This
is Benji, my eleven-year-old fluffmutt. He's been by my side for half of
my life and I wouldn't trade him for anything. He was born November 11th,
2002. He was twelve weeks old when I got him and he's always been really
well-behaved, never broke things and was house-trained in a matter of two weeks.
He is a rather small dog (He's about the same size as a regular Sheltie) but
he isn't scared of anything besides thunderstorms. He loves long walks,
cuddles, car rides, playing with Tosca, a black labrador who's his best
friend. He loves his vet who has saved his life once and posing for the
camera as you can see. He also likes ham bones, and stealing things I
touched, just to drag them into his basket and lay on them.
Recently Benji was diagnosed with heart insufficiency but he is doing really
well on his meds and hopefully is going to be happy and healthy for many more
years to come.
You can see more of his pictures here.
