My Benny, with my Golden, Nikki…Who will miss him tremendously!

I have just received the news from my vet. Between now and the next few days I will have to put my Benny, 6 year old Black Lab, to sleep. The Vet has put him on one type of medicine, but, he does not think it will help him.

My heart and soul are just too sad to post the next week…I have not cried so much for a long long time.

My Benny is an amazing companion and friend. He has been with me through some pretty serious issues…

I will accompany him into the vets room and stay with him till the end. He is after all, my friend, buddy and companion.

A Poem That One Of My Dear Friends Sent Me – Priceless

A Message from your dog, Ben
TO: My dear friends Ruth & Chris

I know you are both feeling sad about my having to leave. I’m sad too and I miss the two of you, but I am so happy where I am now. Where I am now, there is no more cancer or sore bones, no fleas or worms. All of us, animals of all shapes and sizes, get along very nicely. There is lots or room to run and roam. The forest and fields and meadows never end. The water in the rivers and streams are cool and taste wonderful. We never get hungry and never get tired, but if you feel like taking a nap there is always a soft comfortable place to lay your head. I wasn’t expecting to get here so soon, so there were a few things left unsaid.

To: Ruth
Thank you for taking such good care of me. For all the times you woke up to let me out and for always letting me back in. For all the times you wiped the mud off my feet after our wonderful walks together. For all the times you gave me fresh inexpensive water to drink and food to eat. For all the care and attention you showed me and for never asking for anything in return. Thank you so much.

TO: Chris

Thank you for being my friend. For al the times you would pat me on the head and back, even though your every move would hurt, you made me feel like I was part of the family. For all the times you would play with me and get me all tuckered out – and then for letting me flop down and sleep as long as I wanted. For being concerned about my pain when I knew how bad your pain was. Thank you so much.
And so, thank you again to both of you. I’m so happy here where I am. Although you won’t be able to see me for some time, I’ll be around – all of us will. All of us that you loved and cared for. You won’t be able to see us, but we’ll be there from time to time just to say “hi” and remember the nice days we spent under your care. I am happy here and I know the place where you two will go one day will be even more beautiful than this place. Maybe one day the two places will become one – we’ll see.

Goodbye my friends. Until we meet again.
