Hi! This is
Elizabeth ,
Bentley's
adopter/mother,
just wanting
to send an
update.
Bentley has
become quite
the Sheepie,
weighing in
at nearly
100lbs! He
completed a
training
course a
while back
and was one
of the best
in his
class.
Aside from
knowing how
to sit,
wait, come,
etc, he also
learned to
roll over,
sit up (see
picture),
and shake.
This last
summer I
discovered
that he
loves to
fish, and
can stare
for hours
into the
pond waiting
for one to
appear. He
loves
meeting
other dogs
and people,
and will try
to play with
even the
littlest
dogs in the
park (which
I'm sure
scares them
to death)!
I've
attached
some photos
of Bentley
from the
past few
months,
along with
one of my
mom's
(Barbara)
dog, Totse.
She got
Totse from
the OES
rescue many
years ago
(he's listed
with Annie
on the Happy
Tails page),
and I was
wanting to
give an
update on
him. I am
very sad to
say that
Totse had to
be put to
sleep a few
months ago
after
battling
bone
cancer. He
had to have
one of his
hind legs
amputated,
but after
only two
rounds of
chemotherapy,
the cancer
returned in
another leg
and then
showed up in
his lungs.
Totse was my
mom's
absolute
favorite OES
ever and is
terribly
upset to
have lost
him. He was
cremated
with his
favorite
over-sized
stuffed toy
and rests in
a beautiful
mahogany box
in the
library.
