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.
Violette: Pretty Neighs, Everyone! It has been very warm here this past week, so when #1 came to see me last time, she decided that it would be good to cool me down a bit.
Nothing like some cool water on a hot day. Hope you felt better. That shady spot looks good too. You're a pretty girl Violette. Purrs Georgia,Julie and JJ

My human needs to add some ice to our water in a few days - the temperature is going to be over 38 celsius here this weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat had to be wonderful pretty girl!
ReplyDeleteSeems like we are all trying to stay cool. Too bad horses don't get to enjoy air conditioned stables.
ReplyDeleteI bet that felt nice being cooled down.
ReplyDeleteIt is very hot here too - maybe we need a cool hose down too:)

Rien de mieux qu'une mini douche.
ReplyDeleteLes chevaux sont un peu comme les chats, ils aiment boirent l'eau qui coule.
Violette! You are most beautiful! Do you drink out of the hose? I think I would prefer the water in a dish.

That must have felt good, Violette. :)
ReplyDeleteViolette, it's been sultry here too, and I've envisioned hosing myself off, just like #1 did to you!
ReplyDeleteMum likes cool to even cold showers after being out in the heat. We are going to get a break from the heat for a few days.
ReplyDeleteWe hope some cool water made you feel better, Violette ! Purrs
