Born May 28, 2002, Bentley and his sister came to us that summer. Though we nurse an enormous void at the present time, he changed our lives with the loving way he sat in a lap, licked and snuggled, barked in delight when he was learning a trick or listened intently to a new story (or song). He was a friendly boy and remained gentle and sweet until the day he left. Our home is not the same without his nails click-click , ruckus, and scent. We (Sister Bazil too) still look and listen for you before remembering you left before us. However, instead of documenting how much we miss you and suffer you leaving, I write about how you made me laugh, sing and dance, run and jump, hold and smooch—— all the good things is what you nurtured and taught me. When you picked me to be your mom, you made me a better person. He has invoked happiness forever in our hearts and he is now felix in auternum (forever happy). WE MISS YOU BENTS
