Ben's story sounds so much like Phoenix's. Ben had a wonderful life with good care and other canines to share his life. He had everything he wanted.

I hope that he will have the next dance with Texas at the bridge.

I'm so sorry John. It's never easy to let them go - no matter how long they have lived in our homes, I like to believe that they live in our hearts forever. Please be kind to yourself and give Ripley an extra scritch or two from us here in Vermont...

God speed Gentle Ben.

Bless his heart John. Bless your heart too. Ben was lucky to have a good home with you and I'm sure he's at rainbow bridge bragging about his life and his master.

I know it's never easy. I'm going to light a candle right now for Ben.

God Speed Ben.

John -
I believe loving our pups enough to let them go, knowing what a huge hole you'll have in your heart, is one of the kindest and most loving things you can do. I feel for you! Godspeed sweet Ben!

Bless you for giving Ben a chance at a wonderful life when most people would never consider adopting a dog of his age. Godspeed, dear Ben.

Very sorry to hear of your loss . . . . it sounds like Ben was a great fellow.

Best wishes.

I am so very sorry to hear about Ben. May all the wonderful memories you have of Gentle Ben bring you peace and comfort.

I'm very sorry for your loss, John. It's extra hard at this time of year too.

John, I just got to the forum and saw your post. I am so very sorry to know that you have lost Ben.

Our Reggie is one of those lab/golden boys who came through golden rescue because one of our transporters could not leave him at the shelter.

Please know that we are thinking of you tonight.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. After reading your post, it sounds like you and Ben found eachother at just the right time. 1 in 999,999 is pretty darned impressive. I can imagine the stories Ben and Jennu will be sharing as they wait for you at the Bridge.

Take care, and Godspeed sweet Ben.
