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.
Ollie: Woofs, Everyone! Ollie here. The other way, when we went to see the horses, I had a great time playing with crazy Leonie, and #1 managed to snag a few photos:
Can you see Violette in the distance, looking at us as though we were completely mad?
#1 also got a couple of nice pics of my daughter, Lily:
all of you are beautiful, Lily is so pretty, 3 beautiful pups what could be better. your comment about the bark on my blog sent me searching and wow oh wow that bark is amazing.
Java Bean: "Chase! Wrasslemania! Oh yeah, such fun!" Lulu: "Did you try rolling around on your back while Leonie pulls on your neck fur? That's my favorite way to play!"
