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.
Look at you and your kitties. I could never do that. I always try to pick kitties up and then they get really mad at me and then next thing I know, mom is freaking out because there is blood everywhere. I never seem to notice that they scratch me, but mom sure does. Maybe one day, I will meet a kitty who will let me pick him up. I just want to carry him around a bit. Honest.
Tommy really knows how to relax, doesn't he? I think he elevates relaxation to an art form. The snuggling gives it added dimension as well. Go, Tommy!
