Because of him,
we have learned everything we can about caring for dogs, and now his
legacy carries on, and we are still learning.
Often we listen for the jingle of his collar tags, the thump of
his tail against our legs or the table. And then we remember, our
tears start to fall our best friend crossed the bridge, he has
gone to heaven. Ben – so much more than “just a dog”,
Ben our precious friend.

Ben - Our furry
friend. The heart of our love for dogs. Our companion, our soul mate.
Now we are looking back at what he taught us. He was the dog who
started it all. And then he came into our lives and taught us about
loving a dog so much it still hurts to type this after he has gone,
about caring for a dog and having him be as much a part of our
family as anyone else.

Ben crossed over the Rainbow Bridge, after a brief battle with canine
hip dysplasia on Friday, July 22, 2005. Although Appa tried everything
there was little anyone could do to cure him. Ben finally settled
near the person, he adored most, Appa and spent the last minutes
of his life peacefully in Appa’s embrace while the doctor laid
him to rest, forever.

We miss him a lot. We don't think this pain will
ever go away.
Ben was our soul-mate.
