I love your poem.

Benji has a great face.

You have a wonderful sister. She took good care of my aunt.

Thanks, Sondra, for your comments. I totally agree that I'm very fortunate in my sisters.

They say cat oweners live longer, but in this case I bet Benji brings lots of life to his master.

I really enjoyed this poem. Benji and my Willie have a lot in common, including the dislike of baths. Willie doesn't try to run away, but he leans. That wouldn't be so bad if he weighed less than 85 pounds. BJ

A big smile accompanied my reading of your decriptive poem about Benji...and I'm not even a dog-lover! But Benji on his pogo-stick legs is adorable! Thanks for the grins! ~Susan

Virginia, I truly enjoyed your poem. I lost my almost 15 yr old beloved cocker spaniel Bailey on August 2, 2008. (I still have two 5 yrd old lhasa apsos boys). Your words spoke like memories to me.
