Benji

 

BenjiBenji entered our home and our hearts in December of 1999 at the age of 9 ½. We don't know anything about his younger years, but we imagine him as a playful pup with a lot of spunk in his younger life.   

Benji was such a sweet, gentle, and loving dog and our very best friend for almost 4 years. He developed seizures and incontinence during our years with him, but this was minor to us, and it didn't damper his charming spirit. He was such a loyal companion to us for the short time we had him. 

Benji had some strokes at the end and lost the ability to walk and had also stopped eating his regular food. We spent 2 wonderful days constantly by his side until he went to the Rainbow Bridge. We will scatter some of his ashes in the snow in our backyard where he loved to roll whenever it snowed and will keep the rest of his remains in a special place in our home. 

We hope we were able to make him as happy as he made us for 4 years. We will always be thankful to LEARN for finding him for us. He will be terribly missed and will always be in our hearts.
