Rest In Peace Benji

Benji was put to sleep at 9:40 this morning. Over the past couple of days he just got to bad, his legs gave in, he stopped eating and drinking, he was a bag of bones, he was toileting on himself and you could smell that his kidneys had gone. Surely the kindest thing to do was to have him put to rest?
I never got to say good bye because he lived in Grimsby with my mum, dad and brother and I live in Surrey. My mum said goodbye to him and sat in the waiting room while my brother (aged 20) went in while he was sorted out – my mum just couldn’t watch and I don’t think I could either. The whole thing only took 1 minute. I had that dog when I was younger then 6, all my memories involve Benji but today it all came to an end. My mum brought him home from the vets and he was buried in the field (where he loved to go) in a hidden spot.

*This link contains a photo of Benji shortly after death – he look peaceful but don’t click if you are upset by this kind of thing.*

(I wiil take this link off in a couple of days)

I am trying not to cry because I have done so many times and I don’t want too, I am trying to smile for him because his made me very proud....I am so proud of him.

This is the only part of having animals I don’t like.

Sleep Tight Benji...
 
Oh ema i am very sorry Xx he is at peace now and he had a wonderful life with you and your mum XXXX
 
I'm really sorry to hear this news. Sleep tight Benji, you had a lovely life. It's so very hard when a dog is put to sleep, I cry my eyes out if any of the dogs at work have to be put to sleep!

Expect he is bouncing about up there with all the other doglets :)

Oh Emma I'm so sorry but it really was the kindest thing for him and the part that everyone dreads but I hope you'll be able to remember all the brill times you had with him and that he had such a loving home too.

Sorry to hear about Benji Emma, he sounds like he had a wonderful life. Just think of all the good times you had together and I'm sure that will help ease the pain.
 
Awww Emma I am so very sorry, at least he is now at peace and you and your family have got so many happy memories and so has Benji. I lost 2 of my Labs the week before Easter so I know they will look after Benji for you.
Take care
