My beautiful sweet Benny boy decided to leave me tonight. At 6:10PM Benny
lost the fight with terminal lung disease. He was a brave boy and he fought
hard, but in the end, he was too tired to go on.  He goes home with a big
piece of my heart, he leaves me with tears on my cheeks and a hole in my
soul. He was almost 27 months old... he leaves behind his brother Russo, now
the only survivor from my original four. In his strong days, he was alpha,
the strong one but he ruled fair, never hurt anyone. He was an explorer,
always on the go, on a mission to see how far he can push. He was strong, he
was brave, he was beautiful and he was mine...
I love you Benny, go and play with all the other rats at the bridge, while
you wait for me, I'll be here missing you...

What a beautiful boy.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  Words are hard now but
knowing you give your babies such wonderful a home, I hope, gives you some
comfort. And  also knowing they are happy, secure, and feel loved because
you came into their lives.  Take care,  J

Joanne,

I'm so sorry. What a wonderful picture, it brought tears to my eyes.
Bless you for giving him a wonderful life.. I'm sure he's running
around at the bridge telling all the rats what a great time he had
with you!

take care
Klary

Aww, Joanne. I'm so sorry. I seldom respond to these kinds of posts,
simply because I don't know what to say really.  I guess you know
already that time does heal, eventually, and to feel blessed for the
time you were able to have with such a wonderful creature.  

Well, obviously, I still have trouble finding words for such a
situation.  Just know that there are others out here who feel for you.
It's never easy, but hopefully the happy memories you have of Benny
will help you and your loved ones through this difficult time.

They are such heartbreakers aren't they?  Little animals with such great big
personalities...it hurts so much to lose them but you know you will one day
see them again.

Much love to you and Benny.  I have you both in my thoughts. Tears are
welling up in my eyes for him as well.
Ollie - 22 Feb 2004 05:14 GMT
Oh Joanne,  My thoughts are with you and your Rattie Family.  Another furry
Angel away to play at the Bridge.  Remember, just a thought away.

Kind regards Kate

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Joanne.  What a beautiful little guy Benny
was.   I know how difficult it is, but try and take comfort from the fact
that he wanted for nothing, he had the best life a rattie could wish for
full of love, care, fun and happiness with you and your family.

Hi Joanne,

I am so sorry to hear about Benny. What a handsome boy.

John.

Awww Joanne :o(  I am so sorry to hear about Benny :o(
Seeing him picture made me cry ............. Thinking of you at times that
are always so damn hard.
He is waiting just a thought away .............

He looks so much like my Ben. He is my 1st rescue rat and I have no idea how
old he is. I know he is getting more and more of an old man every day. Hurts
that we've not even had him 2 months, but we fill their little lives with
such love don't we?! Your Benny was indeed to very loved.

xx

Joanne...

My deepest sympathy goes out to you in this time of loss.  Benny has a new,
higher mission now, a new officer among the ranks at the Bridge.   I will
light a candle for Benny and say a prayer for your comfort.
