Mornings in the Garden with the Cats and the Birds

I’ve always enjoyed spending time outdoors, in my garden, and lately it starts earlier in the day. As a tripod, Benji must be supervised outside, and I’ve been yielding to his demands first thing in the morning, only fair since he lost his night… Continue Reading “Mornings in the Garden with the Cats and the Birds”

Thank You from Benji

When my sweet boy was injured and became a tripod kitty (here if you missed it), I received many wonderful well wishes from cats and humans alike. “Tell them, I appreciate it, Sue.” “Absolutely, Benji. A big thanks to all!” And a special thanks… Continue Reading “Thank You from Benji”

Take a Memo, Benji

“Ready, Sue.” ~ From the desk of Susanne and Benji

In the Garden with the Cats and the Birds

It’s different than it was, but I still enjoy spending time in the garden with the cats and the birds. Tiger is free to go outside by himself, but Benji must be supervised. I’m hoping he can learn from Tiger to stay safely within… Continue Reading “In the Garden with the Cats and the Birds”

Life is full of Adjustments, Just ask Benji

I don’t know if I would have adapted as well as Benji had I lost a limb, but that boy is adjusting well. The surgery was three weeks ago, and the stitches and bandage removed one week ago. His right back leg is gone,… Continue Reading “Life is full of Adjustments, Just ask Benji”

Not the same Species – A Story from Tiger Long Ago

Okay everyone, this is Tiger and I have something to say. I have it pretty good here, indoors and out; the food, the sleeping arrangements, the toys, I can’t complain.  The humans that live here are great too and I guess you could say… Continue Reading “Not the same Species – A Story from Tiger Long Ago”

About those Northern Lights

Like most of you we heard there would be a spectacular display of Aurora Borealis over the weekend; the Northern Lights would reach much further south than is typical. The Pacific Northwest was included, and clear skies were in the forecast. I also read… Continue Reading “About those Northern Lights”

Kitty Selfie

“Smile, Benji.” Testing my new phone’s camera. I upgraded from Samsung Galaxy S9 to S23. Not exactly cutting edge, the S24 came out earlier this year. I like to let them work the bugs out first and save some money in the process. Not… Continue Reading “Kitty Selfie”

What’s in my Inbox?

It’s Monday morning and I’m ready for work. I check my inbox as my first order of business. “Excuse me, Benji, but that can’t be comfortable.” “Actually, Sue, it is. But thanks for checking.” “That’s fine, Benji but you’re in my way. Can’t you… Continue Reading “What’s in my Inbox?”
