Wow.. even it's still hard for me to type.. I was cleaning my room, and I was cleaning out a dresser drawer, and I pulled out a couple pictures of Benny, then it hit me..
On December 23, 1998, my family and I put down our beloved family pet, Benny. He was 16 years old. He was my best friend. I'll never forget the night my parents told me it was time for him to go. I was 14 years old, and I was angry. I told them they weren't going to take him away from me. I just held Benny in my arms and just held on to him and talked to him. Kissed him on the head and petted him. That last night, I slept with him on the floor. I wouldn't sleep in my bed. I had him sleep by me, side by side. I couldn't really sleep, actually. I just was up almost all night, looking at him, and I wouldn't leave him. Then morning came, and my mom came down and saw me sleeping with him. I woke up to my mom petting Benny, and she told me it was almost time. I even remember when the vet called us to let us know he hasn't let Benny go. He was upset. He and the vet staff spent time with him. They were attached to him. Then at 11:07 am, the vet called and let us know, he passed on to the Rainbow bridge. I wouldn't let it sink in, until I heard the phone call, and I started bawling, and I just went "Why did you do that, why?" He was truely my best buddy. So, that night, I was in the living room, I was still depressed.. and something caught my attention, and I saw Benny. It was his spirit, I swear, I saw him.. then I blinked, and he was gone.. It must've been a sign to let me know that he was OK and he's happy. He meant the world to me, and he still does. He was my guardian angel - He watched over me when I came home from the hospital. Benny was always with me, no matter where I was in the house, he was always by me. In every childhood picture, you can see a picture of me, and Benny would be in it. :)
So, Benny, I think about you all the time, and I miss you. No other dog will ever replace you. So in honor of you, I will name my future dog after you. Go play hard and have fun!
I'd post a picture, but I will do that later..
