First, in June 2008, came a young sorrel Abyssinian cat called Sen-Chan and a slightly younger English Springer Spaniel called Tom. In October 2008, they were joined by Tama-Chan, a ruddy Abyssinian girl kitten. The three lived so happily together, playing and cuddling in the French countryside with their mistress, known as #1. But in early January 2009, tragedy struck and Sen-Chan went to the Bridge at not yet 18 months. For a while, it was just Tom and Tama-Chan and #1, remembering sweet and gentle Sen-Chan, and the one who came before him, the fierce and noble Ikkyu. But then, in April 2009, a little red furrball, Sei-Chan, joined the family! She was followed in October 2009 by Yuu-Chan, a playful but very mellow little sorrel boy. And then Tama-Chan had kittens and little Bibi, a ruddy male, stayed with us. Sadly, we lost our beloved Yuu-Chan in September 2010, but we soldier on and live and love in our little corner of rural France. And we now have a big little brother in Vidock, a Percheron stallion, a little little brother in Genji, a blue Abyssinian, and a big little sister in Violette, a Percheron mare.
Heloise: WE GOT SNOW! It didn't last for very long, but it was pretty, and #1 arrived just as it was starting to fall. She said that I looked extra pretty with snowflakes in my hair!
Can you see my Sis, Violette, and my Mama, Hotesse in this one?
Snow, bah! I want spring! Mum has not really met the Ollie next door. Just seeing him play in the backyard and looking from his front windows. Someday!
How cool! My human is still waiting for snow here - it HAS happened here, just not in her lifetime.
ReplyDeleteHeloise, you do look pretty with that snow on your black coat :)
ReplyDeleteGood thing that snow did not last long. Mum says that snow is cold.
Purrs, Julie
You do look pretty in the snow.
ReplyDeleteYou do look so nice in the snow but it sure looks cold too!
ReplyDeleteWe hope you had fun playing in the snow.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy that snow. If it is like ours, it doesn't last very long. We got a dusting overnight, but it will be gone tomorrow:(
