| ![]() I'm so sorry his time here with you was cut short. Indoubtably you gave him the best time in his life. I hope this may bring some comfort, I have known many animals to hang on until alone or go away to pass, in some ways they protect us to the very end as is their nature. Time doesnt heal all wounds, but it does take away the sharp sting. I hope you and your girl find healobg comfort in eachother.

| ![]() Am just now seeing this and can recall you first posting about Benjamin Button and how cute I thought his name was and how in love you were with your little rescue. I cannot imagine the shock and pain of coming home to find him like that and know it will be a very long time before that horrible memory is not a constant part of you. But you gave Benji a wonderful life full of love and peace and enjoyment in the time he had left and that is precious. He was happy and content and had achieved what every dog would wish - a wonderful, loving home where he could enjoy his best life with a person who loved and cared for him! Remember this, his death wasn't your fault and you did nothing wrong. Illness and injury and loss are the tragic parts of life and all we can do is try to live on as best we can when we face them or have lost a person or pet dearer than life to us but right now, it is far from that simple, right? Go ahead and grieve, rant and cry all that you want and get the pain out. Take each day hour at a time and just get through it. Right now is totally and utterly miserable but as you know, eventually the pain is not so fresh and sharp. Benjamin taught you much about giving and love and he would want you to continue on to help relieve the loneliness and pain of those you have been helping. Live on and honor Benji each day in the best way you know how, helping dogs and people get through the bad times. Suffering and pain usually cause most of us to reach out and to try to find a better place than we are now in. I hope that you can do that very soon.

| ![]() Thank you everyone for your kind words and condolences. This little dog was so much more then that. He changed me for the better. He gave back so much more then I could have possibly given him. And yes, as someone mentioned, he was loved by all! There where several at the nursing home I started frequenting with him that weren't responsive to much at all, but little Benji would put a smile on their lonely faces. He just had a special way of touching hearts, but none more so then my own. And right now my heart is just shattered. My poor Aiyana is taking it just as hard, she won't eat, she won't drink, I took her to the vet today and got her on some appetite stimulants that we're hoping help snap her out of it, but in many ways, that little guy was more her dog then my dog. Aiyana isn't your average dog, I barely see her as a dog because she refuses to act like one LOL She adored Benji, she'd bring me his brush every night, help me bathe him, clean his ears, she just doted on him. But somehow we'll get through this together, some day they'll be another little Yorkie in our lives. But this is such a horrible shock, it's going to take me time before I can bare the idea of bringing another Yorkie into this house. No dog could ever possibly replace Benji, but I do know I'll eventually get another Yorkie - Not to replace him, but to honor him, and continue where he left off as a therapy dog. But not now. Right now I just need some time to grieve my special little man!

YT 1000 Club Member | ![]() I am saddened by the loss of your sweet angel Benji. May he rest in peace. I know this may sound strange but from reading how Benji passed it sounds like he did not want you to witness (his passing). Had you been around he might not have been able to let go. You gave this little boy and wonderful home and endless love and he will be watching over you and Aiyana...
