OK, I admit it that I refer to all of our animals as "my favorite." But maybe it was more true with Benny. I fell head over heels for him so quickly. Just as quickly as he came to us, he had to leave. Benny was considered a senior dog with a long list of ailments when we rescued him. I didn't care though. He was a constant companion on the farm, following me from the barn, to the shed, to the coop. Even room to room, Benny would pick up his 186 pound body and hhrumphh himself down on the floor next to me. That's all he wanted.
A couple weeks ago, he was once again in agony from his GI problems, this time rendering him unable to stand or walk. It was the worst time for him and it was finally time to let him go. It was time to stop being a hero and let him run in the heavens, the way a Benny should.
Finding Benny was the greatest.
Saying good-bye was the worst.
