Benji (Dick 08-346)

Profile

Welcome to RAGOM Dick/Benji. We decided to change his name cause he just doesn't look like a Dick. He is a GR/Bichon and too cute. He is the perfect size for a townhome, condo or apartment. He was surrendered with his brothers Tom/Bentley and Harry. They melted our hearts as soon as we saw them. He lived with 5 kids, 5-14, and his GR mom and Bichon dad. We've never had a boy puppy in our house, so this will be interesting: I'll let Benji tell you all about his weekend:

Hey,  What is going on here? I had a really big yard that I shared with my mom and dad and brothers and now I have this littler yard and house I stay in. I miss my brothers even if they always picked on me. Nobody picks on me here. My name is Benji Good Boy. You can call me Benji. I have a fur feather butt foster sister, Meg. We play tug o war a lot. She is teaching me about toys and where to do my business. It's not so bad here. I get lots of treats and attention and we go for walks and car rides. We went to a ranch Sunday. They have 3 dogs, Beemer, Rudy, Maggie and 2 cats. Beemer was adopted from RAGOM last year. She loves her Golden life.

FM got too close to the horse fence and electrocuted herself. That was funny. And I passed the cat test. And when everyone was eating, I was tethered to FM and her friends said it would be ok to let me go free. Yea, freedom!!!! And in less than 5 minutes I saw this beautiful ANTIQUE wood rocker and I marked it. FM freaked out. All I remember is some clapping sound and NO NO NO and running outside with her. Geez, I just wanted to tell everyone I liked that rocker. So, after that FM and I were attached at the hip again or me and Meg and the other fur butts were outside with FD on a long cable. I'm crated at home all day and nite. Something about not trusting me. Tonite I go to the vet for a check up and scheduled for the big snip, snip. I'm thinking I won't like that, but maybe I'll earn their trust after that..  That was my big weekend. Hope yours was almost as fun as mine. Gotta go, Bye see ya.. ....Benji Good Boy.


Meg, Me, Rudy, Maggie, Beemer
Those hot dogs sure smell good!!!

Wow, where do I begin, It was a doggie, hotdog weekend for me. First Murphy (he's a schnoodle) came over for a vacation.   Then Peaches & Romeo stopped by.  They'll be on the website soon.  I think I'm in love with Peaches.  Romeo is okay for a boy. They could only stay for a little while cause they were on their way to boarding.  They need to find a RAGOM foster family so they can get adopted.  We're kinda in the same boat, waiting for a forever family, except I'm in a loving home and they're kenneled........bummer.   Here's a picture of me with FM's favorite angel.    She did this with Brenna and Ruby and right after that they got adopted.  Now me. Its kind of her good luck charm.  Not 45 seconds later-----oops.    Me & Meg & murphy were playing in the backyard and then.....thunk.  So, how many bells will have to ring before this angel gets her wings.  FD better find some glue and get those back on.    Then later that nite we went to some friends house and I met Lucky.  He's teeny. Just 4 lbs.  He's faster than Sam and Murphy and a little fraidy boy.  Kinda cute, though.    Wow, what a day.   Sunday was kinda quiet and we got to sleep.  At nite FM took me to a home visit and I met Jenny, a foxy senior golden.  I'm in love again.  Don't tell Meg.  She'll try to de-stuff me.....that's it for now.  Thanks for checkin in...Benji Good Boy.

Hey, So, last nite we did something really fun.  My friends Christi & her fur butt Robbie & me and FM went to visit the New Brighton Dog Den.  And now I have more friends, Sam 07-690 and Jake 08-243 and Nike, Lakota, Jerry.  Thats a lotta names to remember.  Once the sniffing and introductions were done, we played and chased and barked and had a blast.  I was the littlest dog there.  But that didn't matter.  We all got along.  My new best friend is Sam.  He's little like me and man is he quick.  Sometimes you see him and then your don't.  I think he goes invisible, cause then he's there again.  He finally settled down so we could snooze for a couple minutes.     My other new bbf is Jake.  We RAGOM dogs always support each other and stick together.  He's telling me a secret.  Why does every fur butt I play with want to de-stuff me?  Geez, I'm getting a complex here.  There's Sam starting his invisible act again.   And here's me and my bbf Robbie, King of the pool.  Thanks for catchin up with me today.  See ya tomorrow.  I'll have some stories about me & Murphy.......Benji

Hey everyone,  I love it here, but I need a change of place. Meg is winning all of our wrestling matches cause she cheats. Honest, she always instigates playtime.  Ok, maybe I'm telling a tail.  (thats a joke, get it?)

FD & FM love watching us. I think sometimes Meg is trying to de-stuff me. We do that with all our toys. We have a lot of fun.  Here is what I'm talking about.  Notice all the white stuff on the floor.  That's me, honest.     

 

If you are looking for some fur butt entertainment, then contact placementatragom [dot] org and we'll reserve our best seat in the house for you to see our practice rehersals.

Last nite FM took me and Meg on a home visit. This family adopted Bogey 07-174 from RAGOM. Bogey and Meg are from the big ND puppy mill rescue last year. Me & Meg & Bogie and Bailey (a perky little terrier) had a blast playing in the big back yard. Their other golden, Goldie grabbed a comfortable place on the grass and watched us. So, Bogey needs a companion to play with, someone like me for instance. And I forgot all my last names last nite. It was great fun. We finally ran out of energy so FM got some pics of us 3 RAGOM dogs when we finally settled down.

Home Visit massages are the bestest. 

That's me in the middle & Bogey at the top and Meg. 

 And that's us ready to go home. 

Thanks for catching up with me.

Hellllllooo, or as my feather butt sister says wooo woooo wooooo.
Hope you haven't forgotten about me. FM said we had some technical difficulties. I've been really busy. I had an extreme makeover last week, so I'm not so shaggy anymore and I smell really good. Check my snappy new look. And I went on 2 home visits Sat. with FM. That was a lot of fun. At home we play in the backyard and go for short walks. It's just too hot out to do much more than that. And I like shoes, preferably size 6 1/2 but any size will do. And since, I tried to rearrange the furniture last week, I'm not trusted anymore, so I spend my days crated. Why do sofas have skirts on them anyway? Lucky for me, FD has a staple gun to put that back on. I'm supposed to tell you that I'm a wonderful watch puppy. I protect my people from anyone walking by our house. I tell everyone that I live here and that's that. Here is my list if you want me to adopt you.  FM says she hopes I find a family soon because me and Meg are bonding (I think she means I'm teaching her bad habits). Whatever that means.

1. You have to have patience and I probably need obedience classes, cause I'm a little stone that just needs some polishing. 
2. I hope you have another fur butt for me to play with.  I wrestle and play with Meg all the time. It's not a deal breaker, though. If you have a neighbor dog that would play with me, that would work. 
3.  I'm very quiet inside and outside unless someone walks by or comes in my house. 
4. I am almost poddy trained.  Sometimes they miss my signals.  
5. I like to be in every room with you just to watch and sleep, but I don't get in your space. 
6. After we cuddle for a couple minutes, I like to sleep at the end of the bed and I don't take up a lot of room. 
7. I give little sweet kisses sometimes, but never your face. That's another secret. I get more kisses that way from my FM & FD on my nose. 
8. I love riding in the SUV, but you have to lift me up. I only weigh about 25 lbs.. 
9. I love to go for a walk every day. 
10. FM thinks I need a fence. My recall is good, but my memory is short. I like to explore. What can I say? I'm still learning stuff, ya know. 
11. I'm really smart and already know my last names: Sit, Off and Down. 
12. I LOVE kids of all ages and I've been cat tested 3 times. I just ignore 
them.
So, if you want me to look at your application and see if we are a good fit, then take a chance and contact placementatragom [dot] org 
 
Thanks for checking my blog.........Benji

Hi All,

First, let me explain the picture. I didn't do it. It was my fur butt foster sister's idea to rearrange the furniture. I just pulled off the blanket. It's not as bad as it looks. If you turn the pillow over just the right way, you can't see the rip or the cord that's pulled out. And don't even look at the window shelf. The vase with the fake flowers was already tipped over, honest. I must not be in too much trouble, FM came home and laughed and grabbed the camera. Kinda blows the mellow laid back personality I've had so far. Sure fooled them. We won't even discuss dad's shoe makeover this morning or the tupperware glass either. So, it's been a busy day for me. I like to shake things up a little cause that's what puppies do. I'm just a kid, ya know. Oh, Oh, FD is home. I've got some splaining to do.

Benji is obviously getting more comfortable around here. He is finally (after 1 1/2 weeks) acting like a puppy. We are having a fun time with chewing things and typical puppy antics. Benji jumped up on the bed last nite and slept straight thru 6 hours. He cuddles for 5 min. and sleeps at the end of the bed. He wants to be with his people. Benji gets his stitch out tomorrow and then a complete beauty makeover this weekend. 

Contact placementatragom [dot] org if you are looking for an older puppy that is 85% laid back/mellow and 15% Dennis the Menace. He'll keep you on your toes and give you a constant smile everyday......Thanks for reading Benji's blog.

Hey everyone,

We are getting to know this little cutie and having a blast with him. He's a charmer and excited to meet a family this weekend. He is grabbing some beauty sleep and asked me to update him.

 
Yup, I'm so happy being a RAGOM puppy, I'm swinging

 
What, I can't hear you.  Feather butt foster
sister is sticking the toy in my ear
 


A little to the left, a little to the right.Perfect. Toy is in the center.  (FM is trying to hide the vacuum)

Hi All

I am back from the vet and very tired, but I can still challenge my feather butt sister, Meg, to a tug o war game. I let her win most of the time. I think she really missed me. She hasn't left my side since I've been back. Can you believe what I have to wear so I don't mess with my stitches.

It's a dumb shirt that says, I'D RATHER BE NAKED. It's true, but geez. The party, party, party bandana is stupid enough. So, I'll be chillin' for a while but then I'll be available for adoption in a couple weeks. I'm still attached to FM cause I'm not poddy trained yet. But I'm still Benji-Good Boy most of the time. What do you expect, I'm only 9 months and stayed outside most of the time. Anyway, FM says lights out for now. Blog with you soon, & hey, thanks for reading about me..........Benji-Good Boy
