Benjo - the champion dog

Karen Sargent called - theres a new born litter of little pookies, same parent. Thats a sign because the night before we were contemplating if we should get a puppy as xmas present for his parent.

So decision made, and we went to look at 15 puppies on sunday night, as soon as the door was opened, all the adult dogs rushed out and benjo (pooky's father) attacked him! pooky was yelping and crying for help, so darling picked him up, when i tried to pull benjo away to get him in the house, he turned around and bit me, left a bruise and a small bloody scar on my hand.

i was swinging my hand so hard coz it hurted so bad, first time ever in my life got bitten by a dog!! @^#&*%$&^@%!!!!! anyway benjo was punished and locked in the van. After an hour, we finally picked out this puppy which looked identical to pooky (and benjo too) when he was born.

ready and happy so we left, as i was running down the slippery ice slop clumsily, i fell and landed on my bum, this time it hurts even more!!! yea i know, what a day huh!?

yesterday night we got a msg from Karen saying that Benjo was killed and she would like to discuss something about the puppy we picked out. When we called her back, she was sobbing on the phone - Benjo was run over by a car and that pretty much paralyzed him, so he was put down. They wanted to keep the puppy because she looks very alike to Benjo, and we agreed to pick another puppy.

the scar and bruise are still in my hand, but the dog that did that is gone...it just this ironic feeling.. anyway Benjo hope you are happier wherever you are..
