BenBen has gone to the bridge




BenBen was having fun playing fetch in Elkhart Indiana. It was 2 weeks ago. Last Monday we let him leave us for the Rainbow Bridge. When rescued him before he was a year old and when he had been abandoned on a farm. He grew to be my buddy, protector and traveling buddy when I traveled alone. He was 13 and 1/2 years old and lived for 11 months with lymphoma. He then told us he wanted to go and we gave him his wish in a very peaceful way. "Run fast and free now, BenBen. No longer will you be ill or worry. I am so grateful for your love and faithfulness. I ask that the angels let you swim in the river when ever you want."
  • Thoughts and prayers are with you. Please find comfort in knowing that others feel your pain and that you gave BenBen the best life he could have had.
  • Barb, I know it has been a while since we met BenBen and you. Our thoughts and prayers are coming your way. Hopefully we will be able to be in your neighborhood in hopefully not distant future and be able to see you again.
