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.
We'd love to sit in the sun puddle with Da Trav - it was raining when Mum got up this morning and it's not far short of 2 p.m. and it's still pouring with rain with no sign of it abating! Does anyone want to change places? We'll leave plenty of treats as a bribe. Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Hi Traveller! I see you soaking up the sunpuddle! It's good that you're getting plenty of Vitamin D. You look so much healthier and filled out these days. Isn't it great that Genji is getting better? I'm so happy! Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!
Oh Trav, you look SO happy!
