Tbere are so many pets that need homes. That, and my little Benji only has two more years left to live. Pretty damn depressing, having a dog I love die of old age eventually. I know Mandy will miss him too. Benji is not just "another dog". He was the runt of the litter when he was first born.

Benji also used to give me kisses on my face when I was a preteen, which I loved. Because it showed he cared about me. There was no other dog we owned that ate my "Tale Of Two Cities" book, which I had to repay for out of my own pocket because I didn't want Mom to pay for it.

Even as an old man, Benji's always happy to see me and give me kisses. He can't see as well as he used to, and he looks so cute every time I pet him. Sorry, but this is hard to write for me. I'm just so attached to the little guy.

Not only that, Benji is the dog who puts up with Mandy's ADHD craziness. Not many dogs would be so willing to do that, especially a dog like Mandy who constantly annoys and bugs him due to her constant need to play (Don't get me wrong, but Mandy gets played with a lot).

When it's time to go, Benj-Benj, we'll miss you.
