I can see some of Sparky, my poodle/Jack Russell cross, in Bennie's eyes. Very expressive. He uses them to communicate with me. He's got an atomic clock in his head, keeping time better than I do. When it's time for something (walk, treat, meal, attention) he'll come and stare at me. Then we play 20 questions. When I ask the "right" question, he blinks at me with his left eye. He's 15 now, still sprightly and energetic, eating, drinking, peeing and pooping like he was a kiddo. But I still dread the day that will eventually arrive.This is my little Bennie (lost him last year RIP Bennie)....he was a great little Parsons Jack Russell, was spoiled but had a really complex personality. But I bonded with him, because I realized his personality was very much like my own. He was fairly young in this picture, was fast as hell, he'd outrun larger faster dogs often somehow.

I am happy for the time you had with Bennie, and share your grief at his crossing of the rainbow bridge. RIP, Bennie. You were, and are, loved.
