Lessons from Benji and Musings on Fall

“Benji, you’re amazing.” “Why do you say that, Sue?” “Because, you haven’t let your accident define you.” “What accident?” he asked. “You know. The one that … um.. damaged your leg. Did you forget something’s missing?” “I guess I did! Look at me run… Continue Reading “Lessons from Benji and Musings on Fall”

Benji and the Vole

I’ve never been happier to see a vole disposed of. Especially when my newly tri-pawed cat did the job. If you are sensitive to this sort of thing, read no further, I understand. Benji has healed up nicely from his surgery and we are… Continue Reading “Benji and the Vole”

A Conversation with Tiger – concerning Benji

“Thanks, Tiger.” “Sure, Sue. For what?” “For being so accommodating these past few months. I’ve had to spend so much time with Benji (understandably so) I feel like I’ve neglected you.” “No problem, Sue. He always was high maintenance. Even before his mishap.” “I… Continue Reading “A Conversation with Tiger – concerning Benji”

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”
