Bentley…
As I’m sitting here writing this, I still can’t believe your gone.. You were mine and John’s little boy.. The minute I saw your sad little eyes and those floppy ears I knew I would love you forever.. John felt the same way, I’ll never forget how his face lit up when I brought you to him for his birthday two summers ago in July. You became such a huge part of our lives, that will forever be missed. I remember how timid and shy you were when I first got you, and how much you opened up and became our fun loving, clumsy little Bent.. You touched everyones life who met you.. And quickly, John’s family, and mine as well, fell in love with you too..
You were so smart.. You would sit, shake, and wave bye bye with so much enthusiasm.. And you had such a huge heart, you loved all other animals and people. You were so sweet to everyone you met. Oh how we loved those evenings when it was just me, you and John laying in bed.. Of course you had to squeeze your way in the middle of us on that little bed! Always the center of attention 🙂 You loved going everywhere with us, and you loved trips to Petsmart.. Of course I can’t leave out our bath-time fun.. I can’t even recall all the times me and John sat in the bathroom with you, me with a piece of cheese to keep you calm, and John struggling in the water with you, washing you off from a day of play..
John was so proud to call you his.. He told everyone you were his baby boy, he loved you so much.. He is devastated without you here.. But even though your not here with us now, you will never be forgotten, theres not one day that will go by my whole life, as well as Johns that we wont think about all the laughs and good times you gave us. It hasn’t even been a whole day without you yet, and I already miss you so much I can hardly breathe.. Things really are going to be different without you little buddy..
We know your in a better place now.. Where you can run around all day and never have to take a bath.. and we hope you know how much we love you and always will.. I’m so sorry things ended this way, and I so wish I could have been there with you, holding you in your last minutes of life..
Our Love Forever and Always,
