Ben is going to his "forever" home. :) :( They have left him with me for a couple of hours so that they can "shop" to get ready. We'll send him on with food that he has been eating and a nice bed from his original Mom.
What a sweetheart he is and I will miss him so much!!!!!
Logan
:D + :(
Be GOOD, Ben - and Best of Luck with your new Furever Home!
Too bad we won't see more Ben Tails ... unless ... ;)
Hey Logan ~
Why don't you *PRINT* his PT Tails postings - and send them along with him.
And drop a hint that his new FurParents could *JOIN* Pet Talk.
:D
Congrats on finding your forever home Ben!! :)
:confused:
So ... Did Mr. Ben go to his New Home??
Have you received any Ben-Tails from his Mom & Dad?
GOOD Luck, Ben!! :)
I am so slow in responding! :o Sorry about that!!!!!
Ben did go to his new home on Friday evening and I was able to visit with him a bit on Sunday when I delivered his bed, which I had washed over the weekend. He's a bit shy, still, not eating a whole lot, but I know he is in the best hands. They adore him!!!! :)
I'm going to call and check up on him tonight, just to make sure he is doing ok. I urged them to take him to the vet, just to ease their minds that all is ok. These folks have never had a dog and their one request to the rescue was that they please get a "lap" dog. Well, they got one!!! Ha Ha!!!!!
I'll keep you posted as I learn more about how he is doing and adjusting.

8 months later, guess who is coming to live with us, permanently? BEN!!!!!! He is coming tomorrow and if Mack handles it well, which I think he will, I am going to have that precious boy back here with us. His owners love him so much, but their life is getting ready to change and they want what is best for him. Todd is going back to school and will be moving from place to place for training and they were worried about how it will affect Ben.Quote:

Ben will never replace Lilly, but we all recognized that I needed her more than we ever knew and I have missed her so much and the things we did together. Scott is agreeable to this, although he has never met Ben, since he was out of town when Ben was here before. And he is out of town now, too. But, he ok, and Helen is ok, and they both support me on this. :)
I am so happy that I could dance!!!! :D I'll keep you posted!!!
Logan
OOOOO I missed Ben's story originally, but this sounds awfully exciting!
I am going back to read the whole thing now. :D
That's great news Logan!! I'm sure Ben will be happy with you! :D
Are we going to see some cute pictures in the near future? .... hint, hint
I took my camera last night, Randi, but I didn't take any pictures. But I will, I promise!!!! :)
I'm leaving for Atlanta, right now, to go spend the night with my husband, who is working down there. I'll be back tomorrow and will pick Ben up, then. :D
Logan
PS. We're having a major downpour of rain. I'm so glad I didn't leave yet because poor Mack and Honey would have been outside in the dreaded thunder!!!! :eek:
OMG! This is such happy news Logan...I'm excited for you:D
Pictures when you can please!
What wonderful news!! Congrats! :D
Oh My Goodness!!!!!!!
That is fantastic news.
Can't wait for more pics :D
Oh wow Logan, I'm just now seeing this whole thread about Ben.
You sound so excited and I'm excited for you!!! YAY!
Congratulations!
Congratulations on getting Ben!!! :D
Your story gives me hope.
:D
:D
:D
Some things were meant to happen! ;)
Welcome "Back Home", Ben!
Has he passed the Mack Test yet?
:)
Ohh Logan how exciting :D. I will be sending lots of good vibes your way and hopefully Mack will happily welcome Ben home again.
Great news!!
Can't wait for pictures!!!
Ha Ha! I think it is Mack that has to pass the test! :rolleyes: I'm not worried about Ben. I haven't gotten him yet. I'm back from Atlanta, but need to finish my work before I go get him. And I won't go get him before I have time to take Mack on a long walk to work off some of that energy. Long walk has a very different meaning for an English Bulldog in the SC summers. We will walk around the block! LOL!!! :pQuote:

I am so excited I can hardly stand it, although I do hurt for his mom and dad, who are going to miss him so much. I just appreciate the fact that they trusted me enough to ask me to do this.
I'll update you guys, later today! :)
Logan
Oooooo, I can't wait to see pictures! :D
Hope you don't mind me adding this...
