Favorite Photos of Our Dearly Departed Baby Benny

We recently had a photo book done of some of our favorite Benjamin moment/memories. Some are not specific memories so much as they, in general, capture his personality.

Besides being an adorable puppy pic, this picture reminds us how light Benjamin's ears were as a pup. While they never got quite as dark as Henry's they did darken up over the years. This was also a rare moment of quiet for him. He was quite the active puppy.

This is one of my all time faves. Benny hugging up to Henry, his bro, his BFF, his bestie, his partner in crime, his anchor.

Benny was never one to be afraid of the vacuum, but for some reason on this day he sought refuge from the loud machine in the toy basket. He jumped up there all by himself. Its a wonder the whole tower didn't collapse.

Benny was always on the lookout. But, it was always from the most comfortable spot in the room.

One of our many action shots of Benny. In his younger years, if he wasn't sleeping, he was darting off at full speed looking for some sort of fun.

Being his silly self and using his tail to fish in the pool.

A classic shot of a very tired Baby Benny. From the looks of his dirty face, I can tell he had a day full of walks and play time.

Benny never wanted to miss out on any of the action. He was more than happy to pull a chair up at the table.

His favorite spot on the sofa.

An infamous sleepy Ben, luscious wrinkle shot.

This was at the Epic hotel in Miami on the night before the 1000 Pugs photo shoot. Our room was on the 25th floor and we had a beautiful view of the city. The elevator ride to our room terrified Benjamin. As soon as we started to go up, his legs gave out from underneath him and his belly hit the floor. We could not control our laughter. Once the elevator stopped and we got to our floor, Benny was his normal happy go lucky self. When we got to our room, the curtains to the floor to ceiling windows were drawn. When I pulled the drapes open and Benny saw how high up he was he almost hit the floor again. It took him a few minutes to get used to living the high life.

The kitchen. Benny's favorite room in the house.

The classic, Baby Benny head tilt.

You can't have a picture collection of Benny without having a picture of him on his favorite white rug.

The classic, Baby Benny side saddle sitting position.

Like Rain Man, "Benjamin was an excellent driver!"
