It’s April 11th – Happy National Pet Day!
I said these words to our two feline residents and they were puzzled. “What’s a pet?” asked Benji. “Um, well,” I replied, a bit startled by the look in his eyes. “According to the dictionary it’s a tamed animal kept for companionship.” “Tamed?” questioned… Continue Reading “It’s April 11th – Happy National Pet Day!”

A Conversation with Tiger
“Good morning, Tiger. Don’t look so alarmed. There will be no trip to the vet today” “Sorry, Sue.” “We were doing it for you, Tiger. Because we care about you. Just a short ride. A quick checkup. It would have been fine. “ “But… Continue Reading “A Conversation with Tiger”
