Goodnight, B.

"I hold in my arms the best little Maltese that ever lived...Rest in peace my sweet Bentley B. I love you."


Posted as I held Bentley after he was helped to the Bridge. What a sweet, sweet, boy he was and how much I will miss him...After all of it I think for a while I will even miss his annoying medication times twice a day...I will miss his occasional nights of hacking...And I will always miss and remember that cute face, with the best underbite ever. 

God, I wish I could have him back for another day.

That little dog taught me that no matter how much life can suck, it's important to stay upbeat...He would have a terrible coughing fit courtesy of that evil heart disease and then when he was done, up went his curly cue tail and he was off to see what fun could be found. When the tail was down for more than a little while you knew he was really not feeling well...And he bounced back so many times when I thought it was the end. Finally it became too much and my little man could do little else but sleep. We helped him to the Bridge when all he would have to look forward to was pain and suffering...I wanted to spare him that...I hope that was the right decision. I know I could always have been a better mother, fussed at him less when he'd pee in the house...Taken him for more walks....But I hope that he enjoyed his time with us...Because we sure enjoyed him. 


Love you forever, Face.
