imikimi - Customize Your World! Hi , Oh my what a scary day this has been. Mom and I went outside this morning. I was wandering around the yard in the Boomer Zoomer. Mom set a chair where she could sit down and talk on the phone and watch me. I mosied down to the end of the driveway to see what was down there. Daddy had set the trash out and I had to inspect it and make sure it was okay. Well, all at once, Momma jumped and began running toward me. Well, I thought maybe our walk had turned into a run so I started running with her. "Stop, Benji,stop!" she yelled. "About that time a man with a cage stopped and said "I'm taking that dog in if I see it without a leash again." I wonder why humans don't have wear leashes all the time. They cause way more trouble than we do!

Well, Grandpa is home. Momma, Daddy and I are spending a quiet day at home just enjoying each other's company. It is the first time in a long time that we have got to do that with just us. I have taken off my babysitter hat and am just Benji right now. it feels good after being just so busy for so long. Thank you for not forgetting me during our incredibly busy time. All your barks of encouragement and friendship made Momma and I know that we could keep going. We hope that when it is your time to need support, we can be at least half as good as you were.>

11thanks for the add!!

Well, it has taken me awhile to figure this out, but instead of just three kids staying with us like I thought, we have four!  Shade is 12 and thinks she is 20, Moonbeam who is 10 never does anything wrong, and if you don't believe me just ask him, he will tell you, and Sunshine who is 8 and thinks that the world should revolve around her, but knows it doesn't so she tries to make it anyway.  These three are the perfect children, but there is one more child, a child I have yet to see, but I know he lives there because Momma keeps telling me about how this child does all these bad things.  It goes something like this:

Momma: Who knocked over the pencil sharpener and left the shavings   all over Benji's bed?

Sunshine:  I didn't.

Moonbeam:  I didn't.

Shade:  I didn't.

Daddy:  Well don't look at me!

Momma:  Somebody must have!

That Somebody has done all kinds of things inside the house and outside.  Somebody left his shirt on the front proch.  Somebody spilled water in the bathroom and didn't clean it up.  Somebody smeared the wall with a yucky goo that Momma stuck her hand in.  I have never seen Somebody.  He is mighty sneaky, but when I do, I am going to bite him on the butt!

Babysitter Benji

Happy Mother’s Day! Arooooooo, Hugzzz, Monty & Sandi

 Hi friends,

      We have been so lax in getting barks out that it seems ridiculous. I am still Benji the Babysitter as Emily and Conner's dad is still in the hospital. Momma said that he has been in there for almost 30 sleeps now. That is a long time. The kids are really great, I am getting used to having my hair styled, and yes even having to walk around with a mohawk or two.

     This week has been a different kind of week for us. One day it started to rain, and it rained and rained and rained. Lots and lots of water was on the ground outside, then all that water started coming inside! Momma and Daddy were very upset, and I was afraid my new bed might float away! They have spent the last two days trying to get the water out of the house. Momma just keeps saying "What are we going to do?" Daddy says a bunch of words that I am too much of a lady to repeat.

     Momma and I have been so sad about Dukie's passing. We wish we could do something for Emily. She and Dukie helped us find a medicine that took away most of my arthritic pain. We feel we owe them more. 

     When we go walking, most of the time it is after dark, so we try to be quiet and not disturb the other dogs in the neighborhood. So a lot of the time we don't talk much and if we do, we talk very quietly. Last night while we walked, we talked about all the friends on MDS that went to the Bridge like Penny and China and Butch and Chi-Chi and now Dukie and all the others. I told Momma about how Uncle Tippy comes to me in my dreams and tells me about the Bridge. I told momma that I hope she will not be sad when I go to the Bridge because that is where Uncle Tippy lives now, and it is so wonderful. I told her that I wished that all dog pawrents could know what us dogs know about the bridge. Then they would be happy when their sweet babies got to go. Momma just smiled that smile she uses when she knows no matter what, I am not going to understand.

     Then we talked about our friends that are still here and how wonderful and supportive they are even though we are not on as much as we once were, and how much it helps to read all those sweet barks of encouragement and strength. Thank you so much.

Hi Daisy,

Well I have been really busy this week. Emily and Conner's dad, my human uncle is, in the hospital and I have had to be Benji the Babysitter the last few days. It is hard work. The day starts early with me having to get them up and ready to go to school. Then Daddy and I have to drive them to school. Then we have to come home and rest up because in a little while they come home and we have to get supper for them. Momma comes home from work and that is helpful because then she can help them with their homework while Daddy and I are cooking supper. Then the bed time routine kicks in. While they are getting baths and brushing teeth, Momma and I sneak out for our walk. When we come back, we have to kiss them good night and then finally we go to bed. Whew! it is a lot of work for an old girl like me.

      Today is kind of a scary day. Fires are burning all around us. Whole towns are having to be evacuated. Momma and Daddy and I were in a fire when I was a much younger dog. Our house burned. That was scary then. Now I am older and can't get around good. I hope it doesn't come any closer to us.

Did you hear what I decided to name my cart? I decided to name it the Boomer Zoomer

Easter will be soon. I ike that because Momma will let me have an egg or two. That will be good. We hope you all have a wonderful Easter weekend!

I have mastered a new art so unique that it will revolutionize dog walking the world over. Furends, it is time to take a stand against those showy for-the-enterntainment-of-humans-only tricks like rolling over, playing dead and jumping through hoops. With this technique, you will save yourself time when you are out with your humans. No more "Hurry up Fido, I haven't got all day!" No more "Oh, will you hurry up and find a spot?" I call it the "Walk-n-Pee method. The only requirement is a cart like mine. You put your feet on either side of the foot rest and let her rip. No need to stop walking, just keep right on moving your front half while the back half does its thing. With this strategy you will have more time to sniff, more time to bark at friends, and yes folks, even more time to chase cats and squirrels! And I, the only dog to ever master this unique feat, will teach all my MDS friends personally free of charge. Call 1-800-GO-Benji to schedule your appointment today!
