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.
Mmm , sounds jummy with fresh milk ! I can tell you that since that woffie Conrad moved into MY house my favorite place to take a nap is on the chair backs :)
I bet that mare's milk was a special treat for you guys. I really enjoyed the picture of all you cats sleeping on top of the couches. It was like a "Where's Waldo" game to try and find all of you. Now, my very favorite photo was with Tommy and his stuffed toy pony! Soooooooo...cute! Hope everyone has a happy Thursday!
So many things to be thankful for - if we all just take the time to reflect. Love that shot of all the Chans - wish we could balance on the sofa backs like that.
The chans know the best parts of the sofa! :)
