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: yesterday, we went to see the horses, and my girls. It was already beginning to get pretty hot, so, unlike the usual scenes of mad playing pups, these are the pics that #1 got!

ReplyDeleteThe tiles are perfect for a hot day! Stay as cool as you can.
ReplyDeleteyou all look so very hot. heat is draining. hope it cools down soon
ReplyDeleteThat is the only way to spend a hot day. I wish I could find some terracotta tiles to lay on, but then I probably wouldn't be able to get up again!

Got to stay cool!
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that cool floor feels really great Ollie!
ReplyDeleteOh, you cool doggies...so relaxed and lovely in this summer heat. Needs no words....
ReplyDeleteIt's wise to lay on the cool tiles. We're lucky to have AC to keep us cool for our long hot summer.
ReplyDeleteHorses do tucker us out
ReplyDeleteYou all look a lot like us, cool tiles are a dog's best friend in this heat.

Lulu: "That's some nice lounging on the tiles. Sometimes you have to do whatever it takes to stay cool!"
