Best Beloved Benson

http://i386.photobucket.com/albums/oo305/lejospopo/benson.jpg

your warm chubby puppy belly
the way you crawl up my belly and sleep on my chest with your chin resting on my cheek while we both nap
you give good sleepy cuddles
your feet smell like popcorn
the way you like to sit/sleep/hang out on my shoulders
you are very soft
you look ridiculous when you run and it's awesome
you are pretty smart for a baby

OMG YESSSSS! <3 <3 <3

wrt 3 am working on it

that's better than what I was thinking

That was the Benson I was thinking of. I didn't really understand the show as a kid, but I tried to incorporate the dialogue into my everyday conversations, ie, "I think I'll pass up this chance to insult you, Krauss".

Sweet jesus what have you done to my poor sweet dog!?

guys, i think its a shop :/

First thought was of the "Benson Arizona" song from the beginning of Dark Star

Throw in some rave fractals and you'd make a fortune at Glastonbury.

srsly. plz make available as a high-res img, thx

i have a friend who would be ~delighted~ by such a poster

lol i make these using something called "paintbrush" (like a less functional ms paint) and crop them on image preview. i dont know what a rave fractal is or how to make something hi res.

Just seeing this now. Probably going to try figure out a way to print and frame that.

the reckoning?

also, how will you explain that to ppl "oh its just by this guy i know on the internet who likes to do collages involving my dog w/ mystical/homoerotic overtones"

Would probably say just that. Well, might leave out the homoerotic overtones bit but you know.

Video is dark and sideways and I sound retarded for some reason so turn the sound off, turn your heads to the side and squint so that you can see that this dog is pretty odd.

Seriously would frame this.

Benson bit me. He’s been having some behavioral problems the last few months (aggression when he’s tired) and on Tuesday morning he bit me in the face and I had to go to the ER and wound up with two stitches right through my top lip. I am so heartbroken. Going to contact a doggy therapist tomorrow but I’m really afraid this is age related and isn’t going to get better. This guy has been my source of comfort through so much the last few years and I’m beside myself. I am afraid to even let him sleep on or near me now. :(

hes been through a lot a changes recently ?

<3

Yes. I think it’s honestly a combo of doggie PTSD and age but it just sucks and my fucking mouth hurts! After he did it I felt with my tongue and my upper lip was split in half. The little bugger only has like 7 teeth left! I just really hope the behavioral therapist can offer some solutions.

yeah but srsly big changes for the guy imo <3

:-(

so sorry to hear that. my little guy and i do a fair amount of play-fighting, and he likes to bite my nose. i never worry about him really biting me, but he's getting older too, and the thought has crossed my mind - what would i do next if he actually bit me?

Aw, V hopefully he never will. I grew up with dogs and plenty got older than B and I’ve never experienced this before. I do think this is a combo of doggie PTSD and old age. I cried on the phone to my therapist about it today, “But he’s my *sniff* little *sniff* cuddle buddy!” :/

well, he is, isn’r he? i think you should give him another chance. can they medicate him?

my friends/family have had experience with dog old age and dementia-type symptoms and that is definitely an option. not a given that it’d work, but worth trying. he’s your little dude, he’s just in a different place in life

Oh I’m not giving up on him or anything!!! I was only sad because it’s hard when he growls now and given that this was so recent I’m a little afraid and that’s not a great feeling.

Thinking of you! I been there. It sucks. Hugs

really sorry to hear about that, E. did you go to the doggy therapist yet? did they have any useful tips?

holy shit E I'm so sorry, that is so stressful and jarring

Aw, thanks guys. Stevie - it really has been. Waiting for a call back from the behavior lady so hopefully will know more soon.

Benson has a buddy! Meet Ralphie:

Hi Ralphie! (I didn't see the image? does this work?)

https://i.imgur.com/q2N1ev5.jpeg

Dammit I thought I couldn’t see it just cause I was on my phone. Will check my laptop.

I’m clearly out of practice posting.

Thanks for fixing, StanM!

Benson is 12 next month (how?!) and Ralphie is 8 months and the puppiest puppy I've ever met. He's the biggest rascal but a real sweetheart. They are . . . best frenemies.

Awww. Glad to meet you, Ralphie.

:)

He’s from Basildon just like Depeche Mode. Vince was a contender for the name but Ralphie was more fitting.
