Our very first dog, welcomed into our family.
A magnificent Golden Retriever, defined by love, kindness, gentleness with children, and incredible energy!
But also great strength and a strong character; very playful, he stayed young for quite a long time (almost three years).
To help him “let off steam,” I used to take him on long mountain bike outings (5 to 15 km).

There are unexpected dogs who accompany major chapters of a life. Filou was one of them.
He knew Bahia and lived through the years until he met Ollie (whom he welcomed into our home with us), Odin, and Lucky (the family cat).

We met Odin when he had just turned three. He came from the excellent kennel run by Laëtitia Nicolas, “Du Temps des Paluns.” His previous owner could no longer keep him for personal reasons. Living in a large city, Odin was taken back by Laëtitia to ensure that one of her dogs would not end up in unsuitable hands.

Ollie joined our family very quickly after the abyssal void left by Bahia. It is almost as if Bahia had decided to leave so that we could meet her!
New dog, new project—or rather: new projects.
My first encounter with Ollie was a sharp, vivid look in a photograph. I was convinced she had a great deal of love to give and to receive; in that sense, she took over from Bahia without difficulty (even though the bar had been set very high).

So here we have a surprise model! Neither my wife Christelle nor I were behind this adoption; in fact, I should say that Uno only lives with us part-time! It was my daughter Valentine who, right at the very end of her studies, announced in a short message on our family group chat that she had adopted a puppy: Uno (because it was the year of “U,” she liked the game, and it’s her first). Phew! For a moment, I thought I was about to become a grandfather already!
