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.
Seeing those hammocks made me wonder if you ever received my e-mail giving you the measurements of our older radiators... It seems my mail to you may be falling into an abyss or blackhole!! :p
Awesome hammocks!! You guys are so spoiled lol. :D
Regarding your comment about those shoes they put on show Percherons, I agree. Those things are horrible!! That's one reason I don't show is because so many people do horrible things to horses just to win a stupid ribbon or prize money. Ugh!
Woohoo! Enjoy the fresh airs, everyChan!
ReplyDeleteWow. That looks fun.
