Happy New Year! It’s been an interesting, rough, and trying year. But still filled with so much love. Today we also celebrate 11 years together! Wow!
Today would’ve been Benji’s 7th birthday…
June 1st, Benji passed away after complications from an emergency surgery.
The doctors went in, did the work, he returned home. It seemed like things were going good, but I knew something was off because I did not want to leave his side.
Early the next morning, he whined for Blong and I, we went to help him get back in bed and wipe him down. He looked at us, and began taking his last breaths.
I wouldn’t have believed that was going to be the last sight of my Benji. Many of you knew that Benji was my first baby, so grieving has been a rollercoaster for us.
Some days, like today, they’re a sad. Others are full of joy. Some days we laugh at Benji’s antics. Other days we cry.
The hardest part in the grief is waking up to look at him in his bed, and him not being there. All of his things still untouched. Food dishes still in their same place. A heart still mending.
Even though this is hard for us, because I made Benji as part of our family, I know he’s better than he could ever be. And I’m happy I was blessed to have him for 6 1/2 years.
Happy 7th Birthday Butt Butt ❤️ I really miss your obnoxious cuddles 🥰
