Bentley: A Star is Born

after I brought him home (peg-legged-like a pirate with a wooden leg), looked out on my patio, and he was skateboarding...using his peg leg to push off with, then sat on it and coasted until it crashed into a huge palm tree in a ceramic pot! He lost three teeth, a piece of pie out of his two left ears, and...well? His leg is perfectly normal, but he still has three ears. Guess we'll have to pierce it, now that he's become an International Star.

Kathy's two cats Foster and Trucker were also adopted from an animal shelter and like everyone else, love Bently.

Bently and Foster Playing with a Piece of Twine.
Foster has no right wrist...a friend of mine who worked at an animal shelter took him home because they wanted to put him to sleep. She found homes for him...yes, I am the sixth owner...he loves to chew computer cords, chase TV screens, etc. I allow him outside, so when he comes in he just plays with Bentley. Debbie(the woman who gave him to me) has two dogs...one of which stepped on his right foot and bent it upright so that hair grows on the top of his right foot, and he walks almost "normally".

Sleeping with Trucker,
Trucker is the cat that Lindsey and I adopted at an animal shelter in Nashville...he was found as a kitten at a truck stop, hence, the humane society had already named him "Trucker" when we got him.

Kathy says Bentley's defective knee is so strong now that he only slightly limps when the weather is damp.

Thanks Kathy, for the wonderful story and pictures.

We'll be doing an in-depth interview with Kathy and her days with Elvis starting on April 22.
