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.
Violette: Pretty neighs, everyone! Following on from yesterday's post where the Big Lump bragged about his personal salt lick, I thought I would show you mine too. It was really nice of #1 to bring back from England one for each of us!
June: I wish I knew how to "neigh"! Mine Mommy wishes she had a big salt lick, she keeps craving more salt and is dipping into the tater-chip bag way too often ...
We felines can't wrap our heads around the pleasures of a salt lick...but we are happy that you are enjoying a treat, especially as a gift from your #1
My #1 says you can have her salt - she doesn't use it - just was it is naturally in things -
H&K&W Willow PeeEssWoo Hi Ollie - Yes, #1 tries to keep us busy - and the cool thing is we can go anywhere and not care which day of the week it is - AND we may get to see a new Farm Dog at Mad Radish this Saturday - they got a puppy!
oh we bet that is a magic salt stone... maybe you can fly now? like that pegasus guy?
ReplyDeleteThey must really be very tasty, Violette. Have you tasted it too, Ollie?

It's nice to see you have your own special salt lick, Violette.
