This blog was started in June 2008 by a young sorrel Abyssinian cat called Sen-Chan and a slightly younger English Springer Spaniel called Tommy. The years that followed were full of hellos and goodbyes. Some, like Sen-Chan and Yuu-Chan, were lost very young. Other Abys like Sei-Chan, Bibi, and Genji stayed with us for quite a few years. But they too have gone now, as has Tommy. In the interim, several Percheron horses joined the family, starting with Vidock in 2010, Violette in 2012, and then Hotesse and Heloise in 2020. They contribute to the blog regularly. But the mainstays are Ollie, also an English Springer Spaniel, Tama, an Abyssinian queen who has been with us since late 2008, and Benkei (Benny), a little ruffian who joined us in 2021, followed by Momo in 2022, and another Aby boy, Ryū, in 2023.. We live in rural France, in a region called the Perche, which is famous for its heavy horses.
Sen-Chan: Today we have a rather thoughtful-looking picture of me. I was helping #1 with her work, as I often do, and I have to really concentrate at such times...
Tom: Staying on the "thoughtful" theme, here is the second in my "dignified" portrait series. This one was taken outdoor, and #1 says I look very attentive and thoughtful, and she likes the autumn feel to it.
Those are both terrific pictures..Sen-Chan, you look very aristocratic and intelligent, and Tom, you look so dashing and debonair..and the colors around you complement you so perfectly! Your mom's a good photog!
That is a very nice shot of you, Tom! Do you like to chase the falling leaves too? Sen-Chan, your fur colour really glows in that light! Nice! Purrs, Siena
Sen-Chan,
ReplyDeleteI am sure #1 is honored to have a great brain such as yourself resting on her work. I like to help Ms. C very similarly!
Tom,
We are very glad you can share this other aspect of your personality with us! Your colors really do look great with the autumn colors.
Purrs,
Abby Normal
Both of you do look very thoughtful today. You must be thinking important thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYou both look like you have your Thinking Caps on today!

Hi Sen-Chan,
ReplyDeleteI prefer to drape my elegant self over Mommy's right wrist when she's working on the laptop. That way I can correct her misspelled words!
Regards,
Mica
PS. Petey here - Tom, you look like you should be on the cover of an outdoors calendar with your photo!
Oh Tom that's a perfect entry for our Fall contest!!! I wish I could help my Meowmy with work but she goes somewhere else to work.
