Lovely Ben
by: Ashirley procternonymous

I read your story of Ben that really touched me. I lost my beautiful border collie cross in august 2010 and my heart was in bits, still is when I think of him he was almost 14 and had suffered with his back legs for a few years and eventually had no control over his bowels.

I miss him so much every day and I really feel for you and know what you're going through.

Hi
I was reading your tribute to your beloved Ben. It will be 6 months 13th May 2013 since I lost my little "Hair Ball" (one of his pet names) he was 18 yrs old and people will tell you get over it it's just a dog or try not to think about him, none of it helps we are all different and handle things different. A good friend told me to write a Journal things I remember at the time so I started jotting memories down I cried a lot and still do but I'm getting a lot of great memories and one day will put them into some sort of order. I'm also collecting photos of him to do a collage of his life. It is helping but as I say I still have a cry and talk to him.

It would really be painful at the start, since he's like a member of the family to you. But acceptance of his death will be very helpful. If possible, avoid thinking of him, divert your thoughts to other activities like sports, watching happy movies and talking with friends. Re-arrange the house because, I bet some areas in the house will constantly remind you of him. I am not suggesting that you forget all about him, I just want to help you move on and lessen the pain. In due time, you'll remember Ben with all the good times. This time, without a heavy heart.
And, I'm sure Ben would like to see you happier. You have an angel now in heaven.

Was reading your tribute to your dog Ben. To lose a beloved pet is heartbreaking but you can take comfort that he lived a long and happy life with you, a lot of poor animals never get that chance.

'I Loved You Best

So this is where we part, My Friend,
And you'll run on, around the bend.
Gone from sight, but not from mind,

I will go on; I'll find the strength,
Life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
Share one last look, before I grieve.

There are others, that much is true,
But they be they, and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
Will remember well all you've taught.

Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,
The fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
Take with you this... I loved you best.'
