Meet Bentley

 This is Bentley Werner.  He is our dog and the baby of the family.  We had a boxer mix, Annie,  years ago who passed away, and it took me a long time to move on and ever think about getting a dog again.  Anthony’s girlfriend, Ronny, had a Golden Retriever and they were going to have a litter of puppies born in March.  We followed the puppies and I wasn’t thinking about getting one at first until I kept seeing pictures of this one particular puppy.  He was always the one getting into things he probably shouldn’t be getting into.  I started to really fall in love with a dog again and we decided that we would get him the day after our dance recital.  I didn’t have anything ready for a dog until we had some free time after dance to get a kennel.  Since we got him, he has completed our family. 

For a whole year, he has tried to get himself in this hammock.  I guess he has seen us all lying in it and relaxing.  Well, he finally did it so we had to take a picture of him in it.  He stayed in there for a good bit but then cried until Caroline joined him.  He is one of our children now and I don’t know how we went so long without a dog like we did.  As you can see, he brings all of his toys outside each day.  They start in one pile, and he carries them out into the yard one by one.  He is definitely one of our children!
