Today, my best friend passed away, my gardian angel, my soul mate,
my house caretaker, my conpanion... my everything...

at 1pm this afternoon Ben Ramsay passed away, on his favorite lounge,
with me at his side, his vet , was awsome, couldnt have been any better,
was so kind and gentle and respectfle ,  it was peaceful and i sat with ben
and patted him and huged him unitl the end..

Thanks Ben for 8 great years together...

Thanks to every one for there kind words , I wish you could all have met him..

Milo, at this point in time, words really won't mean much, and to be honest, don't know what to say anyway, but our friend... our thoughts are with you. Pete & June

Same here Milo,all the best mate David

Hi Milo, so sorry to read your post; what a wonderful vet you and Ben had,
deepest sympathies,
ozi

Oh Milo, I am so sorry mate, he sure made you smile and his memory will continue to do that for you.

Oh milo, you brought tears to my eyes. I know how you are feeling and wish you well. The wonderful memories with your mate will never fade.

My best friend close his eyes today As his head was in my hand The doctor said he was in pain It was hard for him to stand The thoughts that scurried throught my head As i cradle him in my arms Were of his younger puppy year's And OH his many charms Tomorrow there be no gentle nudge With the intence "I love you gaze" Only a heart that fillled with tears Remembering our joy filled years But a angel just appeared to me And he said "You should cry no more GOD also loves our canine friend"s HE'S installed a doggy-door REST IN PEACE BEN

oh how sorry i am to hear of that very sad news ,lets hope the wonderful memories you had with your pal will last forever take care and thinking of you xx

Think we all bonded with Ben the last couple of weeks. Feels like we lost one of our own. Hang in there Milo. You did the best you could in the circumstances. Johnw

 SO,SO,SO SORRY, Milo hang in there Mate, we cannot say anything to erase the way you are feeling, But you know, Ithink in a way, all your dog loving Buddies on this site, have met Ben in a way !!! as we have all had our own Ben;s, just called them different names, we loved them, and they loved us, and we have all had to go through what you are now going through
Read Lilly's poem, it is magic, and true, !! It takes a lot to make me shed a tear, but you and Ben, have managed to do it. !! R.I.P. Benny Boy       Rgs dazren.

Yes Milo a sad day indeed. As I sit here my german shepherd (in ashes form) looks over me  on the computer and 5 years later it is still very hard. I hope you can get some consultation from your wonderful memories. Your precious pet was lucky to have you.

Hylda's & my sympathy's go out to you

Take care
Hylda & Jon

Thinking of you at this sad time Milo but at least you were there to hold Ben in your arms as he passed peacefully away. Remember all memories will be happy ones!

What can I say that has not already been said. Milo, you stood by your Ben to the last. We would do the same for our Brodiel. regards John & Lorraine & Brodie

Chin up Milo. He knew he was loved. Lill'y beautiful poem says it all. We're thinking of you mate. Take care, Dellie

Gday...
Milo, we haven't met you or Ben ... but we have been reading about Ben over the past weeks.
We echo all the thoughts said above and as we too lost a 'best mate' we know how you feel. Choked back a tear.

Cheers
Julie & John

Can hardly post for tears, so sad. All our loving thoughts to you Milo may time as always ease the pain you feel now.

Thinking of you. A tough time now but from what has been written over the past few posts, your memories of time together will last forever.

Milo, I am so sorry to hear your sad news.
I know that there are no words that can ease your pain but I am sure that you will take comfort from knowing that so many of us truly do care.
You and Ben were fortunate to find each other and be such great mates.
I have been there too and I am crying with you.

Sorry to hear that news Milo our thought's are with you
its hard when you loose your mate just think of all the times you had with him
that's one thing that they can't take away good memories

I also am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that you were there with him. He knew you loved him so.

So sorry to hear the sad news Milo.  Not that it's any consolation, but I'm glad that Ben had a peaceful passing with his best mate by his side.

Milo, I am so very sad at the loss of Ben and of knowing what you must be going through. Your hurt will pass with time, but Ben's is over, he is out of pain, he is a happy dog again, up in heaven. He will watch over you and possibly send another friend for you to love. Remember all the good times and know that God needed a good dog, so Ben is happy. RIP Ben from Allara, Maggie, Susie, Remi, Teddy and Missy and Bobby

So sorry Ben lost his battle, Milo -- we've been through just that too -- but he was so lucky to have you by his side. Our thoughts are with you. Andrea & John

Thank you every one , once again.... nice to have your thoughts and prayers. I just got a call from pets at peace, I should be getting Ben Ramsay's ashes back on thursday, at least its some closure for me I guess... I'm aslso considering making a nice card with a pic of ben on it and giving that to our vet, who was so great with ben all these years... it was hard on him too.. and im backing up all my pics n videos of ben too on disc, so i hope i never loose them.. I'm going to the Uk in feb with my dad for a few months , and then maybe if i dont sell my house inbetween time i may have a little friend again.. I'll give myself plenty of time before i do that though, as much as it hurts to not have my fourlegged buddy around and find myself still talking to him,... 4 years on and i still talk with my mum..... i guess its normal.?? milo...

It's all been said but I can only add my sincere and genuine sympathy.  Time heals, and memories help.  Hang in there mate, just remember the love and companionship.....
