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.
It looks so soporific in that sunny place - and nice and warm. We still haven't quite got the hang of that hammock thing yet. We are waiting for more shelves so we can access it a bit more easily....
How relaxing!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, a good bake in the sun. Nothing like it.

ReplyDeleteJust when you're done with it is fine.

Oh my. Tama, you ARE content! We love the little smile on your lips in the first picture, we bet you get a lot of kisses!
ReplyDeleteWe will have to enjoy the sun through your photos, Tama-Chan. Just a miserable cold day of dampness and drizzle here.
ReplyDeleteYou do look like you enjoyed your day in the sun.
