Happy Birthday, Benjamin!

Benjamin

Today Baby Benny turns 11 years old!

I know it sounds a bit cliche, but I can't believe that Benjamin is 11 years old. I remember the day we brought him home like it was yesterday.

Benjamin

He was a non stop bundle of energy that ate EVERYTHING! It's hard to see in his puppy picture, since it is so small, but he is chomping on a stick. In addition to sticks, he was a connoisseur of mulch, shoelaces, rocks, wicker baskets, the leg of the sofa and a wild mushroom that earned him an overnight stay at the emergency vet.

Lucky for us, he stopped eating pretty much everything on that list except for mulch. He is still a sucker for fresh mulch from the garden.

While Benny has always had a wild side, his sweet side is even bigger. He is never far away and will happily sit on your lap and gaze longingly into your eyes. Benny has a way about him that makes you feel loved.

I couldn't imagine how boring the last 11 years would have been without Benny!
