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.
Pipo used to paw in the water dish, too! Do you drink the water off your paw, Benny, or do you lap it out of the dish? Pipo rarely lapped the water, preferring to drink the water clinging to his paw.
Ah yes....channeling your Inner NAK with the water bowl games!
H&K&W, Willow PeeEssWoo: Hi Ollie - We also have 'the window chair' as one is at the window - and the other is the one Auntie Di would sit in when she was living here - and still sits in when she visits!
Benny, you are doing what Eric did when he was trying to see how much water he could get across the kitchen floor. He never grew out of it!

You two are so cute.
