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.
Tama-Chan, we don't want to hurry you, but JUST EXACTLY HOW LONG WILL YOU MAKE US WAIT? This is just too exciting. Mom is checking for updates every ten minutes. She couldn't do anything yesterday for the crossed fingers. Hahahaha, we just read Misha's comment! You won't believe it but mom dreamt you got your kittens too - seven purrfect Abys. You look very comfy and cuddly there. We're purring for you! Siena & Chilli & Britta
P.S.: Magic word is "beabby", that's almost "baby".
Oh Tama-Chan the wait is hard for us - we hope you are having an easier time waiting then all of us impatient people! We know that Sen Chan is watching over you and will make sure all goes well when the time comes! But I have to tell you - we are super excited to see the little ones when they get here! We are sending you lots of be comfortable and have an easy time purrs and prayers!
Dear Tama-Chan, Simba's Mom told my Mom about your blog and I am so happy for you and excited about your big event! My Mom says I look like I have "buns in the oven" all the time but that is just because I really love to eat! Hope it goes well. Audrey
