!!
A black cat like Jason Momoa  
A black cat from Lineol      
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I had never dreamt to own such a beautyful model.
Ohh, Yvette, you are so incredibly kind  

Old Mikke was also happy : MIWOW, A BOX !!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

But the I am sure she smelled that Yvette has dogs,
An began to scent-mark it    
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I brought the tiny cat to safety on the piano, where she was retrieved by other animals  
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

More serious, look, how gorgeous this tiny model is  
He is no. 291 Lineol of the IV. generation (1940-1960).

Yvette, you are such a super generous, wonderful friend.
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou              

Everything from Yvette looks always so beautiful and neat.
Even Mikke loves it.
Oh, I also have one of these reindeers, I must show on my topic too. Welcome to the team.
The Lineol cat is like the perfect present for you, it is such rare and wonderful model.

Yvette always makes us happy with special details.

Wonderful models. This cat is very rare. Congrats

I am very happy that the package finally has arrived after two weeks in neighbouring Denmark.  
I was a little bit worried that it might have got lost.

So funny pictures Susanne!   I really had to laugh at the humorous unpacking story!

And I  was also right, the cat is now in the best place where a cat could be.
It's the best place of the world for your real young and wild kitties, but it's also the best place for a little Lineol cat.
Your beautiful new group of dogs will agree with me: Heaven for dogs and cats!

Yes, cats love boxes of all types. Old Mikke is right, our dogs watched the packing closely and Balu also
played with the shredded paper.  

Yvette, thankyou for your kind words

Yes isn't it fun ? Even if she is so old that her fur looks like that of a porcupine, she saw the box, but stopped and sniffed : "DOGS"

Yes, really, we are learning: Don't underestimate old Mikke!

Cool cat(s)

Can't wait to get the Afghan,it looks so much better than the photo!!!!!!

Yes, yes, she is SO lovely

We need to bombard Schleich with complaints that they call her "Greyhound" in English
They have translated the German word "Windhund" wrong, - it means gazehound .
But why not mention the breed that it so obviously is ?

It is rather amusing that thec confuse one of the dogs with longest fur with one with extremely short coat
