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.
Great that #1 made it safely to the US, and Tommy, you are such a lucky boy, getting to go and accompany her for pizza and to the airport. We hope her trip goes great!
We are so pleased #1 got away and arrived safely - we wondered whether she would be able to travel Tommy you are getting to be quite a traveller yourself - going to the airport and out for pizza. Give our love to the kitties please and tell them can teleport over if they want to.

I know that was fun, Tommy! Out to dinner and a car ride-W00t! I'm glad your #1 made it safely across the Pond in spite of the mayhem. Her aunt is a good cook, too!
Stuffed shells??? Yummers. So glad to hear that #1 made it safely. Still wishing we were just a tad closer so we could have met her. Stay good, all you furries at home.
