💙 Happy Tails for Benji 💙
Six months after my beloved 15-year-old Dachshund, Winston, crossed the rainbow bridge, 12-year-old Benji came into my life. And honestly, I truly believe we saved each other.
From the moment we had our meet-and-greet at my house, I knew Benji was going to become a part of our family.
He ran up the front steps, straight into the house, and immediately gave me the biggest kiss on the face.
He made himself right at home from the very beginning, as if he already knew he belonged here.
We bonded quickly, and this summer, Benji has become my little travel sidekick.
He’s been on road trips to Toronto and the cottage, where he loves fishing, boating, and exploring.
He absolutely loves his new backyard and all of the new friends and family members he’s gained along the way.
At 12 years old, he’s in amazing shape and still happily enjoys three or four walks a day, followed by his favourite evening car ride.
But our favourite part of the day is definitely our morning routine: going outside for a quick pee… and then getting right back under the covers together.
Benji may have come into my life at a time when I needed him most, but I know I’ve given him a pretty wonderful new chapter too. ❤️
