Bentley's 13th Birthday December 21st

It's hard to believe it, but our baby is 13 years old today.  Born December 21, 2005 in

Boise, Idaho,  just a block down the street from us.   I knew his doggie mom and daddy

for years before Bentley was born.  He has a sister named Shorty, and a brother named

Joey.  His doggie parents were named Lady and Mr. Rags.

I knew he would be a loving puppy because he came to us from a very loving home.

Bentley has been a joy since he first joined our family.  Always such a good boy with 

a happy spirit.  Always waiting to amuse and to bring love.

He was by my side from the first day I started my blog, and often found 

himself a part of the blog action.

He always received the most amount of gifts at Christmas.  My

parents adored him and showered so much love and attention 

on him too.

The one negative about Bentley is that he has always hated to be groomed.  I don't

know why.  My groomer and I did everything possible to make it a happy

experience, but he stood his ground.  If you look closely, here he is running 

away with his hair brush!

Now Bentley makes his home with us in Texas.  He has traveled all over this

state and has been the perfect little traveler.  Here he is looking at a lovely

cottage in Fredericksburg.

Here he is in San Antonio on the Riverfront, at a dog friendly restaurant called ...

Charlie Wants a Burger

And, Bentley had a yummy burger too.

Of course he gets to stay at posh resorts with his Mama and Daddy,  and gets

to climb up on the bed pillows to get comfy.  Why?  Because we love him!!!

We are so blessed to have this little peanut in our lives.

This tribute is for you, dear Bentley, from your loving and devoted

Mama.

Big Texas Hugs,

Susan and Bentley, the Birthday Boy
