Goodbye Baby Benny

What a shock to read this news this morning. I have tears in my eyes as I say good by to Bennie.  It has to be very difficult for you.  Now Bennie is at the Rainbow Bridge perhaps with Sol and keeping each other company.

  My thoughts and prayers go out to you as I know how your must be grieving.

OH MY GOD…..I am devestated and so heart broken.  I love you so much Benjamin and I have never met you!!!  I can not imagine what you are going through, I am so sorry for your loss, words just can not express.  You were loved and treasures Ben and I will miss you.  I am in South Florida…if you need ANYTHING!!!  I will be there.  Good bye Baby Benny. I will think of you every day!!!

I’m so very sorry. I’m sure everyone who knew him,even thru cyberspace, will grieve with you.  I like to think he’s with Sol now,patiently waiting for you.

Benny. The beautiful pug grin, the wisdom of pillow nesting and the joy of pumpkin bread.  You were kind enough to share this special boy with us. Thank you for the wonderful memories .He will always be in our hearts.  We are so sorry for your loss of Benny. Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time and we are keeping you in our thoughts and sending you and your family lots of hugs and love.

I’m so very sorry.  Hugs and many thoughts your way.  My heart is heavy.

There are no words to convey the sadness and grief felt over Benjamin’s loss.  We have lost one of our own and will miss him terribly.  He will not be forgotten ever.

God Bless. Love to the OBP crew.

Bella and I send our deepest sympathies.

i’m so sorry to hear about benny. i know that you are all so sad and will miss him terrible.  i did not expect to read this, this morning.  peace sweet benny.

I don’t have a specific post to share, but just spent a long time looking over all of Benny’s posts. Who will keep the all pillows in line now?

My thoughts are with you and your family.

When I read the heading I couldn’t believe what I was reading and stunned, heartbroken when I read what I know all of us dread. Pugkin bread-I loved reading how sweet Benny loved his pugkin bread. Benny was such a happy boy, hard to believe he was so ill. Condolences and prayers for you,Henry,Luna & Cupid. pastor sue & the Colorado 2

My favorite post about Benny is a recent one, January 13th of this year, about Benny’s evening ritual. That picture of him bringing y’all his puffy is so precious.
Benny and his puffy. Words can not express how sorry I am for your loss. May you be blessed with peace and some measure of comfort. We will keep you in our prayers.

Words can’t express how saddened I am to hear this news.Please accept my most sincere condolences for your loss of Baby Benny. I loved his wrinkles, his gorgeous coloring and sweet disposition. And of course,his love of leaning towers of pillows. He will be missed by so many. >Hugs<

I am in shock and crying I cannot believe this Corrine I just don’t know what to say I am so so sorry and broken hearted I know Sol,and my Cuddles and all our special fur babies were waiting to greet him

I was caught so off guard. I love all your pugs and I know too well what y’all are going through. My Genevieve will be 13 in August and has congestive heart failure. We are staying as close as we can watching her. I have been following your sweet family since you were in Maryland and I know one thing for sure y’all have to be the most wonderful family Benny could have been blessed with. Please give Henry and Luna a kiss for me. I am so sorry to hear this sad news.

I have never been caught so off guard with this news this morning!! I am absolutely shocked!! I can’t even begin to express my sympathy for you. I’ll be in denial with this news for a long time. I’m so sorry Corrine.
Love Roberta, coco, beau, and Lu the frenchi
Xoxo

My heart is heavy with sadness for this pug I fell so hard in love with online and was then blessed enough to meet in real life.  I feel like Benny’s lovely wrinkle and beautiful pug-dog smile helped bring me two of the best friends a person could ask for.  I will admit that Benjamin, Benny Bag O’Wrinkles, Baby Benny, wormed his way into my heart, with his luscious wrinkles and loving manner.  The OBP pugs were my first real experience with pugs, before Jade and then Pink came into my life.  Stalking them made me feel like I too could have a loving puglet in my life.  So thoughts of Benjamin bring me so many feelings of joy, happiness, fun and love that it is almost overwhelming.

The day Sol died was terrible, and I was never lucky enough to meet her, though I loved her like my own and I am, again, grieving for Benny like was my own heart and soul.  However, I would not trade anything for the time I have spent getting to know this noble pugger.  He brought me so many blessings and lovely memories. 

My love for him will live on in those memories and the friendship I have been so lucky to forge with his humans and furry siblings.  All my love to Henry, who must be lost without his brother bud.  All my love to Luna, who must now share a pillow alone. All my love to Cupid, who has one less pugger to stalk.  And all my love to Benny’s human family.

Hugs, smooches and good juju to help heal your heart.

This is the first time I’ve ever posted after all the years of reading your posts everyday; but I just had to write as even though I’ve never met your pups, I am heartbroken and just sick to my stomach. My deepest condolences. I just can’t believe happy, loveable Benny is gone just like that. It seems so sudden. I didn’t realize his issues were as serious as I guess they were.

I can’t start my work day without reading your blog first each morning. Even though I have two pugs of my own, I need my OBP fix as it cracks me up how similar they all are. I’d swear you were talking about my two sometimes…

Again, my heartfelt condolences.

We have been blogger buddies for so long I can’t think of a specific post to share about Benny. But I do still love the photo of him when you asked me to make the Peanuts costumes for them back in 2008!  He was such an adorable Linus! We all try to prepare for this day…I am not sure that is possible.  Thinking of you as you walk these days of healing.

My heart hurts for you, all OBP fans, and for me.  Baby Benny was a larger than life presence.  He will be so missed by many.  My tears are for you, Glynne, Henry (who grew up with Benny and must surely be grieving), Luna (who loved to share pillows with Benny) and Cupid who was not especially fond of Benny, but will truly miss him.

There are many favorite stories, but the one that stands out for me is Benny’s devoted routine of letting himself out after eating, coming back in, picking up his puffy and presenting it to you.  How he loved that puffy. 

RIP Baby Benny, and enjoy spaghetti with Solsey.  Follow that up with Baby Benny’s pugkin bread. I remember that recipe being renamed for you. You can now breathe easy sweetie, even though you are terribly missed.  Hopefully that will give some measure of comfort.

Love to your family,
Sue VDB and Annie Fannie.

Oh my, my heart has dropped for your loss. Benny will always be Benny Bag of Wrinkles - such a sweet soul with as much love as skin folds. He is surely looking down on you with much love and breathing easily. Hugs to you all.

OBP….I’m still trying to fight back the tears.  He was such a beautiful pug with such a beautiful smile.  Take comfort in knowing that all kinds of strangers loved him sooooo much.

My heart sank as soon as I saw the title of the pug blog for today:( He knew he was loved. So very sorry…

My heart is well and truly broken upon hearing this news.
I too have read your blog for many years, but have never posted.  I just want to send you my deepest sympathies.  Benny was a joy to read about.  The 1 year anniversary of my own sweet “Baby Nick’s” passing is coming up soon. 
They are all playing at the ‘bridge” waiting for us to meet again.

I am so sorry for your loss. I know Benny had a good life with his wonderful family. I don’t think he could have been raised by a better family. I love your pugs. I look forward each day to see what the pugs are up to. I am very saddened today. Love and prayers to your family.

I always think of Benny and his French bulldog impersonation. So many more happy thoughts of Benny!

We are so sad to hear this!
I look forward to reading your blog everyday, and feel as though I ‘know’ your little ones. With two sweet senior pugs of our own, your stories are funny and insightful!
I’ve never posted a comment here, but really wanted to send condolences for your loss…Benny had the best care possible, he and his puffy will be missed!

RIP Benny. I so related to you because my youngest pug looks just like you. We well all have such sweet memories of you. I can’t believe you’re gone. Heaven well have many soft clouds for you to share with Solsey.

Thank you for sharing him with us.
Such shock and sadness.
I loved any pictures of him staring intently for food.

Penny, I am so sorry over the loss of your Beau. So sorry you were not there with him.  You must be a special person to send your condolences to the OBP family when you are grieving yourself.

We are so sorry to hear this. We don’t own any pugs ourselves, but were drawn in by your brood’s wonderfulness and personalities, and the great extended family you have here, so we feel we have become a part of it in a way. We are broken up about Benny too, and offer you our deepest condolences.

I think one of our favorite Benny pictures was him with his favorite toy, where he was trying to get at the thing inside. He seemed to have such a love of life, and we will all miss him so much. Such a great guy x

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss of beautiful Baby Benny.  I was shocked when I read it this morning.  My favorite stories are the ones about the pillow pile.  Our Jackie also has a love for multi pillow sleeping spots.  I’m sure Benny is looking down from the bridge atop the best pillow pile ever while he waits to be reunited with you.  My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I am shocked and saddened. i have been following your blog for many years. I have so many fond “memories” of baby Benny. I love his love of piled up pillows and most of all his puffy. My grumble of five are sending lots of pugs and kisses your way. i am so sorry for the loss of such a handsome boy. XOXOXOXO

All day Baby Benny has been on my mind, and I’ve come back here several times to read all the comments.  I am so moved by the many wonderful people here, who have expressed so very much love, compassion and caring!

I am so sorry to hear this.  He lived a good life with you all.  So many sweet pugs are greeting him now.

Grammy, I am so very sorry you lost your Baby Benny as well.  He obviously adored you and through the OBP posts, I know you took excellent care of all of them. I know you feel the terrible hurt as well.  I’m also glad you were able to be there with him during his final moments.  I know he felt the love.

I have come to this page over and over again, reading the original post and all the comments.  I just can’t believe that Baby Benny is gone - it is as if I lost one of my own pets.
    I live in a condo complex that does not allow dogs and have never had one of my own (just kitties, which I love with all my heart).  So I loved reading about beautiful Baby Benny and his brother and sisters.  I think Benny might just be the most beautiful pug I have ever seen, with his creamy light fur and his delicious wrinkles.  Thank you, Corinne, for sharing him with the world.  Please know all the joy he has given to so many people like me, and also know that you provided him with the most wonderful, pampered life any pet could ever have.

Such sad news! I have only ever posted a handful of times but have loved the antics of your little grumble of pugs! Benny had such a happy face, and his love comfy pillows is something i could always relate to. A pug after my own heart!
He may be gone but he had a wonderful, pugkin bread, snackies, love and fun filled life!

Oh my God!! I just got chills when I read this. So many prayers and love are coming your way. Baby Bennie had a wonderful life and couldn’t have been loved more. His little soul will live on forever.

I cannot express how much comfort everyone’s kind words has brought us.  I know that you grieve the loss of Benny with us. Thank you for letting me share the joy that was Benny with you. Whenever Benny or Henry or Luna do something silly I always think I can’t wait to share that with everyone on OBP. And when it was Benny’s time my heart also broke because I knew I was going to have to share the horrible news. I told him that everyone that reads about his antics loved him very much. Thank you for your support. It helps us more than you know.

Tears as I post this. So sorry to hear about your sweet boy
Benny. Rest in peace

I am so stunned to read about Benny! I’m so very sorry. I found your blog when I lost my Baby Rocko a few years back. Your stories and pictures helped get me through all my grief. I hope you know how special Benny and you all are and how thankful I am that I got to know Benjamin, Henry, Luna, Sol and Cupid. Thank you for sharing your wonderful pugs with us. Benny was so very beautiful, I will miss him so very much.Take comfort in knowing he was beloved.

I have never posted before and should have as a thank you for sharing your pugs every day. I am so sorry for your loss. Your blog is the one I check every day and feel as an extended pug family. take care,

I’ve been reading for years and have never commented before, but wanted to add to the condolences for your Benny.  He was clearly a special guy, and he was lucky to have been loved and cared for so well.

From our pug family to yours, thank you for sharing his life with us.  We’ll be thinking of you in this difficult time.  Please take care.

When I started researching the marvelous thing that is the Pug breed, this was one of the first blogs I came across. I think it was your Peanuts themed Halloween costumes that ‘sealed the deal’ for me and my family as to whether pugs were right for us.

For years I’ve followed the adventures of Solsey, Luna, Henry, and Baby Benny. And for years I saw the tremendous love and dedication you have for your babies.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Corinne. But know this: Benny lives on, inside all the people that loved him.

I am so sorry for your loss! RIP Benny ... you were loved!

I am sooo sorry for Baby Benny.  I just opened the Pug Page this morning, Monday.  I am soo sad for all of you, Benny’s family.  I too have a 15 year old with trachea issues.  Zach takes pills to rest.  O tears are filling me up for your loss.  God Bless Benny and may he be happy where he has gone.

I am so sad to hear this news. Sweet, wrinkly Benny has been a part of my morning wake up routine for close to 5 years now.  My heart aches for you and the other puggies.

I’ll never forget “Benny and the Jets” and of course, his fave, the puffy.

<3

I am stunned, I am beside myself with sadness, and I don’t know quite how to handle it.  I always looked at Benny with the “He will live forever” attitude.  Well, he will live forever in my heart and mind.  Corrinne, I know that I can say nothing to relieve your pain.  Just know that you and yours are in my prayers.
I am so sorry.

I was away this weekend and away from my e-mail.  When I read about Benny this
morning, I was heartsick. I am so very sorry for your loss.  When I think of Benny——I think of Pugkin Bread. After reading so much about it, I started making it for Meiling and it is now her favorite treat!  Every time I make it———I will think of Benny, say a little pray for him and smile. Benny brought so much joy to so many people.

Every passing is such a loss to us and his companions, Henry and Luna.  Tears are the first answer then fine memories of a life graciously shared.
