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.
Ain't no mountain high enough... Hahahaha! That wand toy doesn't stand a chance! What a fierce look! Wow! That's a cool toy... Tom, we hope yoou got to run as much as you wanted! Peek-a-boo, Tama-Chan!
Such cute pictures! Tommy looks mysterious in that mist! Tama-Chan you are looking elegant as usual! And little Sir...that picture is hilarious. I remember when I was small enough to do that!
You two better watch out. That Sir looks like a bold, adventurous little guy.
Thanks for the invitation. I would love some spoiling. Unfortunately I think I would be afraid to fly in the belly of the plane with the luggage. If I could fly in the cabin I would be there in a flash!
Great pictures! looks like yet another foggy morning there. That little Sir has an extremely determined expression on his face, clinging to the mountain with one "hand" and going after the toy with the other! I feel sorry for the person in the pants because i'm sure they feel those needle sharp claws.
Who's leg is that you were climbing? Did you stick your clawrs into their legs? Tallulah has used mom like a pincushion and mom is wounded everywhere! Tommy, that fog makes you look very mysterious and ethereal and about 7 or 8 other really big synonimic words.
Tama Chan you awe so tiny and bootifu..I'd let you wun up my legses any time, and tom always looks so fabooulous out in that gowgeous countwieside..I love you smoochie kisses ASTA

Oh look at that little red-devil!!!! He is sooooooo cute. And bad. I would like to adopt him as my nephew in spirit. Ah...looking forward to the days of the flying leap across the room onto shoulders.
