12/15/06: Benny arrived at my house yesterday. Benny is a big, sweet, quiet and loveable guy. He is 12.8 years old and is so soft I just can't stop hugging him.

He enjoys his own company, and at times I had to go look for him because he is so quiet. He ignores my cats and has spent a lot of time sleeping.

Benny has arthritis so he gets up very slowly and is on Metacam to help the pain. I also introduced Benny to green beans which fortunately he likes so we will try to get some weight off those hips to help with the arthritis.

I will write more as I get to know him but I think with Benny it's what you see is what you get. He would love to spend his senior years being loved and having his tummy rubbed.

What a gentle giant he is!!

Benny has been here a week and he remains the sweetest soul with a couch fetish :) He has made it perfectly clear that the couch is HIS, as you can see from this picture.

He has begun to play a little, but after a minute or so he needs to rest. He likes to chase the tennis ball but really doesn't know what to do with it once he gets it, but he's beginning to get the hang of that retrieving thing. He continues to be a gentleman and the perfect house guest.

Benny wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and hopes Santa brings lots of pigs ears to all!
