Bentleys Momma · 01-09-2009, 11:21 AM

HELLO EVERYONE! I am very excited about finding this forum.

We got Bentley in August '08 when he was 2 months old. I have always thought this breed was just so adorable and heard stories about their personalities but I really didn't have any idea until we brought our ragtop home.

It has been four months now and he is always able to instantly cheer me up the minute I look at him. My husband says I can not stop smiling!

It is EXACTLY like when you bring your newborn home from the hospital and you can not stop looking at them; waking up at night and peeking at them to make sure they are still breathing (ok, and NOT like a newborn...taking them outside so they do not piddle on your toes AGAIN!

). I can not believe I have fallen completely and crazy in love

with him. He has so willingly (and knowingly) taken over my entire life. I don't know how I ever got along without him at my side at all times.

Anyway, I wanted to just quickly say hello and to thank you all so much for your help already. Since getting Bentley (and a clean bill of health from our vet) he has occasionally had a "cough". Usually just once or two times and then we would move about our day making sure his every whim was met. Well yesterday he went into a coughing fit and I was so very scared. I was scurring through internet pages trying to find help for my baby when I came across your site. You all have helped us so much already. I found the discussion topic on reversed cough vs. collasped trachea. We (yes, I drug my husband to the computer to watch it with me... afterall, this was a matter of Bentley's health and YES, the world should stop until the issue was resolved!) we are still not 100% sure which one he has. We believe it is reversed cough but are watching him like a hawk to compare symptoms again, if God forbid, he has another episode, now that we have information on it.

OK, I am sorry for rambling. As you have probably figured out I can talk about him for hours and hours and never get bored

I just really wanted to say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being there for us and I look forward to getting to know y'all better and picking your brains... not to mention hearing funny stories about your babies.

Hello and welcome! Im glad you found us

Hi!

Welcome!

Would love to see pictures of your cutie when you can get some posted.

And I'm shocked that you could talk for hours and hours about a dog...

That's so unlike everyone else on this board.

My friends are glad I have this place to come to so that I don't have to go on and on to them about what adorable thing one of my crew has done now.

Welcome!

I know exactly what you mean: "I can talk about him for hours and hours and never get bored"! LOL Just yesterday, the lady I got Olivia from called just to see how she was doing...we talked for a looooong time and she kind of apologized for taking up so much of my time. I told her, hey - it's not every day I can talk non-stop about how wonderful, sweet, lovable and perfect Olivia is without them looking at me like I'm a bit odd.....
