Binky's Corner

Olivia "Binky" rescued me on July 3, 2009. She was waiting for me at a local shelter. As soon as I brought her home, she discovered the unfinished back to one of my overhead kitchen cabinets and made herself a cozy nest on the top shelf next to the wine glasses. Binky now runs the house, and I wake up laughing most mornings because of her.

She's helpful at managing the finances. As you can see, she guards the checkbook faithfully. Her favorite expression: You don't need it. Unless, of course, the 'it' is Fancy Feast.

Binky plays hard and, sometimes, just has to nap for a minute--or an hour. I swear, she really does have a nice, soft bed to sleep in.

When I left the sofabed open after stripping off the sheets, she thought this was just the greatest thing--a bed in her living room. Turns out she enjoys Lifetime--Television for Women.

"Huh? You want what? The bed? But...I just got comfortable. Can't you sleep in the livingroom on the pull out thingy? And don't touch my pillows. I just got them where I want them. Now, turn off the light as you leave."

If you're thinking of getting a pet, visit your local animal shelter first.
