In Loving Memory

Benjy

My lovely Benjy... I love this dog so much and he is one hell of a pampered dog. But all in all he is my baby Benjy. Have you ever met a dog who doesn't really like to eat his dinner. He loves whatever we are eating and not whatever we had cooked for him. Really! This is one unique dog. Hahhahaha. Yes, Benjy always think that what we are eating is way much better than his food. Come on,... his food is always cooked specially for him everyday with a different menu from chops to beef and even a whole club sandwich which I made myself for my lunch. I actually made two servings one for me and the other for him... Eggs, cheese, raddish pickles, ham, lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber all sandwiched between two slices of wholemeal bread..... Damn! He is one hell of a King..

I once cooked him a steak.. A steak which is not for dogs.... Like I said he is a pampered dog... When the steak is placed on his dish after I had grilled it to medium rare. He just sniffed and walked away.... sat in his usual place and stared at me... He gave the "it doesn't taste nice look"... I called out to him and he trotted towards me... I cut part of the steak and fed him.. He turned his head away so I got fed up and forced it into his mouth...My usual way of making him taste the food... He spat it out and looked at me with his "it doesn't taste nice look"... I waited there giving him my stare and he eventually ate it at slow pace.... This has become a routine and I honestly think that he loves this attention...

Sadly Benjy was most probably poisoned to death by those authorities as he went out for his evening walk. He never came back, so I the chances of being poisoned was high. Truly I waited so many weeks and yet no sign of him..... I missed his bark, his laziness and pampered attitude. I am still hoping for his return... anticipating it but to no avail....

It has been so long since I last had a hamster as a pet. They are the most adorable creatures ever in the world and I could not resist the temptation of posting the pictures to share. Rodents and I only mean Hamster only are adorable. I used to have like 3o over hamster at a time as the breeding got out of hand and I probably cried 10 over times each one dies at that time. Hahahhaha... The life span of more than a year and the attachment to each and everyone is so strong that I would feel so heavy-hearted when their time comes. You should have seen the graveyard of mine of hamsters. Seriously, I was that sane to have an area in my backyard for my hamsters' grave.

Now and then I would miss the time whenever there is a hamster around. I actually have stopped having hamster as a pet. There was no apparent reason for that. The last hamster I had was an Algerain Dwarf hamster and boy! that hamster bites. My dog - Benjy would sit in front of the hamster cage and stared at it for hours. He was so cute, probably thinking when is the time the hamster would fill his stomach. My dear Benjy did not do anything to the hamster unless I played with it. Benjy would bark non-stop trying to bite it away from me... Hahhahahah
