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.
Same here, but probably not as hot as you. We keep both doors open so at least there is a breeze blowing through. It fools the swallows though. They see an open door and think they can come in until the see the fly curtains. (Essential when there are horses on the other side of our garden hedge!)

PeeEssWoo: Hi Ollie - soon time for today's 'venture!
We also are due for some scorching heat here, but we don't have a floor like that; you're lucky.
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Oh, yeah, I love the cool tile floors in the summertime too!"
ReplyDeleteWe'll be celebrating the start of summer with temps in the 90's here the next few days. You're lucky to have those cooling tile floors.
