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.
Charlee: "Yeah, that is quite possibly the most cozy couch I have ever seen. I think Mama and Dada need to get a couch like that." Java Bean: "Oh yeah, lots of pillows for me to pull off!" Chaplin: "Careful Bean or you might get put up for sale too." Lulu: "Nobody is putting anybody up for sale! Not Benny, and not Bean, either!"
Benny, the Cat Toy Tree is so much fun. Mom is furry pleased I have only knocked down 1 toy this year. I am much more interested in the new nip nanner that we got the same day the tree went up. You and the others look like you are having the purrfect snoozes! Keep on being awesome, Marv
Of course you are a good boy Benny, those toys are too tempting!
ReplyDeleteBenny, you must understand that families are all the same. We love one another fiercely, even when we annoy one another. And you are oh so handsome!!
ReplyDeleteBenny, every family has an adventurer.
