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.
What a lovely crocus variety - we haven't got that one. If it's raining at your place like here, snuggles are the only was to stay sane! Purrs, Siena & Chilli
Aww such cute snuggling pics! and Tom is so patient, with Tama-Chan's feet practically up his nose in the first pic! and how nice that Aby's are so petite...Sir and Tama-Chan will both be able to snuggle with Tom, with plenty of dog to spare! Love your crocus pic...looks like the same type we have here, thousands of miles away!
Hi Tama-Chan, today my first kittens are 1 yr old and the babies are 3 weeks old, so do pop over and have a cuddle with them if you have time. Though the girls have said that if you're busy could you just send little "Red" over in your place! Honestly I'm sorry they don't have better manners, but I shall keep working on them! ;) Little LG posed for a very nice photo for "Red", where as BG just wanted to try and pounce the camera... :)
