Bentley...

Most of my posts on this old blog of mine are pretty happy but that's not always how life goes.  Many of you know that we have had bentley for 8 years.  At times his shedding and licking drove me crazy but he was the nicest sweetest dog that you would ever meet! All of the kids in our neighborhood loved him! I often would look outside and find the younger kids riding on top of Bentley while he was relaxing in our front yard. Over the past year Soley and Bentley have became best friends.  She would spend all of her time at the house playing with him, making him jump though hoops, and running outside.  Whenever we go away Soley cries, I mean cries, for him all week long.  They truly were best friends.  This past week while we were at the beach we got a call from Jon's best friends who were keeping him saying that he was not doing well.  To make a sad story less sad he passed away, and we are all completely heart broken.  Telling Soley was the hardest thing we have done as parents so far.  She cried for almost 2 hours straight, it broke our all ready grieving hearts.  It's crazy how much we as adults can get attached to animals, but a child it's a even deeper bond. 

We love you Bentley!
