"I
Love Lucy" is our perfect family dog and matriarch of our large
assortment of critters. Boxers are known as clowns of the dog world,
and Lucy is certainly true to her breed. Her showcase of talents
include "waving bye-bye", "Bang! You're dead!"
and chicken herding. Lucy is an endless source of entertainment
and a treasure to our family. |

"Gucci
Goo" is the ultimate lap dog. The size of the miniature pinscher
proves to be very convenient when smuggling her into hotels or going
house hunting. Our pocket pooch's specialties are cuddling and over-eating.
Gucci's gentle and sweet nature makes her a favorite for all our
friends and family. |

"Red
Hot Chili Pepper" is definitely a dog of a different color.
Chili's boundless energy manifests itself in a couple of interesting
neurosis, namely kleptomania and hoarding. Her absolute fetish is
our daughter's hair ties; any kind, any size. We believe she is
destined to be a search and rescue dog. Actually, Chili is an extraordinarily
talented show miniature pinscher that has hidden abilities in finding
things we never knew we lost! |

"Nala"
is our most effective barn kitty that we found flea-bitten and abandoned
on the road. She made a fantastic recovery and has since dedicated
herself to the eradication of all varmints proximal to the barn.
Rabbits must taste like chicken, at least certainly better that
cat food! |

"Georgie
Porgie" was intended as a companion to Nala. This arrangement
is still in progress. Georgie was an orphaned kitten whose fallow
mother was killed by a car when he was 2 weeks old. He was lovingly
cared for by a kind lady devoted to salvaging helpless animal lives.
Because of this selfless act of kindness, Georgie is extremely tolerant
of all the smothering affection he receives daily. This little guy
is incredibly sweet, innocent, and is already a great mouser! |

"King
Louie" is our racy little goat fully equipped with aerodynamic
horns and flashy pinstripes. Louie's job is to keep our colt company,
but he definitely prefers the "girls". His favorite part
of the day is when he serves as food critic when sampling the horses'
Cuisine de Jour.

Six
Hen's A Laying! The chickens go under the "Life's Too Short"
category. My better half grew up on a rubber tree plantation where
chickens, cows, and goats were a fixture. However, we narrowly escaped
the anti-fowl subdivision ordinance by using the "life's too
short not to take a chance" theory. We also explained that
these were were no ordinary chickens, but designer chickens, the
Silver-Laced Wyandotte! Our board members, however, seem very pleased
with their free-range brown eggs! |

Last,
but not least, are the most colorful in BenMar Farm. Our Lady Gouldian
finches brighten our days and create a peaceful ambiance with their
delicate song. Our crested American Singer canaries also fill the
air with their boisterously sweet sounds. Together, these tiny family
members are music to our ears! |
