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: Woofs, everyone! Well, #1 wins the silly title for this week because she says that Friday slipped her by and she completely forgot to post! Can you believe that? So, here I am, giving my humble opinion of her failings...

Haha! Ollie got ya, #1!! He sure did it with such a cute grin!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a handsome boy, Ollie, and everyone can take a day off now and again. Heck, we do!

PeeEssWoo Hi Ollie - have fun on YOUR 'venture!
That's sure cute handsome Ollie!
ReplyDeleteOllie, well, she's a human, so you've gotta give her a pass once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteHeeheehee! Tell her she was missed, but all is well, everyone misses a day now and then.
ReplyDeleteConsidering how busy #1 has been lately, we’re surprised she remembers anything!
