...it was a mystery for me why my kids left me when i wasn't at their side...and I just realized that GOD knows it will be so hard for me, to let them go without me...HE wants me to take care of my other kids till my last breath...

Tribute for "Ayah"

Ina. Ch. Benhur von Blesofky

(August 9th, 1999 - November 28th, 2006)

His loving and tender manner to people, especially to children showed his truly character as golden retriever. He was the best-mannered golden retriever I have ever had. He had been "a teacher" for us, human, with his loyalty, sincere, patience and wisdom. That is why we called him "Ayah" (daddy)...

a year before he left us, ben had suffered three surgeries on his elbow for tumor. on his last surgery, his left elbow had to be taken since the tumor was savaging, becoming cancer..

just about three months after his last surgery,  the cancer had spread into his lung. he passed away because of breathing failure..

"missing you so ayah.. I will always be..."

I would like to thank:

• my parents and Mr. Roby, for the supports

• Mr. Siswo Han (Concetta Kennel) for the help taking care of Benhur until his last time

• Mr. Setyo Budhi and Miss Putri, our vets, for the medical support

• my friends that I can't mention here, for all the supports

I never thought Ben left so many memories for my friends. Some still do not believe that Ben has left us, some disappointed that they failed to mate their bitches to Ben, some think the way I do, no Goldie as ideal as Benhur!
