SuperBen (aka Bentley)

As you know, we've had another adorable foster baby at the Lapdog B & B for a couple of weeks.  Meet Bentley, aka SuperBen!  During his stay with us he has learned so much, including how to jump from one couch to another, with ears straight out, flying like Superman!  In I tap my shoulders and call his name, he'll come flying into my lap.

He was originally listed as a wired haired terrier/pug mix, but that's obviously not the case.  He was found in a bucket by a river in TN with his litter mates, and while a few of them had the wired hair, Ben and at least one other did not.  He's got that really smooth, shiny coat like Lola has and luckily, like hers, it dries pretty fast because he thought the cooler (with left over melted ice water) was a pool...

We're 99% confident the little guy is a Boxer/Pug/Lab/something mix... just look at his perpetual pouty lips and long, lanky legs. He's also quite the little cuddle bug. He & I spent part of his second day here being lazy while Matt was in Maine fixing his race car...

I'm actually pre-typing this post on Sunday evening to set for auto-post this week and suspect that by the time you read this, Bentley will be in his forever home in Massachusetts.  I spoke with his new Mama on Thursday night and it sounded like a perfect match, but she was away on vacation through the weekend, so the plan is for her to pick him up on Monday.

At 16 weeks old, Ben is a bundle of energy and has been keeping all of the kids us on our toes.  He's been wrestling with whoever has the energy and when they don't, he's happily amusing himself with toys.  I'm thinking our spoiled brats kids' toys were the first he's ever really seen, as after being rescued he spent his time boarded at a vet's office because they didn't have a foster home available down South...

Boys being lazy, Bentley and Tut...

Ben took a big liking to following Zeus around outside whenever possible.  I'm not sure Zeus was too amused by his new little shadow, but they did bond over sticks...

He definitely knows his name , even when I call him Ben or Ben-Ben, so hopefully his new Mama doesn't want to change it!

Of course I have more cute photos, but I'll save those for another post...

What a doll. I agree with your take on his family tree.

Bentley is adorable. Looks like he had loads of fun while he was with you. I'm glad he's found a good home!

He's very cute, not too big, and is named after a very expensive car. Nice that you get to spend a little while playing with a puppy, and even better that he has a nice home to go to.

lol That's what we call Micro when he does those flying leaps off the couch..."Supaman!"

Love all those pictures. I hope he enjoys his new forever home!
