It's Benji's Gotcha Day!

 Woofs to all!!

Way back in 2018, I was in a local shelter in Michigan, after having traveled all the way there from Texas! Imagine that! I was about 6 months old when that happened...but I don't know much else, except that a lady came to see me and later she brought a big man to see me too...and soon a little doggy came too, he and I played together. Then some papers were filled out, and the lady put some other greenish papers on top of them and then my leash got handed to this lady and the man...and I got into a big van, along with the smaller doggy...who I was told was going to be my big brother, even though I was bigger than him, BOL!! We drove for what seemed like a LONG time, and then I was let out of that van, and went into a big house...where there were two other menfolk and a CAT! Yikes!! Well, I sniffed everything I could reach, and went outside in their huge yard...everyone told me that I was here in this new environment to STAY, forever...well at least for the rest of all my days!

And here I am all these years later...my little big brother loves me and we have lots of fun together, well, most of the time...sometimes we decide to have a tiff, but mostly they don't last long and we're good buddies again,. BOL!

That kitty scared me, he didn't like me at all...(Pipo), but the lady who is my petcretary now, told me to be nice to him since he was an old dude and was sick a lot...even though he would whap me if I strayed too close to where he was, even if I didn't even pay him any attention...sheesh! Oh well, sometimes if I was resting he would come up to me and carefully sniff me...sadly he passed away when I had been in my new home for less than 2 years...I sort of miss him...and I know petcretary does, too.

Anyways that's my Gotcha Day tale...and it made for a great almost Christmas present for me, and a very Happy New Year that year, and I get to commemorate that every year again!

So here's to me on my Gotcha Day!! And I hope for a lot more of them, too!

I'm really here to stay forever??

I wasn't too sure at first about snuggles with another pup...but we do that a lot now!

Petcretary says I look like a puppy in this picture, even though I am 6 1/2 years old, BOL!! And starting to get a grizzled muzzle...sheesh, already??

Happy Gotcha Day, Benji!
