Facebook reminded me that 9 years ago, this was the view from my office window. It was Benji’s first snow.

Supervised Visits – Benji and Tiger in the Garden
Spring has arrived and the boys are getting restless, begging to go outside every morning. We are cautious, since a bobcat was spotted in the neighborhood.
