*R*I*P* BDD : Ben de-Dog
Folder: SOME OF THE ANIMALS IN OUR LIVES
Ben has left to cross the rainbow bridge, just after Noon on the 4th June 2024. The last thing he heard was me telling him what a good lad he was and I was hugging him to the end. His ashes were handed back to us on 12th June 2024.

BDD - friendship smoochies

Beauty has come over to Ben de-Dog for a quick smooch - she rubs her face on his, if he stays still long enough.
BBD - Beauty and Ben ...

Now a common sight - Ben and Beauty eating their meals alongside each other, in this case, it's breakfast.
Although Ben always finishes first - well, he IS a Labrador, after all - he has not attempted to filch her food at mealtimes. Even when she runs off before finishing - usually because she's still very nervous.
.
Partly because he's quite elderly, Ben's dish sits on a little "table" - actually a small step / stool. The extra height helps his swallowing / digestion.

Mad Dogs and Englishmen ...
Ben is thoroughly enjoying this - he's having plenty of fun, splashing about in the shallows.
I think he wants one of us to come in with him !

See the wave top just by Ben's ears ? The small stick he's chasing after splashed down just the far side of the peak.

Slightly soggy Ben, hoping that one of us will join him in shallow seawater splashing.

After we had eaten lunch at the cafe; the next item on our agenda was to take Ben de-Dog onto the beach.
[Set of 6 images]
He really enjoys walking on sand, and loves a paddle in the sea. If it's warm enough, he can usually be persuaded to swim a little. Especially important when he's moulting, as the dried sea salt helps de-grease his coat and remove loose fur.

This very welcome change in policy is "Wilkos" in Whitehaven.
The town does have a very significant dog-owning section of the resident & visiting populations.
.
It also means that you don't have to trip over dogs waiting outside !

And back again - that was either a very short morning walk or a very quick comfort break.
