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, Ryƫ, in 2023.. We live in rural France, in a region called the Perche, which is famous for its heavy horses.
You must be a rather unusual sort of cat. I didn't think that cats did "thankful". The ones I know just do "entitled". Of course I know something about entitlement myself.
Hi every one Bibi we are pleased to see your name is the first one we read when we look at your banner. We think you have the most beautiful brothers and sisters (and a wonderful mother) to look out for you. Luv Hannah & Lucy
Hi Bibi! We wondered when you would be "official" and added to the banner - that is a great picture of you! And those are great things to be thankful for too! You are such a cutie!
YAY, Bibi-chan is on the banner. And so many wonderful reasons to be thankful. We are thankful you are still there with #1 and Tommy and all the other kitties.
It's official! Congratulations on your move up into the banner.

ReplyDeleteGreat pic! Isn't life GREAT!
ReplyDeleteThings are getting a bit squished in the banner. Maybe all of you need to get in a big snugglepile with Tommy so #1 can take a photo for the banner!
