As we approach Sept 11th, we remember many people that were lost in a terrible act of terrism. We were all effected in some way that day. One year ago Sept 9th I lost my best friend before I was ready also. My heart already broken Sept 11th hit hard in my house. But even in the face of tragity, alittle glimer of happniess came into my heart. On Sept 11th it became clear why God took my best friend from me just a few days before. Benjamin, a 12 yr old Shetland Sheepdog and a kind gentle dog was called back to heaven to help welcome all who passed that fateful morning of Sept 11th. I think God knew he need help welcoming so many people that should have never been taken from this earth so soon! There isn't a day that has not passed in the last year I have not thought of my departed puppy boy and best friend. But I know God could not have called on a better dog to help him welcome so many souls into heaven that day. I just wish he did not have to take him so soon from me. I had always prayed to God that when the time came, that I did not have to make the choice of ending his life. God answered that prayer and Benjiman passed on to his Rainbow Bridge peacfully and at his time. In this time when so many people will be lighting a candle to remember so many people taken from this earth, not only will I have a candle lite for all of them, but burning bright right beside that it will be a candle lite just for Benjiman. Benjamin, I will never forget the love and warmth you brought to my life. The puppy smiles and puppy kisses. The paw you gave to me to remind me it was time to get another treat. You are missed and will anyways be missed. Though other pet may come into my life, there will never be another pet like you. You were one of my first pest and will always be very special in my heart. One day I know I will feel your puppy kisses on my cheek and see your puppy smile once again. I am blessed to have had you in my life. Your suffering over, I hope you play joyfully in your Rainbow Bridge with all your new friends till we meet again. Your spirit is always welcome to visit any time you like.
