This is Benny!

Hi all. I've not been too sharp this week. When I discovered BT I was beside myself with delight. From day one Benny was by my side and coding with me. He'd stay up late then get up early the next morning to get back at it again, he never left my side. When I made my wee BT tribute on Friday night with my parrot I fully planned to use Benny in the next video, sadly that is not possible now. Cheers to those that love our 4 legged friends and cheers to BT for keeping Benny glued to my side through my app adventures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm7t9XjIqOE

I'm sorry for your loss :( He looked like such a happy dog. It's amazing how animals can have such an impact on our lives. No matter how hard of a day we have, we can always look at our animals and immediately forget about the worries we have because their hearts are filled with nothing but love. RIP Benny

Extremely sorry for your loss, Keith. I know the impact a pet can have...I had to put one of cats to sleep several years ago, and I still tear up thinking about her. She was awesome. Benny left knowing how much you loved him, and that's the best gift you could have given. Mark

Hey McApple - feel ur pain bro, there's nothing like a dog for companionship - on a brighter note - man I love that song you used in the tribute to Benny, "Bread" was the band wasn't it, that was an awesome song, a real blast from the past. Thanks and Cheers.

Thanks everyone, truly helps. Good lady and I are still a mess but all these kind words have put a wee smile back on my face. Sorry to post something like the above but my boy really was always by my side when I was on BT.

Sorry to hear. I'm sure I can't watch that vid, I think we've all lost close companions. That unconditional love is the best. Maybe this might cheer you up a bit? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vuvz8aoAuWs&feature=related the girl at :45 seconds get me everytime.
