R.I.P. Benjamin Scott Button Clarke

It's been a while since I was last here...

My poor Ben passed away a few hours ago. He was only one and a half. Despite dose after dose of baytril over the past few days, an infection took him from me. He keeled over, and then died while I was rushing him to the vet.

He gave me so much joy, and helped me through a lot of hard times with his wheeking and his constant licking of my fingers. Always the first up to the edge of the cage when I came home, he gave me kisses through the grids. He liked to climb up onto my head and watch TV with me.

Thanks for everything Ben. Gone but never forgotten.

Love from Mum, Bill, Cookie, Heidi, Troilus and Pandarus xx

I'm so sorry.

We've been in the same type of situation, so I know how hard it is.

Rest well, little Ben...you are very badly missed.

I am so sorry for your loss. RIP Ben... May you run forever free and happy over the rainbow bridge.

I dedicate this song to you;

Ben, the two of us need look no more
We both found what we were looking for
With a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
And you, my friend, will see
You've got a friend in me
(you've got a friend in me)

Ben, you're always running here and there
You feel you're not wanted anywhere
If you ever look behind
And don't like what you find
There's one thing you should know
You've got a place to go
(you've got a place to go)

I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
I used to say "I" and "me"
Now it's "us", now it's "we"
Ben, most people would turn you away
I don't listen to a word they say
They don't see you as I do
I wish they would try to
I'm sure they'd think again
If they had a friend like Ben
(a friend) Like Ben
(like Ben) Like Ben
