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.
Our Small One (Mommy) lets us make the bed, stretch in front of the fire (electric heater), and we have flowers too. Still, it's so much more fun seeing yours. You have so much fun and it is beautiful in your part of the world. Please, more pictures.
We don't get to make the bed Bibi but we do try it out during the day to make sure the zzzzzzzzzzzzs are still there! Tommy - we bet it was lovely stretched out in front of that lovely fire. Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
