Dear all friends on Lightning-Strike,

I just found out that a little puppy, who was dumped over the gate at The Gentle Barn in California last weekend, has passed away. He was infected with Parvo, which was successfully treated, but also had Distemper which caused all sorts of brain damage, seizures and everytually took his life. He was so young and innocent. He was also beautiful. (They have posted a picture)

Trevor, now you go right up to that little boy and take darn good care of him from now on. He's your responsiblity because you know what it is like to have brain damage and brain pain and you will know exactly how to love and care for him in Heaven.

I'll never forget you, Benjamin, even though we didn't get to meet on this earth.

Au revoir!

XOXOxoxo

Benjamin

You brought love and joy into the lives of so many people on this earth. God told you where to go for comfort when you were about to go home. Look for Trevor and also for Gretta - a kind chocolate lab. They'll take good care of you.

And to the Gentle Barn and all the work they do - they're ALREADY in the perfect World.

Dear Sweet little Benjamin,

You are always in my thoughts, in my heart and in my prayers. I thank God that you were able to be at The Gentle Barn for the end of your short, short life. I am so sorry for the pain you experienced, espeically at the end. I'm sure that mr. Trevor has found you by now. Stick near him and you'll be in the best of hands (paws) because, although he didn't have Distemper, he had many brain problems that hurt a lot, too. So if anyone up there knows how to relate, it's Trevor.

Now, all of us LSers, please say or think of Benjamin's name once a day, OK? That way, Benjamin "wins" and whoever dumped him doesn't.

Thanks so much!

Love you, Ben!
Ms. Bobbie

Benjamin, benjamin, Benjamin, Benjamin ...... forever Benjamin.

And there was even a very popular movie named for sweet little Benjamin .... what do you think Benji's "real" name was?

This is little Benjamin's song:

Will You Remember Me?

Will you remember me
Like the circled stones
Where you walk alone?
On the ancient hills

Where the wind can speak
My secret name
Like the air you breathe
Will you remember me?

Will you remember me
As your airplane flies?
Over foreign seas
An' breaking skies

Like a perfect child
You can't bear to leave
In your last long days
Will you remember me?

Will you remember me
On the edge of life
Where time runs slow
Where song can fly

In these shuttered rooms
Where we say goodbye
When the soul is free
Will you remember?

When there's no need to breathe
Will you remember me?

Little Benjamin, the answer is "YES. YES, YES! We will always remember you!

Yes, yes, yes......LoveMyMickey! THAT WAS BENJAMIN'S PICTURE!

THANK YOU and God bless you for your loving tribute poem to a beautiful little boy that never had a chance until his very end. And then he was held, loved, sung to, told how much he was loved and died in the arms of someone who really DID love him.

Why is this world so cruel to the most innocent?

You know, LoveMyMickey, if it is just you and Jeanne and me that say his name every day, he WILL live on forever, just like one of our own. So here it goes:

I love you BENJAMIN! I miss you BENJAMIN! You are wonderful BENJAMIN! Trevor and Mickey and Gretta are all with you BENJAMIN!
I love you BENJAMIN!
I love you BENJAMIN!
I love you BENJAMIN!

And every little soul that comes after you.

Hi Bobbie,

I heard that song on American Idol the other night and I thought of all the animals that are and will be abused and forgotten. Then I thought it would be a good tribute to little Benjamin.

I LOVE YOU BENJAMIN! Mickey, Trevor, Gretta, Bobbie, and Gretta'a Mom all love you too. And I know there are many others who love you too!

God Bless all the animals!

LoveMyMickey

Good Morning Sweet Benjamin!

Did you see that beautiful poem for you by LoveMyMickey? Isn't she something else?

I'm sure, by now, that you have made friends with other puppies and kitties that were in your shoes and ended up in this Heavenly place. I wish that they were all able to transition with the love that you had. If not, they are getting everything they can possibly need or want now. Including a few of us that will never forget them!
I wish more viewers would take this seriously and say/write your name down. God had/has a mission for you and through The Gentle Barn you will fufill it.

Dreamer, Kelley and I all love you, Bejamin. And did you know that I will be saying your name over and over again? That's because Benjamin is the name of my grandson! Isn't that great?

Have a fun, fun day my little one!

Love,
XO ms. bobbieXO

Hey, Benjamin! Over 66 people have viewed this site and that means maybe THEY are saying your name, too!

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Soon, our mission will expand, little Ben, and all because of you!

Love you, Benjamin! wub.gif

Hi Benji

Here's some more love coming your way. Someday I'll write a little book about you - I'm going to write a little book about Aloo, a dog I met last year in India, too.

Benjamin, Benjamin, Benjamin ....... your name lives forever in the sky and in our hearts.
