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.
#1 here. Today, my thoughts turn to our blue boy, Genji, who left us almost three years ago. He was little in size but so huge in the love he brought. He is much missed.
Aww, what a darling remembrance of your Angel Genji. My dad says there's nothing that matches the love of a sweet, loving feline. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photos.
He was a very sweet , beautiful boy and he photographed wonderfully . His photos often reminded us of Japanese silk paintings. Remembering him fondly. Grace
Oona: "Oona did know Smol Genji but she can see what a handsome boy he was! And Oona knows all about packing lots of personality into a smol package!" Charlee (muttering): "A little too much personality, if you ask m—" Oona: "WHAT WAS THAT CHARLEE????" Charlee: "Nothing." Oona: "That is what Oona thought!"
He was such a handsome boy who lives on in your heart.
