Reviewing the Photos

After all the pictures, we all took a look at the photos in the camera. It was great seeing myself in so many pictures.

Behind the Scenes

There was a lot of work involved in each of the pictures: climbing, sitting, and being cuddled.


Isobel was a very demanding photographer, but she knew exactly what she wanted.

It didn't help that Mom kept fidgeting and forgetting to smile. Bill and I were great though.

Posing with Hanna

All the family posed with Hanna too.


And another one in front of the tree.

Hanna liked to hold my ears.

Posing with Mom

We had some nice poses with Mom.

Mom looks so nice in these pictures, but my fur is a bit dirty. I miss my old white fur.

Posing with Dad

Dad was quick to grab me and Bill for pictures of his own.

It looks like Bill got bored of the pictures and tried to crawl away.

Reindeer

On Christmas Eve a reindeer stopped by from the North Pole to say hi to us.

More Cousins

Cousins Hanna and Sienna joined us for this picture in front of the tree.

Sofa Time

Our cousin Isobel likes to takes pictures, so she took some of Mom, Dad, SP and me on the sofa.


I managed to jump in front of Strange Panda for this picture.

Then Isobel joined us for one of the pictures.

What's Under the Christmas Tree?

We went to Norfolk for Christmas this year. Can you see the wonderful things under the tree?

That's right, it's me and Strange Panda! We played hide and seek with Isobel among all the presents. She was very easy to find.

Sleeping Ray

This trip was also the first time I got to see my new cousin, Ray. I can't wait until he is old enough to play with me.

Bedtime, again

The bed is always the best part of any trip.

An Early Christmas

Christmas came early for me and Dad since we were leaving North Carolina before actual Christmas.

I had a sniff of some of the presents. I like the pretty colors of the wrapping paper.

There were lots of presents under the tree. I found out later some of them were even panda-related.

Uncle Edward

Dad and I visited Uncle Edward's house one day.


He has a very big TV and two dogs.

There is one of the dogs' tails. We watched English football (soccer) on the TV some. It was a bit like being back in England, except most of the games aren't on regular TV.

Strapped in and Ready to go

Dad and I each got our own seat on the plane, so it was a comfortable ride for us both. I listened to music and watched a movie during the flight. The seat belt was too large so I had to use a pillow to fill it out.

Off to a Wedding

Uncle Keith and Aunt Joy got married, so Dad and I headed off to North Carolina to go to the wedding. Bill had to stay with Mom since she was busy working.

Dad and I got to plane spot at Manchester Airport while waiting for our flight.

Hard at Work

One evening while Dad was galavanting around the campus exploring it and drinking hot chocolate, I decided to stay in and do his e-learning work for him. I thought it was very boring.

Warwick Campus

The conference center we stayed in was very long and had a nice pond outside it. The facilities were top-rate. When I left my room I was able to go drink lots of hot chocolate and eat pastries.

The Warwick campus was very big and very green. I liked it a lot.

Off to Warwick

Dad had to go to a work conference overnight in Warwick, so I came along for the bed. I'm hoping to try as many beds in the world as possible. We stayed at a place called Radcliffe House at Warwick University, which has a large campus.

Naptime with Georgia

Georgia came by for dinner and promptly fell asleep. So Bill and I took the opportunity to come in for a cuddle. We can't resist people that are sleeping (and they can't resist us).

Nanimal Pyramid

One day all the nanimals decided to make a pyramid, or at least a cube.


I wasn't quite as comfortable on the bottom of the pile.

Eventually Mom rescued me and the whole cube fell down.

Post-Dublin

After we got back from our short trip to Dublin, we had another surprise arrive. Sarah visited us for a couple days, so it was good to cuddle with her.

Tea Time

When Mom and Dad came back from a long day in Dublin I made sure to pour them a nice cup of tea in the hotel room.

At the Post Office

We went to this cute cafe across the street from the General Post Office on O'Connell Street. Apparently there was a lot of fighting at the post office awhile ago, and not just over the new set of stamps. Irish independence was declared there in 1916.

A Restful Night

After our long day of walking around it was time for a deep sleep.

A Walk in the Park

After shopping, we went to St. Stephen's Green for a walk in the park. There was a nice pond with ducks swimming in it. Strange Panda was a bit scared of falling off the edge of the wall, so he huddled tight with me.

See-through Shopping Mall

We went to a shopping mall that was almost entirely see through and had a giant glass clock in the middle. It was bright outside so you can't see it too clearly.

Accessorize Platypus!

We found a great store called Accessorize Pets, which had clothes made for all pets, including platypuses.


The best part of the store was that they let you try the clothes on right there. The shirt was right, I do love Santa!

Getting smart in Dublin

Bill and I visited the smartest place in all of Dublin, Trinity College. I guess this guy Lecky was really smart, but I never met him. He did have a nice bike though, which Bill tried to take for a spin later.

A hat

There was a nice hat touring the Dublin Castle at the same time as us.

Dublin Castle visit

We toured Dublin Castle's courtyard. It was hard to see so we had to stand on Mom's head.

Wakey-wakey

I was so excited about our trip to Dublin that I woke up extra early. Dad was quite lazy and slept in though.

Dublin Trip!

We arrived at Dublin safe and sound, and we stayed at a really nice new hotel, the Comfort Inn. Having survived the flight, we got down to business doing what we do best... sleeping!
