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.
Hey Tommy and crew, Thanks for your nice words on my blog. I hate it when my friends just vanish without a trace and you don't know what happened to them. Momma put special instructions to Master on how to blog should anything dire ever happen to her (not sure though if he would figure it out).
That cat is totally color coordinated with the tree. A most elegant composition.
Ooooo...Manoushka looks a little like our Angus. So that's what he'd look like in a tree, huh? There is something so wild yet so domesticated about Manoushka up there. ~Lisa Co9T
Lovely Manoushka....
