Hey folks, its me. B.C. aka Benjamin Crafton.
I am having a great spring. I have been having so much fun playing outside with my brothers and sisters at my foster home and I have really been enjoying the few sunny days we have had here in the south. My foster mom tells me that april showers bring may flowers. Well, i am ready for those flowers b/c i love to go outside and play...rain rain go away! I can't personally type my updates to you b/c i dont have thumbs so i am sitting here at my foster moms feet under the computer desk as she types and I bark to her what i am wanting you guys to know.
Here are a few things I would love in my forever home:
1. An endless supply of tennis balls
2. A big fenced yard that i can run and dig in
3. someone who loves to go on walks, i am the BEST boy on walks (this is what my foster mom says). I dont even pull on the leash!
4. A warm bed to sleep in at night. I will sleep in my crate at night if i have to but boy there is nothing better then a doggie bed or a queen sized bed to sleep with YOU in!

Well, i have to run. It is time to go outside and look for cats and squirrles. I hope to meet YOU soon!
love, B.C.

***A NOTE FROM BENJAMINE ALAN CRAFTON***

First, welcome everyone to my petfinder page. If you are looking on here then you have to be slightly interested in my story and how I cam to be where I am now. I was a 'stray' for a very long time and ate dirt and rocks to survive. Once I got to my foster home, it has been all great from there. I have learned to love and trust and enjoy life. My favorite thing in the world is tennis balls, my mom has a tuperware container full of them that she pulls new ones out of every few days just so I have a fresh one to play with. I get along great with the dogs in my house right now but it takes me a while to figure out I don't have to be the boss. I love to bark (no apt life for me), I love going on walks, and I adore digging in my backyard (my foster mom is working on this).

I love going on walks and I am great on a leash, I walk right beside you and NEVER pull. Please consider me as your new family member!

Happy Howl-O-Ween.
Hey everyone, ben crafton here. I thought I would share my howl-o-ween costume with you.
I had so much fun dressing up and I tell you, i really enjoyed it. i am a clown at heart. I love to
play and goof off. My foster mom said I did really good with 'costume' time.
I am still getting my heartworms treated and will be done in early december, just in time for christmas pictures
i know you are excited! Seriously though, i am already planning on asking Santa if he will please send me
a FUREVER family for christmas, is that you?

Hey guys, its me...Ben.
I wanted to write and tell you how great I am doing. I am living the high life in my foster home right now. I have as many soft squeeky toys (aka my babies) that i can play with. I dont even chew them up, i just throw them around the room and love on them. I still love my tennis balls and will chew chew chew and then destroy! It is great fun! I will start my heartworm treatment in about 2 weeks, I am not too happy about that b/c that means 'quiet time' for me but hey, whatever my foster mom says, I say sounds good.
I am enjoying playing with the puppy in the house, we wrestle and play keep away. I am doing great with other 'boys' in the house too....We tolerate each other. My foster mom wants me to remind you. No kitties for me...They are just too irresistable! Ayyways, i am really ready to have my own family who will give me as many squeeky tennis balls and soft squeeky babies as they can afford.

hello world...remember me??? Ben Crafton. Well that wasn't my name when i was on the streets in the big city but that is my new alias. I am now in the witness protection program... I was picked up by animal control while running in the big city and they took me in. I was questions, had my mugg shot taken (I know i looked ruff) and then i was put in the back of an SUV and rushed to a vet where I was taken care of. Now i am living in the lap of luxury, a crate to myself, air conditioning and as many squeeky balls as this boy can handle! I love squeeky balls, my foster mom has tried to give me other boys, but i have no love or desire for anything but the ball! I know how to 'fetch' as my foster mom calls it but i call it being 'smart.' getting my 'mom' to throw the ball and again and again...what kind of fool is she? I have her wrapped around my little paw. Right now i am still scoping the place out, i wag my tail at the other dogs in the house but when my foster mom walks up i get real excited around them, i am just trying to show her how tough i am. I have no idea why she wont let me chase the cats. that was a game i played on the street, chase that cat, youc catch it, you got
ten points. 'mom' says that is a big no no in her house so she says I need to be honest and say no cats for me...
I am really looking fwd to my forever family, I am great with kids. there was a little toddler here. she was great.
she was really sticky and i had a great time licking her and i waiting patiently as i taught her to play 'fetch'
and even let her take the ball out of my mouth...anyways,
looking fwd to hearing from you!
