Community Pet Spotlight-Ben & Zianna, Oct 2

Meet Zianna and Ben, who live in Niwot with their human companions Alexandra, Richard, and Mikhail, and are the first interspecies pair featured in this space. Writes Alexandra, "I never intended to have a huge white dog, but as it happened, Zianna lives with us and enriches our lives to no end. She is like a sister to our son and resembles Nana from Peter Pan. She charms everyone with her beauty, which is so helpful when there is white hair on everyone. She and Ben, our 10 year old cat, are the best of friends, commanding different 'sit-spots' in the garden and rolling around in the grass. We think Ben has a zippered fur suit on and will turn into a teenage human sometime, but so far he enjoys ruling the house as a feline. We even go on walks together and discuss everything from spirituality to politics."

We look forward to seeing your pets in our spotlight. Please email your photos and captions [email protected].
