It was a sad day for all the family as we said goodbye to Benji. He had been suffering from Cushing's disease for several years and recently arthritis had set in. It wasn't an easy decision to make, but his quality of life was virtually non-existent.
We rescued Benji from a Puppy Farm almost 11 years ago, and I'm pleased to say it was closed down a few months later. After we said our goodbyes, Ted and I had a little walk to take it all in.
