On April 1 we celebrated Benson’s 14th birthday!
The girls made him some homemade treats, which he gobbled up. He’s slow these days, but still likes to go out for a walk most days, even if he can only make it a few houses before we need to turn back. He had his annual check up recently and the vet said that his heart still sounds good. His front legs give him some trouble, and lately he’s been losing his balance a bit, but overall, he’s a happy old man who has lived a good, long life 🙂
On April 1 we celebrated Benson’s 13th birthday! While he’s slowed down a bit in the last few months, he’s still got some spunk in him. He got a bone that made him do his new bone dance and a cake shaped cookie that he devoured.
He spent most of the weekend doing what he does best…
The day after we got back from vacation was Easter. We made it very low key, with brunch at the UL Torresdale. Zoe and Elliott joined us as well.
The Easter crew.
It was chilly – so jackets went on right after this picture was taken. Where is spring?!
Easter was also Benson’s 12th birthday. Zoe and Elliott watched him while we were away, and they spoiled him with his own cake.

Here he is with his cousin, Merci from a few months ago.

Even though he’s getting up there, he’s still spry when he wants to be. Here’s a video of him with a new bone.
Happy birthday, buddy!
