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.
Merry Christmas to you too, #1. Thank you for all the lovely posts and pictures throughout the year. May you and all your family have good health and happiness in 2011-LSBinWNC
Merry, merry Christmas #1, Tommy, Vidock and fabulous Chans! What a wonderful day ahead! Lovely gifts to open, delicious food with extra treats and delightful cuddling! You look so adorable in your jingle collars! In your first photo, Tommy looks like he is speaking to us! Much love and joy!
A very Merry Christmas to Sei, Tama, the Beebs, Tommy, Vidock and the wonderful #1 who has shared so much with us this year. Here's wishing also a new year filled with joys and tons of snuggles for all. The boys look very festive in their Christmas collars!
