Benni’s
Buddies.

Your pet. Their personality.
A little well-deserved attention.(As if they don’t get enough at home.)

Be honest. Your pet runs the house, doesn’t it?

Feature My Buddy! 🐾

Their moment in the spotlight starts here.
Because do they ever really get enough attention?

Home is better with a buddy.
Let’s meet yours.

You know Benni has a special place in my heart. Now I’m making room in my newsletter for your buddies, too.

Send up to four favorite photos and tell me a little about them—the nicknames, the funny habits, and that one spot at home they’ve decided belongs to them. I’ll turn those little details into a Benni’s Buddies spotlight for Porch Views & Property News and this page.

For me, home is a whole conversation—what’s cooking, who’s coming over, the favorite things we’ve collected…and the pets who think we bought all this furniture just for them. Getting to know the people and the life inside a home is one of my favorite parts of what I do.

And if you know Benni, you know he’s a pretty big part of life at mine. So I’m making room in Porch Views & Property News!

No polished portraits needed. The photos that make you smile? Those are the ones.

SNUGGLY · CURIOUS · NOSY

I’m Benni—Benni Bear, Benzo, or Baby Benni to my people. At home, I claim the pillows on the back of the sofa and supervise neighborhood security from my window perch. Someone has to keep an eye on things!

But open the backyard door and I turn into Tigger—leaping and bounding everywhere. My favorite toy?

A ball. Any ball. Every ball.

A little love for Benni.

Go on. Make my day.

Meet Benni’s buddies.

STUBBORN · SMART · GOOD GIRL

Hi, I’m Stella! My favorite spot at home? The house. I love looking for critters, visiting Jennifer’s home, and my buddy Benni. We’re quite literally porch buddies—we share porch views, too.

I’m off-leash certified in the City of Norfolk and a certified therapy dog with Alliance of Therapy Dogs.

My favorite treat?
Anything edible.
