Sweet Happenings in the Garden
Another springlike day, and Tiger went out to enjoy; not bad for an 18-year-old cat. Benji is always game; not bad for a tripawd. Flowers are beginning to appear among the fallen leaves and pinecones, this a tiny Cyclamen; this a Lenten Rose. A… Continue Reading “Sweet Happenings in the Garden”

Looking out my Window with Benji
Facebook reminded me that 9 years ago, this was the view from my office window. It was Benji’s first snow. There’s been no snow yet this winter, but we still enjoy looking out the window. “Right, Benji?” “Of course, Sue.” This morning, I replenished… Continue Reading “Looking out my Window with Benji”

Patient Benji
“Whatcha doing there, Benji?” “Just waiting for someone to play with me, Sue.” “Sure, Benji. Wait no more.” My sweet boy waits at the foot of our bed, where his special stairs are, with his favorite toy nearby, a leftover piece of rubber tubing,… Continue Reading “Patient Benji”

Benji, One Year Later – Still Soaring!
“Benji, you’re so inspirational!” “Why do you say that, Sue?” “The way you adjusted this past year. Actually – more than adjusted.
