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.
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:(

ReplyDeleteHave a marvellously Happy Day!
Oh, MY!!! Brrr! Not only is snow cold, its wet when it melts on your furs!!
