Today will be Beni's 15th birthday! It's hard to believe I will have had Beni for 10 years this coming July. As most know the last 7 years have been somewhat rough ones as I continue to battle the glaucoma that had been diagnosed in September 2006. For all intents Beni cannot see although the doctors at Cornell still are of the opinion that he can distinguish between bright sun and shadow. No matter how dark his sight may be it has done nothing to dim the sweet temperment that has made him a fan favorite of everyone at Cornell. In spite of it all I have never once regretted my decision to adopt Beni after Valerie Whitely had passed away. Still though it's always on my mind that this Veteran Champion of the Ring shows more and more the signs of a long lived dog and I can only hope I have him for years to come.
