Please meet Ben, my new boy

[anna_66]

Oh Logan I am so happy for you I could cry!

I thought so much when I heard about Ben before that he would be staying...looks like he's come home

I'm glad things went well as can be expected with Mack (oh those silly bull headed boys ) and hope the intro face to face today goes good.

Thanks Kay for posting the picture, he is indeed a handsome man!

Once again let me say just how ecstatic I am for you! Welcome to PT Ben!

I am so happy for you Logan! That is just wonderful news!! He sounds like he has already fit right into your home and already in your heart! His names reminds me of that show with "Gentle Ben" in it....sounds like this Ben fits that description as well!! Congrats!!

Congrats, Logan on your new addition.

Congrats Logan, he's a handsome Golden boy. I love his name too, don't know why but I do. Mack and Ben......best buddies one day??

Welcome to PT Ben!

[Logan]

Well, we survived the night! LOL! Unfortunately, Helen didn't get home until midnight so she was not much help. But Mack settled down and went to sleep after a little loving from his mom and I took Honey and Ben back to my bedroom to sleep. Honey ended up going outside (her choice) and Ben got in the bed with me! I was so tired I didn't even stop him. He was on one side (with his head on Scott's pillow) and Butter was on the other side of me. I think I will not be telling Scott about that! Ha Ha!

This morning, Mack grumbled a bit less. Helen and I will introduce them this afternoon, face to face, if Mack is calm when I get home from work at lunchtime. Guess who is lying at my feet in the office right now? Helen was still asleep when I left for work and I thought it better not to dump all that responsibility on her this morning. Tomorrow it is her responsibility, though, because I have to go out of town for a meeting.

I'll hopefully be able to get some pictures today. You won't believe it is the same dog when you see him. He has a beautiful coat now and has filled out beautifully (maybe a bit too much).

You already know how excited I am about the new addition . Ben is just too perfect to miss the opportunity for incorporating him into your family and your life. As for Mack, I'm thinking he hasn't accepted that you are Top Dog and he doesn't get to be that. Once he learns his place in the pack, he should be just fine and welcome having a buddy. I can't remember if he has been to obedience classes. Maybe the structure of formalized training would help him relate to other dogs in a less dominant manner.

Ben, you are going to have a great day today and every day.
Welcome home!

[finn's mom]

He sure is a handsome chap. I think it's wonderful that you two have crossed paths. I can't wait to see more photos of him. Mack had better just be sweet or else. Now, I have one more reason to come back to South Carolina!

I'm so glad Ben is back with you. I'm sure it was meant to be.

This is wonderful news. I'm so happy for you & for Ben. I love his
reddish coloring & he seems like such a sweetheart. I'll be checking back
for some newer pictures. I'll bet he's still gorgeous.

[Muddy4paws]

Hes got a lovely big smile!

He was on one side (with his head on Scott's pillow) and Butter was on the other side of me. I think I will not be telling Scott about that! Ha Ha!

LOL! LOL! I'll never tell! Us girls have to keep secrets sometimes from the hubbies don't we? One morning Trevor threw up right in the middle of the kitchen table. Fortunately I was able to get it all cleaned up before hubby appeared in the kitchen for breakfast. LOL!

Can't wait for pictures!!!!!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Great News!! Welcome to Pet Talk, Mr. Handsome Ben!! I hope all of the family will accept that sweet boy and this will be the bright light you all need in your lives after all that you've been through. I love him!!

[Logan]

First of all, Helen and I did the face to face, no gate, introduction with Mack and Ben this afternoon. They did GREAT!!!! In fact, we had a hard time getting them to even acknowledge each other! LOL!! We'll just take it a little at a time so no one gets overwhelmed, but I think everything is going to be just fine. Hallelujah!

I took a picture of Mack for you, but I was so embarassed about how dirty his face and ears are that I am not going to post it! Honey is snoozing on the kitchen floor. It is very, very hot here and we are all feeling it today.

Here is Ben a few minutes ago. He was looking up at Helen who was on the stairs.

Like we haven't had a grubby dog now and then? And next to that beauty, Ben, I don't think that either of my dogs would fare well in comparison.

Thanks for the update, Logan. I couldn't be more pleased to know that all systems are go for this to work out well. A big high five to all fur kids. Now when does Helen get a kitty?

[Randi]

Aww Logan, what a sweet boy Ben is! He has the sweetest face, and I love his color. He will surely be a great friend to you all.
