The Handsome Benji

Benji, I said.  You look so reflective today.  What’s on your mind?  Well, he replied.  Today I was thinking that I have probably stopped growing.  I will never be big like Tiger. And more than that.  I thought my ear would grow back but it… Continue Reading “The Handsome Benji”

Benji the Mighty Hunter

Catmint – It’s What’s for Lunch

This is Tiger and today was a good day to be a cat.  The sun was out to warm my fur and cheer my soul.  And even better, I had the catmint all to myself on this glorious summer day. Catmint – it’s what’s for lunch. ~ Tiger

The Garden, a Stream, and Benji
