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.
Well we "knows" where to leave our kisses.On your NOSES!!Three nose kisses for three sweet boys and one extra for Tommy because you have the best nose ever!! the critters in The Cottage

My mom says:" Why, Gentlemen! I thought you'd never ask! :*"
I, on the other hand, will settle for a manly high five from each of you, my friends!
I will kiss your darling #1, tho', and beg to tell her how much my heart is full of her and her friends in Japan. Every day, as we watch the news, our hearts are full of prayer for them. That they might be found and fed and warmed. That they might be safe from all harm. That children may feel secure and the elders feel safe. That all those who sleep with strangers will find new friends. And that Japan will rebuild and greet the Rising Sun!
I'd LOVE to!
