We adopted Benson May 2010, he was in a shelter because he was "impossible to housebreak" we took a chance on him because my husband and I instantly fell in love with his gorgeous face! He only had 2 accidents before he was completely crate trained. We still do not leave him to his own devises and out of his crate when we are not home, but that is mostly because he and our cats can get a little rowdy. =) He is the light of my life and I can't imagine life without him.
