Our beloved yellow lab, Benson, turned 11 today. The kids picked out special dog treats at the store and then searched a neighborhood garage sale for a perfect assortment of stuffed animals for Benny to choose from. His first choice was the monkey, which was eventually snatched by Hunter. So Benson plopped himself on the floor in front of a pile of different stuffed animals and played until his heart's content.
10 things we love about Benson:
1. He is always happy and wears a huge smile on his face
2. He can play the piano...really!
3. He loves to sing....his favorite song is Ole Susanna.
4. He's a tattle tale...any time Hunter is up to no good, Benson will bark. Depending on
how loud the bark depends on how bad the deed.
5. He seeks permission before assuming his favorite position on the couch.
6. He watches over the kids and will bark if he senses even the slightest danger.
7. He gives great "high 5's"
8. He will chase a stick in the water for hours...and then will want more.
9. He's a great lifeguard. As soon as someone goes under water, he will swim out to that person
and circle the area until the person surfaces.
10. He's bilingual. He understands commands in english and spanish...and tilts his head/perks his
hears as though he understands everything we say.
Happy Birthday Benson. We Love You!
