July 9, 1999 ~~ October 29, 2005
I remember the day I first laid eyes on you, my little Bengi-Boy. You were so very precious and I had no clue why you came into my life at such a bleak time but you did. I was so afraid you entered my life to take the place of a very special little yorkie that was very sick and needed surgery to survive. You did not come in to replace her as I learned, you found your own special little place. I was so proud to have you become part of my yorkie family and it took me the longest time to figure out why you were sent to me. Now I have to figure out why you left just as fast as you came in. I miss you so much my little Bengi-Boy. You will always be with me. You were so clever and left your pawprints in the right place on my heart that no one can ever take away.
I loved the way you would snuggle up to me after you whined to get out of the carrier. Your warm tiny body curled up right next to my neck felt so relaxing. When the mornings were a little chilly, you would use your little muzzle to slither under the blankets to warm up. When you were comfortable, you’d slither right back up to my neck in a tiny little ball. I’d have my hand on you to let you know
I loved you there with me.
I loved the way you would bounce up and down with your tender little bark wanting to be on my lap when I sat at the computer. I am having a difficult time sitting there right now because I can still see you bouncing back and forth letting me know you wanted to be picked up and lay on my lap. You would do the same thing every time I sat down.
I loved the way you would roll out that little red carpet giving kisses every time I picked you up. You never liked to be held though. You wanted to sit right beside
me without being held.
I loved the way you enjoyed your little belly rubs. I would sing you a little song while rubbing your tummy:
“Benni-Boy, my Benni-Boy
My itty-bitty Benni-Boy
Oh how I love my Benni-Boy
My Bengi-Bengi-Boy”
You loved that little song and when you thought you had enough you would wiggle to be put down.
I loved the way you used to look up at me when I talked to you. You would twist that little head back and forth. That was so cute. It was as if you understood everything I said.
I loved the way you would run back and forth from door to door when I came home from work. Your little tail would wag back and forth showing your excitement seeing me again. Oh, if I could only see you again wagging that little tail!!! It is all just a memory now~~a memory that will never fade away.
I loved the way you would give me a smile. Every picture I took to work had a smile on your face. Everyone knew you were happy and commented you always looked like you were smiling. Oh, if they ever saw your real smile they would have been amazed. You would give that quick little smile to show off your pearly whites.
I loved the way you would hop around and turn in a circle. I’d say “Dance, Bengi, Dance” and you’d turn in that circle a few more times for me. That was so adorable!
You did that for no one but me!
It makes no sense to me why you left me so soon. Your reason for being with me was accomplished. You made me very happy and I miss you so much!
I Love and Miss You, Bengi-Boy.
