BrGreyhndz Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) We said good bye to our very handsome Benson yesterday. He was a wonderful dog who join our family a week after we lost Nate. Benson was the sweetest of greyhounds- a favorite among those who met him. Stunning and shiny black in his youth, he became easier to photograph when his face turned grey. He rarely caused us any concerns. He loved to walk, eat and snuggle on the sofa. He was the perfect afternoon nap dog always taking up as little room as possible along the back of the sofa with his head on your chest. We will miss him very much. He is now reunited with his beloved Chloe, his sister Polly and the fabulous Nate Dogg who he didn't get to meet.

My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
