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: It has been ages since we had a Woofie Wednesday, so here I am! As Queen Tama mentioned, we had some light snow yesterday and I had the best time when #1 went out first thing in the morning!
we love seeing you on woofie day, in our house we have woofie day every day, no kitties living with us. you look so happy and handsome in the snow. Beau said to tell you he wishes he could wander off leash in wooded areas. he has the back yard, but nothing like yours
My paws have never touched snow in the yard. One year Daddy brought it inside in a bowl for us to sniff. Now we live in FloryDa where snow goes to die. So sad. I bet yoo have a wonderpurr winter. Love, Dori
Glad you got some snow, Ollie. We have some too, but it is hard to enjoy in the frigid temps we have right now. And poor Lightning is struiggling with the icy stairs. Mom gets them cleared but they freeze back up in no time. Who ever thought we would complain about cold and snow!!!
Enjoy sweet Ollie...may we all get excited over the white stuff!!
ReplyDeleteOllie, you almost disappear in the shadows of black and white!

ReplyDeleteOllie, you're having so much fun in that snow!
ReplyDeleteWe're so happy you got some snow, Ollie. Snow can bring out the puppy in the oldest dog.
ReplyDeleteThere is something about cold feet that makes us want to explore.
ReplyDeleteOllie, you are a party of one, afterall!
ReplyDeleteYou've got to woof your way in front of the felines and horsies.
