Benji came to us from the animal shelter in February 0f 2002. A fluffy puppy, gentle in nature. His favorite thing in the world was a hike or backpack trip, and he travelled many miles with backpack groups. He climbed more than 15 Colorado 14’ers, and many, many lower peaks. Loyal and faithful, it’s always said that if you wanted to find Winston, just look for Benji. He loved riding in the car – any car – and was always hopeful that the ride would end up at a trailhead. He never missed a hamburger cookout, waiting patiently under one of the tables until somebody delivered a burger. Rest in peace Benji, you will be missed.
