Re: Meet Benji
 

Owww look at that face......I could just grab his cheeks and give him a big kiss....:D

Re: Meet Benji
 

sorry mate not interested! met enough dogs in my time.:D

Re: Meet Benji
 

He's beautiful KSH, I think your going to have a few restless nights with that one. I can tell you they bloody hurt when they bite you. excellent Photos as well.....

Re: Meet Benji
 

I think I know what you mean, but we do keep going back don't we.....:)

Re: Meet Benji
 

Whats the score with jabs and worming etc nowadays? its about 18 year since we last had a puppy.
Think it was 10 week for jabs, anyone confirm this

Re: Meet Benji
 

Don't you mean the Dog's keep letting you go back?? :rolleyes:

Re: Meet Benji
 

No I meant that every time we say we wouldn't have another, we always do. :rolleyes:

perhaps you where thinking of something else :D :D

Re: Meet Benji
 

He's lovely KSH, a right little cheeky chops.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Aaawwww he's sooooo cute!

Re: Meet Benji
 

a little BT...I have one of those..and is about 6months now a right little character..

Re: Meet Benji
 

Awwwww such a cutie!im so jealous-getting broody for a puppy but they soon grow up and cause so much mayhem i couldn't put up with jack AND a puppy.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Well i'm not sure if I got 1 or 2
The Mrs has spent as much time on the floor as the pup :D

Re: Meet Benji
 

Oh how cute a baby ankle nipper. ;)

Re: Meet Benji
 

omg!!!!!! Hes sooooo cute, georgous...

Re: Meet Benji
 

What a beautiful little puppy. We had two Yorkies for years.....we were boken hearted they died......vowed we wouldn't have another dog, then we got Barker....a Jack Russell......had him for 14 years. Again heart broken when he died just over 12 months ago...so far we have resisted the urge to get another dog....but your little Benji makes me long....aaaaaah!

Re: Meet Benji
 

We were exactly the same when our Cocker spaniel died at 14, said we would never have another but that was 7 year since, so its taken us that long to get another

Re: Meet Benji
 

I am sure it is healthier to have an animal....with a dog you have to go out whether you want to or not....and the other thing about having a dog is that people speak to you.....even if it is only to ask you what your dog is called.
I know my hubby met many dog walkers when he was out with Barker. He went into a deep fug when he didn't have the dog to take out.
We have 2 cats......(oh, yes and two strays that I am not allowed to call mine...but we feed them and look after them!) but cats are pretty independent creatures......not the same as having a dog.

I hope you will have many hours of fun with your new addition to the family.
I am quite envious.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Awww what a little cutie.

Re: Meet Benji
 

My what a horrid looking dog. Should have got this...

Re: Meet Benji
 

Thanks for sharing KSH, very adorable! Personally, I'm with Silvermain, love the German Shepard Dog!

Re: Meet Benji
 

Awwww.... He's cute. My dad has 2 mini Yorkies and they are little b*ggers but very loving. I can't remember when their first jabs should be. It is sometime between 8-12 weeks I think. Give the vets surgery a ring and ask them, I remember the receptionist being very helpful when I got mine. :D

Re: Meet Benji
 

aaaawwwwww ksh he's real cute hope you have many happy years with him

Re: Meet Benji
 

AWWWWW Isn't he just the cutest!! :D

Re: Meet Benji
 

With regards to the series of injections, usually the first one is administered at 8 weeks, with the follow up injection being given two weeks later. It is then advisable to wait another couple of weeks, to let the anti-bodies contained in the injections take effect, before letting your pup have any contact with other dogs.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Okay now im freaked out. I swear that looks like my carpet, but I dont recall seeing the cute doggie around here! :D

Re: Meet Benji
 

Thanks for all your info on the jabs etc, ringing the vets tomorrow to book in for a health check and jabs

Re: Meet Benji
 

Would you believe that the parrot has learnt Benji's name already - in about 28 hours, the Mrs must have been shouting of him non stop today, anyway - now the parrot knows he's name he'll soon know it himself :)

Re: Meet Benji
 

He's a real cutie

Re: Meet Benji
 

We used to have a african grey parrot. They can be hallarius around dogs. We used to let our little dog out in the back garden for a widdle........just as the dog went out, the bloody parrot would whistle of the dog, so the dog would come in thinking it was us whistling him back in. Sooo funny......poor dog thought he had schizophrenia...:D

Re: Meet Benji
 

I think we'll stick to ninetendo dogs - least all the mess & hassle is virtual tho u wouldnt think it at times with the shouting "beg", sit" etc - thats enough lol

Pups are like babies cute till they grow & get little personalites:rolleyes:

I'll stick with fish they're easier on the voice & ears lol

Re: Meet Benji
 

It's an african grey we've got, i've know it learn things quickly but never in 24 hours, he keeps shouting Benji - come on - and whistling at him :)

Re: Meet Benji
 

That sounds so funny :D

Re: Meet Benji
 

Here's a few more pictures of him

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/a...1&d=1164488988

Re: Meet Benji
 

His full name should be Accyweb Benji KSH lol. He's a little cutie.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Got a lead for him today and trying him out with it so he can get used to it, he's not too keen though :) should be OK by the time he's had his jabs and ready for going out, Xmas day will be his 1st outing.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Ah... bless he gets cuter has he gets older. I wish i could have him. He's just sooooo gorgeous.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Just the right size for a kickabout

Re: Meet Benji
 

Aaah he's gorgeous!

Re: Meet Benji

Re: Meet Benji
 

Bless him, I'd be careful with the Hoover......

Re: Meet Benji
 

He loves that, he chases it round the room :D

Re: Meet Benji
 

Are they looking for me? Why don't they just look under the sofa - thats where I am :p

Its a tight fit him getting under there, don't know how he manages to do it, won't be doing it for much longer :)

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/a...1&d=1165769732

Re: Meet Benji
 

Here he is again, 12 week old now playing with his favourite toy, enjoys going out for a short walk, soon sits down when he's had enough and wants to go home.
Sure them teeth are getting sharper :eek:
Trainings coming along nicely, good on a lead, sits, waits fetches his ball etc, gets a treat when he does something we want him to do - ie coming straight in from the back garden when we shout of him, crafty git has started just walking outside the door then coming straight back and sitting waiting for his treat :D

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/a...1&d=1167160694

Re: Meet Benji
 

How is he with Referees, Can he seek and chase balls. :D

He's looking good KSH. :)

Re: Meet Benji
 

Should I train him to chase people in black :D
Nice and fast with a ball Doug but don't mention red shirts, Mrs bought him a red coat but I told her I aint go anywhere with a dog with one of them on :mad:

Re: Meet Benji
 

I've an Idea, whip down to the club and get Lee to stick a couple of Accrington Stanley Chrests on the sides. :) Job done you'll be proud to take him out after dark......:D

Re: Meet Benji
 

I've just had a bath :( wasn't too keen on it but I had to have one because someone give me an ice-cream tub to lick and I got it all over my face :D

Benji that is before anyone comments :D

Re: Meet Benji
 

Bad news I'm afraid, Benji was knocked down today and died when we got him to the vets, I feel so guilty it's hurting like hell.
We'd been out for a nice walk with him up jack-house and the pine forest, been as good as gold and had a nice run about, we got back home, got out of the car and put him on the pavement like we have done so many times, he usually heads for the steps and runs to the front door waiting for us to let him in, why was today different? he turned and ran across the road, he must have heard the children that we're going home from school and was heading for them, he loved children, always headed for them when he see any.
I got him to the vets within 5 mins, he was still alive but died a few mins later.
Lots of questions i'm asking myself now, he was spoilt rotten here by all of us, sure he had a great time with us but i'm feeling like an irresponsible pet owner now, he's always on a lead near traffic etc but we let him off in the country or anywhere safe, why didn't I carry him in, why didn't I put the lead on, why didn't I go home a few mins earlier/later, why did I refuse to work Fri night - I wouldn't have been out with him at that time if I had been working.
It doesn't seem the same here, he wasn't a noisey dog but theres an eery silence about this place, it's not the same without him.
Do I get another i'm asking myself, I know he can't be replaced but it might help
Got 2 pics of him today that we will treasure, wish I had got more now.
we'd have done anything to stop it happening but there was nothing we could do.
I'm so sorry Benji -

Re: Meet Benji
 

Gulp ... xx

Re: Meet Benji
 

Sorry to hear about that KSH, you did everything u could & it was not your fault, sending you my condolences to you & your family.

Re: Meet Benji
 

what a bummer KSH, really feel for you.

Re: Meet Benji
 

oh ksh im so sorry to hear that, he really were so georgous im sure you did all you could for him , condolences to you and the family.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Sympathy to you and yours.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Sorry ksh he was a cutie pie.

Re: Meet Benji
 

brought a tear to my eye that sorry ksh to hear that news

Re: Meet Benji
 

oh, ksh im so sorry for your loss he was such a sweetie bless him.

Re: Meet Benji
 

My heart goes out to you K.S.H,me and my son got a staffy pup about the same time as you,and cannot begin to imagine how you must feel.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Thanks for all your reply's, how can you get so attached to a dog in 6 month, this place feels weird without him, no jumping up to greet you when you come in, no barking at you when he wants to play with his favourite toy rope, no chasing him round the room and under the table when he's got hold of something he shouldn't have, the doors still open for him to go in and out and the place is silent, Jasper (parrot) shouted his name a couple of times this morning.
Is it too soon to get another? we're thinking about it, we can't replace Benji but we can re-create the friendly playful house that we have been use to for the past 6 month, if we do get one it is going to be another male Yorkshire terrier.

Re: Meet Benji
 

you cant replace him as you said, but if you ALL agree another is the thing to do. just my 2 cents.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Sorry to hear about your loss.:(

If you ready for another dog then its not to early.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Thanks for directing me to this thread Ken as I had missed it :( So sorry to hear about the loss of little Benji and big hugs and kisses to all your family

But please, please,please stop blaming yourself and why is the cruelest question to ask yourselves so don't.... just remember the good times xxxx

Re: Meet Benji
 

Really sorry to hear the sad news.:(

Re: Meet Benji
 

Awwwww K.S.H I am so very, very sorry

I'm lost for words .....

Re: Meet Benji
 

Well we had a good chat about things and decided we had to get another, both agreed on a male yorkshire terrier, we found one we liked and brought him home today.
He WON'T replace Benji and we won't forget him, even thought of calling the new family member Benji but Mrs H wasn't too keen and I tried it and it didn't feel right.
The house feels kind of normal again (mad house) with a pup running about, we didn't like it the way it was - it's hard to explain but its was very eery, we both said the same thing.
Anyway the new member of the H family is Max, I'll get some photo's soon, you'll probably all think he looks like Benji but all Yorkshire terriers are black and tan when pups, some keep it but others go silver, gold, or slate (grey/blue), Benji was going the slate colour

Re: Meet Benji
 

Oh KSH.....I have really sweaty eyes here!!!

Sorry about little benji

you will have hours of fun with Max now.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Awwwwww cant wait for the pics KSH, im really mad over my fish & was really upset when my old boy died he was really an affectionate fishy to me, bless seems his tank buddy Wazz has taken the reins of that - he's the kissy one & geepers could take your finger off hehehehe less than a week later after my old boy died, i got owen, same type of fish & is now under wazzers fin hehehehe, but they may look same but they all have different characters aptly named so too :D so technically dont replace another when departed :)

Re: Meet Benji
 

I'll take a quick one now for ya

Re: Meet Benji
 

Talking of fish......I saved a fishes life today at work :D:D I'm a good girl.

Re: Meet Benji
 

Awwww u are a good girl:D:D Did u give it kiss of life???:D

Re: Meet Benji
 

one died but i managed to save one from the brink of death......so i have named him lucky :D

someone hadnt been cleaning the tank out :mad::mad::mad: so one was dead on the bottom, and one was floating on top....I flushed the dead one down the toilet heaven :D and put the other in a washing up bowl of clean water.....cleaned the fish bowl and popped him back in. Didn't think he would make it, but went back 1 hour later and he was swimming like a nutter :D:D

Re: Meet Benji
 

Thanks, it's hard, still missing Benji and Max does a lot of the things that Benji did so it brings memories back

Re: Meet Benji
 

What a cutie ... my dog is having a litter in a couple of weeks ... looking at the pics gets me in a good frame of mind for having six (she had ultrasound) little rotties destroying my home. A beautiful dog you have, a real sweetheart.

Re: Meet Benji
 

He's saying this is my place now if you think you are going to sit in this spot again you must be joking!!!

He's a cutie pie KSH.

Re: Meet Benji
 

LOL, best of luck, think i'll stick to one :D

Re: Meet Benji
 

Awwww K.S.H he is absolutely adorable! :D

Best of luck with him, and I look forward to seeing many more pics of him as he grows up ;)

Re: Meet Benji
 

After seeing those pics and talking to you yesterday have to say it brought tears to my eyes....he looks adorable

Re: Meet Benji
 

Nice puppy KSH and good pics too. Think it was a good idea to get another if you missed Benji so much just hope that Max brings his own style of enjoyment for you all
