PANCAKE is upset. His name is spelled wrong in the video. He wants me to apologize. I'm sorry, I wasn't drunk, just very tired. Won't happen again.

[@jimglover2856]

lol!! Sometimes kitties get their “noses out of joint” over the smallest things 😻😻

[@trevorbn2]

I’m sure he’ll forgive you! Lovely vlog tonight ❤️

[@ronaldhorton2438]

I'm not convinced you weren't tipping a few!😅

[@traceykusser368]

This one has it all: laughs, tears, and all the emotions people should feel for animals. The hardest part of having animals is losing them. Thank you for sharing this video with us! ❤

[@PleasantPrickles]

I really couldn’t tell who that mysterious man was with the voice disguised, but I’m glad he enjoys the animals. I loved hearing all the back stories. You two are such kind hearted souls. 🐾

[@OurFrenchChateau]

[@kmarch6630]

He was obviously Frecnch. I could tell by the accent.

[@lizdobson9793]

@@kmarch6630 I think you are on to something.

[@Sherryskogstad]

These animals are as lucky to have you in their lives , as you are to have them. ❤

[@laurenbouchie2394]

Lincoln is such a good sport, thanks for the laugh today Lincoln!

[@letitbee7248]

Ok. That bit with Lincoln talking about the animals was hilarious!!! Y'all are too much fun!! Love all the backstories on your fur babies!!!!

[@guadalupematthews9879]

I never tire of your sense of humor. And Lincoln; the blindfolded skit takes the cake! Don't stop what you're doing. Best wishes. God bless.

[@VintageLPs]

The only thing more funny would have been a REAL blindfold. 🥸

[@sandykaye412]

Watching Enzo and Guava running and playing in the snow brought tears to my eyes.

[@1910TuckerRoad]

Me too!!!… i thought maybe im over emotional.. glad its not just me!…. Love the animals

[@NeckasFBIAgent]

Me too 😢

[@andreacleghorn479]

This has been an absolute treat! Thank you for your loving kindness -- your diligence in documenting these sweet creatures does not go unappreciated by the humans who follow you.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thank you :)

[@dianac52176]

One of your best episodes to date. Thanks for all of the hard work editing, and posting these. What a treat.

[@bluelightshighsky]

Your editing is getting better and better. And the slightly sarcastic commentary makes this not what you would expect from a channel about a french chateou, in a good way 😂 Keep up the good work! ❤

[@lollygee172]

You made me laugh out loud, weep for long lost pets, and wonder at your open and generous hearts giving all those animals a loving and safe home. I still think there must be a cat sign flying over the chateau that only cats can see. Or the locals watch your vlogs and are dumping their cats in your woods. I just cant imagine how many strays are in such a rural area! Any way, keep up the great work!

[@ellegerdeman1443]

This video was hysterical !!! Loved the pet stories but your husband was the star👍

[@marynorthcutt9263]

Oh go ahead and let the donkeys in the chateau 🫏🫏. You two are awesome 🐕🐈‍⬛🐈

[@creolelady182]

Thnak you for being compassionate to the animals

[@Sushi2735]

Thanks! A small donation to the Kitty Fund from another animal lover. Thanks for all you do to alleviate animal suffering 💕

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thank you :)

[@sallymoffit3751]

A delightful video. Thanks

[@kikim5507]

Love you guys. You so kind and so funny. The world need more people like you.

[@JenniferFerne-lb8xc]

You two deserve the best of everything.❤

[@user-po3ko9yb5w]

The world

[@michaelwieneke1992]

Amanda, I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos. I consistently get many laughs & some occasional tears (not in a bad way, though). But I'm always in a better mood afterward. Needless to say, the past 8 or so years in the US have been challenging, so your videos about life in another country are appreciated.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

I'm so glad!

[@janeharris6925]

You guys are a hoot!

[@AtlantaGarden]

O.M.G.!!! I nearly had my drink come out of my nose when I saw Lincoln with the disguise 🤣🤣🤣

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😎

[@debb8152]

Those pictures of Mochi and Cornelius are so great, so beautiful--especially the one on the stairs.

[@tamaradekold5840]

You two are so funny! Your sense of humour...can't get enough...lol...loved the dogs playing and rolling in the snow..always looking forward to the next video

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Thanks so much!

[@LindaDavis-hi2un]

I know what it feels like to have your beloved pet pass away in your arms. It was literally the first living being that I witnessed dying.😢

[@jackiedecoster5527]

Love this video. How wonderful your chateau and family is a haven for sweet animals. You're good people. Feel better Pickle!

[@ritaderuysscher3535]

What can we say, another award worthy video, starring cute animals and a mysterious guest with glowing skin (he must have a special beauty regimen 🤔). All kidding aside, thank you for being you, and for taking in and loving all these beautiful animals. And thank you for taking the time to put together this video. We appreciate it ever so much! Maybe, some time in the future, you’ll need to renovate one of your outbuildings and transform it into a 5-star pet hotel. Best wishes to you all.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Wow, thank you!

[@suzannestubbins]

thank you for saving them, and given them a home ❤ your commentary was hilarious 😂😂😂😊

[@themainer1267]

Thoroughly enjoyed the formal introductions and especially liked the man whose identity was protected. 🙂 Terrific video. Thanks so much for sharing with us and with your furry family.

[@joycecole4956]

I have been watching “Chateau” videos for years and I have to tell you yours are the most interesting and entertaining. Thank you for taking such good care of all your furry babies. I live on a river in Fresno, California (I’m sure you passed thru here at some point) and have taken in many strays who have been dumped. They can be the sweetest creatures, one is sitting in my lap as I type this. All the best to you and for whole family.

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😊

[@ellengordon2933]

I so look forward to see what you and Lincoln are up to every week. You are both such warm and delightfully funny folks. Thank you for letting us know about your “zoo” and how you came about having so many furry friends. I have had many cats in the past. Percy, my newest feral feline friend was adopted by me 7 years ago. He was a mess. His was emaciated, FIV positive, his fur was falling out, he had fleas…….. He has proven to be a gentleman and is quite loving even though he doesn’t like being held. He’s great company for this widow. I truly don’t understand how someone can mistreat an animal or another human being. And, dumping an animal is so cruel. They truly just want what we humans want; shelter, food, and love. Thank you for your kind hearts!

[@susangriffiths8621]

Thank you for formally introducing your animals: they are so lucky, in their time of need, that you have taken them on. You are such wonderful people.

[@jdrew5367]

Looks like fluffy, is extremely helpful in making the bed. 😂 This was lovely. I’ve never laugh so hard had tears of loss that you endure and understand your confusion about animal not work in your home. Thank you for sharing.❤❤❤❤

[@michellecbauer]

Love, love, love this-especially the fantastic slo mo shots of Guava and Enzo in the snow in front of the chateau on a glorious winter day. Happy spring!

[@charlotteturner6300]

Your devotion to rescuing and loving your animals makes my heart happy.

[@dianerayburn1728]

Lovely animals, lovely owners.

[@YourNextStep1234]

I love that you're animal people!! They are so lucky to have found you!

[@denicesmith5391]

Thank you for sharing your animals. My heart is happy and broken at the same time from the stories.

[@AnneRas11]

❤ as a cat person love this video. I love all your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey here.

[@emichelesmith4568]

Love your videos ! My husband and have rehabbed two old houses, raised kids and many dogs and cats during our 60 years together. Fluffy is the image of our Cindy who lived to be 18. All our animals have been strays that have found us. Currently we have two Covid kittens found under a car in a rain storm at about three weeks old. They were a challenge but made it and give us much joy. Thank you for helping the feral cats of France.

[@Nickysmom]

I have a feral cat who has lived with us for 10 years. Very pushy to get attention and affection now. I found a colony of abandoned cats and their kittens. Got them neutered/spayed and vaccinated and found good homes for them. Always knew we’d have to keep Rook. Two years prior to that we were leasing a horse farm and a cat showed up at the kitchen door, insisting on coming in. After spending a few days at the vet and eating high quality food for a few months he turned into a real beauty. Very neurotic, can touch him but not much petting, he gets overstimulated. The only cat I’ve known who, for no reason, jumps straight into the air and changes direction 180. But we each have our quirks. Have had more dogs and horses but only 5 cats over the years, I adopted one, the others adopted me. Enjoy your videos, your animals, humor and the beautiful scenery. Thanks for making these videos

[@PlanetTango]

Lovely and loving. You do a beautiful job of editing and your music choice is perfect. Valorie Hart 💙🦋🦋

[@guyprot-zq1dz]

Merci pour eux ❤❤❤

[@JoanneLamont-gp5mr]

You’re so kind giving all these animals a home. Love watching your channel.

[@virginielassauge2728]

Vous êtes formidables !!! Recueillir tous ces animaux est vraiment super de votre part ❤️❤️ J adore vos vidéos 🤩🤩❤️

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Merci :)

[@arancel23]

The anonymous animal lover. The slo mo baywatch run through the snow. Waffle’s ladder climbing tutorial. 😂 I love it all!

[@LCamp-cr7fs]

Amanda, you are a good storyteller. You are also lucky to have Lincoln‘s very active participation.

[@stephaniegaromon3244]

These are very lucky animals having you in their lives. Your caring heart is enormous. They all look so healthy and very happy and Lincoln cracks me up. Great video Amanda. It made me smile. xx

[@srigging]

AWE....they are ALL so loved ❤ I loved the "mystery-man" segment. 😂 Hilarious! 🤣

[@susieq6452]

Thank you for the video & I’m so glad I’m not the only one! My husband says I have “sucker” written all over my forehead that only cats & dogs can see. I am back up to 5 cats & missing my dogs after loosing the last two to pancreatic cancer.

[@roxyjackson893]

jij bent een prachtig mens een heerlijk kattenvrouwtje bedankt om zo goed voor hun te zorgen

[@annlyon.2040]

Boy if I took my Cat (Scarlet) into the vet every time she didn’t feel good , I’d be broke ! I’ve only taken her in once just recently. She was find but found out she can’t hear any more. She just turned 17 ! Happy Birthday Scarlet ! ❤❤

[@heidiraia9902]

Your menagerie is wonderful! You guys are like the Pied Pipers of cats. Thank you for sharing their stories with us. You guys are fantastic!

[@lisawarren2557]

I laughed, I cried. It was a roller coaster of emotions. Two thumbs up

[@LennaWinther-Saxe]

What a joy, thank you for the time and effort introducing us to the "herd". Cats, dogs or donkey's, they know good people when they find them. Your family is truly appreciated by those of us who watch, listen and enjoy. Seems as if your girls have the same DNA to keep their eyes and hearts open for possible lost souls. Don't worry about misspelling Pancakes name, when my 18-year-old Sweetpea passed away, I accidently misspelled her name when I had her cremated. Much to my horror the plaque came back with "Sweatpea, a child of questionable parentage". I cried, I laughed, then placed her little cedar box on top of the windowsill where she sat to watch the cars and people walk by. She adopted me and I think she would have forgiven me for my faux pas. Best to you from the Patron Saint of Old Stuff

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😊

[@gloriasmestad3803]

Thanks for all the backstories! Very enjoyable, let’s see who and what shows up now!

[@Hope-fv3kf]

Toured Hemingway's home in Key Largo FL. I think we were told there are 65 cats on the property (all have 6 toes.) You do have room for more...

[@OurFrenchChateau]

Yes, I always worry about them when there's a big hurricane!

[@carolynmaccord3635]

What a lovely group of souls! Thank you for sharing them with us. You are running a B&B it's just for fur babies😊

[@creolelady182]

Lovely scene with the dogs running thru the snow

[@Barb6106]

What a fantastic video… 🩷 Your loving and generous attitude towards animals is a testament to your character. And your children are kitty magnets! Loved this so much. Thank you! You all are a blessing.

[@judydenney7483]

Just goes to prove that there are angels walking among us. You and Lincoln. All those fur babies... just wonderful

[@normamurray4450]

Oh Lincoln, I love your voice over and yes Amanda, poor Panacke!!! This video tops them all so far! I love all your vlogs, but this one....top notch! I'm thinking I might send my daughter's recent rescue pup over to you for training. He was found in an alley in Mexico, doesn't understand a word of English or Spanish or whatever else is in his genes...he's a bouncy 2 year old, keeping everyone up at night....I could go on....

[@jeniwhitt481]

Your video had me in tears. Thank you for taking care of the animals. I watch all of your videos because of your sarcastic humor and your kind hearts toward all animals. Bless you. I also saved my dog and two cats from being put down. My bearded dragon was a "gift" from my son (he wanted one so he gave it to me as a gift). I love watching your stories.

[@estavoyernathalie9433]

Le château du bonheur pour tous ces orphelins. Quelle belle vidéos . Merci !!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@moonbear897]

thank you for sharing your pet stories with us and bless you for giving them all a home. I switched from tears to laughter lots of times watching this.

[@ellebelle8515]

Truly, this was an episode of laughter and also tears. "Animals are controlled by humans and don't have a voice or a choice." 💯 For this reason, it is one of the most painful aspects of life to watch animals suffer. Thank you for setting such a caring and responsible example.

[@allisonbeard3705]

Love This Episode On Rescues! I Am Also A Rescue Lover! Dogs, Cats and Horses!!!❤

[@deborahdorsett3678]

Your love for animals touches my heart, and your sense of humor makes me laugh. Thank you!

[@cathykirkmcrae7727]

It's hard not to tear up seeing all the unwanted pets (before they came to you). They know a good thing when they see it. My heart would do the same.

[@mbuck1653]

All I can say is best yet. Editing, dialog fabulous.I can't live through Sundays without you two. Yes I do have a life. LOL MDB SDCA

[@barbaraceo7828]

Had a smile on my face for the entire vlog. Such great care by you has made them such great house pets

[@cdelaney5047]

Loved Lincoln’s voice transformation- so funny. Thank you , much needed

So true!

I felt some "mafia snitch" vibes with Lincoln. Oh wait perhaps I shouldn't have identified him?!?

[@jeannebernard923]

Blessed animals

[@cathyhutchinson2246]

Thank you so much for sharing the history of your animals. You know what they say, you don't choose a cat, they choose you. 😁 These guys are no dummies, they know where to show up. It takes special people to take on the huge task of moving to a different country and renovating an ancient chateau. And maintaining a sense of humour! 😅 But it takes very, very special people with big hearts to welcome all these animals, give them a home, take good care of them and love them. Bless you! 🥰

[@robweberdesign]

Loved this episode! Thanks for sharing all of the stories of each of your chateau animal family! You guys are awesome! That was hysterical with Lincoln in the chair with voice-over!👏👏👏

[@happysailing2]

[@pammacleod7689]

What a great video. Thank you! Maybe all that catnip gives Waffles the munchies. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sharlettedavidson81]

You guys are great people… Love your sense of humor… But most of all I love your love for animals bless your heart…❤

[@EmilyBoltz]

I love your sense of humor as well as your channel. Of course I love animals so that’s icing on the cake. I raised a feral tabby from 4 weeks- she thought she was a human. Used to follow me around the house with a clipboard in her hand. I will buy a t-shirt in her memory because she really thought I was a cool human. 😊

[@OurFrenchChateau]

😊

[@user-jm6pm3kr4y]

Fig reminds me of my cat Lucy. She is a community cat that we took in. She is just fine laying around but don’t touch. Your channel is special because of your animals and I do love 😊the chateau renovation as well

[@beaniecat1980]

Thanks for sharing all of your fur babies' stories. What a sweet video. I love cats, dogs, and donkeys. ( I have 3 cats, 2 dogs, unfortunately no donkeys) Your animals have such a wonderful, loving home with you.

[@lynnees9828]

OH GOD! As many tears this video brought the laughter matched. What is it with cancer and fur babies? Two females we shared our life with, (I never say own.), got mammary cancer in the last five years. There's a few more cancer stories but I won't bore you with the zillion, spayed and neutered, cats and dogs we've shared our lives with. Sometimes I think it was my mission in life, besides motherhood (2 girls btw, all grown) and work. Great video! It is kitten season guys!

[@ronaldhorton2438]

Oops, your sense of humor was showing, again!!😅 Thanks for helping my day along. ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉😊

[@tamithirion7766]

I love love love you're pets🎉 stories... Our pets have picked us, lucky us 🤗 We have a rescue dog from Beijing, she was pregnant and a blessing had only one pup. She was in terrible shape, but such a love 🥰 We have 4 indoor cats and a feral kitty we love outdoors. I'm finally accepted by him and he allows me to touch his tummy. I am worried about the introduction to our indoor 4. Thank you for sharing the history of your sweet fur babies, and like you are a firm advocate to spay and neuter. Hugs to all 🥰🐎😽🐕💞

[@theresebarr7619]

Thanks for introducing all of your animals! They’re all lovely, and you are wonderful to adopt them all! Also, you’re hysterical, just saying!

[@ingridhendy5922]

Panacke is now my favourite.....this was an awesome video - hope it goes viral....I wonder how many times I have to comment and forward it for that to happen 🤔

[@FrenchFifi65]

Oh my gosh, I giggled so much during this video. Thanks for the much needed entertainment!

[@paulacorreal1675]

Loved this video. I can’t imagine having 9 house cats but you seem to be able to handle them very well. Hats off to you for being such a compassionate animal “advocate.” I also get such a kick out of you and Lincoln’s sense of humor. So sorry you left the USA but also happy you’re doing well in France and seem to be happy with your new adventure. Watching from PA, USA.

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

Lincoln's interview was hysterical. We have one rescue dog, which is enough for our house, but I love that you have taken in so many strays, or found friends for your single-species pets!

[@jimglover2856]
