I can’t believe it’s been a year already! It feels like I saw the email yesterday and drove 3 hours to go and get you. I remember that first look, that tug on my heart. I knew I wasn’t leaving the shelter without you.
It has been such an adventure. This sweet and uber goober moved right in. Benji snuggled his way into my bed and right into my heart.
Yesterday we celebrated your one year gotcha day. We celebrated one year of getting to know each other. One year of how far can I push to get treats, how much do I have to do to distract her from work so she can scratch my bum, how I can fake interest when she tells me about her day, how I pretend to love her singing and how close can I snuggle when it’s cold or windy and I’m scared.
Benji is by far the neediest dog I’ve ever owned. And you know what, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Happy gotcha day big goof! I’m so glad you are with me on this epic journey!
Much love, Joan and Benji
