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.
I know when my #1 gets back to The Khottage tonight she will REALLY need my heeler healing...she told me this morning she was not in the mood and would explain later
H&K&W Willow PeeEssWoo: oh Ollie...it is so sad and angering
He can't run again but he has indicated there will be no more need to vote, so it sounds like he doesn't plan to leave either. "Bye0Bye Miss American Pie" was exactly what I thought of too.
hugs to you...

I can't even begin to believe this. So very sad.
ReplyDeleteTo say we are depressed would be an understatement. Maybe we could come live with you in France?
ReplyDeleteIt's rather unbelievable.
