Wild Things





Benny Ray loves animals....like squeal-and-go-crazy-love. (Much the way I am with Tim Curry, or say S is with Celine Dion.) Dogs and cats are his favorite, but he also loves penguins and today was chasing an ant all around the living room floor, squealing and trying to "pet" it. He kisses, hugs and talks to every animal he meets. We want to get Ben a "da" (that's dog, in case you aren't fluent in toddler-speak) but currently can't justify all the time we'd have to leave the pup while we're traipsing about seeing far-away family and whatnot. Alas, for now cute stuffed animals, multiple trips to the zoo, and visits with friends' pets will have to suffice. Poor Benny Ray.

Miss you, you crazy animals!!!
Love the adorable pictures of the offspring. I think you should PhotoShop in some blood around the mouth of the stuffed German Shepherd animal, and perhaps around Ben's neck and face too....just a thought. :)

Raffa thinks you have a beautiful, large son. Can't wait to see the Benster with folks in 'Dena. I'll have the CoCo ready, we'll see if he loves all animals. :)
