Seems like just yesterday we were bringing Bennett home and dealing with those sharp puppy teeth. He was such a chubby puppy, he could barely run without tumbling over his belly:
Sadly, Bennett died this morning. He will be sorely missed ~ he traveled the world with us and was definitely part of the family. We have lots of wonderful memories with this sweet, lovable, faithful dog:

See you at the Rainbow Bridge!

A note from us above…
To those I love and
Those who love me
When I am gone. Release me, Let me go-
I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears.
Be thankful for our beautiful years.
I gave to you my love You can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown.
But now it’s time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must.
Then let your grief be comforted with trust.
It’s only for a time that we must part.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, Call, And I will come.
Though you can’t see me or touch me, I’ll be near,
And if you listen with your Hearts, you’ll hear
All my love around you soft and clear,
And then, when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile and say:
“Welcome Home”

Thanks everyone for your thoughts on Ben. Sport is a little out of sorts and sticking very close to me. In time, he may come to enjoy life as an “only” dog and all the undivided attention. We sure miss Bennett, though ~ the house seems so quiet and lonely.

My sincerest condolences on the loss of Bennett. I know how hard it can be to lose a valued member of your family. I hope FG is doing ok. I am sure you gave him a wonderful life and in return he blessed you with lots of love. Only time will ease the pain but I hope you find comfort in your memories.
