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 bet it felt really good, Ollie. That's a BIG field. We haven't had rain here, but it has been cold. So it was nice yesterday and today to see the sun and get a walk in, even if it was a bit chilly.
Trader Joe's has the best specials on dog treats, but they sell out really fast. When they are gone, they are gone. We love the pumpkin ones but the lady at the store told Mom that due to Covid there were limits on supplies for making them:(
It looks like you had a super fun time playing in the field, Ollie. We wish we could see some sun here but we're happy to say we're finally getting some snow.
That looks like so furry much fun! We have had loads of clouds and a little snow and we have a lot of ice! Poor Cinnamon slipped and hurt her leg/ She is OK, but she had a bit of a limp and no chasing the ball for a couple of days. Purrs Marv, Jo Jo, Kozmo, Cinnamon and Barb
we hope the weather is with us and the govt. too... to go back to one hour daily would be really bad...

ReplyDeleteThat looked like fun in the sun, Ollie. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be a bit better, but then gales and more heavy rain on Friday.

We’re glad you got to go outside, Ollie. What a great field to run in.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a snowstorm, Ollie...but it's supposed to warm again soon.
