We didn't actually say goodbye to him though.. we tried to act like he was just going for a walk with this family as he has done many times over the past couple of weeks. I was really sad, though, because Bentley has been such a great companion to me this past year while I've been on a leave of absence from work. Anyway, in case I have forgotten to say why he can't come with us to Gatwick, it is because we forgot to give him his rabies vaccine booster shots (..and why would we because Norway is a rabies-free country!..) so they expired and we had to start from scratch, give the vaccine, wait a month then do the blood test to prove that he doesn't have rabies, and THEN wait 6 months! So on Oct 21 (assuming the test results are ok), Bentley will be able to come live with us in the UK and be a free dog. Until then he is going to be very loved and well looked after by a family that has been wanting to get a dog for years and have been afraid to commit to that responsibility. I think we are going to miss him more than he will miss us! Anyway, bye for now Bents. We love you :-)

Bye for now, Bentley
Today we moved out of 'our' house. Nothing is packed yet really, so we aren't actually moved out, but we the people are now sleeping in different digs (temp furnished apartment). We also said goodbye to Bentley today as he moved in with our neighbors for the next 6 months!
