With great enthusiasm and
unbounded energy, Benji has taken up residence on Park Place in Berkeley. He
thinks his person is Juju, but he’s not sure because then there are Jordan and
Christian—and then those three high-school boys who came and rough-housed with
him this afternoon. And that woman who came for happy hour and loved on him a
lot. It’s a dog’s life, learning to go in and out of the flexible screen,
running in the yard tossing his string toy for himself if no one else was
around, even resting while Juju napped—though ever on the alert and
occasionally letting out an ear-piercing howl. Who needs to eat? Life here is
too exciting. He’s not sure about sleeping tonight, though Juju wants to put him
in a crate, which is where he’s used too sleeping. Here are some pictures of his
first day. And the facts: Benji is a two-year-old border collie mix, black with
brown socks and white on his chest. He was rescued from a shelter as a pup, but
now his first family must move to an apartment and couldn’t take him with them.
PS from Juju: I am so grateful for the love and support I have gotten from my blog community during this emotional dog journey I have been on. You all are the best, and I love you.

This will surely mitigate the grief you have been through. Mazeltov!
Thank you. Surely keeping up with busy Benji will take my mind off Sophie, of blessed memory.
You and Benji are fortunate to have found each other. He will help you heal and you will give him the love he needs. Wishing you both joy.
Thank you, Ellis. I feel very fortunate. The people who had him for two years were good caretakers, so he's a happy and fairly obedient boy. This morning we're working on barking!
He's a cutie and we can't wait to meet him.
Thank you. I look forward to introducing you, whoever you are.
