Bentley, Bubba, Boo Boo, Benny, Monkey,

Life will never be the same without you and honestly we don’t know how to move on. For almost 12 years you have been woven into every fiber of my life. I rescued your dirty, fluffy butt from a horrible home where you were infested with fleas and had a tummy full of worms. I cleaned you up and nursed you back to health. I was only 21 years old at the time, very broke and all I wanted was a dog of my own. All of those years ago I could have never dreamed of the life we have built together. I could write an entire book about our adventures together.

As soon as Nick entered our lives, you immediately liked him more than me (little traitor). Nick was obsessed with you from the minute he met you… You hopped around him like a bunny and threw your entire 85 pound body onto him. You gave him permission when he asked to marry me. You were a groomsman in our wedding. You were there to welcome both of your sisters home from the hospital with so much curiosity and excitement. Paige fell in love with you the minute you licked her face, she was hooked. You single-handedly ate every crumb they ever dropped from their high chairs, sometimes before it even hit the floor. You have probably witnessed and licked away every single tear I shed in those years while also helping me celebrate so much happiness. Thank you for being the best big brother, the best son, the best grandson, and the bestest friend I will ever have.

I hope you’re splashing in the waves, eating all the snow, digging up all the seashells, eating all the leftovers, playing hide and go seek, barking without anyone fussing at you, playing dress up and most importantly… I hope you are always watching over us. We love you sweet boy, we will never, ever forget you.

🤍 Bentley Upchurch 🤍
