RIP Bently

[doobs]

So my daughter called a bit ago.

Her dog, our dog, Bently passed on this afternoon.

He was 17 years old.

He lived with my wife and I from the time my daughter went to FLETC in 2007 until about 3 years ago.

Farewell dude,

Very sad news - our furry family members leave such deep scars in our hearts

He led a good life and I'm sure he appreciated all your loving.
Sorry for your loss, but even dogs can't live forever.

Sorry. I’m sure you gave him a wonderful life.

I have done mostly what most men do,
And pushed it out of my mind;
But I can't forget, if I wanted to,
Four-Feet trotting behind.

Day after day, the whole day through --
Wherever my road inclined --
Four-feet said, "I am coming with you!"
And trotted along behind.

Now I must go by some other round, --
Which I shall never find --
Somewhere that does not carry the sound
Of Four-Feet trotting behind.
Rudyard Kipling

So sorry for your loss.

Thanks all.

Bently was my faithful companion when he lived with us.

He was definitely a man's dog. It's odd how that works some times.

My job called for me to travel for extended periods (a month or so). When I would return he would have nothing to do with me. At least for a while. It would take him a little minute or so and then he was all over me. LOL.

This is him in his "Darth Vader" costume that my wife bought.

He was less than amused....
