Susan's Benji
Multi-colored as a tapestry
I'm a face washer and foot warmer
I bounce on pogo stick legs
I howl like a werewolf, nose to the sky
I whirl like a dervish
I'll sit nicely for treats
With nose to ground, I track things
Leash tugger, super-sniffer
Baths turn me into a drowned rat
Resting, pensive face on paws
How can you resist?
I am a Benji

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
