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.
Dragon Ryū: Your favourite dragon here! Look what I caught!
#1 was not pleased. She said it is called a slow worm and is a lizard without legs, and we should not harm it. So she scooped it up and put it back outside. But I only wanted to play!
Chaplin: "Humans! Always spoiling our fun! Like the time a lizard got into our house and Mama and Dada tried to 'rescue' it from us cats. Fortunately it ran away and hid from them, so we were able to play with it more later ..."
Ryu, that was an interesting lizard. We don't have that type over here, all of ours have visible legs. No wonder you wanted to play with it.
ReplyDeleteBoys just want to have fun...
ReplyDeleteMaybe #1 wanted one of her own!
