The picture below is the last one we have of him, and it's with Buster.

    
Bentley was a wreck when we got him from a pet store. Someone had bought him and then threw him back into the store and drove off. I purchased him for $100. He was quite the puppy...chewing up everything he could get to. We took him to obedience school, and he passed every section except the part where he was supposed to stand still...he wiggled his rear. And to the day he passed he was a barker. He barked because he was happy, and he thought he was the neighborhood's welcome wagon (waggin'?). Bentley loved all people and animals. He'd go crazy when he'd see another dog or cat, because he wanted to play.

As hard as it has been to be home without Bentley, we are so happy to have  Buster. He has helped us cope with the loss. When we got home from the vet's office the day Bentley left us, Steve and I just plopped onto the bed. Buster jumped right up (his first time on the bed) between us as if saying "it's ok, people, I'll help you through this!"

Thanks for sending Buster our way!

Sandi, Steve & Buster.
