I feel so bad for you and Benny... I can't imagine being put in that sort of scenario. If you could find someone to go by a couple times a day and play wiht him, walk him and feed him it would be ok for the year. Maybe a responsible teenager in town, or a friend would be willing to help you. Like another person said you should try talking to your vet, maybe the local highschool about getting a student who really loves animals and is looking to get into a related profession. (students may also be able to use it as volunteer time) The only other option is to lessen your load at school maybe stretch out your last year into two?? I know that's probably not what you want to do, but if you really want to keep him it might be the only way. Otherwise, you may have to re-home him... sad, but true if you can't be there with him. You just don't want him to slip into such a deep depression that he can't get out of or you don't want him to get used of not having anyone around either. Tough decision, good luck & keep us posted.
