Ben by Avril & Matt / Avril & Matt

It is now 6 years since we lost Ben. The time has not made losing him any easier, he was part of our family and our dearest friend. Luckily we still have Sabre our Alsation with us, and he helps take some of the emptiness away. As much as we love Sabre we will never forget our Ben.

7 years have passed since we lost Ben, but every day we are reminded of things he did. Things that mean a lot to us and we miss. Our other lovely dog, Sabre, was raised with Ben for 5 years and although he is a totally different breed and personality he has a lot of Bens ways. Having had 2 such wonderful friends to share our lives makes us feel honoured, their total devotion and love makes a lot of lifes struggles seem easier when you know you have to be strong for the friend who relies on you for so much, but who gives so much back in return.

Our Ben was always the Boss
He ran the house & tolerated our living there
He decided when he went for a walk
When he was fed & when he wanted to be left alone.
But our Ben also gave us love & affection by the bucketload
He never bore a grudge and he was always ready to listen when we were down or sad
Our Ben decided it was time to leave us
We miss him so much but we know he is waiting for us and he will love us then as he always did.
God bless Ben – we miss you and look forward to being with you again someday.
Be happy.
