ReplyDeleteI remember the little hero and he is always in my heart. Let's show the big bad C the paws and I hope we will chase it away furever once
ReplyDeleteI don't see a link to donate via Team Frenchie? All I see is the Indianapolis Cancer Walk. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Benny was so special. It's like getting sucker-punched when the vet says the "C" word.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining our hop. Cancer does indeed SUCK. It takes so much from us, but the memories never leave us and the love never dies. We both have special angels now, looking out for us. Sending hugs!

Benny always made me smile. He is missed. Thank you for joining GCtP blog hop. We will never forget Benny.
ReplyDeleteBenny definitely fought the good fight. He did it like a Frenchie! I know how badly it still must hurt.
ReplyDeleteBenny put up a good fight, but the big C is almost unbeatable. Mom lost her dog Trine almost 11 yrs ago. Fine one day, gone a week later, she is still having trouble getting over it. Continue your fight for Benny!
ReplyDeleteWe did not get a chance to know Benny but learned of his fight through Blogville. He has left an amazing legacy. Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteI know how much you still miss Benny. I'm glad Edward is there to help fill the hole in your lives.
ReplyDeleteYou said it all beautifully!
