Lucy and Lulu relocate to France; Jack and Ruby are on their way to Portugal

Animalcouriers have set off on their latest trip from the UK to southern Europe. Our first stop was to deliver delightful feline duo Lucy and Lulu to their family in the Gers region of France. Captivated by the beauty of this area, Vanessa, her husband and their daughter have come here from Surrey and have rented a house for 12 months, before deciding on a definitive move. And now that Lucy and Lulu have arrived, the family is complete.

We stayed last night at Hotel du Prince at Marmande in the Gers, where resident fluffy dog Indy looks after the guests. While courier J walked our Collie passengers, Jack and Ruby, courier M indulged in a game of fetch with Indy.

Jack and Ruby are mother and son, and are travelling with us to join their owner, Brenda, in Faro, Portugal. They’re a very laid-back pair who’ve taken to the road like ducks to water.

Gorgeous Lulu

Beautiful Lucy

Jack (L) and his mum Ruby. They weren’t quite sure what to make of Indy prancing about!

Family likes to use “lu” in naming their pets. Must be a story there. 🙂 –Curt

  Indeed, we should have a competition to get the most names beginning with Lu…

How terrible to have to leave the UK for the south of France. It must be hard to get used to the comparative warmth.

Do you suppose Jack and Ruby wanted to join the game of fetch?
(Somehow I can’t help but have an unsettling reaction to that combination of names… the man who shot Oswald… who shot John Kennedy.)

  Hadn’t thought of that – hope it’s just a coincidence.

I’m not sure about the guards on the stairs – I would have to give them a good barking at I think!!
